Online casino Boomed more because of Pandemic , people tend to gamble daily has no choice but to play thru online and now they love paying it.
But we do not know what will change once the Corona Virus totally died if the Reality gamblers will return in their seats inside casino houses, or will remain in their Houses and plays using crypto.
But yes VR is a innovation of gambling business strategy and we knew that gamblers always tend to find new experience so indeed this VR gaming will soon boom .
Why not both? Honestly, I don't think online would die out even if the lockdown experience was to be completely removed. It just opened up a whole new idea for most players that they can well, gamble in their homes. Same could be said with offline, even if online exists I hardly doubt it would actually die out, they both have their own characteristics and both would have their own niche market. VR, if it is actually implemented properly, would take both characteristics into one, though that's still far off imo since replicating all senses in VR would still take time.
