Video Poker 247 - Video Gamers Could Be Video Poker Players Before Long

The gambling industry is always looking for ways to grab those players that have not yet tried out video poker or slot machines, and now they think that they have finally done it. They say that they may have been looking over something that was under their nose the whole time.

Video gamers. Those that play video games online or after school could be the next generation of video poker or slot machine players, and manufactures have decided that this is who they should be targeting now. The video poker games and slot machines would be more like video games instead of casino games.

They might make noises like arcade games, or even flippers such as for pinball. The video poker and gambling industry has realized that they need to get on the ball or they are going to lose their precious edge over the competition who is probably already thinking up how to tap into the market.

Mark Clayton, a member of the Gaming Control Board, says that he is “dumbfounded” that no one has done that yet. He says that because of the complexity of the video games these players might excel at video poker, etc. because of their “training” on video games.

Cyberview is one company who has already started to develop games that will entertain both groups, and they say that they are “going to bring a new audience to the casino floor.” They are planning on working the next 12 months testing the devices before releasing them to the general public.
