The software behind casino algorithms continue to be some of the most advanced and sophisticated software within tech spheres.
Casino games remain some of the most popular forms of online betting, with the number of players increasing year upon year. Over 98% of UK adults now have access to the internet so it should not come as a surprise that the number of adults playing casino games or placing sports bets online is growing.
Sports betting is the biggest sector in the UK - likely due to the popularity and appeal of the Premier League - followed closely by online casino games, Poker and then Bingo. Where casino games are concerned, the most played of these are online slot games.
For a long time, online casinos were working hard to optimise their app technology in order to ensure that the most technologically advanced slot games would run smoothly on their apps.
Slots in particular continue to evolve at an accelerated rate to the extent that they are absolutely nothing like the old-fashioned slot machines we probably usually think about.
At the same time that slot games are becoming more advanced, they are also becoming easier to design and make and require less resources to set up. There are now hundreds of different online slots software companies from giants such as NetEnt and NoLimit City to newer start-ups such as Ukrainian software company Spinorium which creates slot games without having to use any code.
Such is the number of new slot games being created on a daily basis, online casinos are adding new slots to their libraries every day. This is great news for players because it does mean that they will always have new slots to play.
We already know that some software developers have begun using AI in order to help their developers to build slot games quicker and it will not surprise us if we are not far away from AI being able to produce every aspect of a slot from its characteristics and gameplay to its theme and soundtrack.
This would certainly witness job losses for lots of developers and technicians whilst the companies themselves will witness rising revenue because the AI will do everything whilst costing a fraction of the price.
Of course, we would hope that this does not happen but by law and as Geoffrey Hinton, the so called Godfather of AI said on The Diary of a CEO podcast, companies have a duty to shareholders to make as much money as possible - if that means increased profits at the expense of job losses then that is what will happen.

Apps and Casino Slot Machines
Casino apps are literally just one tap of a smart screen away. The majority of casinos now have their own apps which are instantly downloadable on a mobile phone or any smart device.For a long time, online casinos were working hard to optimise their app technology in order to ensure that the most technologically advanced slot games would run smoothly on their apps.

Artificial Intelligence in Casino Games and Betting
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will certainly have an impact on the online gambling industry, we just do not know to what extent yet.We already know that some software developers have begun using AI in order to help their developers to build slot games quicker and it will not surprise us if we are not far away from AI being able to produce every aspect of a slot from its characteristics and gameplay to its theme and soundtrack.
