In addition to being a hub for hundreds of casino-style games online, SlotsMillion is hoping to take the lead when it comes to the future of gaming and gambling. For months, the online gambling company has been hard at work creating a virtual reality experience, helping to make the SlotsMillion casino feel more tangible.
The virtual SlotsMillion casino exists atop a skyscraper in a futuristic world. As well as being able to play a number of games, players can look out the glass windows of the building and mingle with other users at the bar.
In developing the environment, SlotsMillion worked closely with its local licensing jurisdiction to ensure the experience met the strict regulations for gambling. While having clocks on the walls is not common in many physical casinos, they are installed in this environment so that players don't lose themselves completely in the virtual world.
