Artificial intelligence in gambling business. What are the chances of winning?
Artificial intelligence has struck roots in many technical and life aspects. It seems that even ads on gaming apps know what we need better than we do.
None of us are surprised that gambling has long shifted to the Internet; it is logical and clear. However, only the chosen ones have come up with an idea of integrating artificial intelligence into the gambling industry. Well, let’s examine this concept.
Casino with neural brain. But dealer is virtual!
Back in 1962, artificial intelligence defeated the best American checkers player, Robert Nealey, racking its neural brain and learning during the game. Everyone went “wow”. Besides, we keep surprising even now. What breakthrough technologies have achieved!
It is no wonder that gambling business people have taken interest in high-tech solutions. Currently, they are actively cooperating with software developers. Seamlessly developed software will be able to go through all the information about the most popular games, reveal what slots are most profitable, analyze players’ behavior, and offer ways of communication with them. The concept is simple: the IT specialist writes a program, the software starts operating, players put money into entertainment, and gambling tycoons fatten their pockets.
Day by day, the electronic brain becomes smarter and smarter. It monitors gamblers’ behavior tactics and preferences. If you like match-three games, you will see Jewel Quest or Zuma ads. Bettors will be informed of certain bets. The activity at different times of day is also tracked. Therefore, night or morning people will receive bonuses according to their daily routine when entering a casino website or enjoying an app.
It’s no secret that AI is able to model human behavior. Sometimes virtual croupiers or dealers are so realistic that players can forget about being interacting with an imitation. By the way, Philip Fry considered Bender his friend.
Blackleg, you shall not pass!
Special software programs shut the door on players trying to swindle and avid betting cheaters. A human operator may not see or understand immediately that there is something wrong with your bets. But you will fail to deceive such a software as it catches on any kind of strange activities. Hey, cheaters, look for easy money somewhere else.
Good gambler, bad gambler
What about honesty of dealers and gamblers? What if they adjust software so that the first successful spin will be followed by the loosing ones? They will be justified by big words like ‘optimization’, and you’ll get nothing out of them.
The Guardian desperately blows about the application of artificial intelligence for nefarious purposes. Dishonest gamblers explore consumers’ habits and can cause addiction among the most vulnerable players thinking in the following way: “Unlucky in love, perhaps lucky in money. So why not place some bets?”
One can easily get addicted to the idea of striking it rich. Afterwards, novice gambling addicts or unlucky experienced players will lose their shirts. Tricky operators will always find an access to phone number and email storages, which is a huge space for selecting new clients. Someone or other will try to play the Russian roulette…
Nevertheless, we believe in the humankind. Despite everything, even omnipresent AI. There are websites and apps with more or less transparent software operation. Some Internet sources assert that a lot of gamblers fight against problem gambling. Their systems warn operators of possible gambling addicts, while some types of software impose restrictions or even ban obsessive high rollers.
Trust but Verify!
Despite the fact that the state is trying to regulate online gambling, one frequently launches unfair websites that not only fail to comply with the legislative requirements but also integrate artificial intelligence aimed at reducing players’ winnings. After making a fast buck, such resources disappear from the Internet.
To sum up, do everything carefully. If you want to satisfy your passion for online entertainments, do it. But do not go by your gut. Prior to placing a bet or beginning to spin, check the casino’s license (its availability is obligatory!). Honest gamblers use AI in order not to decrease the frequency of winnings but to attract customers by various means, including advertising, bonuses, or special offers. A single-shot benefit is not for fair businesses. Stay alert, friends!
