AI in Gambling: how it affects players and developers?

Welcome to 2023, when the world is completely crazy about AI. People have been divided into two camps — some enthusiastically turn codes into full apps using ChatGPT, while others fear the fast destruction of humanity as a species.

The gambling industry is no exception — AI becomes a full-fledged participant both in the games themselves and in their development.

Certainly we could adhere to one of the opinions "for or against neural networks in gambling", but instead we decided to conduct a study and figure out:
👉🏻 how neural networks are already being used in casinos
👉🏻 what AI is capable of in developing slots
👉🏻 if the development of AI in gambling is dangerous

How We Use Neural Networks in Casinos Now

Has the riot of machines already begun? Sure, it happened a long time ago. AI has gently entered our gambling lives and the range of its applied tasks is already huge. Here's how people use its power in casinos right now:

🧐 AI analyzes your behavior in the casino

Some casinos use this to personalize the recommendation feed for you — just like on Instagram or TikTok. Spending 5 hours a day on slots? The algorithm understands it and you see more of your favorite Hold'n'Wins and Books on the main page.

🤑 AI helps you win

Do you think that artificial intelligence wants to deceive you? On the contrary! It provides an equal chance of winning for all players.

🗣️ AI communicates with you

Let's unveil the mystery: chatbots are also artificial intelligence. Sometimes they can help you find answers much faster than casino operators.

🤖 AI fights scammers

The technology is very sensitive to the player’s behavior on the platform. If AI sees suspicious actions, it blocks the violator or bot.

What is AI capable of in slot development?

Neural networks provide analytics, paint pictures, and ...develop games? Yes, for now these are test quests, but in some matters artificial intelligence can give odds to scriptwriters, artists and programmers.

Let's imagine that we want to create a cyberpunk-themed slot. Here are some tasks that can be already delegated to a machine at the moment:

✍🏻 AI as a scriptwriter

We haven't yet seen a slot where the script is fully written by AI. But that doesn't mean it is not able to do it. Now neural networks can generate meaningful texts and even novels, styling them according to the desired criteria.

We asked GPT Chat to generate a script for a cyberpunk-themed slot and it’s an excerpt from what it came up with:

“[The screen flickers to life, revealing a dark and gritty cityscape filled with neon signs and holographic advertisements. The sound of blaring sirens and distant explosions can be heard in the background.]

Voiceover: Welcome to the future of online gambling. This is where the real action is, chummer. Our advanced AI-powered slot machine is unlike anything you've ever seen.

[The camera zooms in on the online slot machine, which features futuristic symbols and flashing lights.]”

Sounds good, doesn't it? Yes, it needs to be edited — but the texts created by a person go the same way. Even if now the neural network needs a human teacher, let's see what will happen in the near future.

👩‍🎨 AI as an artist

The glory of neural networks-artists thunders all over the Internet. Let’s recall Midjourney that gets a lot of accolades. This AI is able to create amazing drawings from textual descriptions, generate fresh ideas and improve the quality of images.

Can it replace artists? Artisans, but not talented creators. But just for now ;)

We continue to upgrade our cyberpunk-themed slot, and this is what MidJourney has generated for us on this theme. Pretty good base for our slot!

💡 AI as a game designer

If the visual and the text are easily generated substances, then the creation of game mechanics seems to be more difficult.

However, AI can be a great assistant to a game designer and take on some routine tasks — drawing up a concept document, creating descriptions and dialogues, etc. Saved time = more opportunities to generate cool ideas that will help bring people the joy of gaming.

So, we come up with a description for our cyberpunk slot using the GPT chat:

Are neural networks dangerous? Can they replace people in the industry?

Today no neural network is capable of completely replacing a person when creating games or enslaving a casino for its own purposes. The most realistic scenario is when AI will perform routine work for an employee or help a gambler during a game.

How AI will help players

👀 AI will help limit the time in the game or the sum of bets if a person has problems with gambling addiction
👀 AI can provide a unique gaming experience by adapting to the player's playstyle and behavior
👀 AI casino chatbots will learn in the process of communication and give players quick and useful advice on certain situations

How AI will help game developers

🧩 AI will provide developers predictions about player behavior, such as which games they are likely to play next or how much they are likely to spend
🧩 AI will be able to test casino games and identify potential issues before they are released to the public
🧩 AI will take over the solution of routine tasks and employees will have more time for the creative process

Well, the neural network can really put some people out of work, but at the same time it will create new jobs related to its development and maintenance.

We believe that if such a tool is used in the hands of a passionate team of like-minded people, the product will conquer people and give them joy.

Adapt, survive, change❤️‍🔥
