Cloud gaming is the process commonly applied not only in ordinary gaming products but slot machines too. If you go to the Vulkan Bet login page and access your account, you will find that all casino titles work in the cloud. In this article, we will discuss the concept of cloud gaming, why it is used, and if it is the future of video games.

What Is Cloud Gaming?

This term refers to games where a server processes all the information that happens when playing and transmits that information to the player instantaneously. You no longer need to install the game on your computer or mobile device.

 

A good example is a slot machine that one can play via your browser. When you launch the game, you can play it without installing it on your device. Every click you make gets transmitted to the server. The server processes that information, and you get a result. 

 

It is called a cloud because it is accessible by any person (unless the country is blocked) anywhere. A literal cloud can be seen by two people in different locations or cities. A cloud server, on the other hand, can be accessed by the same person in different locations.

 

In some systems, a user may still be required to install the game. A good example of this is Counter-Strike. So, how does this work? Here are the steps:

 

  • You click on your mouse and fire your gun to hit somebody (another player);
  • The cloud server processes this information; for example, you hit the enemy;
  • The server disperses this information to you and the other players;
  • The enemy who got shot gets a health reduction.

 

As you can see, all these are processed on the server, not your computer. This is how cloud-gaming works. 

Benefits of Cloud Gaming

This technology is becoming the new standard. It offers so many benefits, which are discussed below. 

1. Accessibility

Cloud-based is easily accessible. All it takes for a player to play is a device. The player no longer has to buy a CD.

 

In the past, one has to go to a special store and buy a copy of the game. If it wasn’t available, this player had no other option but to wait for the game to be restocked. With cloud technologies, the player only has to go to a website, like Steam, and download or even play without installing the game. 

2. Scalability

Cloud games are easy to scale. It means that they are easy to grow. Just imagine a game that has suffered. If the servers are full, the developer only has to buy more servers to cater to the new players. 

 

In addition, the developer can also patch updates and implement them for players worldwide. The players do not have to buy a new copy of the title. They just need to update what is installed on their PC. If the game is 100% cloud-based, like a slot machine, players do not even have to reinstall anything. 

3. Reduced Cost

Cloud game developers no longer need to pay for shelf space in physical gaming stores. They only need to work with influencers and advertisers.

 

In addition to the reduction of marketing costs, the actuarial game itself is not expensive to distribute and produce. In the past, the game developer had to “print” or manufacture copies in discs. This process is costly and needs capital.

 

With cloud gaming, the only essential cost is the development process itself. From here, the developer merely stores and operates the game from a server.

4. Cross-Platform Compatibility

Cloud-gaming is also easy to distribute on different platforms. The best example of this is a cloud-based slot machine that runs on a computer browser. It does not matter if the payer is using a tablet, phone, or PC. This game would run for as long as there is an internet connection.

5. Security

It is not unusual for people in the past to pirate games. Piracy causes a huge financial loss to the company. People will always find a way to pirate. With cloud gaming, enterprising criminals cannot access the games. They cannot make copies. Even if they could, they cannot operate it.   

 

Cloud-gaming makes a gaming product secure and profitable. Since nobody can pirate it, the developer has a better chance of making profits than the traditional way of manufacturing a disc.

 

We can indeed say that cloud gaming is the future, not only in gambling but in the contemporary gaming industry. The technology allows for a better gaming experience as it reduces the risk of cheating and also makes it possible to connect players from different parts of the world.
