VR allows the casino experience become a personalized immersion
Implications - There has always been a very distinct divide between physical and online casinos due to the lack of atmosphere only available in the brick and mortar setting. With the utilization of VR, brands now have the ability to bridge that gap by creating immersive experiences targeting specific audiences.

This is driven not only by a desire for novelty and excitement but more importantly, by a desire to feel a sense of escape from the everyday.
