Since the dawn of the internet, online casinos have constantly strived to replicate the immersive, thrilling atmosphere of a physical gambling floor.

• The social aspect is heavily reminiscent of popular metaverses like VRChat
• Dealers can be heavily scripted AI or actual humans using motion capture suits

Many players also experience "VR sickness" or intense motion sickness when navigating these environments for extended periods.
