Ready Player One: Video Games and the Future of Online Casino Slots
The anticipation is finally over: Ready Player One, Steven Spielberg’s latest creation, was just released this past March 30th and its theatrical debut was a total and absolute hit. The movie is an adaptation of a 2011 best-selling sci-fi novel written by Earnest Cline and revolves around a virtual reality universe called OASIS located in a dystopian reality packed with more people that earth can handle and a lack of resources everywhere. The film mixes reality with science fiction – more specifically, video games. Which makes this a perfect movie for all online casino slot machine players. Allow us to further explain.
Ready Player One takes place almost 30 years in the future, where the real world is a not-so-happy place to inhabit and people are seeking refuge in a giant, intertwined online world called the OASIS. James Halliday is a fictional tech magnate that created this virtual world and when he died, he triggered an Easter Egg hunt that’s truly the center of Ready Player One's main story. Fans of the OASIS must solve puzzles and pick clues along the way based on ‘80s pop culture and video games. In return, the winner will get to collect the grand prize: total control of the OASIS.
Mix all of this with classic '80s arcade video games plus a huge amount of pop culture references scattered throughout the film and you’ve got one of the most interesting movies made in recent times. In the last few years, we’ve had a flood of slot machine games based on movie plots with fan favorite slots like Eagle Shadow Fist, The Three Stooges and Ritchie Valens La Bamba and it wouldn’t come as a surprise if in the near future we see a slot game paying tribute to Ready Player One. It’s certainly very exciting to think what the next generation of online slot machine games could look like. Stay tuned, you don’t want to miss it.

Apple has lately announced the release of their newest device: the iPhone X (or iPhone 10). Available in stores beginning November 3rd, this new phone is being called the future of the smartphone that presents itself in a beautiful full -glass design with a stunning 5.8-inch Super Retina display,
A11 Bionic chip, wireless charging and an better-quality rear camera with dual optical image stabilization. What will this all mean for the future of online casino gambling and will it improve the overall experience for Uptown Aces players? What we know so far is that the price of this new phone will be a whopping $999 and comes with a variety of groundbreaking features such as all-screen display, face recognition, augmented reality technology and more than ten ‘Animojis’, emojis that are able to mimic the users’ facial expressions.
Moreover, the iPhone X delivers a pioneering and secure new way for users to unlock, authenticate and pay via Face ID, empowered by the new TrueDepth camera. As with every other iPhone, including the recently released iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, the iPhone X offers significantly improved specs such as a resolution of 2436×1125 pixels, HDR (high dynamic range) display and has a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Moreover, the A11 Bionic chip and six-core processor powers the phone’s augmented reality technology, and this will certainly have a huge impact on online casino games allowing for Uptown Aces slots to run even more smoothly on this mobile device. Undoubtedly, the iPhone X will push the boundaries of smartphone gameplay to an even higher level and smoother overall gameplay. It is also quite possible that since the iPhone X is a faster device, it will also better the live dealer casino experience via mobile networks.
The future is certainly here – and if you don’t quite agree with this statement, then it means you’re not up to date with the term “Augmented reality”. AR is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world and provides a composite view. This augmented reality revolution is about to be taken to an even farther level with Apple’s new augmented reality platform (ARKit) that should have online casino gamers feeling more than excited. Let me tell you why!
ARKit allows for developers to build AR apps that integrate digital experiences into the physical world via your iPhone or iPad. Think about what this could mean for the online gaming audience. These apps will be available to users with the arrival of iOS 11 arrives in September.
By making AR available to millions of iPhone users, Apple is likely to become the number 1 source of augmented reality apps in the world. Thus, by opening its developers’ kit, it will generate millions of potential ideas that will undoubtedly reach the online gaming industry and possibly create experiments with players being able to enjoy their favorite games in an AR environment.
Apple has promised that AR is bound to take users to a whole new parallel universe and turn their iPhone or iPad into “a lens into a virtual world.” Compared to what we have now going on, we can rest assured that the future promises to be more than exciting.
Undoubtedly, the release of the new iPhone 8 will change everything we think we know about casino gaming. Radical alterations to the mobile device we already love will make spinning the reels of your favorite Uptown Aces games even more exciting than before.
Holding this new smartphone in your hands and manipulating it to your liking is bound to get much easier. The latest leak has revealed the new iPhone 8 display will shift to an elongated 18.5:9 aspect ratio, just like LG’s G6 and Samsung’s Galaxy S8. This new format gives manufacturers the chance to increase the size of the device’s display while at the same time keeping it sufficiently narrow to be held one-handed and still have a super comfortable keyboard use. Now, that makes for awesome Uptown Aces online gaming sessions!
Of course, the size and shape of the new iPhone 8 aren’t the only changes to come. The new version of the popular gadget will no longer feature a home button and will allow for wireless charging. Moreover, it will have the Touch ID fingerprint recognition embedded within the display. This new mobile phone will come with invisible infrared image sensors in hopes of improving the functionality of the high-pixel camera and also enable AR applications.
Coming out later this year, the new iPhone 8 will certainly revolutionize your mobile online casino experience all around and we’re sure will become a favorite amongst the iOS community and perhaps even grab the attention of Android players.
