Another instance of how VR have altered people’s lives are the impressive graphics and life-like feeling that many establishments now use to create the ultimate online, yet real to the touch, experiences. Casinos are one of the leading establishments who have managed to re-create the experience to a tee: from sitting down at a table to play around of roulette, playing the slots, too pulling the bandit-machines arm and hearing the sound of coins clinking in the jackpot slot.
