The metaverse is a cyberspace powered by blockchain technology. People can visit it in the body of a digital avatar and explore it in first-person perspective using Virtual Reality (VR) technology. Everything in this world is non-fungible tokens (NFTs) minted to create the building blocks of intractable objects.

Casino gaming is constantly evolving throughout the years driven by the need to make its experience more accessible to players of all kinds. It started with games that were exclusive to nobles then they became available in the streets. Casinos were later built overseas to create an entertainment hub for all gamblers alike and then slot machines were introduced to bars.

Online gambling is the most recent venture for casinos where it became available to everyone through the internet. It made games accessible but not the full experience one can find on a gaming floor. That is the role the metaverse can fulfil. Casinos can build their gaming venues on Web3, making it accessible to everyone using VR technology.

As of 2023, there are only a handful of metaverse casinos that are live and ready. Most are slated to launch in 2024 but some provide beta access to customers. Here are some examples of the most notable metaverse casinos right now:

BC.GAME purchased a Sandbox LAND NFT in 2021, marking the start of their metaverse casino project. This venue is still under construction but BC.GAME is working with Web3 tools for its casino site. They have established channels for ERC20 and ERC72 transactions which can help in future transition to the metaverse.

ICE Poker launched in 2021 and their venue can be found in Decentraland. The casino is still under development but users can enter it. Only poker tables are available in the casino right now where you can stake using ETH, Decentraland tokens (MANA), and ICE tokens (ICE).

Chateau Satoshi is also in Decentraland but it is older as it launched in 2019. As of 2023, they are also under construction. They have more games planned in the future but the only ones available at the moment are poker tables from ICE Poker. You can also use ETH, MANA, and ICE to play at Chateau Satoshi.
