Virtual Sports
Virtual Sports (VS) is an evolution of fantasy sports that incorporates modern gaming capabilities with high quality graphics, reproducing a sports event in a very realistic gameplay. VS derive their baseline data from real sports events, associating them with odds betting, exactly as it happens on all sporting events in sportsbook.
However, although they resemble real sportsbook events that are considered as skill games, they are technically classified as games of pure chance like casino games. This happens because their gameplay engine, although processing the input information from real sports stats, is generating the results absolutely randomly (Random Number Generator – RNG), making the end result as a purely random output of a software product, rather than a real outcome.
Variety of VS Games
There is a great offering of Virtual Sports games; football is by far the most popular one, but there is also a wide variety of other sports, such as tennis, basketball, hockey, speedway, horse racing, cycling, greyhounds and more. Most VS games have a duration of a few minutes (typically 5’) and reproduce a sporting event in which bettors can place their bets before its start, as in a real pre-live sportsbook event.
