Games of Chance and Wagering Are Becoming a Trend in AAA Video Games

Modern games are all about side quests and mini-games. These two elements increase the duration of a game and they give players the ability to avoid the monotony of doing the same thing for hours while playing a long-lasting video game. In recent years, video game developers have decided to add wagering or even a little bit of gambling in the mini-games they offer. By playing these games, the player gets the opportunity to increase their in-game funds, which can then be used for the purchase of weapons and armour, for the expansion of their settlement or to help NPCs who need a helping hand. These mini-games can offer a lot of gameplay hours no matter if you are playing because you need the profits during the game or if you are just playing them in order to have some fun.

In the case of game-of-chance mini-games, the money you make can only be used in the gaming environment. It is not money that you can cash out as if it were money that you made while playing games at a real money casino, and it is not money that you can use in order to buy expansions of the game, add-ons and other title extras requiring actual funds. We are talking about fictional funds that can be used in-game in order to buy supplies such as potions or gear. On the other hand, these mini-games can help you improve your skills so that you can then try similar casino games, which can potentially help you increase your bank account.

AC Valhalla’s Orlog – A Dice Game Worth its Own Gaming Audience

One of the most interesting mini-games in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is Orlog; a dice game that Eivor can play with numerous NPCs in various locations. Orlog has become so popular that game developers are making their own physical version of the dice game. Many Orlog fans have placed their order for the physical board game version, and this means that it might not be long before you start seeing friends getting together and playing Orlog just as if it were Monopoly. After all, it is not uncommon for video game side games to become extremely popular and to get their own audience. We have seen this with many Final Fantasy side games, we have seen it with Gwent; the Witcher side game, and we have seen it with Kakarot’s Card Warriors.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Is much more than just the Story of Goku

Bandai Namco Entertainment did great with the development of Kakarot, not only because they managed to produce an incredibly fun game, but also because they managed to capture the whole story of the Dragon Ball universe. Players can get around 100 hours of gameplay, exploring different planets and taking on powerful enemies. However, the highlight of the game has become one of its mini games. Card Warriors is a never-ending card game that can make you forget about the main game. Even though it is an optional game during Kakarot, players spend hundreds of hours challenging others from all over the world, enjoying a game similar to YuGiOh. Its popularity is increasing every day, especially in countries such as Japan, Korea and China. Seeing its ever-growing gaming audience, many players are saying that Card Warriors should have been a standalone game.
