Artificial intelligence in the online gaming industry: how it is implemented and works.

The most useful AI class is machine learning. The computer recognizes human speech, images, memorizes data, makes forecasts based on them and calculates ways to solve the situation. With the transition of gambling on the Web, the number of users is increasing daily, and thus the array of processed data.

Primitive online slot machine is served by a whole staff of employees. This is not profitable, deprives the owner of part of the profit and leads to unreasonable risks. Thus AI will cope with work of all personnel more qualitatively, faster, and software cost will cost in times cheaper than salary expenses.

In Internet gaming AI is actively used for such tasks:

  • answers to user questions. Chat-bot is economical and efficient. It is tuned for positive resolution of conflict with the client. Any inappropriate behavior will not cause a reaction from the computer, it will continue to provide information and finish the chat on a friendly note;
  • attracting and retaining users. The system collects information from users and highlights behavioral patterns and preferences. Depending on the increase or decrease in activity, it predicts the next step and offers the client creativity or a bonus that will stimulate interest in the game;
  • the computer creates a forecast of the possible income of the user and pulls up only the options available in the budget. So the user stays on the service longer and does not spend all his money in one game;
  • budget savings. For small and medium businesses it is unprofitable to hire a staff of specialists who will engage in the development of the platform. In this case, the cost of AI software pays off for several months.

The computer also takes into account the location, the gadget on which the slot machine is played, the time and duration of user activity on the Web. So the algorithm provides the highest individual conversion, brings more income and improves the quality of service for each client. In this case, data remains isolated and protected from third parties and fraudulent activity.

The algorithms are used to simulate a live game with an opponent. Bot casino and poker with bots are popular among beginners and amateurs who are gaining gambling skills. The system is programmed for zero profit. Neural networks calculate the move of an opponent, take into account his reaction, make realistic pauses before the next move. Behavior and strategy of the real player is taken into account at every next game.

A living employee can control simultaneously just a couple of processes, while AI systems continuously collect data and record the slightest deviation from the usual algorithm of users’ actions.

Below are the AI functions that have made online gambling a safe entertainment for all participants:

  1. Analysis of the cheater’s actions taking into account all previous cases of cheating on the Web. AI acts according to the prescribed rules and customizes the situation for a specific case. This helps plan the most effective actions to prevent fraud.
  2. Rapid response in real time. In less than a second, the computer recognizes the scanner attack and launches the protection protocols. This helps gambling platforms to protect gamblers’ money and avoid claims for damages incurred in the game.
  3. AI is widely used to identify users on the Web. Two- / three-stage system of recognition of the player can protect his account from interference from third parties. It also helps reduce the number of bots that are created by a person to increase his or her chances of winning.
  4. Analytical skills. The system independently collects and studies data from the entire Network. Based on the analytics, it identifies the most vulnerable areas for attack by scammers and sets up barriers.
  5. Financial risk assessment. The system sets alarm thresholds and does not force the user to pass several levels of verification without necessity. For example, a gamer can buy a certain amount of coins or attributes of the game that are necessary at this stage. But if their number is disproportionate to the needs or significantly above the norm, the AI blocks the transaction until the fraud check is complete.

During the period of active implementation of AI in online gaming the number of fraud cases decreased. But here are a few unique schemes of cheating, which managed to convince players at different times in the gambling industry.
