Online gambling is quite a niche market in the gaming world. Online casino games are never associated with other popular forms of gaming, such as MMOs – but one developer is hoping to change this. eGenesis’ new Massively Multiplayer Online title, Dragon’s Tale, will be the first to merge online gambling with more traditional forms of online gaming. Dragon’s Tale is an online multiplayer role-playing game.

If you’re not familiar with any of these terms, just think of World of Warcraft. Players assume the roles of fictional characters and venture out on exciting journeys. In Dragon’s Tale, players can take part in many different mini-games, including cow-tipping, fishing and gardening. Some of the mini games allow players to gamble, placing real-money wagers on casino-style games.

“I've taken what I've learned in the last 15 years building MMORPGs and for the first time applied that to gambling,” says creator Andrew Tepper. “I've created an intensely social world where players can explore the game world together, share techniques, and rely on each other as they level up by completing gambling quests”. In order to gamble, players must purchase online credits called BitCoin.

Players can buy BitCoins using a wide range of deposit methods which are commonly used at online casinos. The credits can be used to wager on the games, and winnings can be cashed out instantly. It is a unique approach to both MMOs and online gambling. While it will take a while for players to get used to the platform, there is the potential for Dragon’s Tale to start a new trend in the industry.

No other developer has attempted to combine these platforms before, and there is the chance that this could be the beginning of something new and exciting in the world of online gambling.
