New gaming formats: split games, multi-screens
New gaming formats: split games, multi-screens (under the section "The future of online gambling in Australia")
Context: single screen to multitasking
Classic online gambling was built around one screen: a slot or bet occupied all the player's attention. However, the growth of mobile technology, the development of streaming content and the habit of multitasking have led to the transformation of gaming UX. A modern user simultaneously watches sports, plays a slot and conducts correspondence - and the industry is adapting to this reality.
Split games: parallel scenarios
What is it: a format where several game processes are launched on one screen at the same time - for example, two slots or a slot + roulette.
Features:
Technologies:
Multi-screens: integration with live content
What is it: the player uses several screens or interface segments: for example, a sports match is broadcast in one window, live betting in the second, and chat in the third.

Regulatory measurement
Responsible play. With split and multi-screen formats, the introduction of additional limiters is required: betting limits for the session, notifications about the time in the game, automatic pauses.
Transparency. Operators are required to ensure the same visibility of all coefficients and rules, regardless of the number of screens.
NCPF compatibility. All new formats must be built into the national consumer protection system: BetStop, credit card ban, KYC before registration.
Economic effect
For operators: income growth due to increased player activity and monetization of media streams.
For users: a more dynamic and "lively" experience that combines play and social interaction.
For the market: creating a competitive advantage for those platforms that can offer safe and technological multi-format solutions.
Australia Trajectory 2025-2027
Mass introduction of split slots and combined live games.
Increasing use of multi-screen interfaces in sports betting.
The advent of hybrid products: game + stream + VR rooms.
Increased control with mandatory inclusion of responsible gambling modules in each multi-screen configuration.
Bottom line:

Split games: parallel scenarios
What is it: a format where several game processes are launched on one screen at the same time - for example, two slots or a slot + roulette.
Features:
- Instant change of context. The player can alternate games without leaving the interface.
- Increased engagement. Simultaneous rates increase the activity and speed of funds turnover.
- Risks. The load on cognitive perception increases, which can increase game dependence.
Technologies:
- Adaptive UI optimized for mobile devices.
- Automation of calculations and visualization of several game processes at once without lags.
Multi-screens: integration with live content
What is it: the player uses several screens or interface segments: for example, a sports match is broadcast in one window, live betting in the second, and chat in the third.
Features:
- Synchronization with real events. Video streaming and betting are linked in real time.
- Social factor. Chats and streams create a "collective game" effect.
- Commercial value. The ability to sell additional advertising slots within the multi-screen.
Technologies:
- Low-patent streaming protocols.
- Modular interfaces that allow you to customize the number of screens.
- API integration with media platforms.

Bottom line:
- Split games and multi-screens are becoming integral to the future of online gambling in Australia. They make the process more dynamic and social, but require strict control over responsibility and transparency. Those operators who can combine innovative UX with stringent security standards will take a leading position in the new digital ecosystem.
