Ask HN: Online Gambling + Oculus Rift

There has been a lot of motion lately by some of the large gambling players (not named Sheldon Adelson) to try to get online gambling legalized in the US, or at least push that direction. It's already legal in some other parts of the world of course.

Any opinions on the idea of marrying virtual reality, via Oculus Rift, up to online gambling, to create an immersive entertainment experience? Is anyone already attempting to do this? I'm picturing huge zones, ten times larger than Vegas' gambling areas (not the actual city), and much better looking (10 years out).

Surely if online gambling has a future, this is it, and I suspect it would be wildly lucrative.
