Gaming Chairs have come a long way in the past few years. They used to be the preserve of a select few, but now due to their competitive pricing and various makes and models have started to permeate into the general public, and be used by your average Joe.

But what exactly are gaming chairs and why should I buy one if I am not a hard-core gamer?

Gaming Chairs are basically chairs/seats that have been designed and developed to enhance your gaming experience. For ease of reading we have devided this article into sections for Descriptions, Brands, and Other Uses.

Description

Although gaming chairs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and specs, they all basically have the same core elements and then differ as you move up and down the price rage.

They are made to be extremely comfortable, with extra soft padding, breathable mesh lining and a movable head rest. Some of the top end chairs, like the X Rocker Deluxe, actually look like a lazy boy, with leather look vinyl.

Some of the coolest ones are actually the PM Series Pyramat Gaming Chairs, which are like a rocker that sits on the floor. They support your back and provide a great gaming position for hours of game play.

In terms of technology these chairs are really loaded. We’re talking about multiple surround sound speakers, huge subwoofers, wireless connection to gaming consoles, rechargeable batteries, ipod/mp3 audio imput, multiplayer audio outputs, ipod docking stations, and headphone jacks.

Of course you will not find all of these features on all of the gaming chairs. The ones that you will not get at the lower end of the price bracket will include: wireless, rechargeable. Headphone jacks and docking stations.

However this should not put you off, and if you are a beginner gaming by all means start off with these.

The top end gaming chairs, like the Pyramat PM450WR are made for advanced gamers, and are as such quite pricy, so don’t feel the need to get these if you are just starting out.

Gaming Chair Brands

There are various brand of gaming chairs currently available. The technology is quite similar, with the main difference being the actual design of them.

The first brand is Pyramat. Pyramat have a number of different models, which are the pm series, the s series, the gamebags and the pc gaming chairs.

The most popular models are the pm450, the pm400, the pc gaming chair and the gamebag 2.1

They chairs are similar in design to rocker chairs, that sit on the floor and look quite future age and ergonomical.

The second brand is SlouchPods. Slouchpods are do not have as much technology as Pyramat Gaming Chairs have, but they are still quite advanced. Their design is similar to funky bean-bags with an upright backing.

Playseats are mainly designed for car games. They have a racing look and feel, and some even come with pedals. These are recommended, but only if you mainly or only play racing games.

X Rockers

X Rockers, of which there are two models, are basically very high-end gaming chairs. They look like Lazy Boys, and are convered in Leather-like Vinyl. They have an extremely high spec, but are equally very expensive. These would only be recommended for the older advanced gamer, who wants a little more sophistication in his gaming room.

Other uses of gaming chairs.

Due to their designs and technology, gaming chairs no longer only get used for this primary purpose. They are equally at home being used to watch movies (surround sound adds that cinema experience), listen to music and generally relax. Never under estimate the importance of an extremely comfortable chair, with technology pouring out from it.

As a fanatic blackjack player I have been playing at different online casinos. Off course it is nice to see that some casinos try to represent the real life blackjack card game. However for me this is not the most important aspect. I am playing online to have the convenience of my living room and flexibility and speed which you can not find in brick and mortar casinos.

Next to some slots and craps I usually play blackjack only. A friend of mine directed me to Noble Casino. This is a fairly new casino, I think they became operational in 2009, but they are very professional. Because my friend referred me to Noble Casino we both received a special referral bonus I could use at the Blackjack tables right away.

My first blackjack games at Noble Casino did not go as planned, I was not adjusted to the Noble Casino interface and therefore clicked wrong a few times which cost me a couple of dollars. But within 10 minutes I got really used to Noble Casino and I started to appreciate to software very much. The interface is quick and clear and the important buttons are presented larger than less important buttons. As soon as I was really acquainted with the software I decided to try my luck and I moved to the higher limit blackjack tables.

From the lobby it was very easy to browse through the different limits and I soon arrived at the $10 blackjack tables. In the meantime my computer was giving me messages I needed to make a backup which I decided to postpone for 1 hour. Back in Noble Casino I had to make my first bets before the dealer could start dealing the cards. My first hand started out with an eight and a three, a perfect start! With the dealer also hitting an ace I was determined to hitting blackjack right away. With a nine as my third card I celebrated a bit inside but I was not safe yet. The dealer slowly turned over his card, it was a five, he therefore decided (automatically) to hit another card, this time it was an eight and dealer was bust! I made $10 profit in my first hand at these limits, and I started to like it!

I ended up playing for three straight hours at the blackjack tables of Noble Casino, it was really exciting and even though I had some ups and downs I ended up with a small profit (just over $500) which I kept in my account for the next day.

Playing blackjack at Noble Casino was really giving me the excitement a casino should provide. It was a clear and nicely designed interface which definitely met up to all my expectations. A few weeks later I suddenly received an email from Noble Casino giving me a reload bonus if I decided to come back to the blackjack tables, what a very nice way to treat your customers!

Looking back Noble Casino is definitely a great casino to play games and especially blackjack.

When you want some fun at a casino Lawton, Oklahoma is the place to go. Within a few minutes of downtown Lawton you can find no less than five casinos, each offering its own unique gaming and entertainment experience. You can’t beat Lawton when you’re looking for an Oklahoma casino.

Visiting a casino in Oklahoma promises to be an exhilarating, and enjoyable experience. One casino in Oklahoma that offers over 1,500 electronic games has surreptitiously replaced the saloons of years gone by with the rye whiskey and cowboys playing cutthroat poker. Players can tempt fate and risk their cash at the professionally operated speculative games in cards or take a chance at the roulette wheel.

Most of the Native American operated casinos are self declared as the “best casino in Oklahoma”; owners include members of the Comanche, Apache, and other tribes. These casinos, nestled on the sandy prairies among the tumble weeds and cactus are immersed in Southwestern influence and ambiance offer state of the art facilities, luxury high rise hotels, with five star restaurants, and amenities. Some casino locations in Oklahoma have an oilfield theme; they are located among pumping oil derricks and cater to oilfield workers who invest their wages for the chance of a lifetime, winning a million dollar jackpot.

Anyone eighteen and over can challenge lady luck at the gaming tables and experience the suspense of the high stakes; the highest win reported in a casino in Oklahoma is 1.6 million dollars. Bingo and the slots are also available for the more conservative gambler. The casinos operate twenty-four hours a day and the pendulum of luck is as unpredictable and fickle as the winds of the infamous Oklahoma dust storms.

Planning a vacation to Oklahoma casinos and resorts opens you up to and endless sea of possibilities.

We tested the VisionRacer Gaming Seats (VR3’s) we bought head-to-head in our Demonstration Centre over the past 2 months so we can give an honest review of the system and experience, and we had a hard time keeping the staff off them! This ‘gaming revolution’ isn’t just another gaming chair, or gaming rocker – its the high end of gaming systems for the ultimate experience, combining playability and realism. This is a steep change from the focus on graphics, to experience.

To really test the system, we installed the Logitech G25 steering wheel which delivers the ultimate in force feedback, and if you combine that with a good set of speakers to deliver the bass, then you have the ultimate machine. As far a price goes, the VR3 list price is expensive – but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Gaming Rockers are fantastic, and a great laugh at the same time – but VisionRacer has the edge. We installed a Samsung 24″ with HDMI – and the screen and visuals matched well with the steering wheel and Logitech speakers. You can go for cheaper screens and speakers, although if you are investing in the VR3 Rig – the price increase is nominal. To get the most out of the system don’t for less than a 24″ LCD Screen and some reasonably priced speakers to get the desired effect – otherwise you’ll be devaluing the investment. It’s times like this where professional consultancy and installation has to be considered to get the most out of the system.

We also found that after several hours playing (seriously we couldn’t get off it), that we weren’t in discomfort. The VisionRacer is sturdy and comfortable, whilst realistic at the same time. Its obvious a lot of effort has gone into the design phase here, providing a solid ergonomically correct chair.

Overall, the car seat combined with gear shift control and force feed back gave this gaming seat the thumbs up by everyone who tested it.

The VisionRacer is currently under testing in a 3 Screen PC configuration running the G25 steering wheel (which is PC & PS3 Compatible). The steering wheel compatibility is important because hardware on the PC can be upgraded more easily than that of PS3’s – although its your choice at the end of the day.

If you have young children, you’ll need a couple of cushions to shift them forward, though in all honesty, this isn’t a game for young children at this expense, its a serious investment for the die hard gamers.

In summary, the VR3 is best of breed as far as gaming seats go. The VisionRacer will do the Racing Game industry, what the Wii did to Console Games…its all good.
