Ahigh! A great job on the games so far. Was wondering if casino kat was in uhd? Also wAs the nano system- can't remember which it is- that responds to button presses "instantly " used as well in kasino kat? Also, I had read some of your posts and responses on wizard of vegas and/or odds awhile ago, and people were constantly beating on you about the game being high limit. Have you brought others around to your way of thinking yet? Does the industry understand better now the betting system you all have designed and theory around skill based gaming or AP?
Response:
CasinoKat and Vegas2047 are both 1080p120 .. 120 frames are generated by the graphics card each second and the latency is very low. 4K technology has not advanced sufficiently to handle the stringent requirements from framerate and low latency required for hard-core video game play that we design.
CasinoKat was intended to be 4K at 120Hz. We actually went down the road for some time to deliver the game in UHD while still maintaining our stringent framerate and latency requirements. We could have completed this, but the cost would have been too high and we aborted after projecting out the costs further.
The real deciding factor was that these 4K panels are generally only in the high-performance range when you up to 55" and larger and we wanted a smaller screen for this game.
CasinoKat requires a less expensive IO board that is only accurate to the nearest millisecond. The game is compatible with lower latency IO but it is unnecessary for this game and a lower cost solution was used.
As far as bringing people on board for higher limit gambling, part of what we did this year with CasinoKat was to show and offer lower bet denominations and to visually SHOW why players are encouraged to bet higher limits.
This was absolutely well-received and it is still the case that there are folks who don't believe the high limit action will come, but their percentages dropped from 90% last year to somewhere around 60-80%. So that's a good sign. But in every case where there is skepticism among operators they are totally fine to just watch and see what happens and take smaller bets in the meantime.
It is truly the graph on CasinoKat and the ability to actually explain how the math model works more effectively that has had the biggest impact on more people having the light-bulb moment where they understand the math model.
Thanks for the AWESOME questions. Now _that_ is an investor who wants to see more detail for the future right there folks!
