How do you figure they were very good? They were

Had no experience in the slot machine or tables business and then developed a product for casinos without consulting the customers that would be buying their product.
Made a pacman clone that would have got them sued had it hit the market.
Developed the pinball game as a $100 minimum bet machine that would be placed in high limit card rooms and have to be attended to by an employee because there was going to be no bill validator on it. When that was laughed out of the realm of possibility, lowered the minimum stakes, but didn't know bill validators had to be leased on a monthly basis.
Wasted A LOT of money on 2 shows that their product was not even ready to display. The kat game burned up during one show and no casino management had any real interest in either show.
Played video games and smoked vapor cigarettes all day instead of working. When you are running a startup, you work. Many times 12-15 hours a day. You don't lounge around, go to buffets, draw a ridiculous salary, gamble, etc. You have to be single minded and focused on the very difficult task at hand. If you aren't, others are.
They had millions of dollars of investor money and blew it. Disgusting!
