A Man's Home Is His Casino

As part of this week's tribute to Peter Tomarken, I'm sticking with games. It wasn't easy to find recent scoop about games on TV, but I unearthed something interesting.

If you live in New Jersey, Nevada or Mississippi, you'll be able to use
GameLogic's technology. What does GameLogic do? Here's what CEO Steven Kane had to say in the Q&A section on their website:
Our games essentially sit on top of an existing approved and installed game — like Keno. Players purchase PlayAway tickets at a licensed casino location. Later, they log on to the casino website, and using a special access code, enter GameLogic's Games Gallery to view their results. There, they enjoy unique, reveal-type PlayAction using themes from their favorite casino games. Then, they return to the casino to collect their winnings.
OK, so your home isn't really a casino. But your TV will be someday be your window into the casino. And somebody must be a believer — GameLogic raised $18.6 million dollars in Series B funding last month.

What's the scoop?

GameLogic applied for trademark protection for two new interactive games (reveals) about two weeks ago:
  • Texas Slide 'Em
  • Ten Pin Payout

It seems like Golden Palace is making a lot less headlines recently.
The last time I saw any mentioning of Golden Palace was in Rocky 6 as one of the girls that
hold the sign that indicate the number of round had their logo printed on her stomach.
This brand made “online gambling” a part of mainstream entertainment,
making it a recognizable brand name in almost any house hold in the US.
