I am not 100% sure what to make of it. Are we going to , like compets have integration of EU with a live casino with peds being used for casino as well?

Interesting times I would say :) Feel free to discuss

 
"fully independant of EU using a separate economy and user account database"

:thumbup:
 
shit,now i get scared
where i live casinowinnings are taxable with 29%
i dont want my government to get 29% of my hardearned pedswithdrawals
 
I always thought someone would do this sooner or later :)
Great for EU as a whole for sure.
 
I get more respect for the new MA CEO every day!

I mean, i don't care about casinos myself, and how this partnership works out is yet to be seen.
Regardless, i can see MA has become more active, constantly looking for new opportunities. Some of those new initiatives are bound to succeed eventually.

Interesting times ahead indeed.
 
MindArk leveraging its platform. White-label service. Great.
 
The better for MA the better for us all playing and Im gratefull for the way they seem to be smarter and broader and more up to date nowadays!!

Well done MA

(Dont forget where you are coming from, use the gains to take care of the base and reason you even can expand :D )

:thumbup:

Independant of economy and account database could mean many things. PEDS if considered a virtual currency ( similar to bitcoins) can be used across separate economies with no legal liabilities ( I am not a legal expert so am presuming).

As others have said, this will bring exposure to EU and MA as a whole. If there is some sort of integration possible (legally) it would create an even bigger impact for EU :)
 
i support both posts above :

i don't like gambling, but MA made a lot good moves in the past 2 years compared to the 5 years before that (except the switch to Cyrene Engine :D).
 
From http://www.entropiaplatform.com/entropia-platform/third-party-partners/vincere-b.v/ :
From http://www.entropiaplatform.com/entropia-platform/third-party-partners/vincere-b.v/ :
Vincere B.V is employing the Entropia Platform to build a fully functional virtual casino environment for its VegastoMacau casino customers, in which users can roam their favorite casinos, mingle with others, chat, and socialize while online gaming. In addition, they have the opportunity to win exclusive virtual and real world items, or purchase virtual items from the web shop.

Actual gambling activities are browser-based and are processed through servers provided by the third-party casino software operator located in authorized jurisdictions. The virtual environment is under construction and will be launched in late-2015 independent of Entropia Universe by Vincere B.V.

Online casino users can already play VegastoMacau.com casino games in their mobile or PC browser and receive exclusive virtual items prior to launch of the virtual environment.

This is an independent business, which will operate completely separately to EntropiaUniverse (and ComPets).
It is using the EntropiaPlatform to create a 3D environment for its customers to use within its own licenced premises.
Note that any actual gambling is browser based.

almost sure that i would not use it, even in rl im not that casino guy... but generaly a good move, if the legal conditions are clear and viable. Maybe a platform to generate a second income for mindark. I could imagine that there would positive secondary "media impact" for eu, with a assumed first class quality platform/product(no half finished stuff! ;)). As it creates some risks due to inevitable threats and vulnerabilities, that would be top priority in my opinion... and yes please! seperate mindark servers for eu and this casino platform.

lets see when it starts, there was many new content/things announced and never delivered or endlessly postponed. I dont want to be too negative, looking forwardly for new announcements :) ...following
 
Question deleted. have gotten the answers.

Hopefully this will be good for all the comunity i belive so and wellcome it but i not going to spend my poor peds on it tho hehe ;)
 
I had this idea a loooong time ago.....to put slot machines in the empty rooms opposite auction houses in shopping malls and with them you win ammo weapons la's and what ever else you can throw in there..... Pec slot machines ped slot machines....take your chance....only reason I didn't forward as that's what they were trying to avoid the image of this place being a casino.....

Edit....MA if you implement this idea now....I need cut for idea forwarding.....;)
 
If this happens, then the question is about crafting: I asusme, all crafting MU will fgo up a little as some addicts will switch to these machines and only real crafters (Auktuma-minded players) will stick to crafting.
 
This would benefit Mindark and not Entropia Universe more that the operating company might have some better finances which is good and needed too.
 
I think it's been made quite clear this is completely separate from Entropia Universe. If it is supposed to have or intended to have in the future, any interacting boundaries then I'm pretty sure MindArk will make a statement about it and how it affects us.
 
Not for me but reassuring move!
Anything that strengthens MA is great.

This has potential.

As pointed out, it will be its own game and the actual gambling an income. I'm guessing MA is setting up some sort of deal to get some income over time.

Not only is it positive that they can sell the platform; I am guessing that Entropia Universe somehow will be advertised within the system, where the target audience is people that don't mind losing money online.
 
Sounds more like a consultant service.
Hope they see many business opportunities with it, good for them :)
 
Just hope they do not converge, US blocks gambling sites.

I even browsed to that site with two different machines and it soon comes up with connection issues. What I am assuming somewhere along the connection there is some blocking going on.

This makes me weary of my deposits again :( game partnering with gambling could mean no access for US in the future if something does not get managed correctly.
 
if im right this casino is using MA´s platform and has nothing to do with entropia universe?¿

two seperated games?

This should not be an issue as the entities will be separate and Mindark is just providing the platform. My main interest arises from the query that at some point maybe PED will become a platform currency and as such would work through third party integrations as well.


Do These Images Feel Familiar ? :)
 
A look at whois would suggest that this is a new venture from someone close to/belonging to MA. This is not a partnership persay with an existing entity but a new business venture from MA's end.


Now I can only wish they had introduced deeds for these instead of Compet.. Why MA, Why didnt u? :)

I assure u I would have been one of the early adopters :)

If I understood it right, it will be 3d environment for their customers to socialize.
It might bring some people to EU, hopefully ones with loads of money to spend on slots.
Also this could potentially bring some profits to EU as well if they will decide to advertise inside EU.

Let's just pray this venture will be using separate servers ;)

With the way EU lags, do u think it could be otherwise? :)

However as u said, It will be good for MA and EU and this was the natural progression. They are venturing into mobile gaming as well as casino, both of which have high potential. Success or not, at least the direction is correct. :)

I thought about renaming the exe to "System: Failed" Universe
 
Games 100% separate, think of it like copy pasting a document and then editing it (to massively oversimplify) Bitcoin is already in place so I doubt you'll be seeing a cross of economies between EU and the Vegastomacau.com

I wouldn't worry about the US classifying EU as a casino in light of this, the details are pretty clear about the separation.

I'd agree with a lot of the posts that see this as another revenue source to strengthen EU. More funds as a white label will strengthen the platform across the board, all good things :)

Well not really the first since Cyrene's developers are more or less in the casino business as well.

But I see where MA is going and yes it's good for them to try and make more money. The only issue I have is that what will become of EU? MA has been fighting for years claiming that EU is not a gambling platform. Some red flags could be raised now that MA is selling the platform as one?
