Yes, Bill, you are right. It is much more complicated. We should have said IGT specifically, which I think you will agree is the market leader. We are told that IGT uses VxWorks (what is the story with the board BTW?). To be more informative (and less reactive), the objective is not to sell new machines but refurbish old ones. We have a potential partner that owns a Hotel and has a Gaming License. He can apply for a manufacturing license under his existing charter and (we are told) should as a standard procedure obtain such an approval in 60 days. We hope to get that application in this month. Then between SNCC and UNLV we have the potential to cooperate on the development of a new curriculum starting in AY 2004-5 for an Entertainment Engineering Program that would eventually become an accredited degree. Of course, MorphOS would tie into all of this. The Genesi-USA COO Paul Adams is on the UNLV Technology Advisory Council so we have begun to position ourselves in this way. It is a long term plan, but they have to start one day to reach a successful conclusion...:-)

In the meanwhile, we understand the game ROM is the real issue, as the game ROM is what cannot cross State lines. Also, the firmware holds so important issues. We are just trying to understand all the possibilities.

Feel free to educate us in any way you can! We will be listening! that goes for you and anyone else with experience in this area.

Hoping to strike one jackpot in Las Vegas...:-)

Hmm.. Lienee aika hankala alue juuru noiden lakiteknisten ongelmien ja valvonnan takia. Mutta, tiedä siitä.. Teoriassa mahdollista ainakin, tuskin kovinkaan todennäköistä.
