the new wave of online gambling caused me to think about the aspects of these games that people enjoy. a lot of it is the thrill of gambling itself of course. but a particular game i've seen people play stood out to me: livestreamed "real" blackjack tables. human dealers are employed somewhere not in the US to deal you cards and react to your play / comments. this is ~fine but it makes the game slower and the UI clunky. I'm also not sure what the ethics there are. I figured we can now combine the best of both worlds:
1. have a seamless UI much like the regular one -- you can even play from your phone
2. have AI powered dealers that react to your play and you can chat with
this means the game can be much more seamless and quicker, while maintaining the fun of having someone to chat with while you play. plus you still have the thrill of the game since you're playing with Solana! just connect your wallet, deposit some SOL, and cash out at any time! the backend itself is just a smart contract and the funds are non-custodial.
lots of things to polish here regarding latency etc. but figured this is still a fun little demo some people might enjoy.
any feedback is much appreciated.
good luck!
