NETWORKED CASINO GAMBLING FROM BLUE YONDER
25 September 2009
Start up server based gaming company has some
new technology
Blue Yonder Gaming Corporation, a start-up technology
company, has announced that it has completed the initial
release of its new server-based platform, GameEdge,
designed to be the first-ever "out of the box" solution
providing a fast track for gaming manufacturers and
content developers interested in networked gaming.
A company spokesman said this week: "With this novel
concept, casino game developers and manufacturers who
have been hard pressed to re-design, integrate and
innovate their current products for networked technology
will now be able to take full advantage of the new
structure coming to casinos as gaming operations convert
from running stand-alone slot machines to streaming
games on central server systems.
Peter
Shoebridge, CEO and one of the three co-founders of the
company, added: "Our goal was to provide a platform to
those who want to integrate onto these new networks but
have not been able to access the technology of networked
gaming on their own or in a timely matter.
"With
our GameEdge platform, we unlock the ins and outs of the
new gaming networks for those whose expertise,
creativity and insights are best focused on innovating
the casino and player experience."
The Blue
Yonder platform makes available a server based gaming
system to deploy and run a secure scalable solution for
operating games and slot machines. With a robust
development kit and a suite of APIs, it provides easy
integration of existing game content and sets the stage
for open development and innovation.
Casino
operators are already planning for networked gaming,
envisioning an environment based on open standards and
interoperability to allow products from different
sources to seamlessly operate and co-operate throughout
their properties, said Shoebridge. With the complete
gaming platform infrastructure changing and new
communication protocols requiring system and code
modifications, current content providers and
manufacturers are challenged to either develop their own
solution, wait for the top-tiered system suppliers to
open their platforms or be left behind in the transition
to server-based gaming.
Blue Yonder's GameEdge
is designed to shortcut the process of implementing
networked gaming and to allow content providers to focus
on the game, not the infrastructure. For many users,
this will start with moving their current games to the
platform, allowing them to seamlessly integrate with all
the various new ecosystems of networks and third-party
applications heading for the casino floor. Once existing
content has been moved to the networked platform,
content developers can start to innovate and incorporate
advanced new networked features in their next generation
offerings.
Key functions of GameEdge include:
downloadable on-demand content; central administration
and configuration; extendable meter support; full play
history (including screenshots); a high-performance and
highly-scalable server architecture; support for
existing casino peripherals and protocols; open client
architecture to allow easy integration with existing
content, compatibility with .NET applications, Adobe
Flash, Java and C++ based technologies; and support for
Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL database back-ends.
