Darrell Ratliff, the developer of the innovative Smart Chip Tray, continues his efforts to cement his product as a staple at casinos despite all the difficulties he continues facing. A former US Marine, Ratliff hopes to leverage his product to eliminate cheating at casinos while reducing costs for gambling properties.

The Smart Chip Tray uses cutting-edge technology to count the chips inside it, eliminating the need to stop for tray counts. It also has a manual dropbox counter that calculates the number of the dropbox total. The tray can also be synchronized with electronic bill counters.

Ratliff’s game-changing product allows casinos to better monitor their tables and detect possible instances of fraud or cheating.

Unfortunately, Ratliff continues to struggle to get his product to market. He ended a relationship with an investment company after it told potential buyers that Ratliff wasn’t to be addressed during negotiations and later canceled an agreement with an engineering firm that was able to produce the trays. He also declined an agreement with a manufacturer that proposed selling the tray instead of leasing it.  

Adding to Ratliff’s woes, he was eventually diagnosed with cancer, further jeopardizing his plans. Luckily, the man is now in remission and already making plans to push his product forward.

Ratliff Hopes to Help Casino Operators

As reported by CDC Gaming Reports, Ratliff eventually found out that another company had released a product that was eerily similar to his own. Even though Ratliff piously promised to God not to become arrogant and allow money to guide him, he still got angry when he learned that someone had stolen his patented technology.

Despite all hardship, however, the innovator is unwilling to give up and will continue pushing forward.

Justin Woodward, the chief revenue officer of Red Rock 1, tried to help Ratliff with advice and also introduced him to a patent attorney. He praised Ratliff’s ambition and said that he admired his efforts to break into the world of casino gaming. However, Woodward also acknowledged that breaking into the world of gambling from the outside can be very hard.

In any case, Ratliff continues to be driven by his confidence that his product can revolutionize gaming tables across the casino industry. While not greedy, he said that he hopes to find someone who is “willing to be truthful and honorable” and interested in taking the Smart Chip Tray to the market.

However, Asmongold has had no beef with the way Kick is supposedly “reserving” slots and promoting gambling streams. Kick was launched as an alternative by a number of companies and investors who were unhappy with Twitch’s overreaching policy on gambling streams that prohibited specific websites to be advertised while at the same time failing to define what operators were allowed.

Asmongold Remains Pragmatic in Kick Debate  

The streamer, known mostly by his monicker, has said that there was no issue with what a Reddit post he read was suggesting – namely that Kick may be booking slots for gambling streams. That tracked with the overall strategy of the company Asmongold suggested during a stream. His exact words were:

Kick’s recommended seems to reserve the third and fifth spots for gambling streams.’ There’s a chance that could be the case, I mean listen. Obviously, they’re going to make money off of gambling. This is probably smart to do.

Asmongold

Since Kick launched in March, the platform has already won many Twitch stars, demonstrating its ability to start building from the ground up. Amongst its streamers are famous personalities and established content creators such as xQc, Trainwreck, and Amouranth – all of which had a major presence in the Amazon-owned platform prior to heading out for Kick.

Drake, the famous rapper, is also streaming on Kick on occasion, and the platform already attracts a good amount of viewers. Not only that, but Kick has a far more generous revenue-sharing model, which sees the streamers get 95% of the proceeds against 5% of which go to the platform.

This is a clear act of defiance against other established platforms, including Twitch, that offer their streamers a fraction of the proceeds. Asmongold said that he would not be offering any criticism of the way Kick was doing business either.

Twitch Too Has Clear Gambling Affiliations and Ties

He said that the gambling tangent was not really worth bringing up for the simple reason that Amazon too had a partnership with DraftKings, one of the biggest gambling companies in the United States and North America.

Asmongold has even been considering making the move to Kick himself but has remained mostly neutral and has played no favours in the ongoing community debate that sees Twitch and Kick hotly disputed.

Kick has been already banned in Greece, however, precisely because it has too much gambling content. Weirdly enough, the ban does not cover Twitch, suggesting double standards to an extent.

Stats Perform announced that it has agreed to supply Italy’s leading sportsbook, Lottomatica, with a selection of tennis solutions. Thanks to the deal, Lottomatica’s Goldbet and Better brand will be able to benefit from Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays.

Tennis is the latest sport to be covered by these solutions, just as announced by Stats Perform earlier this year. As a result, Lottomatica will become the first operator in Italy to offer the Instant Highlight and Smart Stats Overlays for tennis.

The Instant Highlights solution allows bettors to re-watch important game events while a game is still in play. The solution is also available for football, covering a rich selection of events and leagues, such as Ligue 1, La Liga and 60+ football leagues, as well as WTA, Wimbledon and the Australian Open in terms of tennis competitions.

Smart Stats Overlays, on the other hand, will provide Goldbet and Better players with real-time Opta betting stats on-screen. That solution is also available for football and tennis live streams, providing a plethora of important information to sports bettors.

Both solutions are available to operators through Stat Perform’s plug-and-play Content Player Pro, or an easy-to-use API for custom product development.

Lottomatica Is Pleased to Be Ahead of Its Competitors

Andrew Ashenden, Stats Perform’s chief betting officer, commented on the agreement, saying that Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays deliver what players want, helping operators attract and retain customers. He added that his team is glad to join forces with Lottomatica, which is just about passionate about sports as Stats Perform.

Vincenzo Zeppillo, Stats Perform’s director of betting for Southern Europe, also shared his thoughts. He noted that he is glad that Lottomatica will pioneer the solutions’ new tennis variant.

We’re delighted to help Lottomatica be the first to bring such a high level of sports entertainment to their tennis customers and confident Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays will be a huge success, as they are for football.

Paolo Manzo, sportsbook director betting & digital Italy at Lottomatica, said that Stats Perform’s solutions will help his team deliver next-gen live streaming experiences to GoldBet and Better players.

We focus relentlessly on enhancing the customer experience and Instant Highlights and Smart Stats Overlays from Stats Perform are powerful tools helping us make every live sports stream more entertaining and more valuable for our customers.

Manzo concluded that Lottomatica is proud to be the first company in the world to offer highlights and overlays for tennis live streams.
