Hi, my name is Aaron Hightower. I was recently hired as VP of Gaming Technology for NanoTech Gaming Labs.

I am looking for a Junior Programmer who has interest in games. We develop software for both casino and arcade markets at NanoTech Gaming Labs.

Since joining in November 2013, I have been putting together our Las Vegas office. We are located near the intersection of Warm Springs and Dean Martin Drive. This is centrally located to be ideal for Las Vegas locals no matter what part of Vegas you live in.

I have already hired the best game designer that I have ever worked with. His name is Stephen Riesenberger.

Stephen was the game designer for Rush 2049 and I was the lead programmer back at Atari when we met.

The day Stephen started working with me, we went and played our game that we made 15 years ago at NYNY on our lunch break to celebrate working together again.



He still had a lot of "SWAG" from back in those days.



Stephen and I and NanoTech are even MORE excited about what we are working on now with NanoTech Gaming Labs, and we're looking to add one more Junior Programmer who has experience with C++ and is interested to program some games.

The Junior Programmer position is for a simple game that Stephen and I have designed that should be simple to implement before G2E. It should be tons of fun working at the Las Vegas office with me and Stephen. The project that Stephen and I are working on is separate from your project. The successful candidate will have ownership and pride in their work just like the other team members at NanoTech Gaming Labs.







Press release about the opening of the Las Vegas office

If this sounds like something that you think that you're qualified and you want to get into a great opportunity making and programming games with me and Stephen and help our business grow, I would like to hear from you!

Please e-mail ahigh@ntek.com and include a cover letter and resume if you are interested.

Just wanted to add that we also have a position open for an FPGA programmer. This is probably more of a longshot for this group of folks. But you never know! This person would more likely be a contract position and we are open (expecting actually) to having someone working remotely. However, full-time application with these qualifications also would be great!

Wow, I sure am glad I bought in to NTEK!

I used to have so much money I didn't know what to do with it all, but not any more.

Since watching my NTEK position tank and lose 70% of its value in about six months, I no longer have to worry about such things.

Wow.

Sounds like a message more appropriate for another place, my friend.

What do you expect? It's penny stocks. One large sell or buy can completely change the price.

Yeah, what he said.

I just wanted to let folks know that we do have a limited number of free passes for G2E. I only ask that you agree to come by and see what we have been hard at work to create and demonstrate at this year's G2E conference if you receive a free pass.

Send me a PM if you are interested to receive a free pass to G2E from NanoTech Gaming Labs. Full price for these passes is $299, and they are limited so let me know ASAP if you want one and I'll put you on the list.

Here is a link to the free passes. I am inviting all members of the Wizard of Odds forum to the G2E show complements of NanoTech Gaming Labs.

Thanks for everyone's support. Yesterday, we met with GLI and with the assistance of a referral from Michael Shackleford who has been consulting with our math model, we appear to have nothing but positive signs to approve our patent-pending advantage play math model. I am very excited about the opportunity to answer questions at the show about the details for how this math model enables the casino to offer a play experience that allows for players to play as much as they want and to bet extremely high stakes wagers while enjoying the opportunity for advantage play gambling.

I know that the members of this forum are of the sort that could easily punch holes in a design that will not work. But we are confident after our meeting with GLI and feedback from our math consultant, who is a veteran of the industry, that we are have is going to fly. We are very excited!



I also want to thank the folks at GLI for everything that they have done to help us along at NanoTech Gaming Labs. We are very happy to have had such great experiences working with the great folks there.

I'm also happy to report that, in addition to Stephen as our Lead designer for the game, we have the Lead Artist from Rush 2049 coin-op doing our artwork for us, and the cabinet designer for Rush 2049 who designed our cabinet as well. All the leads from our game at Atari Games from 15 years ago working together again! It's absolutely fantastic the support that I have received from this amazing team!

The game name, "Vegas 2047" reflects that we have the team back together again and it's truly exciting to see everyone having such a great time working on this project.
