Selling New Online Table Game
For example, would the developer be able to bring the game right to the Golden Nugget, or would they have to go through a company like SG or IGT?
DO online casinos have their own game developers or do they source from third parties?
It seems that Draftkings has its own in house team producing the games, does anyone have knowledge on this?
Thanks for the info...

Most online casinos license their software from one of the major manufacturers. Some definitely have their own developers. Draftkings does have their own programmers as I have met with them. They now have a development team in Las Vegas.

Most online casinos get games from various software vendors. Few develop their own games. I would instead go to the software developers, however I think you'll not have much success. They generally wait for a game to work in the land casinos and then steal it.
Does a PCT and Design patent mean nothing?
Who are the best companies to work with as a new game developer? I know it's a tough business and everyone thinks they have a winner until they get it in front of the decision-makers. There have to be a few companies that are looking for new work from new companies...
Quote: maxpowerHow do they steal the game once it is in a casino? Please excuse my naivete. Wouldn't they be able to just steal it when I present it to them?

Let them steal it, earn money on it, then sue them for that money.

You are correct, anyone is free to use it until the actual patent is issued. That is why many people don't publicly disclose until the patent is issued. A typical patent is issued in 18 months to 36 months.
