I wouldn't apply in the US for an unregulated casino patent.
Probably the idea could get patented but wouldn't be protected since the casino would be run offshore. If I wanted to patent a casino idea it would be in the European Union but still... patent was probably not designed for the Internet.
Hehe, good point.
Software patents are nothing but idea patents, people (I mean, big corporations like Apple, Microsoft, Google...) get patents on ideas not copyright on their code, they have patents like the right mouse click, progress bar, even interactive websites, that would cover almost all the WWW.
In regards to this casino, European Roulette is around for quite an amount of years, it should be public domain by now, video streaming and live gambling or whatever live in the Internet is not a new idea and probably not possible to patent.
The only thing that can be subjected to copyrights is the layout and why copy that?
This kind of patents only exist in the USA, and there's a movement to abolish them, as they stop progress and innovation and that goes against the goal of having patents.
