And there is one thing I could suggest you OP is to take someone who owns a business if you could find a person who is also in gambling much better as this person will guide and educate you to the things that you need to procure before having in real business. It is much better for you to have a business partner that could really teach of what you have to do because this was not easy, that was the truth.
I do not follow this topic closely, but I remember that even on this forum I saw announcements for the sale of ready-made casino scripts + work with existing casinos on the basis of a franchise. I think the last option is very working, given the fact that if this is a real franchise and not a fraud, then for your money you get a complete business model with ready-made algorithms and you just have to follow it instead of learning everything from scratch.
