New
casino
elevator
betting
could
soon
be
reality

If you ride in an elevator a lot - you know what it is like to wonder
which
one
will
arrive
first
to
take
you
where
you
want
to
go.
If
you
are
an
online
gambling
player
–you
like
betting,
so
this
should
come
as
no
major
stretch
of
the
gaming
imagination.
In fact, there is a new gaming company that wants you to truly be able to
bet
on
which
elevator
will
arrive
to
take
you
where
you
want
to
go –
for
real
money
too.
Based in Cali, the new company Elevated Gaming, about a year and a
half
ago,
thought
betting
on
this
would
be
exciting.
Hence
the
name
of
the
company
too.
The
founders
of
the
company
were
actually
waiting
for
an
elevator
one
day
and
the
rest
is
history.
Now, the gaming company is looking to sell machines to casino properties
all
over
the
world
that
will
let
you
bet
on
the
elevator’s
arrival.
Can
you
imagine
a
machine
on
every
floor
of
every
casino
hotel
property
that
would
let
you
place
a
bet
on
which
elevator
will
come
first?
We
think
it
is
brilliant.
The fully automated machines would be a great draw fro people to stay at
casino
properties
– a
truly
novel
idea.
As far as the company goes, it was shaped to develop and market products
that
make
use
of
the
patentable
rights
to
the
new
elevator
betting
game.
The
founders
of
the
company
expect
the
company
to
quickly
become
a
vital
part
of
the
casino
gaming
industry.
The company's main game, Bet-A-Vator, can be played wherever such games
are
legal. Casino
properties
and
anywhere
else.
In
the
game,
players
(gambling
fans
that
is)
would
be
able
to
amuse
themselves
by
placing
wagers
on
such
things
as
arrival,
timing,
and
direction
of
the
elevators.
Think
about
it
this
way,
a
bank
of 4
elevators
( a
typical
scene),
for
example,
a
correct
wager
might
pay
a
winning
gambler
$3
for
each
dollar
wager
placed,
so,
because
of
the
game's
high
house
edge,
the
casino
property
would
reel
in a
25%
gross
return
on
play.
Not
bad
for
the
casino
property
–
and
really
fun
for
the
guest.
You
have
to
at
least
admit
it
is
innovative
if
nothing
else.
Patents are pending and if granted, Elevated Gaming would get seventeen
years
of
extensive
and
elite
rights
to
its
newly
designed
elevator
game
–
this
means
all
over
the
world
too.
Even
though
the
elevator
game
may
be
played
in a
number
of
ways,
with
or
without
a
human
operator,
it
is
expected
that
the
great
bulk
of
play
will
be
by
automated
gaming
machines.
These
will
be
sold
and
serviced
only
by
the
company
around
the
world.
One of the founders of the new company says that it has formed with a few
highly
skilled
game
makers
as
well
as
many
experienced
professional
in
order
to
bring
the
idea
to
fruition.
All
in
all,
the
company
members
have
many
years
of
experience.
Elevated Gaming is consistently expected to produce almost $475 million
in
sales
and
$256
million
in
net
operating
profits
in
its
first
4
years
of
operation.
Could
this
idea
be
the
next
big
thing?
The company is fully confident that it will expects have completed its
product
improvement,
testing,
and
legal
consent
processes
before
the
next
year
is
up.
I guess we will be able to truly bet on elevators soon then – until then
have
fun
doing
it
for
free.
Our
online
gambling
news
department
cannot
wait
to
gamble
on
this
soon.
– as
long
as
it
is
legal.
