Looks like tribal casinos have been the vehicle used to set the stage or who and what interest(s), will control this huge future industry. Goggle and Apple and Amazon have the war chests and tech talent, to decide the game.
Modern Times 'wagering' is completely controlled by Silicon Valley fortunes and tech. I foresee mergers and buyouts of the likes of EA and IGT.
I am not even sure if MSFT can get into this arena, without backing and power alliances from the likes of NJ, NV, NY, and CALIF. My belief is MSFT has suffered too many mistakes and now is takeover material.
The technology is advancing so fast, Asian money and tech centers are on one flank of MSFT (as a example competitor) and the other flank is Silicon Valley.
Right now, I am betting on GLUU, COOL, BETS, NTEK, MCZ to be targets of buy-outs. However' to avoid government regulatory legalities, the new way to absorb a competitor . . . is to directly buy its stock, get your people on its BODs, and provide tech assistance. Thus, a small competitor is taken off the table, so to speak. Forget patent wars . . . too slow of a technique. Just buy in and 'control' the tech company.
DIS scored a huge coup when they bot MVL.
Material content for games is another facet of the 'game/gambling wars'.
Cellphone upgrades lead to the means to control the future of everything. Expect more ETFs like BJK. Even giants like INTC may not be able to continue, without support of someone like Goggle. A famous economist once stated on TV, that he felt eventually the world would be ruled by 20-30 large corporations.
SkyNet is already here and no one sees it.
Goggle has developed a search engine now that even their best engineers cannot figure out the same stuff it does, nor even how it does it. Armies of the future (ten years from now), will be single human directing a robot
squad, tasked to protect that human, and accomplish a common goal.
Entertainment will be a major industry, that will be automated and will become the 'job' for us. We may even be 'payed' to post online (think 'game stamps') to match our food stamps. Your 'posts' will become your lively-hood. You (as electronic activity) become your own business model,
that folds into the super cloud apparatus.
I do not think its very easy to pick 'winners' anymore . . . I will be looking over the gaming ETF as THE investment.
ATIG . . . ?
Now mere static debris?
Bye-the-way . . . where's our money, has it ';melted' away as vapour after the freeze was lifted . . . broke retail investors are 'puzzled'.
