Already got the grey hair -- would like to pay for more than just the rest home and in-home nursing with the proceeds from ATIG :o)

The SW integration of ECDI "money/transaction and user account management" SW with Cake Poker and ATIG Thunderball plus all their other gaming SW won't be trivial and getting them to work securely across 450+ casino sites AND eventually world wide is no small task. My guess is that none of these interfaces between SW match and will require the development and testing of "glue" SW to interface the various packages.

In my opinion the best thing they can do is get at least a few sites working by around Aug/Sep/Oct and if they push the schedule hard to be ready for customers (working ceritified system in multiple states) by the first week in Nov they could spend a little advertising money to get their name out there during the ESPN airing of the WSOP final table in first week of Nov. It would be a huge opportunity missed if they cannot be ready by then. Need to really hire some IT resources (an army if necessary) ASAP to get this thing integrated.

If US online poker is legal by Nov there will be lots of advertisers (PokerStars, FullTilt, etc.) but if not ATIG could really get a boost for the TGN if it is operational. PLUS a delay in the online poker bill would give them more time to establish and verify the system is working prior to US allowing operation.

Timing isn't everything but it is really really important.
