At least one of the wager on the game and the wager on the side bet is made on at least one of two available wagers having differing volatilities from each other.
Market Opportunity
Gaming technology has advanced significantly over the years, and especially within the past two decades since the introduction and allowance of intelligent systems into the field. The use of processors, video displays, electronic accounting, and general processor control over gaming systems has provided much greater breadth in the types and controls of games used within the gaming industry.
According to IBISWorld, over the five years to 2024, the opening of new offline and online markets will likely spur growth as the global economy grows. These new markets are expected to increase gaming activities as governments attempt to gain greater access to money through gaming deregulation. Revenue is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 3.5% to $318.7 billion over the five years to 2024.
