In the Casino Gaming Industry, so often we got people who ask by client: “why does content cost so much more then my signage”.

What I want to say is this. There seems to be a very disproportional obsession on spending hundred or thousands or even million of dollars on signage or LED display by projects team (without considering if they needed it). But by the time when it come to the content, there are no budget left and the client then complain about why content cost so much money.

The only way to look at this is like this: Buying a nice beautiful signage for your casino is like buying a nice picture frame for a piece of arts. So ask yourself this, will you spend more money on the art or will you spend more money on the picture frame?

For some reasons, for many many many projects teams, the common mistake is spend more on the frame and leave no money on the arts (content), which is why you have these massive display, playing awful experience.

My advice to my client has always been. For every dollar you spend on a nice display or signage, budget at least 2 dollars for your content. Otherwise, you might as sell well not spend the money on the frame, as you are going to get an awful experience anyway.

Introducing the last of the LEGENDARY STARTERS of - Dark Entity, Kira.
What Kira lacks in one-to-one attacks, he makes up for in ominous dark skill. He was torturing slime types when the rest of them were still painting rainbows with their fingers. Kira dabbled in magic as a young spawn, but what he didn't realise - until too late - was that magic comes at a cost. Before he knew it, he racked up too much dark magic debt to find refuge in the light. Perhaps villains don't find their happy endings, but Kira never wanted one. Pain, torture, and death - that was always his mantra. Join the dark side and save yourself from being on the receiving end of this tyrant of depravity.

Introducing the LEGENDARY Lady Elienor (Starter)...
Lady Elienor was once a nurse, giving comfort and aid to the crippled and war-stricken. Her voice was like rich, sweet nectar. Her touch was gentle.The exhausted, starved patients, with skin like moths’ wings stretched over bone, would forget their pain and hunger when she sang through the night.
And then her ward was raided by a band of fire trolls. Burned to the ground. Patients and nurses all turned to cinder. Only she survived, a dim light rising slowly from the ashes.
Lady Elienor sought vengeance, and then some more. She grew to love inflicting pain on all those who wronged her. She was no longer a nurse; she was a nihilist. A nihilist with a voice like nectar.

I know what you’re thinking – who chooses Bulbasaur over Charmander or Squirtle, am I right? Well, look only to the Book to s***f your hesitations about the LEGENDARY Lord of Earth, Adam…
“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
That's right - every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, DOMINATED! Lord of the Earth, Adam, has only one thing on his mind: universal supremacy. And it's no small fish. His all-powerful hurricane does massive earth damage to anything in its wake. Don't mess with this hippie.

Introducing the LEGENDARY Fire King Aviur! (Starter)
The Fire King, Aviur, was once a hot-headed, handsome young prince before he finally managed to temper his fits of rage. Now, as a king among kings, he stands tall and bright – a fiery beacon on the hill that instills fear and respect to all who witness his unearthly powers. He was born and bred to be a leader, there’s no mistake about that - many minions of the fire element have spoken of Aviur’s ability to bring forth an irreversible fever within their hearts and minds… and for many fire nymphs: their loins too. You know what they say: don't get too close to the sun, otherwise you're gonna feel the burn.

Introducing the LEGENDARY Aqua Queen Dayla! (Starter)

The Aqua Queen may not be the fastest swimmer, but this sensual sea-faring seductress will make you suffer if you ever said it to her face! There's probably no Queen more stubborn than Dayla. Aviur, the Fire King, once called her a squid when they were growing up, and she hosed him down so fast that his fire-hot quiff looked like a smoking turd.
And that's why we love her. She is an icon! (Literally, check our app icon)
