concept through to finished product.
It goes without saying it all started with a simple concept - an automated, robotised croupier. Ten the initial outline was mapped and the first drafts. In the course of design and production we faced a few difficulties.
What development challenges did you encounter?
Te challenges were mostly linked to the software design. Since this is a one-of-a-kind concept, we never really relied on best practices in the industry. It was all custom work. Upon understanding the issues we've managed to find the solutions and now there are no technical or software issues detected.
Has the product been patented?
When we had a prototype we initiated the process of patenting at once. Very soon we will be able to present Hands-Do as a fully patented innovation.
What flexibility is there for Hands-Do to 'host' more games?
For Hands-Do it’s all a matter of programming. Currently it works for Dragon Tiger and Baccarat games, but more types can be added. One of the main features however is that for any game a dealing time can be fixed. Unlike a human dealer, Hands-Do will perform the dealing depending on the time set by a partner.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of
By no means we intend to replace our talented and skilled croupiers with robots. There is a demand for both types of gameplay - with real dealers and with robots too. However, Hands-Do
guarantees an error-free experience. The robot has no mood or mentality, it acts
according to the way it’s been programmed.
using machinery compared to a real-life croupier?
By no means we intend to replace our talented and skilled croupiers with robots. Tere is a demand for both types of gameplay - with real dealers and with robots too. However, Hands- Do has a few advantages. Due to automation and quality control, Hands-Do guarantees an error-free experience.
Te robot has no mood or mentality, it acts according to the way it’s been programmed. Another advantage is that the robot radically reduces the expenses on staff. A single hardware can work tirelessly 24/7, both online and in a brick and mortar casino.
Are there opportunities for individual branding?
Hands-Do itself, the hardware, can be designed in the colours to match the individual branding of a client. Additionally, we offer a complete dedicated hall for the robot and its interior can also be designed per request.
Hands-Do is a unique piece of machinery and, for now, is a novelty offering. Do you think robotic automation could ever catch on, replace human-to-player communication in live casino, and become mainstream?
Tough robots can add up to levels of players’ entertainment, they can never replace the social aspect of a live casino, something that we have been proudly serving for years. However, the technology has already taken its niche and created a highly appealing market that is solely based on automated gameplay. As for Hands- Do, it offers an alternative form of entertainment and it is up to a player to enjoy and support it.
What's next in the product pipeline? Are you looking to pursue automation or go down a different path?
We currently focus on our robot and think of the further upgrades for it. Te automated dealer will stay in CreedRomz’s casino and we already think of ways to enhance it. Another step will be the addition of a camera to Hands-Do. Tat will take the video streaming to another level, which again will be an interesting point of interaction with a player.
