INSIGHT AI-VIRTUAL SPORTS
Straight Invincible GG
When is a start-up not a start-up? When it has received gaming board approval in Nevada for its interactive, AI-powered virtual sports platform, when its platform is already integrated with several of the major casinos in Las Vegas, when it has already established working teams on three
continents, and when its mobile app, Owner’s Club, the flywheel of this innovative ecosystem, is in public beta with 10,000 active players this month. Welcome to Invincible GG.
Invincible GG is a platform gaming company primarily focused on AI-powered virtual sports, using AI and blockchain chain technology to deliver a rewarding gaming experience. Invincible GG has developed two interconnected products: Owner’s Club, a mobile skill game that provides true ownership using blockchain technology of AI-powered horses, stakes racing, breeding, and horse training, skill development and player vs. player horse racing and the associated patented and approved to GLI standards retail solution, and Winner’s Circle where players can wager on live AI-powered races at major US sportsbooks on either a pari- mutuel or with fixed odds basis.
At the ICE show in London, G3 spoke to Invincible GG’s Founder, CEO, and Chairman, Jonathan Strause, about the formation of the company, the imminent launch of Owner’s Club, and what’s next for the skilled-based, AI- powered, virtual horse racing start-up.
It was during Jonathan’s first visit to the UK that he stumbled across the technology and idea kernel that would propel him over the next 15 years to create Invincible GG. At a PS3 game development meeting, Jonathan was shown an interesting side project, an interactive

television-targeted, early-stage AI-based virtual horse racing game. “As a casual US horse racing fan, I’d just been introduced to the UK’s licensed betting shops, where I’d seen virtual horse racing for the first time,” explains Jonathan. “It was explained to me that virtual racing had much more in common with a slot machine than actual horse racing, which I thought was disappointing. So, we acquired the assets for the interactive racing, believing that if we utilised the AI engine to create real-time racing events with horses that “lived” within our ecosystem, the races would be handicap-able live traditional racing and could be disseminated to the US$100bn global pari-mutuel horse betting market. Tat was the vision, but I had no
Te company completed the purchase and re- development of the technology and introduced it to the Nevada market and a few key US states back in 2010. But, it took another nine years to bring Invincible GG to market in Nevada. “We spent a long time establishing the partnerships and getting the platform approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB),” says Jonathan. “Gaming boards are not as familiar with Artificial Intelligence as they are with RNGs. Plus, we had several key partnerships to form and integrations (sportsbooks, tote, etc.) to make it viable for NGCB approval and to disseminate our race content across the states. Once the B2B business became viable, we still had to “build” the mobile game.
Owner’s Club is a mobile skill game that allows players to build a stable of unique horses. Te player becomes the owner-trainer, developing each individual horse before racing them for real money, something that’s already permissible in 37 states as Owner’s Club is classified as a skill game. “In addition to playing in the app, players can also enter their horses in races that are running in brick-and-mortar
