Blockchain gaming platform Alphaslot and Synergy Blue, creator of skill-based games and platforms, have announced an agreement to explore bringing entertainment solutions using blockchain technology to casino gaming in the American, Asian, and European markets.

The strategic alliance allows Synergy Blue to explore how Alphaslot’s blockchain API could be used in its skill-based casino gaming products.

At G2E Asia, Synergy Blue CEO Georg Washington discussed this topic, among others, on a panel moderated by Alphaslot’s COO, Albert Yu. The panel discussion gathered industry leaders to explore a wide range of ideas on industry innovations and regulatory challenges in various gaming segments. Panelists explored Asia’s online gaming future as well as the potential expansion of skill-based gaming.

Georg Washington, CEO of Synergy Blue, said: “Alphaslot is leading the way for blockchain adoption in the gambling industry. While microtransactions, unique award items, and soft upgrades (skins, etc) are unheard of in the casino/gambling world, they are pervasive in the video game market.

“Our goal is to explore how to leverage blockchain technology to help attract the next generation of gambler and provide innovative entertainment experiences. We are excited about exploring blockchain technology and working with regulators, casino properties, and Alphaslot to ensure compliance and to help spark adoption throughout the industry.”

Raymond Chan, CEO and co-founder of Alphaslot, said: “This agreement with Synergy Blue in America will give us an opportunity to expand into the emerging market of skill-based casino gaming, which could lead to demand for interactive products powered by blockchain technology.

“Our new blockchain technology, combined with Synergy Blue’s gaming innovation, could help shape the future of the casino gaming industry. Alphaslot and Synergy Blue are taking our first steps with a serious and continuous commitment.

"We already had great success presenting our vision at the London ICE show in February and we were excited to showcase again our blockchain API at G2E Asia in Macau.”
