Back then, the group received a license to develop a blockchain and its respective cryptocurrency. While most of the asset will be focused on the casino, the rest of it will contribute to films and music as well.<\/p>\n<p>Blockchain gaming, due to its scalability issues and lack of real-time play, usually consists of casinos and other, more turn-based types of game.
