We all know casinos have some of the worst connotations. It's all about the money. They don't actually care about the community. They just set aside 10% of their earnings to make it look like they care about the community.
As a result, a team of Steemians are working to change that.
We love playing table games, watching and betting on sports games, and enjoying the casino environment so why can't we turn it into a win-win.
A win for the people like us who love to have fun with table & card games.
A win for people like us who love to watch their favorite sports teams and make fun bets to increase the excitement of the experience.
And lastly, a win for people like us who have been so sick of the negative connotation attached to casinos and playing these games.
Why can't we have good, clean fun that helps out both the individual and the community?
This is where the Community Casino comes into fruition.
Blockchain technology allows for some many possibles, especially with the many options to integrate STEEM into applications.
With the Community Casino, Steemit's First Casino, we are applying this technology and making a completely open and transparent community-based casino where are the rakes, table/game percentage, and odds are clearly displayed and transparent.
We are also including lessons learned from the finance community and applying community concepts local Credit Unions and smaller banks use in helping their communities
As a result, half (50%) of the proceeds from the Community Casino will directly go into the community. No 10% we only have this program because its a tax deduction give-away program.
No, this is a real 50/50 partnership whose goal is to provide the Steemit community with the resources it needs to continue to survive and thrive.
The Community Casino will use these funds to fund community-driven business and charity ideas similar to Whaletank. It will set up a community Accelerator to help facilitate the idea to business timeline of any Steemian apart of this amazing community.
The options and ideas for community building activities are endless and it is why we will have a Community Panel in charge of researching and distributing these funds to the Steemit community.
O you want to start a niche community but don't have the funds for branding and to start contest or giveaways.
The Community Casino is here to help. Every single Steemian gets at least one "golden ticket" which will entitle them to a free community building package that includes tools, designs, and ideas to make the community you want to create a reality.
This is all because the team behind the Community Casino love Steemit.
We love the community. We love the people. We love the family and friends we have become.
We can't wait to bring you one of the first community-centric casinos in the entire world here on Steemit. It is only right that such a revolutionary idea takes place in such a revolutionary idea such as Steemit.
Thank you as always @dan , @ned , and the team of witnesses and developers for making the unlimited possibilities of Steemit a reality. We owe you everything, so thank you again.
Stay tuned the rest of August for more information about Steemit's first casino, the Community Casino.
Games go live end of September.
Thank you as always for your time and attention.
