Video poker shouldn't be really too far away from the roadmap if you like poker so much, I mean I kinda understand the purity of poker players wanting to keep poker clean and not make some video machine help people play "poker" because they feel like it is not even poker at that point etc etc.
This one made me laugh a bit, kind of like saying you like Bitcoin so why not just use Paypal. The only real similarity is in the "hands" apart from that it's just a 2 step slot machine really. I'm not a big gambler so these games don't interest me that much, I am looking forward to their developed skills games though. I imagine that will be a big draw, as you have the classics people seem to really like - Dice, Plinko but bringing something innovative in is what will really help generate fresh traffic, that won't be easily drawn to other sites. Whereas if you offer the same type of games as everyone else, what's really keeping people loyal for lack of a better word.
Hmm yeah, innovation is important in developing business because people will certainly look for something different and more fun. And in my opinion, developing poker does not mean not keeping purity of poker, but it only adopts a few rules from poker to be combined with other rules of the game such as slots to produce a new and innovative game. For me this is not a poker game but another game so there is no indication of polluting the purity of poker in here.
