In July 2018, a new company was founded to add extra entertainment for casino players. The inspiration behind the project of Alphaslot was the realization that land-based casinos have a hard challenge to attract players. Albert Yu, Chief Officer of Aphaslot, believes that the blockchain technology can bring new opportunities in the gaming industry, by attracting new players from eSports, mobile, online social games and to connect them to land-based environments, embracing the online-offline (O2O) experience.
The History of the Organisation
The company has its office in Hong Kong and the technology office is in Shenzhen. The company as a whole, is the first blockchain gaming company that is a member of Gaming Standards Associations, GSA.
GSA is a notable leading association that brings gaming regulations, compliance and adopts new technology for gaming as well. Along the way, Alphaslot welcomes two advisors, the Honorary President of the European Casino Association, Ron, together with his partner Paul, from Pantera Capital situated in Silicon Valley.
Their vision is to make the O2O a reality for the gaming industry, enabling the adoption of blockchain technology to create a new entertainment world.
What Does O2O Mean
O2O or the online-offline tech is a buzzword for the commercial world and slowly its starting to take shape with China leading the way. Technology is the main aspect of the world today, and it is frequent in every detail and minutes of our lives. O2O is a new electronic marketing mode that has become popular among people.
O2O’s aim is to find people online and bring them towards land-based stores. For the gaming industry O2O can serve as an online tool that brings people towards a land-based venue, establishment. Another example that is close to online-offline tool, are online casinos such as Admiral Casino, which already use an alternative way in bringing its players towards their land-based structures. Many casinos started as land-based, however only a few number of them continued their way towards an online domain. Some of them use the resources in maintaining an online and offline approach for players.
O2O integrates and optimizes the application of online resources with offline business opportunities that its using Internet connection. The business process starts with service providers that presents information about products or services to people. Users review these services online and then they experience the services or products offline.
Some people already know this type of exchange of services or products online and offline, but they never knew the name of this process. This is the O2O or online-offline commerce.
