Cargo™ - A way forward for Casino Game Production

Server Based Gaming (SBG), also known as Networked Gaming (NG),  is widely regarded as being “the future” in the casino industry. However, at MetaGU we see it as a delivery and enabling mechanism. The next revolution is really about game content and the new forms it will take and content is where revenues must ultimately come from. However, current techniques for game development are dependent on software developers and too slow, and this applies irrespective of whether SBG/NG is currently being used or not.

The Meta Games Universal Ltd (MetaGU) game generation system, Cargo™, has been developed to put game production firmly into the hands of game designers and to dramatically speed up game production as well as lower costs. The patented* Cargo™ system allows individuals without software expertise to produce high quality games for the regulated casino market quickly and easily, and it supports both new and existing gaming platforms and technologies without platform changes.

Do you need Cargo™? The tests

	When you want to make changes to a game (For example, for a new customer or a new market) do you have to wait weeks or months?
	Do you want to easily leverage on existing games without significant re-development costs or time delays?
	Is game production slowed down because of workflow and communication problems between game designers and software developers? Are there development bottlenecks?
	Do development errors often delay game production and raise costs?
	Does it take a long time for the game requirements to become clear and to be agreed?
	Do you need new games for existing technologies (or platforms) but don’t have the manpower?
	Do you want to open up development to 3rd parties without exposing your IP?
	Do you need to support multiple platforms and / or technologies ?
	Is your ability to develop new types of games limited because of current development workloads?

If you answer yes to any of the above then you need Cargo™
