This evening, we reached a milestone at the Key West.
At 9 p.m., our Key West custom virtual roulette table went "live" on the Key West site, joining our other custom games -- a Key West slot machine and a virtual blackjack table that just might be the nicest blackjack game available on the web. All of our virtual casino games are original, and use virtual versions of our real Key West casino chips and playing cards.
These three games were the casino staples I originally envisioned for the site, and now they're all here, and all have moved from idea to working online game in about seven months.
Creating each game has been both a thrill and a challenge. In each case, the game has begun with a pair of e-mails to two very talented people -- Jerry Drescher of Jetacer Interactive and John Faulhaber of J5 Design.
Jerry specializes in creating amazing computer games from scratch, and his talent and enthusiasm for his craft are unmatched. Likewise, John was the artist who created the original artwork for the Key West, and brought his talent and creativity to the other Key West projects like playing cards, dealer buttons and, now, virtual casino games.
To create each game, I've reached out to these men, who've worked both independently and collaboratively. Whenever we ran up against a problem, their talents and abilities have solved it or simply worked around it.
For our blackjack game, we were assisted by Heather Ferris of Vegas-Aces.com, a real-life Las Vegas dealer who answered our game rules questions for those unusual circumstances that sometimes come up at the blackjack table. Because of her help, our blackjack table deals and responds to every situation exactly like a real casino dealer would.
On a particular evening in December, as we worked on the blackjack game together, I was privileged to be in my office in Delaware and have open communications online with John, Jerry and Heather, discussing the art, chip images, layout, and blackjack rules. I watched as the game came together before my eyes from the work of a a computer programmer in Wisconsin, an artist in Canada, and a casino dealer in Las Vegas. The results speak for themselves.
We've placed our casino games online for free for your entertainment, and because I believe it's important to have these games at our "casino." After all, what would a "fantasy casino" be without some fantasy slots, blackjack and roulette?
I hope you enjoy the games, and appreciate the great, talented people who created them. I surely do.
