They control the backend. You trust the house. Send Arcade exists to change that. + +This is the first time a casino is operated by futarchy. + +--- + +## Who We Are + +Send Arcade is a Real-Money Casual Gaming Arcade built on Solana.(fancy way of saying casino) + +We started Send Arcade under the Send Ecosystem and token $SEND 1.5 years ago. Built 10+ games. 9M+ on-chain plays. $200k+ ARR. Back then, our role was to be the gaming arm of SEND and grow the ecosystem in all directions. + +Then the Send token was sunset 2 months ago. [Read here](https://x.com/yashhsm/status/2009698779902169135?s=20) + +So now we are independent, to take this casino to the next level and make it bigger than it ever was. + +--- + +## The Window + +The Real Money Gaming market is valued in billions. But the window to generate millions here and break the duopoly is small. + +Web3 gaming studios keep trying to build “the one game” that changes everything. but the market doesn’t want over-innovation to invent a new category like High-quality FPS shooter that no one asked for. + +Skill-based real money gaming already has a massive market gap waiting to be filled. + +So why not build a casino. With Simple, Skill-based,PvP games. Just games people already play and will gamble upon. + +--- + +## The Tech + +- Zero backend. +- Games fetch their state directly from contracts. +- Fully on-chain. Verifiable outcomes. Instant Settlement to blow the mind of normies. +- Agent-friendly by default. PvP revenue model. + +If your agent is good enough, it can independently go and make generational wealth for you inside the casino. And because we don’t run servers, our operating costs are 90% lower than traditional gaming studios. + +--- + +## How will the Arcade token go up? The Casino Math + +Think of $ARCADE as a casino chip. When you enter a casino, you buy chips to play. + +Now that the chip is an ownership coin, then the value being generated accrues to holders. + +House always wins. So just own the House. We take our share of revenue from the losing side. + +I dont understand why do people still play in casinos with zero transparency and possible rigging? at least here, everything is verifiable on-chain. If you’re going to gamble, you might as well do it in a system you can verify. + +Casinos don’t exist to make everyone rich, They exist because of the stakes. + +You wouldn’t enjoy poker if you were playing with fake money. The stakes elevate the thrill. The stakes make it real. Betting on yourself is the feature. + +Send Arcade wants to dominate the world of high stakes. + +This ICO is structured so the casino keeps running and the players never doubt the platform they choose to play on. + +You have always been players in the casino, Now you get a chance to own the casino. + +--- + +## **Fundraise Goals** + +**Minimum raise: $ 288,000 USD** + +Funds will be used to support ~11 months of sending it + +## **Roadmap & Milestones** + +- **Launch and start season 1 of our flagship game aka FuseMeDaddy on Seeker And Play Solana Console** +- Roll out game modes, maps, characters and skins along the upcoming weeks after launch +- Release the game on App Store and play store + other publishing venues. +- Polish and release the Arcade app with 6 plus minigames. +- Revive old titles like Lana Roads +- Then we build all the casino-arcade style games that the community wants.
