WASHINGTON, DC -- February 13, 2002 -- A
consumer safety net has been tossed into the
online gaming arena anchored by Quixotic
Solution's Honest Gaming Software. This
groundbreaking technology will change the face
of the burgeoning $1 billion online gambling
industry by eliminating cheating, promoting fair
play and allowing consumers to participate in a
safe and regulated environment.
Recently, representatives from Quixotic
Solutions Inc. (QSI) were on Capitol Hill to
showcase this patented software application,
that radically reduces or eliminates most forms
of cheating.
"What we have actually done is taken
something complicated and created a
straightforward solution," explained QSI CEO
Steven B. Davis. "We have created a way to
shuffle cards over a network between a game
server and a player even if they are thousands
of miles apart. We combined that element with
well-known security technologies, like digital
signatures, which allows the creation of a new
kind of electronic contract that can be used to
protect the consumer. Players, regulators and
game providers have the ability to monitor and
independently reconstruct any game."
Consumer complaints about fraud and game
manipulation are commonplace in the current
online gaming environment because Internet
gaming is unregulated. Player participation
continues to grow, but studies have shown that
most online gaming participants are very leery
about the fairness of the games.
"We heard the complaints that there was no
way to protect the consumer. In fact, many
people have said that you could not even detect
if a game was rigged or played unfairly on the
Internet," said QSI President Cheryl Campbell.
"With our Honest Gaming Software, it is possible
to secure the game itself. Every event in that
game, whether it's a roll of the dice, the play
of a card or the spin of a wheel can be
determined if it is fair and honestly played."
Davis added: "What our technology does is
give the player the ability to independently
verify, reconstruct and prove that the game was
played fairly. And if there are any problems,
consumers can take the reconstructed game to a
legal or financial authority to seek proper
restitution."
Last year several bills were introduced on
The Hill calling for a ban on Internet gambling.
One primary concern was the lack of regulatory
and law enforcement oversight. QSI's Honest
Gaming Software, which utilizes patented game
protocol and various cryptographic
functionalities, provides a framework for that
type of oversight and can help address other
legislative concerns including online gambling
by children and gambling addictions. The
technology creates a safe environment for
consumers and promotes the development of a
national policy where sensible regulation can be
effectively implemented.
"We believe that this software forms a
foundation that will set a national and
international standard for online gaming
regulation," Campbell said.
The founders of Quixotic Solutions Inc., has
been working on their technology and patents to
ensure game honesty and integrity since 1997.
They continue to pursue partners in Government
and Industry worldwide to license their
technology for consumer protection of on-line
games. For further information, please go to
