If what you reference is tied to some blockchain, does it resolve the delay in confirming actions that rest on the blockchain (any blockchain) ?
Decentralised poker is something I've looked at over the years. The closest I've seen is app-based poker, with real world settlements off app.
For most of the last 15 years, when I wanted to play on a poker site:
-create account, get asked for address/email/possibly ID photos
-send USD from bank to site, hope bank & poker site don't question it
-play, hope RNG isn't rigged
-cash out, hope site is solvent
-hope bank accepts wire, wait time probably days
Recently, it's been:
-create account, ID, etc
-deposit bitcoin, confirmed in a few minutes/hour
-play, hope not rigged
-cashout btc, pretty confident site is solvent, confirmed in minutes/horurs
With Metamask on polygon/solana poker:
-connect metamask with site instantly, deposit in 2-5 seconds (no email, no user info required)
-play (RNG verified publicly)
-cash out in 2-5 seconds (site's coins balance public, no solvency questions)
I'd be surprised if there wasn't some legislation-type stuff coming for this, but it's a bigger game-changer than anything that's happened for online poker, ever.
Additionally, I'm sure you could provide liquidity/stake coins to get a % of the rake, as well as have a DAO where you you vote with your coins for new games, etc.
