Live chats are a good idea... not sure if there more trouble than there worth though with muppets registering on the forum just to fuck them up....

maybe a forum post style like chat would work better than a chat room stlye one.

ok back to the casino idea....

Poker Games software= $5000+ for custom made or $10,000+ for standard made multiplayer one

and there still might have to have a gaming licence because of hosting it not sure and that would be $10,000 and a seperate games server would be needed at $200 a month.

so i think doing my own is a no goer

will look for other options though
