Call it remote gambling or online casino gambling, the bottom line is that the Home Gambling Network's (HGN) CEO, Mel Molnick, has obtained another patent from the European Patent Office which enables him to offer live, real time casino gaming via online computer systems, satellite, and cable.  In short, if the betting is wireless, Molnick's patented technology will be able to accommodate it.

What is patented is the remote wagering technology provided that fully enables remote wagering without visiting a casino (online or land-based), betting shop, racing track or any business that sells lottery tickets.  Rather, using electronic fund transfers, bettors can place bets via online and/or satellite wireless devices.  Molnick has not given word on how exactly he will implement the technology through licensees, although it is expected to be used across the board in the current online and wireless capacities now available.

What makes this technology different than traditional online casino gambling is that everything is done in real time.  In other words, rather than using computer generated odds and online casino software, the Home Gambling Network provides a real time casino where live attendants conduct real time games the player can view through an online webcam or cable television channel, which seems to be the most preferred method as of yet.

Players may recall seeing some online casinos offering live real time casino dealers through their software platforms, which is essentially what Molnick's patent exclusively holds the rights to.  This is why Molnick brought up patent infringement litigation when several online gambling sites were found using his patented technology without being licensed by Home Gambling Network to do so.  Now, if any remote online gambling destination (even those in Europe) seeks to offer live, real time casino gambling, they must do so at the discretion of Las Vegas based, i2Corp., which is Molnick's parent company to HGN.
