In this interview with CalvinAyre.com’s Stephanie Raquel, Pariekshit Maadishetti explains how artificial intelligence gives operators an edge over competition.
Artificial intelligence is oftentimes seen as a catalyst in the battle between man and machine. But what if AI could actually give operators an edge over their competitors?
India, for example, is experiencing a “dawn of game development.” The Asian country is currently the 18th largest game market by revenue, and the growth shows no signs of stopping any time soon. However, this also means that there is a fierce competition among operators to bring the latest games—particularly card games such as online rummy—to the market.
Online rummy, a game with a goal of melding 13 cards into sets and sequences, was declared as a game of skill by the Supreme Court of India in 2015, prompting many licensed online gambling operators to start offering online games based on the 13-card rummy.
One such website is Taj Rummy.
But unlike other professional rummy gaming websites, Taj Rummy’s platform is powered by artificial intelligence.
Grid Logic Software, the company behind Taj Rummy, made use of the AI as the website’s “unique selling point.”
“When we launched in 2012, we looked at various providers on the market… We had the international experience, so we said, what are we doing new? So the unique selling point was lacking, and we, being a developer, we looked at various other options and saw there were disconnections in between the game, and to actually merge and try to save the game of the customer, we tried to introduce a kind of artificial intelligence and smart connection,” Grid Logic Software’s Pariekshit Maadishetti told CalvinAyre.com.
The artificial intelligence, according to Maadishetti, allows players to save their games in emergency cases, like losing their internet connection.
“[If] you get disconnected, our system will keep your games alive,” the executive said. “And by any chance, if a customer is playing opposite to you… the artificial intelligence will come into picture to save your game.”
