Maybe, he can pitch this project to someone he knows who has the funds to open a working casino. These days, hard to rely over the net as most people will encounter scammers instead of genuine investors. But if is in no hurry to get one, just let the thread be active and see where it goes.
But for fruitful operation, he really needs someone who can dedicate some resources to keep the business alive and going. Otherwise, run contests or races that can entice some players to participate with.
This Project could be considered as a full-time job, and right now I'm busy as hell with my real-life job, so, sadly i can't dedicate time to this project right now.
Maybe i the future i will work on the UI to make something more modern, another change that i would like to do is to modify the provably fair engine for something more simple, and it would be nice to add more games like crash, mines and black jack.
But for all those changes i need time.
