RadRaptors Casino will entail multiple forms of gambling and entertainment. "The Dino" speaks of gen2: RadRaptors

RadRaptors by DinoPunks was founded by “The Dino”. “The Dino” is a professional trader by day and a Digital Art enthusiast by night.  He is an entrepreneur and spends almost all of his time working on various business strategies to promote investments.

Chris from NFT Calendar: What is the idea and concept of the Dino Casino? 

The Dino: The idea behind the Dino Casino is very simple.  Casinos have always been a large investment / large return asset that has a very steep entry.  It is very expensive to start and maintain a FIAT-funded casino.  We decided to investigate ways to enter the market while joining with our NFT holders as “investors” so they can have a smaller entry into a bustling market. 

We have made strong headway into the creation of our RadRaptors Casino which will entail multiple forms of gambling and entertainment.  This digital casino based on cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals will remain accessible to all, provably fair, and will provide a steady revenue stream to the holders.  Overall, the assets will flow down to RadRaptors owners and a hefty portion will go into funding and maintaining the DinoDAO as a whole.  With this revenue stream, the DAO members will be able to not only maintain the investment but grow and generate more fields to make sound investments.

Chris from NFT Calendar: What are the key differences between a DinoPunk and a RadRaptor?

The Dino: DinoPunks was an early dream of mine and I really enjoyed bringing them to the market.  These were our first creations in the Dino family and were only the start of our fun!  We wanted DinoPunks to set aside who was in this investment for the long haul versus the usual NFT quick traders.  Now that we have identified our true Dino Family Members (Holders) we are rewarding them with Two RadRaptors Each as Free Mints.  We hope to continue this tradition down the line of succession as we grow this family and chain of NFT.  We foresee RadRaptors being a smashing success and cannot wait to see what the future will hold.  Both NFTs will be available for use in our upcoming games and any staking.  We just wanted to show the ability of our artist by doing a different Dino twist for our second generation.

Chris from NFT Calendar: Can you simply explain what is meant by a RadRaptor being assigned to a faction that holds voting abilities?

The Dino: Without giving away too many surprises, I can say that there are different attributes that will decide which faction a RadRaptor is placed in.  Each faction will have its own channels and membership structure which will create a mini-community inside of our dino family.  We plan on having seasonal contests between the factions for prizes, along with utilizing and growing the skills of our member base.  Imagine a design contest for merchandise where the winning faction gets part of that merch for free or royalties from the sale.  We want to keep our holders happy, entertained, and invested as those are the keys to a successful project.

Chris from NFT Calendar: How can I mint a RadRaptor? What will be the launch price?

The Dino: Our website has information about the project and a Mint button that will bring you to our minting page.  The direct link for the minting page is mint.radraptors.io

The Launch Price for Radraptors will be 0.06 ETH. for Public Mint starting 10th December at 6 pm EST.  

Chris from NFT Calendar: Please share more about the team. How did you guys get together to form this unique NFT?

The Dino: The artist is a close friend of mine that I have known for years.  We got together and dreamed up the design for the original DinoPunks and really found our flow.  We decided that we would see who had a passion for the project and reward them for being a part of the family.  

We have a tight-knit family that has come from the community itself.  As we have grown, our dino team has grown as well.  It has been very interesting to see the relationships that have formed especially now that we are on our next phase!

Chris from NFT Calendar: You plan to launch a Dino DAO. Do you have a land sale or a gaming platform planned for the future?

The Dino: The income from our RadRaptors Casino will be integral in funding the DAO.  The gaming platform will come secondarily once ETH 2.0 is closer on the horizon.  We want to make sure we can provide a solid return on the investment using mainstream means/staking/airdrops and then we will move to alternative ways to earn with the same tokens.  We believe that all of these methods stacked together will provide a lucrative income stream for all Dinos.  This plan has been fundamentally utilized by other groups with great success, and we plan to expand on this exponentially.  This will be quite a fun ride!

Chris from NFT Calendar: Finally, you are waiting to switch to ETH 2.0 to launch the gaming platform. What are the advantages of the switch for a RadRaptor holder?

The Dino: ETH 2.0 has a major advantage over standard ETH, and that advantage is gas fees.  Every click we make in the current Ethereum ecosystem costs us fees as a community.  Most people do not realize that pushing contracts costs thousands of dollars and airdrops with our current model cost thousands as well.  These heavy costs are not money moving back into the community, and instead, most fees are burned by the network.
