Warren Cloud is
reported dead off coast of Spain.
The most successful of the Realtime
Gaming software powered online casino
operators has died of what is reported
to be a heart attack while on his boat
off the shores of Spain.
Warren Cloud's death
comes as a surprise considering he was
thought to be just in his thirties and
he leaves a widow and one child. Warren
Cloud was also known as Oliver Curran in
his online activities where his casinos
were of dubious reputation. They
included such names as America Online,
Lucky Coin and Crystal Palace.
It is unlikely Warren
Cloud's death will reveal a majority of
teary-eyed onlookers since the casinos
were well-known for freezing player
accounts without giving acceptable
reason for taking such action, amongst
other player-unfriendly approaches his
casinos were known to implement over the
last decade.
Realtime Gaming
software leases to hundreds of online
casinos of which most notable are the
casinos in the Warren Cloud stable and
perhaps Windows casino which was very
big around the turn of the century.
Warren Cloud death if
it was a heart attack certainly lends
reason to the assumption that there must
have been some heavy partying going on
the good ship Cloud and its not a big
secret what paid for not only the party
but also the boat and that being the
losses and unpaid winnings of players
who unknowingly walked into one of Mr.
Cloud's virtual casinos. The casinos
actually did offer fair-odds games they
just didn't pay people who tried to cash
out with large amounts of their
winnings. *Something I have warned
people about for years and is in fact
the basis for my
cash-backed
guarantee.
