How does the Intellectual Property License work?
In very general terms, the licensee / manufacturer pays Dirty Dog Gaming® an advance payment of royalties upon signing of the IP license agreement. This gives you exclusive rights to the licensed arcade game for a specified period of time. Your company then develops Gaming Commission-approved software, incorporates it into the cabinet and mechanical aspects of our arcade game, and submits the resulting slot machine product through the licensing process to convert the game into a legalized, gaming / slot machine. Once you start placing the slot machines into your customers’ casinos, daily royalties to Dirty Dog Gaming will begin to accrue. Those royalties are first applied against the advance, before any additional royalties are paid. Forgive the oversimplification, but rest assured that Dirty Dog Gaming’s owner has extensive experience in intellectual property licensing.
Caveats
The information in this web site is intended to provide a general description of our business.

We retain the right to reject any offer to license a game, and there is no agreement until in writing and signed by both parties. Nonetheless, we welcome your inquiries! Frank would be happy to talk with you about how we can shorten your slot machine development time, with an intellectual property license from Dirty Dog Gaming.
