2. Introduction
 An experienced casino general manager and gaming
executive, David Schugar has more than 20 years of
experience in the gaming industry. In addition to his
experience as an industry association leader and
general manager, David Schugar has served as the
president of Equity Gaming, LLC, since 2005.
Dedicated to creating innovative live-action and
electronic gaming experiences, Equity Gaming, LLC,
currently has a range of games that offer players
engaging entertainment with regularly shifting odds.
For example, its Tug-O-War table game offers players
the opportunity to make wagers with odds ranging
from even money to three-to-one, depending upon
their wagering preference.

 Hence the player can regularly make wagers with a
high likelihood of winning to other wagers that win less
often but have higher payoffs.Thanks to those design
choices, players remain involved from beginning to
end, a hallmark of the company’s game design
strategy.
Equity Gaming has three such trademarked
innovations:
"Equity Play": A player’s wagers become more
valuable when he or she is more likely to win the
game. When that happens, the player can use this
value, which is a form of equity, to seize an
Opportunity! and take hold of The Lock without an
additional wager.

4. Conclusion
 "Opportunity!": A scenario during the game in
which a player can reasonably expect to achieve
positive results, the Opportunity gives the player a
chance to make an additional wager to hedge
their wager and secure a guaranteed positive
return. The Lock can improve his or her wagers
and position. Pop Up screens can be programed
to alert the player to these situations.
"The Lock": The Lock refers to a hedging wager
that a player makes to guarantee a win,
regardless of the outcome of a particular bet.
