YPSH : Dropping by today is Paul Gold, Supervising Producer for Digital Leisure, a privately held
developer responsible for The Casino in PS Home. Welcome to YourPSHome Paul.
PG : It's great to be here.
YPSH : First, congrats on getting the Casino published in PS Home recently. I'm sure we have lots to talk about there, but before we get into that, let's give our readers a little background on you and Digital Leisure. I think for most PS Home users, The Casino is their first introduction to the work of Digital Leisure. I think they would be surprised to know that Digital Leisure has been around now for over 14 years?
PG : Thanks! The Casino has been development for some time, so it's great to finally see it live, and everyone having a good time playing at the tables and socializing in the space. Yes, Digital Leisure has been in the interactive gaming business for almost 15 years. It all began in the summer of 1997 with the notion of bringing back some of the greatest classic arcade games to the latest consoles and PCs.

Recently, we caught up with Jeff Posey, Founder and President of Hellfire Games to ask him how things went for Novus Prime's first year and its latest expansion, Vindication.
YPSH : Hi Jeff! Good to see you back here at YourPlaystationHome! Congratulations on your first year with Novus Prime! It’s been a year now (December 2nd, 2010) since Hellfire Games brought us Novus Prime in PS Home. Let's start by looking back at how things went for Hellfire Games in this first year. What would you say was your proudest accomplishment since the introduction of Novus Prime?
JP : Thanks for having me! I would say our proudest accomplishments are the multiplayer matchmaking features in Novus Prime and PlayStation Home Hold 'Em. It’s really easy to jump right into our multiplayer games.
YPSH : As the year progressed, what responses did you get from the PS Home community?
JP : We’ve got a really passionate community of players who love Novus Prime.
