The Boss Media development team would continue with building the games, and the server systems would be built by Medstr\u00f6ms Media AB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To report on the player and game statistics, Medstr\u00f6ms Media used Microsoft Access to replicate the game server&#8217;s Sybase database, which proved to be a quick, but limited solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The MS Access tools were tied to our network so they could only be used from the office in Antigua. Hence, it was impossible to white-label.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They would solve this by building a back office system called Pit Boss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Microsoft tools: .ASP and IIS, Henrik created Pit Boss as a new component of the system. He eliminated the scalability problem by accessing the Sybase DB directly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Server) I setup was accessible for everyone with the correct username and password. We wrote a pretty cool reporting package on it where you could drill down to the players transaction level and monitor your casino in real-time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pit Boss was a great solution solution that provided a comprehensive set of management tools for back-office staff, white label operators and stakeholders. It would continue to be developed over many years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ee00337\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ee00337\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-ee00337{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 calc(25% - var(--stk-column-gap,0px) * 2 \/ 3 ) !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ee00337-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ee00337-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-307d556\" id=\"page-list\" data-block-id=\"307d556\"><style>.stk-307d556{margin-bottom:0px !important}<\/style><h6 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Page List<\/h6><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/crownstar.com\/crownstar\/interview-henrik-sandin\/\" title=\"Interview- Henrik Sandin\">Interview First Page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-page-list has-small-font-size\"><li class=\"wp-block-pages-list__item\"><a class=\"wp-block-pages-list__item__link\" href=\"https:\/\/crownstar.com\/crownstar\/interview-henrik-sandin\/interview-henrik-sandin-boss-media\/\">Interview &#8211;

It was called Gold Club Casino, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldclubcasino.com\/\">www.goldclubcasino.com<\/a>, and was to be licensed and hosted in Antigua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in 1997, Boss Media set up shop in Antigua as Boss Casinos. A colleague of Henrik\u2019s, Henrick Widov, was dispatched to set up a datacenter in Antigua, to host the servers and to connect them to the internet, which he did. Office space was found in the famed Woods center in Antigua<strong>.<\/strong> Computers and network were installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, during Christmas 1997, Henrick Widov wanted to return to Sweden. Henrik Sandin thought he knew enough about computer systems now to be able to take on the challenge. So, he moved to Antigua and got to grips with the situation there. Eventually, he took over the whole operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All went well and their first complete online casino- goldclubcasino.com &#8211; was online on 12<sup>th<\/sup> December, 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henrick liked Antigua and decided to stay there.
