Wow this is very cool! I wonder if people could possibly earn credits to play these games via something like this Proposal To Bring Non Intrusive Optional Ads To Steemit I think advertisers paying to be a part of a small optional feed that allows users to watch videos to gain tokens that they could use to try to win at certain games (with no need to ever lose any money) would be incredibly valuable. It would allow the developers to have a pool of money to use to payout from and also redistribute the money advertisers would use to promote their content in the optional game/advertisement section.
I'm really excited to see if this would work, as I believe we do need ad revenue pumped into steemit, but not need anything that people don't personally want to see. And we would not be in debt to a company and could still have the developers be solely in charge of all the decision without being in anyone elses pockets (hopefully that makes sense)
