As the Founder, Chairman, President, and CEO of KSN Gaming Inc., I am thrilled to embark on a joint venture with SCCG Management that will bring BooRay! to the masses, poised to revolutionize the biggest gambling card game in sports and entertainment.
The Spark of a Vision
My journey began in an unexpected setting, amidst a high-stakes game of BooRay! with basketball stars Rajon Rondo, John Wall, and Draymond Green. The tab had run up to $9.2 million, a clear indication that BooRay! had captured the imagination of these elite athletes. My lawyer, H. Stephen Brown, the first editor of the American Bar Association’s Franchise Law Journal, pointed out the obvious: “Kahari, you don’t need a feasibility study because you already have proof of concept.” This was the pivotal moment that set me on my path.
Building the Brand
The next phase of my journey involved introducing BooRay! to influential figures across various industries. Teaching Chris “Gotti” Lorenzo, the co-founder of Murder Inc. Records and manager of poker legend Phil Ivey, how to play BooRay! with quarters was a crucial step. Witnessing Ivey’s excitement about BooRay!’s potential further validated my vision. Gotti’s advice to “go protect yourself, Kahari, because you’ve got something with BooRay!” was the impetus for securing the game’s future.
To bring my vision to life, I enlisted the talents of Sean Moloney and Scott Scrivner to create the BooRay! logo. Legal protections were secured internationally, both in French and English, by John Morant Cone, a renowned intellectual property attorney and adjunct professor at The Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University. With these foundational elements in place, BooRay! was ready to take the next step.
Spreading the Word
My efforts to popularize the game didn’t stop at branding and legalities. Through a WhatsApp video call, Ryan Salud, son of Rex “Wakee” Salud Former Manager Manny “PAC-MAN” Pacquiao, quickly learned how to play BooRay!. Recognizing the need for a soundtrack to the game, I collaborated with Grammy Award-winning producer Errol “E-Poppi” McCalla, known for his work with Beyoncé and Missy Elliott, to create the BooRay! song. This anthem would ensure that players around the world would know it’s time to shuffle the deck, deal the cards, and ante up to the biggest gambling card game in sports and entertainment.
Gaining Momentum
My vision continued to gain traction when Cris Proler, a fourth-generation scrap metal recycler and grandson of the late Israel “Izzy” Proler Inventor of the Automatic Car Crusher “The Prolerizer”, introduced BooRay! to Daniel Dienst, Vice Chairman of Tactical Opportunities at Authentic Brands Group. Dienst’s enthusiasm was evident when he FaceTimed Shaquille O’Neal during our meeting, solidifying my status as “The Big Homie” and affirming that BooRay! is set to become a major player in the gambling world.
A New Era for Gambling
With the backing of SCCG Management, BooRay! is ready to take its place alongside classic games like Blackjack, Poker, and Baccarat. Our partnership aims to bring BooRay! to a global audience, transforming it into a household name in both sports and entertainment. As we prepare to launch BooRay! on an international scale, one thing is clear: BooRay! is poised to change the landscape of gambling forever.
