In this episode of Blocklayer Podcast, Kenzi Takahashi sits down with Miles Anthony, Founder of Decentral Games — a project creating on-chain casino experiences designed around aligned incentives, self-custody, and delegated access to yield-bearing metaverse assets.

Originally launched in closed beta in September 2019, Decentral Games has expanded into a full suite of titles including poker, blackjack, roulette, backgammon, and slots. Miles shares the real story behind building play-and-earn poker in the metaverse: what it takes to keep a game fun and sustainable, how the team navigated product-market fit, what they learned along the way, and where he thinks Web3 gaming is heading next.
