[Wolves] Linux in pub machines

sorts of trivia, action, card games etc.

This is nothing new. All JPM machines have a Unix based OS on all of their
machines. I used to work for JPM doing the AWPs, SWPs, Club and Bingo
machines. All the code behind was either Assembler or C.

> Wine powered windows games, or available as open source?

I don't know in this particular case, but I doubt they are windows based.
They will never be open source, due to the extreme secrecy gaming companies
have over the odds on their payouts. Theorectically I am still bound by the
confidentiality terms in my old contract, even though I left JPM in 1998.
