Gambling tokens
By gambling tokens we generally mean tokens born out of gambling ICOs. Some of these are app-coins that can be used for gambling on specific platforms. Others are used as a way for token holders to receive dividends from the gambling platform.

Definitions
Market cap – ICO amount raised per token sold * total number of tokens
This is the theoretical market cap of the token at the end of it’s ICO.
The total number of tokens is the total for the entire project, not just those tokens sold in the ICO. So if a project sold 7 million tokens for $1 each and created another 3 million tokens for themself, then this market cap would be $10 million.
ICO amount raised per token sold = $1
Total number of tokens = 10,000,000
Therefore
$1 * 10,000,000 = $10,000,000
Tokens do not maintain that market cap once they are traded on the open market, this is why we also record the next item
Market cap – first listed
This is the market cap of the token once it has been traded on the open market and listed on CoinMarketCap.
Return On Investment (ROI)
This only tracks the value of the token per unit. It does not include any additional tokens that token holders might receive as dividends or in profit sharing.
