RIVAL LAUNCHES i-SLOTS

Interactive Version of Classic Slots Sure to Make a Huge Splash at GIGSE

MONTREAL, QC (May 12, 2006) – Rival Gaming is launching an extraordinary new online slot gaming software with unprecedented interactive features at the Global Interactive Gaming Summit and Expo (GIGSE). To be unveiled to the industry on May 16-18, at Montreal’s Palais des Congrès, i-Slots radically update the classic slot game by adding hugely entertaining extras such as animated video clips, bonus interactive mini-games and evolving storylines that unfold over the course of the game. Designed to give operators bold new ways to acquire, convert and retain players, i-Slots are the most original development to hit the casino suite in years.

“Many software developers have been claiming that their games are interactive,” said Scott Giesbrecht, Managing Director at Rival Gaming. “But when we looked at slots, we saw that we had a real opportunity to offer players something that was far more captivating- and more fun- than anything they’d ever seen.”

PDA Access to Reports, Mac Downloadable Software

Two other Rival innovations are sure to garner attention at GIGSE as well. The first is that all their casino software is now fully downloadable to Windows and Mac- a development that gives Rival licensees access to the estimated 15 million Mac owners worldwide. The other is that Rival now enables its operators to view their reports via Blackberry or other PDA- which means they can access their casino data from anywhere. The innovation that is sure to draw crowds to the Booth 331 at GIGSE, however, is the i-Slot, which will be showcased in all its thrilling detail at the booth.

“People are going to have to see it to believe it,” said Ken McCormack, VP Corporate Marketing at Rival. “Players still get to place their bets, spin and win- but now they get fun-to-play bonus games and character-based storylines. We’re talking about something that not only makes playing a single game far more entertaining- but one that’s going to keep players coming back for more.”
