Palace group mobile gambling subsidiary Zero36 expands

Zero36, the Palace online gambling group subsidiary powered by Microgaming and involved in the mobile gambling sector has announced the launch of its Spanish mobile casino service.

Zero36 Spanish Casino Games are now available for direct download either through the Spanish Zero36 website or through Zero36's Spanish WAP site when using any mobile Internet browser.

Zero36 "Play for Fun" games are additionally available for download through Movistar emoción (Telefonica) following the recently signed distribution contract between Telefonica (Spain) and Zero36.

With this latest expansion, Zero36 now offers a range of games in both English and Spanish, including Black-Jack, European Roulette, Video-Poker, various three and five reeled Slot-Machines, Scratch-Card and two additional progressive-jackpot games, all using Microgaming's Jackpot Network system.

Mobile gambling is one of the strongest growth markets because of its unique positioning at the intersection of the mobile telecommunications, media and entertainment industries. According to leading analyst house Juniper Research, the sector is expected to grow from nearly $2 billion in revenues in 2006, to greater than $23 billion in 2011.

Zero36 recently announced the development of a Location-Based Filtering System for use with mobile applications, enabling legal mobile access to mobile gambling and betting applications according to the user's geographic location.

Zero36 is currently exploring licensing options for mobile gambling operations throughout Spain's different regions, which have different gambling-related laws. Zero36's Location-Based Filtering System will enable legal mobile gambling according to the specific laws of the region where a mobile phone user is located.
