LIVEBETTING ONLINE LAUNCHES AT GALA AND EUROBET

6 June 2008

Top quality technology deployed in new Live Casino


Superior quality video streaming (see the demo at http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/galacoral/33509/) sets the Internet live gambling scene afire this week as UK gambling giants Gala Casinos.co.uk and sister company Eurobet.com expand into this competitive sector with the launch of Live Casino.

The platform enables players to sit at their favourite table games and play roulette, blackjack or baccarat in real time, with real life dealers. High resolution television quality, coupled with the high frames per second functionality ensures that game play is fluid and the audio is clear enough to allow players to chat with dealers instantaneously as they would in a real casino.

Players at the blackjack and baccarat tables can watch the cards being shuffled and dealt in front of them and see new decks of cards being brought to the table by the Pit Boss. Players can view the croupier spinning the roulette wheel and the strategically placed cameras offer a variety of table viewing options, adding to the overall player experience.

Opting for the full screen option is another feature that players can select, including on-screen statistics to aid game play and assist with future bets. Table limits have been set to make the service accessible to all players with amounts starting from GBP1/EUR1 and increasing to GBP1,500/EUR1,500 and a monthly reload bonus of GBP25/EUR25. For higher rollers, there is a VIP blackjack table with a minimum stake requirement of GBP25/EUR25.

Players on Eurobet.com can enjoy a selection of 15 major languages and seven currencies.

Commenting on the launch, Daniel Phillips, Gala's gaming director said, "We are constantly striving to offer the best possible game choice and player experience for our customers. Live Casino is such an interesting and unique concept to our portfolio that it's already proven hugely successful with our existing casino players."

Gala is likely to be a formidable competitor in the livebetting sector, as it is one of the UK's largest betting groups with over 1 800 retail trading outlets in the UK and an E-Commerce division responsible for the development, management and operation of the Group's E Commerce UK and International activities. Gala Coral is the first company to receive full GamCare accreditation across its for UK divisions - Coral, Gala Bingo, Gala Casino and E-Commerce.

The Gala Coral Group employs over 19 000 people across all of the Group's five divisions - Coral, Gala Bingo, Gala Casino, E-Commerce, and International.
