NEW SPIN3 BACCARAT FOR MOBILE PLAYERS

9 March 2007

Classic card game added to mobile offering

Players using the Spin3 - Microgaming mobile gambling offering will have a new game to play this week as the popular Baccarat game is introduced to a growing inventory.

The game is now available to all Spin3 customers utilising the GameWire platform for their mobile casino systems, and offers the same high quality graphics and outstanding sound as other games in the suite.

With a maximum jackpot of nine times the player’s original bet, Baccarat is a game of chance and skill. It is a table game played with a single standard deck of 52 cards, with three types of bets and high game odds. The objective of the game is to predict whose hand, the Banker’s or the Player’s, will be closer to the value of nine. Gamers can also bet on the possibility of a tie.

Matti Zinder, CEO at Spin3 said, "The addition of the casino classic Baccarat represents yet another step from Spin3 to provide the full casino experience on the mobile phone, and compliments our existing video poker, progressive slot, roulette and scratch card games.

"As we witness greater adoption of mobile gambling around the world, we notice that it is the casino classics that are driving this growth, simply because consumers are already familiar with them. Particularly in Asia, Baccarat is one of the most popular games, and Spin3 has adapted this game specifically for this market."

Already extremely popular in land venues in Las Vegas, 2006 saw almost $7.6 billion wagered on Baccarat, a 28.3 percent increase from the previous year. That translated into a gaming win of $835.8 million for the casinos, a 25.6 percent increase from 2005. This massive success suggests the game is a perfect contender for the transition to mobile.

Spin3 also offers Ki-B cards – unique electronic, credit-card sized devices that provide an innovative and easy way to deliver mobile gaming content directly to players.
