Dear Readers,

Well it's official, I'll be covering the Casino Affiliate Force conference in the Bahamas this December as well as the "International Symposium on Internet and Wireless Gambling Law and Management". Whoo hoo! What an excuse to get out of the cold and get into some serious snorkling action! I'm looking forward to meeting anyone else who is making their way to this way cool island.

In the meantime, some nifty things here at Casinomeister. I've asked all of my subscribers to confirm their subscription to Casinomeister's Newsletter. You should have received something in your in-box pertaining to this. Please confirm your subscription since "confirmed opt-in" is quickly becoming the industry standard. Most ISPs prefer this form of subscriber approval today. And in the near future, ISPs may require confirmed opt-in subscribers. If you are confirmed, you will be assured that your ISP is not blocking this entertaining, authorative, wonderfully enlightening newsletter.

Faithfully yours,

Bryan

A boy is watching television and hears the name Jesus Christ. Wondering who Jesus Christ is, he asks his mother. She tells him that she is busy, and to ask his father. His father is also busy so he asks his brother. His brother kicks him out of the room because he doesn't have time to answer his stupid questions.

So he goes downtown and sees a bum in an alley. He asks the bum, "Who's Jesus Christ?"

The bum replies, "Well, I am."

The boy, not believing the bum, asks for proof. So the bum takes the boy into the bar down the street and takes him inside. They walk up to the bar and the bartender exclaims, "Jesus Christ, are you in here again!?"

As of November 25th, Paypal will automatically decline gaming transactions and will therefore no longer be available as a method of purchase at Colosseum Casino, Vegas Joker Casino, Grand Hotel Casino, and Vegas Slot Casino. There is absolutely no need to panic however! They offer a wide range of methods of purchase that will certainly make up for this loss. For instance, Firepay and Neteller are two of the safest and most private options whereby neither your credit card details nor your payment history will be disclosed. Alternatively, you can choose "900 Pay" which they guarantee is not only popular, but is also one of the easiest to use payment methods. If you wish to be ahead of the flock, they suggest you to try PrePaid ATM, a unique hybrid between an ATM card, a debit card and a Money Transfer Card! Clearly, only at the Vegas Slot Casino can you reap wealth and success in one go!

Still not convinced, if your first ever purchase at one of these casinos is of at least $100 and was made using FIREPAY, PREPAID ATM or NETELLER they will give you $20 absolutely free!!

Maybe this is what got Don all riled up.

In response to your question regarding progressive dollar amounts from a discontinued in-house progressive slot program, we appreciate that we were asked for a statement on this matter and are happy to address these concerns.

Many in-house progressives in Gold Pirate Slot and Caribbean Poker were discontinued on July 1, 2002 to allow for the initiation of the multi-linked progressive program. This new program is designed to offer players outstanding jackpot sizes that will compliment any land-based casino. At the time of introduction, casinos using Boss Media software had an individual progressive. For accounting reasons, the starting value of the new multi-linked progressive had to be set at a fresh starting value with all participating casinos joining equally. In addition to accounting restraints, it was not possible to add an individual progressive to a main progressive for license agreement reasons.

With the absence of precedence regarding the closing of one in-house progressive to then begin a new value added multi-linked progressive on the exact machine or game type, it was thought at the time of closing the first program that players would clearly recognize that the new progressive platform would enhance their over all enjoyment of the games as the jackpots would grow substantially quicker. To this end, we believed that in order to enhance our gaming products and begin offering our gaming customers a truly better progressive structure that it was vital to start the new program with all casinos joining from the very beginning as this would be in the best interest of the players.

However, thanks to player concerns and notations on this matter, we do recognize our oversight as to the perception of the players that removal of the old progressed values could be construed as misappropriation of such values. Therefore, Boss Media and our licensees announce the following course of action for the benefit our customers:

a) By Friday November 29, 2002, all Boss Media casinos that opted to join the new multi-linked progressive program will post on their websites the exact value of the exact stated value that was removed on the date the progressive switch occurred. The value presented is the total progressive amount less the casinos initial seed of the Gold Pirates slot program and Caribbean Poker program in that selected casino.

b) To assure the public of our accountability, Boss Media will openly invite PriceWaterhouseCoopers and all gaming commissions, of which Boss Media is an approved software supplier, to examine our logs to ensure that we are stating the correct values to the public.

c) To ensure that loyal players of a particular casino had the chance to win the discontinued progressed amount, we will seek and find all players that won the first jackpot during the new program in each casino. The first winner of the Caribbean Royal Flush Jackpot or Gold Pirates .25, .50, $1 and $5 denominations in each casino will be paid an additional win amounting to the exact funds that were removed from that casino. Specifically, this amount is the stated progression in the game at the time of the removal less the casino's seed amount. (The seed amount and new progressed funds were already paid to the winning player.)

d) In the event a player has not won a jackpot to this point in a particular casino's Gold Pirate .25 .50, $1 or $5 machine or the Caribbean Poker Royal Flush Jackpot, then that casino will post on its website a notation to the public stating the additional funds that may be won if a player should win on the selected Gold Pirate denomination or the Caribbean Poker Royal Flush Jackpot.

e) To further assure the public of our accountability, Boss Media will openly invite PriceWaterhouseCoopers and all gaming commissions of which Boss Media is an approved software supplier to examine our gaming logs to ensure that the players that are due the additional win amounts are paid and that the gaming was genuine.

f) Lastly, as is common in online gaming, each casino will post the winners (public screen name only) on their website. These names will remain public for 30 days.

Boss Media wishes to thank our licensees and players for their understanding regarding our unintentional oversight.

Kind regards,
