LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1998--Players Network (OTC BB:PNTV), the first digital, 24-hour gaming and entertainment network which specializes in producing television programming to serve the gaming industry, announced the introduction of their new line of all-digital, full-motion video interactive kiosk designed for casino/hotels.
