 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, October 5, 1999 Castello Casino Corp. ("Castello") is
 pleased to announce that the shares of the company are now fully registered with the
 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under Section 12 of the 1934

 There are other substantial benefits in becoming a U.S. reporting company. The U.S.
 Congress passed the Capital Markets Efficiency Act of 1996 and pursuant to this law
 most states allow secondary trading of securities registered under the 1934 Act. Also,
 to be listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Exchange a company must have its stock
 registered.
 
 Castello is seeking a merger-acquisition (RTO) with a private company seeking to "go
 public" and wanting to enhance its potential for financing. The company must have good
 management and quantum growth potential. Castello offers a possible tax advantage,
 large shareholder base in the U.S., Canada and Europe and share price visibility in the
 public market place.

 The Company has been able, in the past, to raise funds for the acquisition, participation
 or development of business opportunities. While past ability does not assure financing
 success, the Company believes that it will be able to recapitalize itself over the next
 twelve months and evaluate its options for the future by studying and evaluating
 corporate business plans of private companies wishing to "go public1' on a reverse
 takeover basis (RTO). The business plan must address Y2K issues and either be
 compliant or have a plan in place. Castello intends to identify these private companies
 with the assistance of financial consultants, accounting companies, the corporate finance
 area of banking institutions, investment banking firms and advertising in the financial
 press. we believe that a private company would wish to merge on the basis of a reverse
 takeover (RTO) because of better potential for financing, possible tax advantage, larger
 shareholder base and share price availability in the public marketplace which avails to
 the investor the ease of buying and selling corporate shares. The potential merger
 partners will be evaluated by these financial institutions, in conjunction with Castello and
 its financial and legal advisors. The Company maintains significant contacts in the
 U.S.A., Canada, Venezuela and other areas and believes it will benefit from its
 experience in locating and capitalizing on a new viable business opportunity.
