(PR Wires) PRW: Virtual Gaming Enterprises, Inc. Announces The Grand Op PRW: Virtual Gaming Enterprises, Inc. Announces The Grand Opening of Vegas Book.com ESCONDIDO, Calif., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtual Gaming Enterprises, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VGAM) today announced the grand opening of Vegas Book, a Full Service off-shore gaming operation featuring a Live Sports Book that handles both toll-free phone wagers along with Internet Casinos. Vegas Book is now fully operational and can be accessed 24 hours a day either on the Internet at www.vegasbook.com or toll free through our private, dedicated, encrypted satellite network directly to knowledgeable, highly trained gaming personnel. Sports enthusiasts may wager on events globally including American Football, European Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Boxing and Soccer with the latest in odds, spreads, parleys and specialty bets available or visit any of the Internet Casinos on the site. "The operational aspects of Vegas Book are under the auspices of arguably one of the world's foremost sports gaming authorities, Joe Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher established one of the first off shore books, and subsequently became a successful and valued consultant and adviser to the off shore and Internet gaming industry," Mr. Virgil Williams, President and CEO of Virtual Gaming Enterprises, Inc., stated. "What is truly revolutionary is our ability to offer qualified players a unique pay out procedure utilizing their own secured card. Specifically, players establish an account and receive an International Business Corporation (IBC) registered with The Commonwealth of Dominica. The player's personal IBC automatically establishes a bank account and is issued a secured card from Dominica's largest private bank. All gaming or other activity then originates from the personal IBC, which has identity and privacy protection under the Secrecy Laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica. Further, all the player's monies reside in the IBC's bank account, not the casino, adding an increased level of security and safety while allowing for immediate withdrawal transfer of funds," Mr. Williams added. The player's IBC secured card is welcomed at all Virtual Gaming's Casinos both on or linked to Vegas Book. These IBC secured cards may, of course, also be used for a variety of non-gaming purposes. Interested parties can obtain complete details and apply on the Vegas Book web site or by calling 1-888-765-9061. Privacy, security and safety have long been major concerns within the gaming industry and we expect our unique approach will have great appeal to both traditional and Internet gamblers. The online gaming market is projected to grow from $535 million to more than $10 billion in three years (source: Data Monitor) and our company is strategically positioned to benefit from the predicted revenue explosion. "An aggressive multimedia-advertising program is currently being implemented," Mr. Williams, concluded. Virtual Gaming Enterprises, Inc. is in the business of gaming on the Internet, a Gaming Licensee under agreement with the Commonwealth of Dominica (PRNewswire July 7, 1999) and owns a 20% interest in www.vegasbook.com.
