Omicron is Negotiating to Acquire a Bingo Software Company BELLINGHAM, Wash., Jul 13, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) -- OmicronTechnologies, Inc. (OTC BB: OGPS) entered into formal negotiations with a private company to acquire its wholly owned subsidiary -- engaged in the development of "next generation" BINGO software for Internet gaming Web sites. Internet BINGO business is in the early stages of its development, as there are very few active gaming Web sites that provide the opportunity to play the game of BINGO for money. Analysts familiar with the worldwide gaming business predict that gross revenues from Internet BINGO will exceed $4 Billion annually over the next two years. The unique BINGO software under development will not require the downloading of software and will not use computer generated numbers to play. This BINGO Web site will display, in real-time using a JAVA-based camera system, a "Live Bingo Hall" from three different angles showing the hall itself, the number board and the BINGO balls as they come out of the machine. With an average of 100 people playing per hour, the gross revenues generated would exceed $26 Million. Omicron will receive 40% of the gross revenues from such a BINGO Web site and its operating costs are relatively low. A 50% winner payout will be made with an additional 10% holdback accumulating for special "bonus" games. It will take approximately three months to complete the programming of the BINGO Web site -- followed by beta testing. Omicron believes that the completion of this proposed new acquisition will diversify and greatly enhance the company's efforts to become established as a preferred supplier of online gaming systems and a leader in the Internet gaming industry. Some of Omicron's competitors are : Bingo.com Inc. (OTC BB: BIGG), Bingo & Gaming International Inc. (OTC BB: BING), Casinolive.com (OTC BB: YBET), Cryptologic (TSE:CRY), GLC Limited (Nasdaq: GLXW), Starnet Communications International Inc., GIC Global Entertainment Corp. (OTC BB: GGNC) and YouBet.com (Nasdaq: UBET). Omicron Technologies, Inc. is in the business of acquisition, research and development, and marketing of leading edge technologies for the Aerospace, Telecommunications, Defense, Consumer Electronics and Internet-based business concepts. Through the combined strategy of focusing on marketing niches and speedy development of its proprietary technologies, Omicron hopes to gain significant market penetration in these areas.
