Mark here are some of my thougths on the *software acquisition* just my thougths, no inside information no rumor.........
SBET has ToteMaster and TurfCast *online horse racing wagering* and apparently CSIN is looking for *online horse racing wagering*
if you go to the website for CSIN's Investor Relations firm IR describes the company CSIN is negotiating with, see below, and then below that look at the online horse racing information in the old press release from SBET,
one could conclude that SBET has the virtual horse racing software that CSIN is looking for???? I know SBET has some good proprietarty gaming software, however the stock price has been headed south for quite some time and is recently 45 cents.
from www.wvfg.com the website of World Vision Financial Group the Investor Relations firm for CSIN;
"CASINO PIRATA.COM has begun discussions to acquire a company that has developed proprietary Internet gaming software. This new acquisition when completed will have turn key Internet gaming technology that will enhance any current gaming site. The new software we are acquiring creates virtual reality horse racing, where a player can train their own horse, then race that virtual horse at the virtual track. The software has been tested and we are getting a good response with this development in online gaming. Horse wagering on a global basis is a multi billion dollar industry. We feel that with this technology, we will easily become an industry leader in this fast growing horse wagering business. "It will take online gaming to a whole new dimension," stated Paul Stringer, President."
