Your wish is my command :-) Assuming that an appropriate marketing plan will be put into place, I see no reason why HP shouldn’t turn into a very lucrative cash cow for Sungold. I’m stressing marketing because the I-gaming industry works on the assumption that every well placed marketing dollar returns $5 in net profits. Having followed the evolution of the I-gaming industry for the last 3 years, I see a number of key factors that gives HP an edge over other I-gaming operations: - HP’s 25% house take or handle is 5 times higher than the industry average of 5%. - HP does not require any player skill, which puts it on the same level as slot machines, still by far the most popular game in cyber space. - HP offers a progressive jackpot, the lotteries claim to fame, but with the added advantage of instant gratification versus having to wait days or weeks for the actual draw. Microgaming, one of the top I-gaming software houses, has recently added a progressive jackpot feature to some of it’s casinos, which resulted in very impressive increases in casino traffic. - HP will also be available in a land based version that can be sold / licensed to casinos and racetracks. - One other very important factor is HP’s multi-language feature.

Comments about HP, I received by email or PM, seem to support that theory since I have yet to find one single Sungold shareholder who was or is a “regular” at other I-gaming sites. As for myself, I have invested in numerous I-gaming companies over the years and I have yet to spend my first I-gaming dollar …
