Hi BRM and all,
Did anyone notice this on the Business Wire? Reading between the lines, it appears to be a validation of GLOW's approach to web-based gaming as well. Notice the length of time that they spent in "beta-test"....

ST. JOHN'S, Antigua--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 1998--PlayStar Corporation (OTC BB:PSCKF)
PlayStar Corporation Announced today the Grand Opening of their first Internet Casino system on December 7th, 1998.
PlayStar's Blackjack, Roulette, Video Poker, Slot Machines and Baccarat will all be available for real money gambling, with great prizes, giveaways, fun and excitement. The Casino is operated by Antigua Casino & Sportsbook Ltd., at www.antigua.org.
The Grand Opening will feature special giveaways, including $100 cash for every 100th player, and $1,000 for every 1,000th. In addition, the Casino games all feature great odds, generous payouts, and exciting, multimedia play.
PlayStar's Casino games have been available for live play since September 14th. The Company used the pre-Grand Opening period to refine their customer service organization, manage Internet traffic, and fine-tune their equipment to provide the best service for Casino players. During the period, the Casino performed virtually flawlessly, with system Casino availability in excess of 99 percent.
PlayStar is a world leader in developing interactive games using Java technology, allowing Internet surfers to play right from their web browser. "The beauty of web-based Java games is you're not locked
into a downloaded product that can't change," said PlayStar consultant Julius Patta. "Our Casino system is available on the Internet, accessible in minutes, anytime. Plus, we can easily update our products to keep them fresh and interesting, something that most of our competitor's technologies are incapable of. Our Casino games are truly the spirit of the Web."
In keeping with the universal global nature of the Internet, PlayStar's Casino games are available on a variety of platforms, including Windows 95 and 98, Apple Macintosh, Sun Microsystems, and many others. The Casino games are available around the Globe, and players can play for free, or, where allowed, they can enjoy the thrill of real money gambling.
More information on PlayStar is available at the Company's Internet website at www.playstar.com.
