Casinopirata.com Announces First Jackpot Winner PORTLAND, Ore., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Casinopirata.com Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CSIN - news; ''the Company'') is pleased to announce that it has paid out an $11,000 jackpot winner in their first week of operations. Casinopirata.com, a theme-based Casino and Sportsbook, is now offering Vegas-style casino games such as blackjack, roulette, pai-gow and craps along with wagering on professional sporting events such as the NFL, NBA, NHL, and Major League Baseball. The Company's web site is located at casinopirata.com. ''After just one week of operation we have seen a tremendous increase in visitors which is translating into active casino players. With NFL season approaching, our sportsbook could not have gone live at a more appropriate time. We expect to meet or exceed our 1999 earnings projections,'' stated Paul Stringer, President of Casinopirata.com. More and more, ''traditional'' gaming businesses are putting their weight behind online gaming. Old-fashioned gambling has become tremendously popular -- so popular, in fact, that Bad Bet author Timothy L. O'Brien observes: ''Judging by dollars spent, gambling is now more popular in America than baseball, the movies and Disneyland combined.'' What's the next market? The Internet of course. Now big, established companies are moving in. Playboy Ent B is only one big firm to take an interest in online gaming. Rumor has it that Microsoft is teaming up with Australian gaming tycoon Kerry Packer for a joint venture. Tony Cabot, an attorney specializing in gaming issues, says flatly, ''When you see Kerry Packer get together with Microsoft, you have to believe there is a future for this type of wagering.'' One of the ways the Company plans to differentiate itself from other casinos is by offering the site in multiple languages. ''We intend to aggressively pursue foreign markets such as China, Japan and Latin America,'' stated Paul Stringer, President.
