PHOENIX-- July 14, 2005--Pegasus Gaming Corp. (''Pegasus'') (Pink Sheets:PGGG)
(http://www.pegasusgaming.com), is pleased to announce that the company has completed negotiations to acquire
the licensing rights to a mobile gaming platform, which can be seamlessly integrated
into its I-gaming operating platform.
The platform will support play for cash as well as play for fun. With the recent
approval in Nevada of the use of mobile gaming communication devices from public
areas in Nevada Casinos, it would appear that internet accessed gaming, can come
out of the closet and be introduced into mainstream applications. With the advent
of a younger generation of players, who are accustomed to using video applications
for entertainment and with an increase in entertainment spending, this section
of the gaming market would appear to be poised for a dramatic volume increase.
Industry analyst Juniper Research, has forecast that the mobile gambling industry
could reach US $16 billion in revenues by 2008 fueled by the more than 1.7 billion
mobile phone users, or more than 25% of the world population.
The majority of mobile cellular phones with Internet / WAP access, manufactured
by Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE - News), Motorola (NYSE:MOT - News), Nokia (NYSE:
NOK - News), Samsung, Sharp amongst other manufacturers will be able to access
the mobile gaming platform.
The mobile gaming platform will be offered to licensees as an option to the core
product and will therefore generate royalty income from the licensees' client
base.
Mr. David Cheng, President & CEO commented. "When the company business plan
was prepared in 2004, this area of the market was not significant in overall business
volume. The request we have received from interested license purchasers was such
that we felt that this option would become a value added platform that would complement
the existing core products. The application has integrated very well into our
existing technology and we see this area of the business expanding to reflect
a potential to increase gross revenue by as much as 25% to licensees offering
the platform. We intend to aggressively pursue sales of the Mobile Gaming Platform
option to new licensees for 2006. We expect an official launch date for our Mobile
Gaming Platform, to be early 4th quarter of 2005."
