Commenting on today's announcement, Hussein Chahine, Founderand CEO of AbsoluteCasino.com said:

"I have been a technology provider to the gaming and bettingindustry for the past five years. It became clear to me that the industry hasstopped innovating. The technology suppliers are too removed from theconsumer, while the operators are falling short of understanding and buildinga business that embraces today's social-networked internet world. This haspresented a unique opportunity for us to enter the market as a new gamingcompany, where millions of concurrent players are empowered to connect,compete and have fun."

Bijan Khezri, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman commented:"AbsoluteCasino's ability to provide a new interactive and competitivemultiplayer gaming experience opens up an unprecedented range of revenue andacquisition models that, to date, have been enjoyed only by game-console andmedia companies."
