Parlay and Mircogame to launch two new networks in 2009

Parlay Entertainment Inc. a global leader and developer of Internet bingo solutions and Microgame S.p.A. have revealed that they intend to launch two new online bingo networks in 2009.

The new networks will each be powered by an online platform which encompasses Parlays internet bingo products in addition to Microgames' well established game control and management infrastructure.

The first new network will launch in the first quarter of 2009 and will provide online bingo to players in Italy where the Italian government is expected to shortly approve the addition of bingo to their directory of closely monitored internet gaming products.

The second network is scheduled to launch from Malta during the second quarter of 2009 and is expected to offer online bingo and other casino games to the international online market.

CEO for Parlay Entertainment Scott White, confirmed in a statement:-

We are delighted to partner with Microgame to offer our leading edge games in Italy, which will be a new regulated marketplace for Parlay and for bingo. We view the opportunity with Microgame, making use of their existing relationships, infrastructure and large customer base in Italy, as an excellent way to enter this new market for bingo.

Parlay has been a first mover and market innovator in Internet bingo for more than 10 years. We have been and will continue to be committed to the growth of bingo in new regulated marketplaces, particularly in Europe. The opportunity to participate with an experienced, regulated and credible operator in Italy will help Parlay accelerate our time to market.
