The directors are not aware of any other mobile product that currently has Class II compliance.

Jim Wilkinson, Chairman of Nektan, said:

"We are delighted to be able to announce this landmark product approval for our on premise gaming product.

It is a key approval for the industry, and we believe this exciting product will be a great success for both Respin LLC, US casinos and their players who will benefit from an augmented gaming experience.

Our industry continues to strive for mobile gaming solutions to cater to future generations, and we believe this is a positive step in that direction. Class II offers many benefits for tribal casinos and we feel this is smart and compelling solution for their players."
