Gaming Corporation Launches New Casino

Gaming Corporation plc ("Gaming Corp" or "the Company"), the number 1 gaming
portal operator and owner of both www.gambling.com and www.casino.co.uk, today
announces it has signed a deal with Virtue Fusion, the casino software developer
to provide a multiplatform casino solution available both online and on mobile
devices.

After an extensive search and tender process, Gaming Corp has chosen Virtue
Fusion because it has developed a best in class suite of games with a fee
structure that will enable Gaming Corp to significantly improve margins in its
proprietary Casino business. The new software will be branded casino.co.uk and
is available on the internet and is compatible with all the major mobile
networks.

The casino, located at www.games.casino.co.uk, uses software that has been
jointly developed over the past 18 months includes fifteen online casino games
and nine state of the art mobile java games including Blackjack, Roulette, Stud
Poker, slots and scratch cards. The online games are flash based, meaning that
there is no requirement for a lengthy download each time a player logs in to the
casino and it is unaffected by firewalls. The java mobile games can be
downloaded from the website or via the Casino.co.uk wap site (wap.casino.co.uk).
The casino games are available for both practice and real cash play.

Registration and deposits can be made either via the mobile handset or online by
either credit of debit card. Over 40 leading handsets are currently supported by
the casino software and this number will increase as new phones are launched.
The games are accessible across any mobile network in the UK.

Gaming Corp plans to market the new casino across its network of sites including
Casino.co.uk www.casino.co.uk, Gambling.com www.gambling.com and Got2bet.com
www.got2bet.com. The Gaming Corp network represents a substantial number of
existing players and registered users interested in gaming.

Sara Vincent, Commercial Director of Casino.co.uk commented,

"We are extremely pleased to announce the launch of our new flash based
multiplatform casino. It not only further enhances the Casino.co.uk product
portfolio, but with such a high percentage of the population owning mobiles, it
expands our reach and market penetration".

Justin Drummond, Chief Executive, commented,

"As part of our commitment to constantly upgrade and improve our gaming offering
we have been working with Virtue Fusion for over 18 months developing a best in
class suite of casino games. With our new software we are aiming to
substantially improve margins and grow the profitability of our proprietary
casino operations".

"After the successful development and launch of our mobile casino games service
in collaboration with Virtue Fusion we felt that their multi platform casino
software and competitive cost structure were the ideal solution to our casino
software requirements going forward".

Alex Haig-Thomas, Managing Director, Virtue Fusion commented,

"We are delighted to be working closely with Gaming Corp to help deliver the
UK's premier online and mobile casino offering. With its ownership of
Casino.co.uk and recent acquisition of Gambling.com, Gaming Corp is uniquely
well placed to take advantage of the interactive gaming market place."
