MOBILE GAMBLING TECHNOLOGY IMMINENT FROM CHIMERA
Final testing in progress - on schedule for July launch
Nevada-based gambling software developer Chimera Technology Corp. confirmed this week that its Mobile Gaming Platform (MGP) is in the final stages of testing. The platform has thus far been ordered by 724Sportsbook.com and is offered to other licensees of the company's casino and software products.
Chimera's wireless gaming platform will enable users to access various casino games through cellular phones and other wireless mobile devices such as PDA's. The platform will support real play as well as play for fun options.
Industry analyst Juniper Research, has forecast that the mobile gambling industry will reach US $16 billion in revenues by 2008. Market information suggests that currently there are more than 1.7 billion mobile phone users globally.
The Nevada Assembly recently unanimously approved Assembly Bill No.471, which authorizes the use of mobile gaming communication devices for gaming in public areas in Nevada casinos. The introduction of Bill No. 471, has the potential for significant impact on the future of wireless mobile gaming. The Bill now rests with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Chimera President Ken Chua encouraged shareholders to try the beta games destined for the mobile service either on their cell phones, wireless PDAs or their personal computers.
