SHEDDING LIGHT ON 'ARCTIC STAR' GAMBLING COMPANY
A U.S. utility company with Swedish interests to supply 3-D poker?
Very cryptic information surrounding the future plans of a Costa Rican online casino company called Arctic Star had industry observers playing the guessing game this week.
Artic Star announced that it was to be powered by DQE AB and 3D Internet Games AB out of Sweden, but unearthing more information on these companies only deepened the mystery. DQE is a subsidiary of the US electric light utilities company Duquesne Light Company, which is a "leader in the transmission and distribution of electric energy, offering superior customer service and reliability to more than half a million customers in southwestern Pennsylvania."
Clearly a new entrant into the online gambling software field, the company has previously supplied 3-D Poker and Blackjack software to online poker site Vegas007.com, and has now clinched a new deal with Arctic Star, which is a Costa Rican entity that has yet to appear on the Internet but has plans to do so soon.
William Forsman, managing director of Arctic Star, said: “We are optimistic on our decision to work with DQE. Through our channels we have access to active poker players, most in northern Sweden. We think 3D will become the standard for the world’s poker sites over the coming years.”
