Diamond I widens the net
Wireless gambling developer Diamond I Inc has expanded its focus on Vegas on-property
remote gambling to the Caribbean with the announcement that it has entered into
a strategic alliance with Viking Productions, a Jamaica-based marketing and
promotions firm, to bring WifiCasino GS to venues within the Jamaican hotel
and tourism industries.
"We are pleased to have formed this business relationship with Viking,"
said David Loflin, Diamond I's CEO. "We believe our video gaming products,
including our wireless, hand-held WifiCasino GS, will have great appeal on the
Island".
Diamond I has carried out extensive development on a hand-held Wi-Fi-based gaming
system for on-premises use by casinos/resorts, capitalising on the more progressive
attitude toward this form of gambling by Nevada legislators.
With the passage of Nevada Law AB471, which authorises the use of mobile communication
devices for gaming in public areas in Nevada casinos, Diamond I seeks to secure
a Las Vegas hotel/casino to serve as the demonstration site for its WifiCasino
GS, in conjunction with its application for a gaming license in Nevada.
The Palms Resort and Casino has agreed to continue to develop a working relationship
relating to Diamond I's WifiCasino GS and, assuming Diamond I continues to meet
certain standards, The Palms stated that it intends to pursue an opportunity
with Diamond I. The company has also had preliminary discussions with owners
of cruise ships, horse racing facilities in the United States and dog and horse
racing facilities outside the United States.
