are expected to naturally appeal to our online and offline casino customers.
Backgammon and Gin Rummy are anticipated to offer meaningful appeal to
Corals' sports-betting and Gala's bingo-playing customer demographics.
GameAccount was chosen after an exhaustive process investigating the
experience of potential suppliers, the established player liquidity and the
technical capabilities of their respective platforms." said Joe Coughlin,

Gala Coral becomes the latest licensee sportsbook operator in
2007 to join the GameAccount Network following membership by William Hill,
BoyleSports, BlueSquare and Stan James. All GameAccount licensees enjoy the
benefits of GameAccount's April 2007 software upgrade which includes
navigation enhancements for the games lobby, more information for tournament
players and brand new side games. Players can now easily find and register
for the next tournament to start and simply navigate between game tables. For
the first time in the skill gaming industry, players can launch side games
from the game lobby without missing a moment of live person-to-person skill
gaming action.
"We are delighted to welcome Gala Coral as our latest
blue-chip licensee." said Dermot Smurfit, Sales & Marketing Director. "Our
corporate customers benefit from unique head-to-head gaming software in
attracting new players - reducing the dreaded churn and driving meaningful

Multiplayer Blackjack form a compelling suite of head-to-head games
super-charged by the presence of new instant win side games to fill idle
