Interactive Systems Worldwide Provides Transaction History Update


WEST PATERSON, New Jersey, April 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- ANNOUNCES RECORD QUARTERLY TURNOVER

Interactive Systems Worldwide, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ISWI) announced its
quarterly transaction volumes (i.e. the "Turnover" and the "Hold"),
associated with the wagering services provided by Global Interactive Gaming
Ltd. ("GIG"), the Company's wholly owned UK subsidiary, for the three month
period ended March 31, 2009.

The Turnover for the period ended March 31, 2009 was pounds sterling
(GBP)4,603,359. This represents a 12.1% increase over the Turnover for the
comparable period last year of (GBP)4,107,835. It also represents a 5.7%
increase over the previous record turnover of (GBP)4,354,811, achieved during
the period ended June 30, 2008, which included the 2008 European Football
Championships held last June. The Turnover, also called "Handle," is the sum
of the amounts wagered under the GIG's service agreements with business
partners for its "integrated" solution. The Hold for this period was
(GBP)263,045. The Hold, also called "Gross Win," is the amount retained by
the business partner after all winning wagers have been paid.

Bernard Albanese, Chief Executive Officer of ISWI, said, "The Company is
pleased that we were able to achieve record breaking performance in the midst
of a severe worldwide economic slowdown. This is evidence of a strong
consumer desire for our products."

The Company had previously announced (in August 2008) that it had ceased
filing its SEC financial reports for an indeterminate time period due to the
Company's lack of financial resources and the anticipated expenses associated
with the preparation, independent auditor review and filing of these reports.
In January 2009, the Company instituted a program of providing transaction
volume on a quarterly basis. The purpose of these disclosures is to provide
the investment community with some ability to track the progress of the
Company's operations despite the Company being delinquent in its SEC
financial reporting.

Also provided are the historical transaction volumes associated with
previous quarterly periods commencing with January 2007, which corresponds to
the launch of the Company's "integrated" product into live operation (see
table below). This data is also be available on GIG's website 
(www.gigltd.com), by clicking "Transaction History" on the Press and Contacts 
page. GIG's website can also be accessed indirectly from the Company's website
(www.isw.com). The website Transaction History will be updated with the last
quarter's transaction volume, reported today, shortly. All figures are
unaudited.

In the "integrated" solution, GIG's personnel use the SportXction
software to manage certain in-run betting opportunities on behalf of the
business partners, who then accept related wagers utilizing their own gaming
system. The Turnover and Hold figures below are not directly indicative of
GIG's revenue because the fees payable to GIG pursuant to the agreements with
its business partners may include a combination of both a revenue share and a
monthly minimum. The figures below do not include other sources of revenue
for GIG or the Company, such as license fees, software charges, etc. Sports
wagering is seasonal. Meaningful comparisons can only be made between
comparable periods (year-to-year), not consecutive periods. In addition, some
major sports events are not held annually, but are only held only every 2 or
4 years.
