Business Editors/Entertainment Writers

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 2002

World Gaming plc (OTC BB: WGMGY), a global provider of Internet gaming software and e-business services, has added instant play craps and roulette to its suite of Java casino games. The company's original suite includes blackjack, numerous poker games, and slots in Java format for those operators using the company's Version 3 software platform.

"The expansion of our Java suite is aimed at offering our licensees high-value entertainment that will drive top-line revenue growth without adding to their bottom line costs," said Mike Aymong, CEO of World Gaming. "We have identified that there is significant cross-over from our Web-based sportsbook and pari-mutuel wagering products to our instant play casino games."

The introduction of craps and roulette in Java formats falls on the heels of a major release of Asian language Java games by the company in February.

"We are committed to broadening our game and language offerings with an eye to customer retention and extended market reach for our licensees," said Rodney Davis, interim COO and CFO of World Gaming. "Approximately half of the active players on our platform are attracted by the immediacy offered by instant play Java format games. With the addition of craps and roulette, we would expect to see extended play and new players on our licensees' sites."

World Gaming powers more than 750 Web sites with over 250,000 active accounts worldwide.
