LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2004
Chimera Technology Corp. ("Chimera") (Pink Sheets: CNOC) (http://www.chimeratechnology.com) today announced the addition of a casino games platform to complement the company's world-class sports book wagering platform. The casino games platform is scheduled for launch in the next 60 days and will include blackjack, roulette, craps, pai gow and slots, among others.
The addition of a comprehensive casino games platform further entrenches Chimera Technology into the explosive growth industry of online gambling. In the company's investor bulletin dated Jan. 20, 2004, Chimera reported that U.K. residents spent more than $US6.4 billion in online gambling in 2003, while residents of the United States spent more than $US1.0 billion. More importantly, as a result of Britain's Gambling Bill expected to pass into law in 2004, making it easier for companies to run online casinos from the United Kingdom, global online gambling revenues are expected to increase sixfold in the coming years.
Chimera President Ken Chua stated, "The Chimera team has worked incredibly hard to deliver our upcoming casino games platform. Staging, testing and debugging is a crucial process for any software company planning to launch new products and Chimera is no different. We would not be making this announcement if we were not 100% confident in the performance of our software. The scheduled launch of our casino games platform will provide a big boost to our current licensees and sales to new licensees. I look forward to announcing the official launch and inviting Chimera friends, clients and investors for a spin at our slot machines and other games."
