PR Newswire: DEQ Obtains a Patent for a New Remote Betting System

LEVIS, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DEQ Systems Corp. (TSX-V: DEQ), announced today that they obtained an important patent that completes their table game patent portfolio. This patent relates to an electronic system, called "Remote Betting", allowing wagers, from any place by a spectator, on a player sitting at a table game in a casino or a tournament.

DEQ's new patent and technology integrates with the four major families of table games: blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and poker. Unlike the other auxiliary systems installed on these tables, for which it is necessary to be physically present at the table to take part of the game, this new system allows remote betting, from a room, restaurant, bar of the establishment or by Internet. The game is electronically retransmitted on the screen of a console or computer. DEQ plans to integrate the other elements of their patent portfolio into this technology such as Multiple Side Betting and Mystery Bonusing.

The electronic system gives the opportunity to people who like to watch but not to participate in live casino table games to take part of the game and to have the chance of winning progressive jackpots and/or random prizes while betting on their favourite players or those who seem the most promising. This auxiliary remote betting can be placed either on the principal game and/or the auxiliary game and even the dealer. As card game tournaments are becoming more and more popular, this functionality is also very interesting as it allows spectators to bet on a participant or a combination of winners, as in horse races.

According to Mr. Earle G. Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of DEQ Systems Corp., "We are entering into an era where table gaming is seeing the same popularity as other professional sports. Seeing spectators now having the technology to remotely bet on their favourite player will be a major retention point to table game tournaments. The major table games and auxiliary systems manufacturers are moving towards this type of technology to face the growing popularity of card games and tournaments."
