The sites are expected to generate $2 million in revenue for IGW, which includes initial set-up fees for customized Web site development, hardware and software installation, monthly maintenance fees and software licensing royalties. The operations are expected to be fully functional in July 1999, when Gameday (www.gamedaysports.com)(www.gamedaycasino.com) and Sports Network (www.aNETbet.com) will launch their new Web sites for online gaming consumers worldwide.
With headquarters in Omaha, Global Entertainment Holding/Equities Inc. specializes in online gaming software and licensing. Founded in 1997, Global provides financial consulting, investment banking and funding for both TheSportsDaily.com (www.TheSportsDaily.com), a division of Global Entertainment, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Interactive Gaming and Wagering (IGW).
IGW, based in Willemstad, Curacao, has developed the Internet & Telephony Sportsbook System, a leading turnkey sportsbook software package, and two versions of video poker, all of which it licenses to online sportsbook and casino operators. Global Entertainment has recently partnered with Predict It! (OTC BB:PRIT) and DBC Sports to maximize the information available to Web site users. The site offers direct links to online sportsbooks and casinos, including www.VIP.sports.com.
