LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2001

Made By KIDDIES Inc. announced the release of the final public version of the highly anticipated Extreme Vegas(TM) (www.extremevegas.com), a real-time massively multiplayer online casino game and entertainment portal, the most extravagant online interactive casino experience ever!

The final version is now available for download at www.extremevegas.com.

Implementing the new proprietary Java 2 game engine utilizing advanced graphics and animation, Extreme Vegas(TM) represents a new class of online casino gaming, blending the best of graphics and state-of-the-art technologies to create games not just on the merit of gameplay but equally focused on fostering social interaction, relationships and building of community.

Unlike most online games, which traditionally have focused purely on gameplay, Extreme Vegas exponentially advances the genre by adding a fundamental gaming element -- a role-playing concept -- taking casino games to the next level of reality.

As part of the registration process, players are prompted to choose an occupation and a hotel to stay at. Based on their choices, players will periodically receive notices that they have received a paycheck or that a bill is now due. With this new twist, money management is now even more crucial than ever.

A key goal of Extreme Vegas players is to participate in the co-development of online community that bridges exciting casino gameplay and compelling, immersive interactive experiences. The games are not only realistic and fun but also mimic a major draw of actual Vegas gaming, the social qualities of the environment, which serve as a catalyst for interaction.

As they acquire "wealth" in Extreme Vegas through their massive winnings, and through profits in the barter/exchange feature, players are competing not only for the ultimate player status but also for incredible prizes and giveaways provided by the numerous sponsors of Extreme Vegas.

Extreme Vegas is not an actual gambling Web site; rather, it blends the excitement of Las Vegas and traditional gameplay, providing the chance to win prizes and achieve many other goals. The most important of these is to raise your player "status" by obtaining certain levels of wealth, acquiring various "items" on a quest to earn the ultimate player status of "High Roller."

Extreme Vegas: fiction or reality? You be the judge!

Extreme Vegas is a unique, massively multiplayer network game targeted at the rapidly growing demographic of casual gamers.

Made By KIDDIES Inc. is also currently developing a 3-D, photo-realistic retail version of this massively multiplayer casino for PC and next-generation consoles. It is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2002.
