Black Rhino Casino, (www.blackrhinocasino.com) the world's first charitable on-line casino, donating to the protection of endangered species, is pleased to announce its Grand Opening on Friday, June 7, 2002!

After a year of extensive research, Black Rhino Casino has identified numerous non-profit organizations, which are in desperate need of funding. Through a donation of 10% of net profits, Black Rhino Casino can ensure the existence of many grass root types of organizations, whose work in the field contribute directly to the success of endangered species around the world.

"Black Rhino Casino is more than just a gaming web site," said casino spokesperson, Mr. Ron Stopchycki. "As good corporate citizens, combined with the support of our future members, we feel that we have the ability to provide supplemental funding to major endangered species projects around the globe. In conjunction with our players and various non-profit organizations, we expect to make a direct impact on the survival of some of our most critically endangered species."

Mr. Stopchycki went on to say, "Not only does our casino and sportsbook provide the latest in the virtual gaming environment, but we've also paid much attention to the look and feel of the site itself. At Black Rhino Casino, we've created 'Species Spotlights' on each page to help educate our members and visitors on the plight of specific endangered species vying for survival at this very moment. We're also giving our members the opportunity to see the difference they're making, through updates posted on our 'Projects Page' as well as the ability to educate themselves further through our 'links' pages."

"We fully understand the importance of taking care of our members," acknowledged Mr. Stopchycki. "With this in mind, we've developed VIP and Club Cash programs, which are industry firsts." Black Rhino Casino provides a level of customer service and satisfaction unmatched in on-line gaming, with 24-hour customer support available through toll free numbers, live chat and email. Mr. Stopchycki emphasized that, "Payment and deposit options are the finest available, focusing on the expedited payment of wins to the customer."

Black Rhino uses the latest gaming software available, developed by Futurebet Systems Inc. (www.futurebet.com) and customized specifically for Black Rhino Casino. The software features a complete line of land based styled casino games and a sportsbook with very competitive lines. With Black Rhino's Fantasy Sports, members can create their own sports team and wager against other members, another first for on-line gaming. The Fantasy Sports section will be released in time for the start of the NFL regular season, and will also include the NBA, MLB, and NHL. Future development plans include pari-mutuel games of skill such as chess, checkers, cribbage and several interactive multiplayer arcade style games.
