LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Sep 11, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Parlay Entertainment Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PEI), is pleased to announce the launch of its Parlay Game Services (PGS) Managed Solution platform and the completion of the first three managed services agreements. The launch of the first network partner will coincide with the EiG conference in Copenhagen next week, with the others ramping up in sequence throughout September and October.
Parlay announced the Alderney-based PGS offering in July of this year as an internationally focused central liquidity solution, offering remote gaming and Registration, Verification and Banking services. Built on the Parlay5 multi-language and multi-currency technology, PGS allows pooling of liquidity across currencies - something crucial to those operators who wish to expand into the rapidly expanding global market. The PGS platform will also leverage several recently completed technology partnerships to offer new content and enhanced functionality for the network, which have been developed and tested by other leading software development firms.
"We are thrilled to be able to extend our business model from a software development and licensing firm to an internationally-focused turn-key managed solutions provider," said Perry Malone, Chief Technology Officer for Parlay. "Our initial Network Partnerships represent a broad spectrum of businesses which will focus on existing and new gaming markets, and which will leverage off their existing liquidity pools. The details of each Network Partnership will be released as they launch."
Scott White, Parlay's Chief Executive Officer, added: "These new customers - and the level of interest we are seeing from our customers and new prospects - validates the expansion of our business model into this value-added services offering. The fact that we are able to utilize our commercial-grade, award-winning technology platform with newly established technology partnerships gives Parlay an enhanced solution, providing more selection to an unlimited customer base. We are very excited about the future of our PGS offering."
