targeted at players who previously would not have wanted to wait to either
download a casino or load software from a free CD Rom. Our research has shown
that this group represent nearly 20% of our current players and does not take
into consideration the number of potential players that have chosen in the past
not to play or register because of the delay in being able to commence play".
