Pegasus Gaming Corp. (Pink Sheets: PGGG)
(http://www.PegasusGaming.com), a European facing turnkey I-gaming
platform solution and e-commerce services provider, is pleased to
announce that, despite the recent ruling by the United States on
restricting financial institutions to facilitate e-commerce
transactions to the online gaming operators catering to U.S.
players, it has continued to attract large interests from potential
European operators for its I-gaming products. On September 29,
2006, both Houses of the U.S. Congress passed the Safe Port Act,
onto which was attached the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement
Act (UIGE Act) of 2006. In essence, the UIGE Act prohibits the
acceptance or use of any payment instrument in any financial
transaction for the purposes of unlawful Internet gambling within
U.S. soil. Subsequently, the governing bodies will have 270 days to
adequately implement the Act into law. Meanwhile, in 2005, the
country of Antigua and Barbuda, which houses some of the largest
I-gaming operators in the world, has obtained a decision from the
World Trade Organization (WTO) in its favor, ruling that United
States efforts to prohibit the provision of gambling and betting
services to consumers in the United States violated American
free-trade commitments under the WTO's General Agreement on Trade
in Services. Antigua and Barbuda is engaged in further tribunal
proceedings with the United States at the WTO to determine whether
the United States is in compliance with the ruling. Europe,
however, has gradually opened up the I-gaming sector when the
United Kingdom sought to regulate the industry within its country,
with more and more countries to follow in its footsteps. �The
recent ruling from the U.S. has had zero impact on our business
since all our business is catered toward the European continent. We
will continue to work on the licensing applications on hand and
will also seek to greatly expose our presence in Europe by means of
a local consultation assistant,� stated Pegasus Gaming President
& CEO David Cheng. The above statements in regard to Pegasus,
which are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, including Pegasus Gaming Corp.'s beliefs, expectations,
hopes or intentions regarding the future. All forward-looking
