Diamond I Upbeat After Competitor's Wireless Gaming Device Recommended for Approval of License in Nevada
Gaming Control Board's Actions Show "Mainstreaming" of Wireless Gaming
Diamond I, Inc. (OTC BB: DMOI), a developer of wireless gaming products, including the WifiCasino GS(TM) wireless hand-held system, today stated that the Nevada Gaming Control Board's recent recommendation of a competitor's wireless gaming device for a license indicates that wireless gaming has joined gambling's mainstream. In a May 3, 2006, Associated Press article, Diamond I is named as a player in the wireless gambling arena.
"We are pleased with the speed of the Control Board's review, as we continue to prepare for our own application process," said David Loflin, Diamond I's CEO. "As the Nevada situation plays out, our wireless gambling development activities in Jamaica are showing progress," Mr. Loflin added.
About Diamond I, Inc.
Diamond I, Inc. is a development-stage company that develops wireless gaming products, including a hand-held Wi-Fi-based gaming system for on-premises use by casinos/resorts, known as "WifiCasino GS Concierge and Gaming System"(TM). The term "Wi-Fi" (wireless fidelity) refers to an industry standard for wireless equipment that meets published 802.11(x) standards. Wi-Fi equipment operates in unlicensed spectra, such as 2.4 and 5.8 Ghz.
With the passage of Nevada Law AB471, which authorizes the use of mobile communication devices for gaming in public areas in Nevada casinos, Diamond I seeks to secure a Las Vegas hotel/casino to serve as the demonstration site for its WifiCasino GS, in conjunction with its application for a gaming license in Nevada. To that end, in a letter of intent, The Palms Resort and Casino has agreed to continue to develop a working relationship relating to Diamond I's WifiCasino GS and, assuming Diamond I continues to meet certain standards, The Palms stated that it intends to pursue an opportunity with Diamond I. Diamond I continues to seek venues in which to establish its WifiCasino GS system, including other U.S. casinos and horse and dog racing facilities. Diamond I has had preliminary discussions with certain owners of cruise ships, certain owners of horse racing facilities in the United States and dog and horse racing facilities outside the United States.
