EZ2 Companies.com, Inc. Announces Final Beta Testing of Upcoming Poker Site Business Wire - November 17, 2005 15:23
MIAMI, Nov 17, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EZ2 Companies, Inc. (OTCBB:EZTO), announced today that http://www.ez2poker.com is in final beta testing in anticipation of a New Years Day launch. This online poker site will contain several unique features, in particular the ability to see the faces of the actual players.
The deal is the first in a line of licensing deals, whereby EZ2Companies.com, Inc. will license the complete domain name of http://www.ez2poker.com and technology to the overseas company. Horatian Holdings, Corp., a Panama based company, will license the technology as built by EZ2Companies to allow full service gaming on the site. Players will need a webcam to play in each of the back rooms, and the site visitors will be able to view the games in action and see the player's reactions to cards dealt. EZ2Companies.com will collect a substantial monthly licensing fee for the use of the technology.
"This website has been a long time in the planning stages," said Otto Bethlen, CEO EZ2Companies.com. "Although the site is behind schedule, the results will be well worth the wait. Poker, and in particular, online poker such as Texas Hold'em has seen a revival of extraordinary proportions. To be able to see the actual players as hands are dealt will add an element never seen before in online gaming. Our company will provide technology, the domain name and daily service for the site, while Horatian Holdings, Corp. are in charge of the gaming aspect of the business. This technology will allow us to earn significant revenue from licensing the software to companies in the online gaming business."
Macromedia Flash is the ideal programming solution for online games due to the fast loading, ability to customize, and most important, can play in any web browser. EZ2Companies already use the format in almost all of the sites in the network in some way or another, continuing the philosophy of producing next level applications.
