VAXJO, Sweden, May 5, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- VictorBingo.com is the third product Boss Media delivers to Victor Chandler Worldwide. Boss Media has earlier delivered two different casinos in two currencies - VictorCasino.com with USD as the base currency & VictorChandlerCasino.com with GBP as the base currency.
The co-operation with Victor Chandler Worldwide started in October 2001 with the sale of the first casino and is now extended to include also a Bingo. VictorBingo.com is an instant web based software-client, developed in Flash, with GBP as the base currency. Players can choose between two bingo games and at the same time play different instant games, like slot machines and scratch-tickets.
"VictorBingo.com constitutes an important piece in the building of the `Boss Bingo Network.' During the summer and the autumn, more partners will be linked into this joint community bingo-pool, where players from different bingo sites meet," says Peter Bertilsson, Managing Director at Boss Media.
"Victor Bingo is only the second site to be developed in pounds sterling specifically for the UK market and was built in conjunction with top gaming software supplier, Sweden-based Boss Media. As a non-download product, Victor Bingo is easier to use than most of its online counterparts. There's no time spent installing bulky bingo software. Instead, players simply click and play direct from their browser," says Gill Leivesley, Managing Director at Victor Chandler's Games Division.
Boss Media's strategy over the past year has been to establish a strong position in the British market where the combination of player interest, Internet penetration and the favourable legal climate makes it the most interesting market in Europe. Boss Media has to date signed contracts with several of the leading operators such as William Hill Plc, Sportingbet.com Plc, Bet 365 Group, Gaming Corp. Plc and Gala Group - positioning Boss Media as a leading software supplier on the British market.
