Caliente to Launch Internet Version of SportXction Product
WEST PATERSON, N.J., July 22 /EMWNews/ -- Interactive Systems Worldwide Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ISWI) today announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Interactive Gaming Limited ("GIG"), and Hipodromo de Agua Caliente S.A. de C.V. ("Caliente"), have revised their licensing and technical support agreements originally signed in August 2006. In connection with these revised agreements, GIG will provide software and services that enable Caliente to offer the Company's enhanced play-by-play sports betting service on-line on Caliente's Internet website. It is expected that this version will launch in time for the upcoming American football season, and will run through the end of the calendar year. Caliente is operating the play-by-play betting service using its own personnel. The wagering opportunities will be offered in both English and Spanish to the patrons. GIG will provide initial set-up support, software customization, and will provide on-going technical assistance. These services will be provided on a "time and materials" basis. The agreement specifies an up-front payment to GIG, as well as monthly license fees based on a share of the revenue derived from the enhanced play-by-play betting service. Under these revised agreements, the SportXction(R) System will no longer be offered in the Race & Sports Books operated by Caliente.
