NEW YORK, NY–(EMWNews – August 7, 2008) – Carlyle Gaming & Entertainment Ltd.

(PINKSHEETS: CGME) announced today that it will launch a poker product

that is viewed as a skill game and legal in most US jurisdictions including

California and New York State. PokerTwin™ is a Texas Hold ’em-based poker

game that removes the luck of the draw and lets a poker player rely on

their skills to win.

PokerTwin™ players in corresponding seats at two different tables are dealt

identical poker hands and prove their skill not by how lucky they are, but

in how well they play each hand in comparison with the other player who has

the same cards.

PokerTwin™ will be launched to US players in the third quarter 2008 at

pokertwin.com and a play for fun site at pokertwin.net.
