Chartwell Announces Internal Corporate Reorganization
Chartwell Technology Inc. CWH-ASE
November
26, 1999, Chartwell Technology Inc.(CWH-ASE) announces that it has
sold the Internet gaming software application, Casino Casino,
to its wholly owned subsidiary, Gamingtech Corporation ("Gamingtech"). The sale
includes the source code for the Casino Casino
software and exclusive rights to all gaming or wagering applications of the
Software. Chartwell and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary Gateway Technology
Inc., have also assigned to Gamingtech all existing sub licensing agreements
relating to the Casino Casino software. The effective date of the sale is November
1, 1999.
Gamingtech will assume responsibility for the
marketing, sub licensing and operation of all gaming or wagering related applications
of the Casino Casino
software and for the administration of all of the existing Casino
Casino software license
agreements through its head office in Belize City, Belize. Gamingtech will sub
license the Casino Casino
software to parties holding valid Internet gaming licenses and will not own,
operate or participate in the operation or management of any Internet Casino
businesses. Mr. Richard Latham, a former officer and director of Gateway, has
been appointed the President of Gamingtech.
Gamingtech's offices are located at 13½ Northern
Highway, Boom Cutoff, Ladyville, Belize. Gamingtech's staff will include marketing
and sales, customer service, programming and network specialists. The proximity
of Gamingtech's new offices to existing Casino Casino
licensees and to the potential market for new licensees is expected to achieve
greater efficiency in customer services and will facilitate an increased level
and rate of software sales. Gamingtech has obtained a business permit to conduct
its CasinoCasino software licensing business and all necessary work permits
for foreign personnel.
Chartwell has retained the right to utilize the
Casino Casino
source code or portions thereof in the development of software applications
for sale or licencing in the entertainment, tournament, incentives and advertising
markets. Chartwell's business is now focused on the development and marketing
of "play for fun" applications for the existing 19 parlor games included in
Casino Casino,
the newly developed multi-player Bingo Bingo
game and the development of new games and entertainment applications. Chartwell
also retains its right to the proprietary IP tracking and e-commerce software
which it has developed over the past year. Chartwell's goal is to achieve a
significant level of penetration in the huge Internet entertainment content
and e-commerce markets. To that end Chartwell has commenced an aggressive marketing
campaign and development schedule for its new software applications.
