29th July 2004 - Mobile Streams, the global mobile content company, announced today the launch of Go Vegas Go, a fully licensed mobile gaming and gambling service.

The extensive range of mobile games includes Poker, Roulette, Blackjack and several types of slots. The games can be played on a wide range of Java-based mobile phones through an intuitive interface. A superb range of web based gambling games complements the mobile games. After extensive due diligence, Mobile Streams selected Virtue Fusion to supply the gambling platform and games.

Customers will be able to download the games to their mobile phone by simply sending an SMS shortcode. The Go Vegas Go service is for adults over the age of 18, and will conform to the strict age verification processes currently being introduced by the mobile carriers. Customers will enjoy excellent odds, usually in excess of 95%.

Mobile Streams will also be making Go Vegas Go available to many of it’s partners on a white-label basis, enabling them to introduce the service without the need to develop a costly infrastructure and issue a gaming licence.

Simon Buckingham, CEO of Mobile Streams said: “The launch of Go Vegas Go demonstrates Mobile Streams' commitment to expand our product portfolio to meet growing market demand for a secure and reliable mobile gambling service that offers superb odds. Recent analyst reports cite the large opportunity for mobile gaming, for example the Juniper Research that estimates the mobile gaming market to be worth in excess of US$ 18 billion by 2008.” He adds “We are in an excellent position to meet this growing demand because of our channels to market, product portfolio and network infrastructure”.

“We are excited to be working closely with Mobile Streams to launch Go Vegas Go ” commented Alex Haig-Thomas, CEO of Virtue Fusion. “The service is based on years of development where we have gained significant experience supplying well-known industry leaders such as the Gala Group. By combining our extensive experience in developing gambling services and Mobile Streams in creating and distributing mobile content, we have developed the perfect consumer offering.”
