| Home Gambling Network Enters Into Letter of Intent
LAS VEGAS
Nov. 6, 2000
Home
Gambling Network Inc. (HGN) announced today that it has entered
into a Letter of Intent with a significant international entertainment
organization
based in Europe that has a broad reach in the areas of gambling, traditional
media and publishing.
A master license may be issued to this entity upon
final due diligence.
At that point, this entity will operate out of Europe and license
European-based operators conducting HGN's method of wagering: those
offering wagering on live games and events (non-virtual) to remote
customers with the convenience of electronic transactions. The license
agreement will cover those forms of wagering that people are currently
enjoying while gambling at land-based casinos, sportsbooks, race tracks,
OTBs, etc.
In obtaining this master license, the European-based
entity will
effectively market the patented method to operators and consumers alike
throughout the world in a joint effort with HGN's world headquarters
in Las
Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.
Bingo is excluded from this master license as other
prospective
licensees are currently negotiating for the lucrative worldwide Bingo
rights.
Las Vegas-based HGN,
a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly traded i2corp.com
(OTCBB:ITOO), holds U.S. Patent 5,800,268 for remote wagering on live games
and events utilizing electronic financial transactions. HGN also has
a
corresponding patent application pending before the European Patent
Office.
When issued, the patent will cover the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany,
the Netherlands, as well as all other European countries, their territories
and possessions (e.g. the Caribbean/Gibraltar/Malta). Applications
are
pending in Australia and Canada and are expected to be issued very
soon.
