HENDERSON, Nev., April 20, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Atlantis Internet Group Corp. (Pink Sheets:ATIG) has created a web site for the only tribal resort & casino with a Nevada Gaming License that marks a milestone in the gaming industry.
The Avi's Internet Casino & website offers play-for-fun games and allows visitors to make reservations and tour the Resort & Casino facility online. The website will be used for the marketing and promotion of "A True Desert Oasis", The Avi Resort & Casino in Laughlin, Nevada.
Visitors to the site can win free nights, meals and prizes, by just registering and playing the free games online. Combine the new found popularity of Internet gaming and the public's love for winning prizes; this creates a unique branding opportunity for the Avi.
"The experience of designing and engineering the entire website for the Avi Casino, and especially the sophisticated and interactive multi-game area of the site, has given Atlantis Internet Group Corp. a tremendous level of expertise in the future of online gaming that competitive companies don't have. We have provided a level of accounting and controls that would enable the site to easily be converted to a play-for-money site if laws allow that at a future date," said Donald Bailey, Chairman of Atlantis Internet Group Corp.
"In the meantime, the play-for-fun games will attract web traffic and introduce a larger audience to the Avi Resort and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada," Mr. Bailey added.
Internet users can try a "game", including most of the popular casino games, at www.avicasino.com. Avi selected the innovative e-gaming software developed by Atlantis Internet Group Corp. (www.AtlantisInternetGroup.com). Atlantis is a pioneer of e-gaming software. Atlantis casino games offer the latest flash technology & require no downloading.
The Avi website was built to include gateways for other Indian Tribes to use the Avi's online games if necessary; this could create enormous opportunities if proposed legislation for Internet Gaming within the United States were ever to be enacted.
"If Internet casinos are to be legally offered by anyone, they should be legally offered by Indian tribes," says John Tahsuda from the National Indian Gaming Association. "Indian tribes would make the best use of the revenues from Internet gaming. Most Indian tribes remain in great need of revenues for core governmental programs and services, and many still have high unemployment."
