     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gaming software maker benefits from more accurate data to drive higher quality of intelligence</p><p>WASHINGTON &#8212; Teradata Corporation (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=TDC" target="_blank">NYSE: TDC</a>), the world&#39;s largest company solely focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics, announced today that Electronic Arts Inc. (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=ERTS" target="_blank">NASDAQ: ERTS</a>), a leading global interactive entertainment software company, has selected and implemented Teradata Master Data Management (MDM) running on a Teradata platform as its enterprise master data management solution. Teradata Master Data Management gives companies powerful capabilities to ensure that all definitive data pertaining to products, customers and suppliers is accurate. </p><p>&#39;In a head-to-head competition with a competing vendor&#39;s MDM product, we found that Teradata MDM&#39;s flexibility, scalability and ability to successfully implement an integrated MDM solution were key in our decision,&#39; said Dennis Self, chief information officer, Electronic Arts. &#39;Teradata demonstrated a singular capability to deliver a true enterprise-class MDM solution, enabling us to manage all types of master data on a unified platform. Teradata&#39;s array of hardware, software and services reflect an expansive knowledge of MDM as well as our unique business requirements, and will support our drive to dramatically enhance data accuracy and corporate performance.&#39; </p><p>Master data management is becoming a strategic priority for business and technology professionals who are under pressure to improve the quality and consistency of data. This is supported by analysts who have projected the MDM market to reach more than $6 billion by 2010, with significant year-over-year growth.&#39; </p><p>Teradata MDM enables companies to create and manage a definitive single view of its most valuable data &#8211; a consistent master reference for the entire enterprise &#8211; which helps ensure timely availability of complete, accurate data in a common language for better planning and optimal decision-making. It brings economies to the business through reduced labor on data preparation, management, and interface development; and reduced time on data maintenance. MDM also supports rapid reconfiguration of business processes across the enterprise and provides data synchronization while leveraging existing platforms and legacy applications.</p><p>&#39;Many companies still have numerous time consuming, error prone manual methods of creating and managing critical data that is used for business processes such as new product introduction, customer and supplier management as well as risk analysis,&#39; said Mark Shainman, MDM program director for Teradata. &#39;Our new version of Teradata MDM with market leading workflow and hierarchy management capabilities is helping EA integrate, manage and share master data for both operational and analytical processes with much more efficiency and effectiveness. It is highly optimized for the Teradata platform with superb functionality.&#39;</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID106362 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=GAM">Computer Gaming</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=STW">Computer Software</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Computer-Gaming/~4/7ZYj9GN-Egg" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Combination of NVIDIA GPUs and Windows 7 Take Gaming to New Levels of Immersion, Delivering Best Experience Yet for PC Gamers</p><p>SANTA CLARA, Calif. - PC gaming experienced a major inflection point today with the release of Microsoft Corp.&#39;s new Windows 7 operating system, which creates the ultimate gaming platform when combined with NVIDIA&#174; GeForce&#174; graphics processing units (GPUs).</p><p>&#39;New advances in parallel computing, physics, and, stereoscopic 3D have amplified the importance of the GPU,&#39; said Mike Ybarra, general manager of Windows Product Management at Microsoft. &#39;These advances, combined with Windows 7, DirectX 11, and DirectCompute will transform PC gaming for years to come.&#39;</p><p>A Windows 7 PC powered by NVIDIA GeForce GPUs will feature technologies that provide an unprecedented level of immersion that make gaming more rewarding than ever, including:</p><p>    * NVIDIA 3D Vision&#8482; technology turns a 2D world into a fully immersive stereoscopic 3D experience. Characters and objects appear to have real depth and literally jump out of the screen.<br />    * NVIDIA PhysX&#8482; engine turns a static world into a dynamic world that comes to life. Walls can be torn down, with realistic effect. Glass can be shattered. Trees bend in the wind. Water flows with body and force.<br />    * NVIDIA SLI&#8482; technology allows the highest quality and fastest frame rates by combining multiple GeForce GPUs in a PC. On average, SLI technology is up to 15% faster on Windows 7 than on previous Windows operating systems.<br />    * Microsoft DirectCompute, a new application program interface (API) for GPU computing, will allow game developers to introduce new visual effects with fewer compromises to performance. Applications include image post-processing, shading &#38; lighting effects, and artificial intelligence.<br />    * Microsoft DirectX 11, the next-generation Direct3D API, will enable game developers to take advantage of NVIDIA&#39;s next generation GPU architecture, codenamed &#39;Fermi&#39;, and create advanced visual effects for upcoming 2010 gaming titles.</p><p>&#39;Despite rumors to the contrary, research shows that PC gaming is growing at a rapid pace and NVIDIA is the torchbearer for PC gaming,&#39; said Jon Peddie, principal analyst for Jon Peddie Research. &#39;Superior graphics, stereoscopic 3D, and advanced physics are features that differentiate the NVIDIA GeForce gaming experience from gaming consoles and other PC components.&#39;</p><p>For more information on Windows 7 and NVIDIA GPUs visit <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/windows7" target="_blank">http://www.nvidia.com/windows7</a>.</p><p>Consumers already running a GeForce GPU with Windows 7 can download the new WHQL-certified drivers supporting DirectCompute directly from <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/drivers" target="_blank">www.nvidia.com/drivers</a></p><p>About NVIDIA<br />NVIDIA (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=NVDA" target="_blank">Nasdaq: NVDA</a>) awakened the world to the power of computer graphics when it invented the graphics processing unit (GPU) in 1999. Since then, it has consistently set new standards in visual computing with breathtaking, interactive graphics available on devices ranging from portable media players to notebooks to workstations. NVIDIA&#39;s expertise in programmable GPUs has led to breakthroughs in parallel processing which make supercomputing inexpensive and widely accessible. Fortune magazine has ranked NVIDIA #1 in innovation in the semiconductor industry for two years in a row. For more information, see <a href="http://www.nvidia.com" target="_blank">www.nvidia.com</a>.</p><p>Certain statements in this press release including, but not limited to, statements as to: the benefits, features, impact, importance and capabilities of the NVIDIA GeForce GPU and its effect on the Windows 7 operating system; are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: development of more efficient or faster technology; design, manufacturing or software defects; the impact of technological development and competition; changes in consumer preferences and demands; customer adoption of different standards or our competitor&#39;s products; changes in industry standards and interfaces; unexpected loss of performance of our products or technologies when integrated into systems as well as other factors detailed from time to time in the reports NVIDIA files with the Securities and Exchange Commission including its Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended July 26, 2009. Copies of reports filed with the SEC are posted on NVIDIA&#39;s website and are available from NVIDIA without charge.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEW YORK&#39;S DIRTY DIGITS DEBUT FIRST IN SERIES OF CIMIO PLAYLISTS<br />CIMIO LETS FANS MIX THEIR MUSIC LIKE A DJ IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS;<br />CATCH CIMIO AT CMJ WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21 AT SANTOS PARTY HOUSE</p><p>New York, NY, October 20, 2009&#8212;Following its launch last month, New York-based Scratch DJ Academy&#39;s Cimio&#8212;the remarkable and simple software program that enables anyone to create mixes from their own music library in three easy steps&#8212;has begun to recruit playlists from noted Scratch DJ Academy DJ&#39;s around the country.  The first playlist comes from NY-based Dirty Digits, whose playlist is guaranteed to inspire and entertain:</p><p>Hold On	by Holy Ghost!<br />Keep On Searching by Kraak &#38; Smaak<br />Dare(Junior Sanchez Remix) by Gorillaz<br />Terrapin by The Quantic Soul Orchestra<br />Remind Me by Royksopp<br />Cross The Dancefloor(Chromeo Remix) by Treasure Fingers<br />Love Generation	by Bob Sinclar<br />Live It (Klaas Remix) by Fentura<br />Great DJ (Calvin Harris Remix) by The Ting Tings<br />Think I&#39;m In Love by Beck</p><p>&#39;Scratch DJ Academy&#39;s DJ&#39;s are showing music fans how it&#39;s done by creating playlists ideal for mixing with Cimio,&#39; explains Scratch DJ Academy co-founder and CEO Rob Principe.  &#39;Cimio is pretty easy to use.  Inspiration for great music mixes comes harder.  This is a fun way to help users with the musical selection, and seeing how well these songs go together will develop their skills.

During the import process, Cimio analyzes each track to determine its beats per minute (BPM) and unique song structure.  Then, Cimio helps users create an ideal playlist order by using BPM&#39;s as well as professional DJ tips from Scratch DJ Academy&#39;s curriculum.  Finally, users press the mix button and Cimio mixes the tracks in the playlist automatically.  </p><p>Cimio is designed for music fans that want to mix their music like a DJ but do not have the time or money to invest in professional DJ software.   Cimio helps users transform their playlists into seamless DJ mixes for their friends, house parties, workouts, commutes, road trips, and more.  The application also features tips from Scratch DJ Academy&#39;s leading curriculum&#8212;written by real professional DJs.

     <title>TrainPlayer Software launches Version 3.3 of its popular line of model railroad simulation products for Windows</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CASTRO VALLEY, CA, October 20, 2009 --  Earlier versions of TrainPlayer allowed users to construct working track plans and operate trains on them.  This version adds the &#34;Scenery Toolkit,&#34; a set of tools and artwork for creating scenic backdrops and constructions.  With this addition, the system provides the experience of all three aspects of the hobby -- laying track, building scenery, and running trains -- for the &#34;armchair model railroader&#34; who may not have the time or space to build an actual layout.</p><p>The Scenery Toolkit comes with over three hundred pre-drawn images of scenery objects -- buildings, trees, industries, roads, parks, background textures -- which can be dragged onto a plan and moved into position.  It also offers a simple but complete set of drawing tools for creating arbitrary shapes filled with colors, patterns, text, or images.  A dual-layer scheme allows independent editing of large background areas and small foreground objects.  Like the track tools and the train controls, the scenery drawing tools are intuitive and easy to use.</p><p>&#34;Our beta testers were quite excited about drawing their own scenery,&#34; says company founder Jim Dill.  &#34;They were able to produce some really nice large layouts with lots of interesting detail, even before we wrote the scenery chapter of the manual.  Many of these layouts are now available for download from our web collections.&#34;</p><p>In conjunction with the 3.3 release, the company has overhauled its website and simplified its product line.  There are now only two products: TrainPlayer / Operator, for running trains on pre-drawn layouts; and TrackLayer / Builder, the full system for designing, building and running layouts from scratch.  Both come with extensive collections of sounds, car and locomotive images, scenery objects, and track plans, including all of Linn Westcott&#39;s &#34;101 Track Plans for Model Railroaders,&#34; the best-selling track plan book of all time (copyright Kalmbach Publishing, 1956).</p><p>All products are for Windows only.  With this release the company is discontinuing its Mac products, and offering Mac users a free swap for the equivalent Windows versions.  </p><p>The early response to Version 3.3 has been very positive.  Says beta tester Jim Schenk: &#34;Over the years I&#39;ve probably had every train design and operation program ever published.  None of them compares to TrainPlayer for realistic operation plus design and scenario possibilities.  It is possible to design and operate everything from a 2&#39; X 3&#39; tabletop layout to a series of connected modules depicting a segment of a real-life railroad.  Now that I can draw scenery too, it brings computer railroading to a whole new level.&#34;</p><p>TrainPlayer has been in business since 2005.  Its products appeal to people who like to design track plans and run model trains, but don&#39;t care to invest the effort required by high-end CAD and train simulation programs.  The company prides itself on its customer support and on products easy enough for even the most computer-phobic old-timers.</p><p>Prices: TrainPlayer 3.3 / Operator, $59 (includes TrainPlayer Screen Saver, 101 Track Plans, 300 additional layouts); TrackLayer 3.3 / Builder, $99 (includes all of TrainPlayer / Operator plus TrackLayer tools, Scenery Toolkit, Premium Layouts and Cars collections).  Upgrades for existing users are priced from $29 to $59, and are purchased from within the program.  Products require Windows NT, 2000, XP, or Vista.  All can be purchased on the website by credit card, and are available by download or on CD for a $10 shipping charge.</p><p>For more information, visit the website at <a href="http://www.trainplayer.com" target="_blank">www.trainplayer.com</a>.  A full-featured demo of the complete system is available by download for 30-day free trial.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Four-player co-op, 87 bazillion guns, an arresting art style and a dancing robot - What more could you want?</p><p>New York, NY &#8211; 2K Games announced today that Borderlands&#8482; is now available in North America for the PlayStation&#174;3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360&#174; video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and will be available starting October 23 internationally. The Windows PC version will ship in North America and internationally on October 26 and October 30, respectively. Developed by Gearbox Software, Borderlands delivers this year&#39;s most explosive and entertaining role-playing shooter (RPS) by combining the most addictive gaming elements found in action-packed first-person shooters with the deep character development of role-playing games (RPG).</p><p>&#34;We are excited by the overwhelmingly positive media response to Borderlands and can&#39;t wait for consumers to see for themselves how it takes the traditional first-person shooter experience and turns it completely upside down,&#34; said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. &#34;Borderlands is unlike anything else on store shelves. It&#39;s got it all, from single-player to four-player co-op, two-player split-screen, character development that grants players a sense of ownership, and the biggest arsenal ever seen in a first-person shooter.&#34;</p><p>Featuring extensive co-op integration that seamlessly blends the single-player and multiplayer experiences, Borderlands allows players to freely join or leave each other&#39;s games at any time for collaborative mayhem or the freedom to choose to play in full single-player mode to experience the world on their own. Borderlands also includes a groundbreaking weapon generation system that offers a near infinite variety of weapons to the player. Borderlands combines these features with addictive non-stop action to form a breakthrough experience that challenges the conventions of modern shooters and RPGs.</p><p>More mayhem is set to come for players of Borderlands via The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, the first in a series of downloadable expansion packs, which is scheduled to arrive for all platforms before the end of the year.</p><p>&#34;The Borderlands team at Gearbox has brought together the things we know we love &#8211; co-op, skill-based action, character development and millions of guns &#8211; in a way we haven&#39;t seen before,&#34; said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. &#34;Borderlands is a great shooter that we can play alone or with friends. I think it&#39;s the best video game we&#39;ve ever made and I have never been more excited about a launch.&#34;</p><p>As one of this holiday season&#39;s most unique and entertaining titles, Borderlands takes gun lust to a new level by featuring more than 17 million unique weapons. Each weapon has its own combination of manufacturer, specifications and advantages for gamers to wreak havoc on the evils of the wasteland planet of Pandora as they embark on a quest for the elusive Vault. Add Borderlands&#39; eye-popping and visually compelling art style known as Concept Art Style that combines traditional rendering techniques with hand-drawn textures, and it is easy to see why 2K Games and Gearbox Software have created the must-have game of the year. Additionally, the Windows PC version will support NVIDIA&#174; 3D Vision&#8482;, for high resolution, fully immersive 3D gaming.</p><p>Borderlands is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5700 series adds further momentum to AMD visual computing  leadership</p><p>SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- AMD (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=AMD" target="_blank">NYSE: AMD</a>) recently unveiled the ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5770 and ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5750 graphics cards, adding two more models to the world&#39;s first and only suite of graphics cards to fully support Microsoft Direct X&#174; 11 technology and ATI Eyefinity multi-monitor support. With the addition of the ATI Radeon HD 5700 series, AMD is providing PC gamers and multimedia enthusiasts with four great choices to fully enjoy the Microsoft Windows 7 experience.</p><p>&#39;The ATI Radeon HD 5800 series reaffirmed AMD as the undisputed leader in visual computing technology,&#39; said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, AMD Products Group. &#39;Now, the ATI Radeon HD 5700 series takes the same great features like ATI Eyefinity and ATI Stream technology as well as full hardware support for all DirectX 11 features, and bundles them into products priced well below $2002.&#39;</p><p>    * ATI Radeon HD 5700 graphics cards deliver more than 1 TeraFLOPS of compute power, ensuring superior performance in the latest DirectX&#174; 11 games, as well as in DirectX&#174; 9, DirectX&#174; 10, DirectX&#174; 10.1 and OpenGL titles.  With a powerful graphics core built on 40nm process technology and up to 800 stream processors, gamers can enjoy DirectX 11 games now, such as EA Phenomic&#39;s Battleforge and many more titles on the way,  including:<br />          o S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Call of Pripyat from GSC Game World,<br />          o Dirt&#8482; 2 from Codemasters,<br />          o Aliens vs. Predator&#8482; from Rebellion,<br />          o Update to The Lord of the Rings Online&#8482; from Turbine,<br />          o Update to Dungeons and Dragons Online&#174; Eberron Unlimited&#8482; from Turbine.<br />      With over 20 DirectX 11 titles currently in development, gamers can be ready with DirectX&#174; 11 hardware this holiday season.<br />    * Today&#39;s ATI Eyefinity technology enables up to three monitors to be used with a single ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5770 or ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5750 graphics card, delivering the most immersive gaming experience with a graphics card priced below $2003.<br />    * New features and functionality of ATI Stream technology allow users to harness both AMD CPUs and the ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5700 series graphics cards  to maximize their computing experience, helping to improve the performance of  enabled media, entertainment and productivity applications.  ATI Stream technology and the HD 5700 series support both DirectX 11 Direct Compute and OpenCL industry standards4.<br />    * For those who want to enjoy a home theatre experience, the ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5700 series supports the latest HD audio technologies such as Dolby&#174; TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and HDMI 3.1. This high level audio support allows users to fully utilize the multiple audio channels embedded in today&#39;s Blu-rayTM discs for the ultimate in HD home entertainment.<br />    * In addition to delivering tremendous DirectX 11 performance, the ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5700 series also leads in power efficiency consuming as little as 16 watts at idle, less than a third the amount of power required by the average household 60 watt light bulb.</p><p>Ecosystem support</p><p>The ATI Radeon&#8482; HD 5700 series and ATI Radeon HD 5800 series of graphics cards are supported by a dozen add-in-board companies, including ASK, Asus, Diamond, Gigabyte, High Tech, MSI, Sapphire, Tul/Power Color, Visiontek and XFX.<br />Supporting Quotes</p><p>Industry Analysts</p><p>Jon Peddie Research<br />&#39;I have to say that even the most enthusiastic reviews of ATI Eyefinity don&#39;t fully capture just how impressive this technology is, not to mention the potential opportunities and applications it unlocks.  AMD has taken a bold step forward by enabling three, and soon six, monitors from one graphics card.&#39; &#8211; Jon Peddie, founder, Jon Peddie Research</p><p>Mercury Research<br />&#34;Over the last decade, graphics processors supporting each new version of DirectX have achieved high volume shipments earlier in their life cycles than their predecessors. Our forecast is that DirectX 11 capable GPUs will continue this trend with the fastest transition between technologies ever, resulting in shipments surpassing DirectX 10 GPUs in 2010.&#34; &#8211; Dean McCarron, founder, Mercury Research<br />Game Developers</p><p>Codemasters &#8211; Developers of DIRT 2<br />&#39;DirectCompute 11 is a huge step forward from DirectCompute 10 (which was all that was available in hardware up to DirectX 10.1).  The increased flexibility means that for most uses it&#39;s far more efficient and there are cases of 2x or better improvement by moving to DirectCompute 11. With DirectCompute 11and the awesome power of the ATI Radeon HD 5700 and ATI Radeon HD 5800 series of graphics products, the future is really here.&#39; &#8211; Bryan Marshall, CTO, Codemasters</p><p>EA Phenomic &#8211; Developers of BattleForge<br />&#39;I love the improvements I see when BattleForge is played on DirectX 11 hardware.  AMD has been tremendously supportive of our move to DirectX 11, making their ATI Radeon HD 5700 series cards available to us ahead of launch to ensure an incredible experience when playing BattleForge, and it shows.  This game looks great and performs better than ever.&#39; &#8211; Dirk Ringe, vice president, EA Phenomic</p><p>GSC Game World &#8211; Developers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Prypiat<br />&#34;The entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series was designed to capture the starkness of a post-apocalyptic world, and DirectX 11 has helped us to establish that environment.  When coupled with support for ATI Eyefinity multi-monitor technology, the visual improvements introduced with DirectX 11 create a level of immersiveness that makes S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Prypiat a riveting game to play.&#34; &#38;#8722; Ruslan Didenko, Project Lead, GSC Game World</p><p>Rebellion &#8211; Developers of Aliens vs. Predator<br />  &#39;DirectCompute 11 offers a number of advantages over Direct Compute 10; better performance, more features, and greater flexibility.  The ATI Radeon HD 5750 and ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards  has DirectCompute 11 support today, so why would I even think about using an older version of Direct Compute&#39; &#8211; Chris Kingsley, CTO, Rebellion</p><p>Turbine &#8211; Developers of The Lord of the Rings Online&#8482; and Dungeons and Dragons Online&#174;: Eberron Unlimited&#8482;<br /> &#39;Updating our titles to DirectX 11 is great for our players.  Microsoft&#39;s latest API delivers performance enhancements and image quality improvements, a one-two punch that is sure to deliver an even better game experience!&#39; &#8211; Christopher Dyl, CTO, Turbine</p><p>Trinigy &#8211; Developers of the Vision Game Engine<br />&#39;For years, Trinigy has prided itself on developing innovative game engine technology that frees developers to create incredible game experiences. The Vision Engine&#39;s support for DirectX 11 and the ATI Radeon HD 5700 series of graphics cards keeps us on the leading edge of game development by helping studios deliver superior graphics and ultra-realistic game environments without compromising frame rates.  We think that many developers using the Vision Engine will agree that making games with DirectX 11 will lift their games to a whole new level of realism.&#39;<br />- Dag Frommhold, managing director, Trinigy</p><p>Unigine &#8211; Developers of the Unigine Game Engine<br />&#34;At Unigine we&#39;ve always prided ourselves on implementing and showcasing the latest in PC graphics technology. DirectX 11 introduces new elaborated design and raises gaming performance to amazing levels while providing great backward compatibility with DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 hardware.

Expanding the game to a social networking site like Facebook allows players to easily challenge their friends, see how others are scoring, and share the fun.&#34;</p><p>&#34;Our goal was to create a fun, interactive, game. Sure, online games help us build our brand, but as a gamer myself, I feel it&#39;s important to create games people actually want to play, not just advertisements dressed up as games.&#34;</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID105573 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=AUT">Automotive</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=GAM">Computer Gaming</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=INS">Insurance</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Computer-Gaming/~4/P_6CGVG81AA" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exciting New Wager Available Beginning October 10th </p><p>October 13, 2009 &#8211; Racingworld Technology Ltd. (RWT) announced today that it is successfully launched its new 123racing pari-mutuel wager for the first time in the U.S. on Saturday October 10, 2009 on Philadelphia Park&#39;s races 4 &#8211; 9. The 123racing wager will be available daily on the Philadelphia Park card.</p><p>A $2 base bet entitles the bettor to one pick in each designated race, after which they are awarded points for selecting the first, second and third place finishers. </p><p>As bettors accumulate points they are ranked on a dynamic leaderboard, in essence competing against one another as they vie for the top leaderboard spot and a share of the pari-mutuel pool.</p><p>While providing the added interest of competing on the 123racing leaderboard, the points system also offers benefits to those new to pari-mutuel wagering or those intimidated by a traditional pick six because a bettor is not shut out if his or her picks don&#39;t win in early races.   In fact, because points are awarded based on the win, place and show payouts, a player can easily come from behind to move up the leaderboard.  Plus, there is always a winner in 123racing, with the top three points scorers taking a share of the pool at the conclusion of the event. It combines the key element and excitement of fantasy sports with live horse racing.</p><p><br />&#34;We are thrilled to bring the123racing wager to the U.S.&#34; Said Robert Earle, CEO of Racingworld Technology. &#34;The concept has been proven in free-play promotions and we are confident that 123racing offers an exciting new way to experience betting; one that will appeal to a broad group of bettors.&#34;  </p><p><br />Prior to introducing the 123racing pari-mutuel bet type in the U.S., RWT has been providing a free-play version in the U.S. since 2006 for customers such as Monmouth Park (<a href="http://www.survivalattheshore.com" target="_blank">www.survivalattheshore.com</a>), The Meadowlands Racetrack (<a href="http://www.survival-challenge.com" target="_blank">www.survival-challenge.com</a>) and in Canada for Woodbine Entertainment Group, where the 123racing.ca free-play website is promoted as an interactive skill contest on live horse racing twice per week on Canada&#39;s biggest TV Sports network - Thescore.ca.</p><p><br />123racing was developed by Racingworld Technology and licensed to Scientific Games Racing, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation (<a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=SGMS" target="_blank">NASDAQ: SGMS</a>), under the terms of an exclusive licensing and distribution agreement.  123racing is available exclusively to tracks and OTBs serviced by Scientific Games Racing.
