Monday May 1, 10:43 am ET
Games will include Advanced Roulette and 100 Play Power Poker

GIBRALTAR, May 1 /PRNewswire/ — Belle Rock Entertainment has consistently stayed ahead of the curve when it comes to offering players the most entertaining and lucrative games in the industry. With three new additions to their already expansive gaming roster, Belle Rock Entertainment offers players on River Belle Online Casino, Lucky Nugget Online Casino., The Gaming Club Online Casino, , and Jackpot City Online Casino, the chance to play the most dynamic and engaging games on the web. An all-star lineup of European Roulette Gold Series, Double Joker 100 Play Power Poker and Avalon Video Slot have just become available to players, so if you’re looking to try something new, Belle Rock Entertainment’s online casinos are the place to start.

European Roulette Gold Series
This roulette game is far and away the best of its type on the Internet. Player screens that offer razor sharp visual quality, crystal clear ambient sounds that set the mood, and little details like Bet Timers and easy to use control buttons, come together to give players the authentic roulette table experience. European Roulette Gold Series is the difference between trying to recreate the excitement of the casino, and wondering why you ever bothered going to the casino in the first place.

Double Joker 100 Play Power Poker
You could argue that multi-play Power Poker is the bread and butter of online casinos in that everybody has to have it. Of course, if that’s the case, then Double Joker 100 Play Power Poker is the strawberry jam, giving players the ability to play up to 100 hands of video poker at a time. Sitting down to play Double Joker 100 is a test of your wits, concentration, and endurance. For the person with the right mix of all three, it could also be one of the most lucrative seats around.

Avalon Video Slot
Avalon is a 5 reel, 20 Payline video slot that holds many secrets and treasures for those bold enough to find them. With free spins, mystery multipliers, Scatter and two Wild opportunities as well as a Gamble feature where the intrepid can double of quadruple their wins, the possible payout is $105,000. That’s enough to make Avalon Video Slot an epic in its own right.

“As established industry leaders we’re in a position to push the envelope with our games, expanding and refining our core offerings so that our customers can experience the best possible gambling experience,” said Tim Johnson, Chairman of Carmen Media Group, owner of Belle Rock Entertainment.

Player BIGSLICKD, a teacher from Saskatchewan, Canada, received the $100,000 prize after winning six consecutive online Fort Knox sit ‘n’ go tournaments. The player was one of three Titan Pokerplayers to win the coveted $100,000 Fort Knox prize during the month of April.

“The greatest moment in my life happened recently,” the player said, after his tournament win. “I managed to win the Fort Knox $100,000 Jackpot. I couldn’t believe that I actually did it, but I did and it was amazing. I just kept saying to myself, WOW! I just won 100,000 dollars, and it took me less than 5 hours!”

Player BIGSLICKD joined Titan Poker at the beginning of April, received a small bonus from the Titan Poker support team, and began winning the popular sit ‘n’ go jackpot tournaments immediately.

Player SKINLIPS, a firefighter from Houston, Texas, also won a $100,000 Fort Knox Jackpot Prize during the month of April. “This jackpot has helped to make my family’s dreams come true. I am forever grateful to Titan Poker for giving me a place to develop the skills I needed to win,” he said.

Also available at Titan Poker are the popular Rio and Maui Progressive Jackpot Sit ‘N’ Go Tournaments, which offer starting jackpots of $25,000 and $15,000 respectively.

The $100 Million Jackpot Prize is re-insured by National Indemnity Company, which is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRKA) – one of the world’s biggest insurance companies.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (MARKET WIRE) — 05/01/2006 — 79% year-over-year Q1 2006 revenue growth and profitable quarter

Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) or (”LVFH”) (TSX VENTURE:LVH)(OTCBB: LVFHF)(BERLIN:LVH)(FWB:LVH) today announced results from operations for its year ended December 31, 2005, the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2005 and the first quarter period ended March 31, 2006.

All financial figures are in Canadian dollars.

Q1 Fiscal 2006 Financial Results:-

First quarter revenues were $3,741,055 as compared with revenues of $2,085,311 in the same period a year ago, growth of 79% year-over-year and 5% versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2005. Revenues grew as a result of increased usage of the Company’s Gaming Software. The Company had net income for the quarter of $315,128 as compared to $364,329 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2005.

“I am pleased to report another quarter of growth and profitability,” stated Jake Kalpakian, President and CEO of Las Vegas. “Despite increased expenditures associated with strengthening our infrastructure by opening another office to assist in software development and bolstering our workforce to 86 full-time employees from 60 during the corresponding period in 2005, the continuation of our financial commitment to the Heartland Poker Tour in the US (”HPT”) and incurring a loss of $234,106 in revenues due to the weakening of the US dollar, the Company posted a net profit of $315,128.”

Mr. Kalpakian continues, “More importantly, the daily rake revenue generated by the licensing and operation of our software (excluding one time up-front licensing fees and administration fees), perhaps the most important operating barometer, continued to grow to an average of US $34,591 per day.”

Q4 Fiscal 2005 Financial Results:-

Fourth quarter revenues were $3,561,718 as compared with revenues of $1,073,518 in the same period a year ago, growth of 231% year over year. Revenues grew as a result of increased usage of the Company’s Gaming Software. The Company incurred a net loss for the quarter of $177,218 as compared to a net loss of $3,461,006 in the corresponding period of 2004.

Commenting on the Q4 results, Mr. Kalpakian states, “The fourth quarter was unfairly impacted by some non-operating expenses. In fact, the core business performed well showing continued growth.”

A combination of promotional expense of $209,438 actually incurred over the previous three quarters but recognized in Q4, as well as a year end write down of marketable securities of $167,927 all impacted the Company’s fourth quarter results. Furthermore, the Company’s funding of start up production costs in relation to its exclusive sponsorship of the Heartland Poker Tour (”HPT”) of $270,200 was also recognized in Q4. Had it not been for the three aforementioned expenses, the Company would have made a profit of about $470,000.

Mr. Kalpakian added, “While the expense of funding the production costs of HPT affected the bottom line, the growth of the televised tournament is well worth the price when compared to its potential future value. The show originated in October, 2005, reaching a potential 9 million viewers over 5 stations in the U.S. Midwest and has now grown to a potential audience of 35 million over 13 stations and growing. This is the type of expenditure that the Company will make from time to time to assist both growth and brand equity recognition.”

Fiscal year end 2005 Financial Results:-

Annual revenues were $11,721,318 as compared with revenues of $1,983,964 in the same period a year ago, growth of 490% year over year. Revenues grew as a result of increased usage of the Company’s Gaming Software. Net income for the year ended was $1,088,741 as compared to a net loss of $5,346,512 in the corresponding period of 2004. Total Assets were $12,819,608 as compared to $2,582,847 in the same period a year ago, growth of 396% year over year.

2006 Outlook

Industry indications and trends remain buoyant as the sector continues to enjoy solid results. Despite the strong results, the industry is starting to consolidate.

For any company to remain competitive in the industry, it must either offer a full choice of verticals to the gaming customer or carve either a dominant or niche space in the marketplace. The large number of online gaming sites and the increasingly higher barriers to profitable scale mean that consolidation will be seen by many operators as an attractive exit going forward.

The Company’s core business of licensing and operating poker software continues to show momentum. In 2006, the Company expects to achieve revenues between $16 to $20 million alone from its current poker-concentrated software offering. A new stream of revenues is also expected to be generated with the launching of a separate Asian Software platform.

The Company’s two main brands, www.tigergaming.com and www.actionpoker.com should see continued growth as both brands are preparing to launch highly visible marketing campaigns related to this year’s World Series of Poker later this summer.

The Company is in the process of establishing an office in Costa Rica which is expected to generate further licensing and other business opportunities.

As stated above, additional revenues are expected to be generated with the launching of the Company’s new Asian Software platform which is scheduled to be released in Q2 2006. This Asian initiative will not only lessen the Company’s dependence on its current business derived from one specific region, it could possibly fuel strong growth by introducing “Early or First to Market” software of already recognized and popular games in that market not yet found on the internet.

While it is pre-mature to estimate what revenue the new Asian Software platform will generate, the Company is hopeful the combination of its unique software, early or first mover advantage coupled with promising relationships will generate positive results.

The Company has made geographical diversification of both its customers and products, such as the Asian Software platform, as one of its primary objectives in 2006. In fact, plans are underway to follow this initiative of customer and product diversification to other targeted regions.

With the Company having a solid balance sheet, expanded operational infrastructure, growing demand for its core product, an innovative product pipeline and the soon to be released Asian Software platform, the Company is well positioned for continued growth.

LVFH’s financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2005, and for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Casino on Net / 888 Casino blacklisted by GamesandCasino.com

Casino on Net is a well known casino that has been operating online for many years. During that time, an ongoing debate has been waging between affiliates of Casino on Net (also known as 888 Casino) and the casino itself regarding the casino’s illegal and immoral advertising practices.

The debate and ensuing accusations started with the casino’s purported use of spyware companies for advertising purposes. However, the effectiveness of this type of campaign has been deminished due to easy access and use of spyware removers such as AdAware so the casinos had to find other methods of advertisement. They should have taken this opportunity to clean up their act and employ honest methods of advertising. That didn’t happen. Some of Casino on Net’s latest schemes include paying certain affiliates to advertise them using stolen content from other sites (known as scraping) and allowing employees to blog-spam. This kind of action from a publicly held company is dishonest and unethical.

Casino on Net / 888 Casino has been blacklisted by GamesandCasino.com until such time as all sites containing illegal content have been removed from the internet.

You can monitor and get up to date information about the battle for honest and ethical advertising on this page of GamesandCasino.com.
