Weike Gaming Appoints New CEO

Weike Gaming Technology (S) Pte Ltd, Singapore's only licensed gaming machine and electronic gaming table manufacturer, announced today the appointment of new CEO, David Kinsman, effective from April 1st 2008. David brings to Weike a broad background in the international gaming industry, with specific experience and a track record in the gaming machine manufacturing area.

David has an extensive industry background having served as General Manager of Olympic Video Gaming in Australia, who, under his leadership became Australasia's no2 manufacturer to Aristocrat, and was sold to the IGT group in 1997 for A$178 million. David also served as General Manager of Vidco, and during his time developed that company?s multi player gaming machines. Vidco was sold to a group who renamed the company Star Games in 2001. He was then appointed CEO of Online Gaming Systems and most recently joined the Mansion group in Europe as its COO, in 2004.

Commenting on his new appointment at Weike, David said, "I am absolutely excited at the opportunity to join Weike, and the company's potential for rapid growth, especially in the Asian markets. As the only Singapore licensed manufacturer, with a predominantly Asian team, Weike is well placed to become a major manufacturer in the region and beyond. The company is at the forefront of gaming machine technology, and I believe will shortly be a major force in the world wide industry."

Weike Gaming develops and manufactures gaming machines, electronic gaming tables, electronic poker table, jackpot links, monitoring and player loyalty systems. The company has a manufacturing plant in Malaysia as well as Singapore. Weike has up till now concentrated its marketing activities on Indo-China, Malaysia and Singapore. With its new CEO now on board Weike will begin an expansion of both its product line and its markets, venturing "head-to-head" against the industry major players in most international markets.

Commenting further David said, "Weike is very much an Asian company with a young and very enthusiastic team, and we relish the opportunity to openly compete with the US and Australian based manufacturers who dominate this industry at present. I believe a company with Weike's heritage, and skilled technical team is perfectly placed to understand the Asian players needs better, and to develop gaming equipment which appeals more to Asian players."

Weike's first showing of its new product line up will be at the G2E show in Macau on June 4th and 5th 2008.
