World Gaming Shares Resume Trading

On October 25, 2005, the National Association of Securities Dealers (the "NASD"), acting pursuant to NASD Rule 6545, directed its members to halt trading and quotations for five business days in the over-the counter ("OTC") market of the Company's ADRs that were included in the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB").

The NASD trading halt was for five business days and expired on 01 November 2005. Quotations on the OTCBB of the Company's ADRs, however, could resume only after market makers of the Company's ADRs satisfy applicable requirements under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and NASD Rules. In particular, market makers will need to comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-11 by filing a Form 211 with the NASD.

The Company is pleased to announce that Paulson Investment Company, Inc. ("Paulson") has received approval to quote the Company's ADRs on the OTCBB. Paulson, Portland, Oregon, is a full service brokerage firm engaged in the purchase and sale of securities from and to the public and for its own account and in investment banking activities. Paulson's parent company, Paulson Capital Corp., is publicly traded (Nasdaq: PLCC).
