According to Paul Barnes, AGS Vice President of Sales & Marketing, "As the online gaming market grows and becomes more competitive, casino and lottery operators are demanding new features and broader services. Whereas the AGS platform is already in live operation in the regulated land-based market with over 100 games, we wanted to offer as standard a product with leading-edge graphical richness for those customers preferring an "off-the-shelf" solution rather than our usual customised solution.

``Our new product combines the best of both worlds by retaining the key regulatory and open content advantages of the AGS platform and at the same time offering a range of superlative modern casino games".

AGS have started a play-for-fun site using the new product.

The AGS interactive gaming system is an extremely secure, scalable, robust and high performance transaction processing architecture for interactive gaming via the internet, interactive television and wireless networks, supporting Casino, Instant Lotto, Draw Lotto and Sports Betting games.

It was the first internet gaming system in the world to be certified by a government gaming authority in a fully regulated jurisdiction.

The AGS System has been licensed to major gaming operators in Australia, Austria, Germany, France, Holland, Norway and the United Kingdom. Access has more than 50 staff developing, supplying and servicing the on-line gaming industry.
