Caliente Goes Live with SportXction(R) System; GIG's First Non-European Partner Launches System in Ten Race & Sports Books.

WEST PATERSON, N.J. -- Interactive Systems Worldwide, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:ISWI) partner, Hipodromo de Agua Caliente S.A. de C.V. (Caliente), one of Latin America's largest gaming companies, has gone live with the SportXction System in ten locations.

Caliente owns and/or provides services to 160 betting shops, known as Race & Sports Books, throughout Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. The SportXction System software is licensed from Global Interactive Gaming Ltd. (GIG), a wholly owned subsidiary of ISWI, through agreements signed in August. Under the terms of the agreement, GIG provided software and services that enabled Caliente to offer this enhanced play-by-play sports betting service in all of its Race & Sports Books locations. The soft launch is expected to run for approximately three months, after which time the SportXction system will be rolled out throughout Caliente's Race & Sports Books. The enhanced betting capabilities are also expected to be available on Caliente's website in the future.

Caliente is operating the play-by-play betting service using its own personnel. GIG has provided initial set-up support and some software customization and training, and will provide on-going technical assistance. The agreement specifies monthly service fees for technical assistance, as well as monthly license fees based on the handle derived from the enhanced play-by-play betting service.

Bernard Albanese, chief executive officer of ISWI, said: "We are excited to have Caliente, GIG's first non-European partner, launch so soon after the contract signing. This rapid implementation is a testament to the dedication and hard work of employees at both companies, and we look forward to the deployment of the SportXction system throughout the entire Caliente network."

The Company's goal is to replicate this model in other parts of the world, and discussions are pending with other potential licensing partners.

"The launching of this new project has been a great joint effort on which we have been working non-stop with one objective: to provide Caliente customers with a state-of-the-art and unique betting product," said Victor de La Fuente, Corporate Director of Wagering and New Projects for Caliente.

The agreement between Caliente and GIG is for an initial 3-year term. Caliente expects to make the SportXction system available for American football, baseball, soccer, golf, tennis and basketball. Caliente offers its wagering opportunities in both English and Spanish.
