PacificNet Games' New Gaming Machines Received Rave Reviews at the Asia GEM 2007 Gaming Show

Company Launches New Gaming Machines for the Philippine Market and Received

Positive Reviews from Asia's leading gaming operators

MANILA, Philippines, March 23 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- PacificNet, Inc. , a leading provider of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), mobile internet, e-commerce and gaming technology in China, announced today that its subsidiary, PacificNet Games Limited (PacGames), successfully presented its latest Multiplayer Electronic Gaming Machines (EGM), Sic-Bo Machines, Baccarat Machines, Roulette Machines, and Slot Machines at the GEM Gaming & Entertainment Plus Leisure Expo 2007 in Manila, Philippines, March 21-23 (http://www.asiangemphil.com/). The machines received rave reviews from some of the leading casino operators in Asia including praise from Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Casino Filipino Chairman, Efraim Genuino. PAGCOR is the Philippines' largest gaming operator. In addition to its exhibition booth, PacificNet Games also shared its Macau success story of its high-return multi-player gaming machines at the "Gaming & Investment Conference" on the first day of the conference.

While visiting PacificNet Games' exhibition booth, PAGCOR Chairman Efraim C. Genuino commented, "We welcome your effort in launching your gaming machines for the high growth Philippine market. As one of the leading gaming markets in Asia, we believe the Philippines will present huge opportunities for the leading gaming technology providers from all over the world."

Tony Tong, Chairman and CEO of PacificNet, said, "We are thankful to PAGCOR and Chairman Efraim Genuino for giving us this excellent opportunity to showcase our gaming products to PAGCOR and other operators and key players in the Philippine casino and gaming market. The Philippine gaming market is even bigger than Macau in terms of gaming machine installations and presents huge opportunities for PacificNet Games. This is the first time PacificNet has had a chance to showcase our latest gaming products at a leading international gaming expo in the Philippines. We believe the Philippine market will continue to grow rapidly as one of the top destinations for Chinese tourists from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, since it is only a 2 hour flight from Manila to Hong Kong."

"After achieving early success in the Macau gaming market we believe that we are ready to expand into other parts of Asia as we see strong demand and opportunities for growth in other Asian gaming markets," said Victor Tong, President of PacificNet. "We are satisfied with our success in Macau as we have quickly become one of the leading local suppliers of gaming machines to some of the most famous casinos in Macau and Asia. PacGames' multi-player Electronic Gaming Machines have quickly proven to be one of the best performing gaming machines designed for Asian players. We believe the Asian gaming market has huge growth potential and that we are well positioned to win more hotel-casino clients in order to capture a growing market share as a leading gaming technology provider throughout Asia."

According to recent report by Global Gaming Business, Jeffries Wall Street, the Philippine gaming market consists of about 5000 gaming machines, over 620 gaming tables, and over 8500 positions, and represents the second largest gaming market in Asia, after Macau.
