Jarvis Entertainment Partners with the Zootec Group

Zoogi acts as a matchmaker for people who love to play games online. Zoogi is also a virtual community, where players of all sorts find their perfect match, play games, and challenge each other for real cash or just for fun while conversing and collaborating using instant messaging and chat communication. Zoogi is legal for most US citizens, since they are allowed to wager on one-on-one skills based but not on games of chance. Bets are made only between two real players, not against the house, a computer, or any other third party.

``This strategic partnership fulfills our vision of the complete online gaming experience, allowing our users to do anything they want within the realm of online gaming,'' said John Jarvis, President and CEO of JRVE. ``Gamers come to us for great games, gaming news, and now they'll be able to challenge each other to one-on-one or multi-player games for cash and prizes.''

``Zoogi offers a new source of traffic, increased site and game stickiness, and most importantly a non-advertising based business model that works,'' says Michael Gutman, CEO of Zootec.

By using a pre-paid or credit card, players can deposit money into Zoogi, agree on a wager, and play the game. Each player can see, on his own Zoogi, how much he has earned, how much he can withdraw, and how much is available for playing. Zoogi simulates a real world game-playing environment, using a numerical rating system (ranging from 1200 to 2500 points) according to skill, as well as its own credibility ranking as an indicator of a player's trustworthiness for real money games.

Zootec provides a fun yet professional environment that meets the needs of players from all ends of the gaming spectrum, using the latest in technologies to provide easy, reliable, and secure online e-services that are complemented by an efficient 24/7 friendly customer support center.

In addition, Zootec is currently in ongoing discussions to embed its online gaming platform directly into numerous game sites to facilitate their own users to play skills-based games for real money against each other. Zootec is expanding its palette of services to include seamless game integration, a developer's tool kit as well as tournament, ladder and multiplayer solutions.

Founded in 1999, Zootec B.V designs, develops and markets technologies and solutions for the online gaming community. Zootec is headquartered in the Netherlands and has an R&D facility based in Ramat Gan, Israel. Zootec is backed by venture capital firm eXseed Technology Investments and private European investors.

Jarvis Entertainment Group, Inc., develops and markets Internet based entertainment systems and Internet solutions for the on-site entertainment industry and the on-line consumer. The Company is well positioned to capture a significant share of a growing market segment and believes its products represent the definitive solution for the integration of consumer based entertainment technology for on-line and on-site venues.
