888 Holdings Plc ('888' or the 'Company') 888 signs partnership agreement with GTS 888, one of the world's most popular online gaming entertainment companies, today announces the signing of a partnership agreement with Gaming Technology Solutions PLC ("GTS"), a leading global supplier of end-to-end soft gaming solutions. Under the agreement 888 and GTS have created a new gaming integration standard, built around the open GTS EdGE gaming platform and 888's Integration Platform, which will enable 888 to accelerate time to market for new games across multiple territories. The expanded application program interface (API) offered by EdGE and 888's Integration Platform combined with the GTS localisation tool for 26 languages allows local games developers to tap into 888's global footprint and makes the integration for 888 an almost turnkey activity. 888 and GTS will launch own label games and third party games on the newly created API during Q2 2008. Commenting, Gigi Levy, CEO of 888, said: "This is another key development in opening up our platform to easy integration of games from other providers in diverse geographical markets. We believe that with GTS we have created the most comprehensive and integrated API in the online gaming industry enabling us to be the first to offer new and exciting games to our fast growing community of players across the globe." Steven Matsell of GTS said: "We are delighted that 888 have chosen GTS as their games integration partner and have selected the EdGE platform and API as the most flexible solution to deliver the best games from world class developers. We are looking forward to working with one of the world's most popular online gaming entertainment companies, providing them with the flexibility they need to deliver content across all their channels." - ends - Contacts and enquiries: 888 Gigi Levy, Chief Executive Officer +350 49 800 Aviad Kobrine, Chief Financial Officer +350 49 800 Bell Pottinger Corporate & Financial Ann-marie Wilkinson / Nick Lambert / Andrew Benbow +44 (0) 20 7861 3232 Notes to Editors Gaming Technology Solutions PLC ("GTS") Formed in 2005 Gaming Technology Solutions ( GTS plc ) is a leading provider of cross channel gaming solutions for online gaming operations.
