MACAU AND SINGAPORE TO SCREEN WPT ACTION

(400) (7-September-2006)

154 countries now show the World Poker Tour games

Asian poker fans will get to see the World Poker Tour action following a deal signed this week between World Poker Tour Enterprises and Macau Cable in Macau and MediaCorp in  Singapore.

WPT shows now air in 154 territories across the globe.

Macau is one of the highest volume gaming regions in the world where Macau Cable will air the WPT's Season One while MediaCorp, the largest broadcaster in Singapore, will feature Season Two for its viewers.

"These two deals give us a secure foothold in Southeast Asia, along with our deals in the Philippines," said Gary MacKinney , WPTE executive director of international distribution. "With the long history of gaming in Macau and the recent licenses issued to a number of international gaming giants who will build or run major new casinos, this area is only going to get hotter."

WPTE also announced that it has made the initial international sale of its new Professional Poker Tour (PPT) to Canada's City TV. Other recent deals include the first WPTE broadcasting commitment in Spain where Fox will air WPT's Season One. In addition to the PPT, Canada's City TV will air the recently completed WPT Season Four.
