June 10 - NetPlay TV plc, an interactive gaming company, and Turner
Media Innovations, have announced the signing of a strategic partnership which
will allow NetPlay TV's Supercasino formats to be broadcast on Nuts TV Channel.

Blackjack through its live TV Supercasino formats on Nuts TV Channel. The games

channels in 17 languages across almost 100 countries in Africa, Europe and the
Middle East.

delighted to be working with Turner Media Innovations. Nuts TV Channel has a
good fit in terms of audience for our casino products , and will, we believe,
prove an excellent destination for us as we migrate our products into the
Supercasino.com brand."
Damon Letzer, Commercial Director of Turner Media Innovations commented:
"This is an exciting deal which will develop our gaming strategy on Nuts TV and
we are delighted that NetPlay are on board. We are confident Supercasino will
offer a strong viewer experience, which is important as we continue to grow our
TV audience."
