INCLINE VILLAGE, NV--(Marketwired - May 6, 2014) - Consorteum Holdings, Inc. ("Consorteum" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CSRH), an international transaction management and mobile solutions provider, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, ThreeFiftyNine Inc., has entered into a binding agreement with XpertX Inc. to develop a mobile offering for XpertX's existing keno gaming service. This agreement follows on the heels of ThreeFiftyNine's new partner program announcement. With proof-of-concept now validated, this new mobile offering is designed to deliver a state-of-the-art mobile Keno solution to virtually any mobile device, regardless of operating system.
Per the agreement, ThreeFiftyNine will enable XpertX to deliver mobile solutions that allow for the delivery of mobile content across a wide range of devices. ThreeFiftyNine simplifies the delivery of a rich mobile experience to the end user by addressing compliance, administration and distribution of mobile content to any handset. The ultimate objective is to reduce the complexities of the mobile world and simplify the publishing of digital content.
Consorteum worked closely with XpertX, widely recognized as an industry leader in Keno gaming, to validate the mobile app capabilities. XpertX is also the top manufacturer and supplier of live-action Keno systems and Keno-associated products and services. The combination of ThreeFiftyNine's mobile expertise coupled with XpertX's extensive Keno marketability and client following will facilitate the introduction and rollout of the mobile platform.
"We are very excited to join forces with XpertX, a recognized leader and innovator in Keno gaming since 1987. We believe the ability to deliver real-time gaming to Keno players will be extremely well received in every territory we introduce our application into. For the first time, a Keno player will be able to use their mobile phone and gain access to the results of Keno games played at casinos and Keno parlors across the United States. Mobile is clearly what the Keno customers want," Craig Fielding, CEO of Consorteum and President of ThreeFiftyNine, stated.
"We are extremely optimistic to join forces with ThreeFiftyNine bringing live Keno to mobile gaming," said XpertX founder and President Eric Thomassian. "The union of Keno and mobile gaming seamlessly integrates the time-honored game of Keno with the sweeping technology of the 21st century."
