Arkadium Launches its Flagship Product - The Arkadium Gamedek

To date the skill game market, which Bear Stearns predicts will earn $2.55 billion by 2006, has been dominated by tournament websites that provide players no choice in how much they play for or who they play against. The Arkadium Gamedek revolutionizes online cash game play by allowing players to select the opponent of their choice and play them immediately in real-time in every game the system offers. "Cheating and individual game domination has become a big problem on most cash tournament sites," stated Jessica Rovello, Chairman of Arkadium. "By establishing a core community through chat, and giving users the ability to select their own opponent, Arkadium is bringing both fair play and an exciting new platform to Internet games."

In addition to real-time, one-on-one play, the Arkadium Gamedek supports tournament play, private and public chatting, rival tracking, individual profiles including avatars, themed game rooms, free play and more. All Gaemdek players are also given the ability to review any opponent's full game history (including average wager, expertise level and win/loss ratio) prior to play.

New members can easily join the Arkadium community by logging on to www.arkadium.com and downloading the less than 1MB software program. Due to individual state laws some players are restricted from playing games with cash prizes.
