Under terms of the agreement, Progressive Gaming will license a select list of its gaming titles, including Texas Hold 'Em Bonus Poker(TM) and Caribbean Stud Poker, for use on Cantor's mobile gaming system in Nevada and other jurisdictions worldwide.
The parties also expect to finalize an agreement with respect to Progressive's sports systems, including the Rapid Bet Live(TM) sports wagering system, in the near future.

By combining Cantor's proven technology with our existing, successful gaming content, we believe that both companies are very well positioned to enjoy a significant share of the wireless, mobile gaming market."
