Press Release Body = CyberArts Licensing announced today two significant additions
to its company roster - veteran Silicon Valley software executive Rudi Diezmann, and
Mark Simpson, a well-known sales leader in the European technology sector.

Simpson steps into the role of CyberArts\' European Sales Director, responsible for
all sales activities in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Simpson\'s career has
been marked by executive leadership posts at top technology companies. Most recently
he served as Regional Sales Director-Europe for IP address infrastructure provider
Nominum. Simpson has previously held senior management positions at Orbis,
Nativeminds, Kana, HNC Telecommunications Division and QSP PLC. "Europe is
ground-central for the online gaming industry," commented Simpson. "And I\'m excited
about the opportunity to establish CyberArts\' European presence to meet the growing
demand for our software."

Recently hired as Vice President of Engineering, Rudi Diezmann has served in a
variety of executive positions during his 30-plus years in hardware and software
development. Most recently Diezmann was Entrepreneur in Residence and Director of
Software Development, ePaper Enterprise Solutions, for Adobe Systems. Diezmann has
held executive management and senior positions with General Electric, Honeywell,
Sperry-Univac, Cisco Systems, Oracle, and Apple Computer. Noted Diezmann,
"CyberArts is well-known as a technical powerhouse, and I look forward to continuing
the effort to deliver best-of-breed software to a growing list of diverse
licensees."

The San Francisco-based software developer is the creator of CyberArts Foundation, a
client-server software platform for building industrial-strength, multi-player games
of skill like poker, blackjack and backgammon. Licensees have included industry
leaders like Mansion.com, World Poker Tour and Tony G Poker. "We have several deals
of the same caliber in the wings, and we have begun to expand staff significantly to
meet demand," said Ken Arnold, Chairman of the CyberArts Board. The company hasn\'t
been particularly impacted by recent US gambling restrictions. "To the contrary, our
key differentiators - our software is truly global, truly customizable and 100%
licensable -allow us to support savvy operators who are facing geographies outside
the U.S."

Additionally, the company has seen an uptick in the US market as a result of
operators working with CyberArts to create legal forms of online gaming. "We\'re
seeing companies exploring legal models - like advertising-supported services -­ as
well as intra-facility and intra-state gaming, which is opening up due to recent
Nevada legislation," said Arnold. "To exploit these opportunities we continue to add
features-and staff."

CyberArts will be exhibiting at booth #306 during the Las Vegas-based Gaming
Technology Summit () May 22-24, and booth #405 at the
Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo (), June 5-7, in
Montreal.
