Vienna, 5 December 2008 --- Casinos Austria International (CAI) will be taking advantage of its participation at the International Gaming Expo (IGE) from 27-29 January 2009 in Earls Court, London to showcase its exciting new portfolio of gaming products and services.

"We are very excited about these new developments," said CEO Paul Herzfeld. "The move is part of a recent restructuring program in the Casinos Austria Group and will enable CAI to grow its international business by building on the strengths of the Group. It puts us in a unique position in the gaming industry and further confirms our reputation for innovation and as a key partner for investors, casino operators and gaming service providers around the world," he added.

CAI can now offer its clients a complete range of gaming solutions from a single source coupled with the assurance of the Casinos Austria Group's experience and know-how in all sectors of the gaming industry. This makes CAI the ideal partner for investors from outside the industry as well as for casino companies wishing to expand into new areas or market segments, ensuring they maximize their potential and optimize their success.

The new IGE brings together the former ICE and ICEi shows under one roof for the first time and is one of the world's premier gaming industry events. With record exhibitor and anticipated visitor numbers, IGE offers CAI an ideal forum to present its new portfolio of customized, full-service gaming solutions.
