CASINOMEISTER’S PRESS RELEASE:
1 April 2004

Doloplex Casino Group Purchases Casinomeister.com
After several months of secret negotiations, Bryan Bailey, the operator of the renowned online casino watchdog and player advocate site, has agreed to sell Casinomeister to the Doloplex Casino Group for an undisclosed amount. “This has been a difficult decision to make, but I feel that the Doloplex group will be able to carry on the mission at Casinomeister unrelentlessly. I am very proud of what I have accomplished so far, but it’s now time to hand over the torch and move on.”

Up until now, it’s been nearly a one man show. Casinomeister started merely six years ago in a small uptown San Diego apartment in southern California. Empowered with some HTML skills, a new version of Photoshop, and a diverse background from commercial fishing to jumping out of airplanes and blowing up things, he jumped again feet first into the weird world of online gaming. Bryan inadvertently became a spokesman for the online player. But his love for beer and a quiet life drove him to relocate in rural Germany where he hooked up with his robot sidekick Vortran007. Up until now, they have operated in a studio overlooking an apple orchard in Northern Bavaria.

Over the past few years they have solved hundreds of player complaints, and they have exposed countless online casino scams. “But with a booming casino industry it’s time to get more people involved. This is why I thought it would be best to just sell out,” stated Bryan in a recent telephone interview with MSNBC. “Let a group of people handle the player complaints and casino investigations. It’s too much for one guy and a robot.”

Doloplex spokesman Mr. X announced that “We are delighted in taking over Casinomeister. Bryan Bailey has some very big shoes to fill, but I am sure we will be able to fill these pleasantly. We have a large staff that can handle just about any task, and we don’t hire robots. Players will be happy to know that they will be in good hands with the new and improved Casinomeister. We have some very big things in store for everyone. I think players will be pleasantly surprised.”
