Friday 5th March 2004



Sky Vegas Live, Sky TVs new digital, interactive gambling channel is to launch today (Thursday) at 6.00pm (GMT). The channel, which will broadcast every night until 2.00am from what is being described as a ‘state of the art virtual TV studio’ (your guess is as good as ours), offers a Super Keno draw with a jackpot of £1 million.

'Players can vary their stake per card from £1 to £100 and the £1 million jackpot on the 'Super Keno 15' game will increase with every bet over £2 until someone wins it,' explained a spokesman for the channel. 'Statistically viewers who play-along can expect to win a prize at least 50% of the time they play.'

Pete Ward, Executive Producer of Sky Vegas Live, said: 'Sky Vegas Live gives viewers everything to play for - a slick and attractive channel with high pay-outs. The virtual TV studio will be the first of its kind and will give viewers the Vegas buzz in their living room and attract viewers who will enjoy a new betting experience.'

Virtual horse and dog racing will be available soon, according to the channel, with more games promised for later in the year.
