About Diamond I, Inc.
Diamond I, Inc. is a development-stage company that develops wireless
gaming products, including a hand-held Wi-Fi-based gaming system for
on-premises use by casinos/resorts, known as "WifiCasino GS Concierge and
Gaming System"(TM). The term "Wi-Fi" (wireless fidelity) refers to an
industry standard for wireless equipment that meets published 802.11(x)
standards. Wi-Fi equipment operates in unlicensed spectra, such as 2.4 and
5.8 Ghz.
With the passage of Nevada Law AB471, which authorizes the use of mobile
communication devices for gaming in public areas in Nevada casinos, Diamond
I seeks to secure a Las Vegas hotel/casino to serve as the demonstration
site for its WifiCasino GS, in conjunction with its application for a
gaming license in Nevada. To that end, in a letter of intent, The Palms
Resort and Casino has agreed to continue to develop a working relationship
relating to Diamond I's WifiCasino GS and, assuming Diamond I continues to
meet certain standards, The Palms stated that it intends to pursue an
opportunity with Diamond I. Diamond I continues to seek venues in which to
establish its WifiCasino GS system, including other U.S. casinos and horse
and dog racing facilities. Diamond I has had preliminary discussions with
certain owners of cruise ships, certain owners of horse racing facilities
in the United States and dog and horse racing facilities outside the United
States.
