Peak Entertainment™ Sweeps Gambling Online Magazine's Annual Reader's Choice Awards

Group of Online Casinos and Gaming Properties Wins Unprecedented 8 Awards From GOM.

Willemstad, Curacao  - The votes are in and the players have spoken, as the readers of Gambling Online Magazine (GOM) gave top marks to the online properties of Peak Entertainment, NV, awarding its family of Internet casinos and marketing programs with an unprecedented four first-place and four honorable mention awards in 2003.

Peak's oldest property and recently re-designed, OmniCasino®  continued its award-winning ways, netting a first-place award for "Quickest Payouts" and three honorable mention citations for "Top Casino", "Progressive Slots", and "Top Web TV Site". The company's Sands of the Caribbean® Online Casino gaming site, also recently re-designed, earned first place ranking for "Best Casino Reputation" and honorable mention for "Top Sign Up Bonus." The magazine's readers also gave high marks to Peak's re-launched One on One Online Casino™, rewarding the Internet's first "VIP and by-invitation-only" high-roller destination with an honorable mention in the "New Casino" category.

In addition to the award-winning casino properties, Gambling Online Magazine's readers gave first place rankings in the "Top Rewards Program" to Peak Entertainment's innovative Peak Rewards Program which enables players to quickly earn valuable cash, comps and other prizes via play at all 5 Peak's online casinos.

Finally, Peak's advertising affiliate division, FocalClick™, took home top honors in the "Top Affiliate Program" category.

Over 50,000 ballots were cast in this year's annual reader's poll, which the magazine conducted from July through September 2003. That the Peak group of casino and gaming entertainment properties did so well is not surprising. Both The Sands of the Caribbean and Omni Casino have been consistently cited in the annual "Reader's Choice" awards for the past several years - with the Omni Casino winning the magazine's coveted "Editor's Pick" award for the past two consecutive years.

"Our magazine prides itself in its service to the savviest online gaming players," said Eric Morris, Vice President of Gambling Online Magazine. "As such, they clearly know and appreciate any and all innovation when they see it and they clearly saw it amply displayed throughout the Peak family of Internet casinos."

"We are delighted to be this year's 'big winner' in the annual Gambling Online Magazine 'Reader's Poll'," said Daryl Christian, Player Relations Manager at Peak Entertainment. "But as these awards indicate, the real winners are all the readers and players who registered and played at any of our award-winning properties and enjoyed the benefits of Peak's commitment to placing the interests of our customers first, ensuring they have a most rewarding online gaming and entertainment experience, that's second to none."
