OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
All amounts in Canadian Dollars

Parlay Entertainment Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PEI), the world's leading
supplier of Internet and TV bingo software solutions, today announced its
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.

"2009 marks an important transitional year for Parlay as we deploy
Parlay5 across our licensee base and provide enhanced technology
solutions through our Parlay Games Services division in Alderney," said
Mr. Scott White, Parlay's Chief Executive Officer. "With Parlay5
representing the most sophisticated and robust Internet bingo software
commercially available today, our ability to support some 11 languages in
a multi-currency environment, gives us a platform to service increasingly
sophisticated licensees offering gaming opportunities across multiple
languages and currencies."

"Through the use of this new generation of Parlay bingo," continued Mr.
White, "our integration of new content from our recently announced
technology partners, our launch of complete remote gaming services in the
UK and North America and our enhanced customer relationships, as well as
opportunities to use the Parlay5 platform outside of traditional Internet
gaming, will give Parlay the ability to recoup the revenue streams
divested in 2008."

Parlay generates revenue from software licensing, installation fees and
support services. Consolidated revenues were $1.0 million in Q1 2009
compared to $2.0 million in Q1 2008.

Expenses in Q1 2009 were $1.3 million, down from $2.5 million in Q1 2008.
The decrease represented reduced compensation expenses together with the
absence of certain non-recurring expenses in Q1 2008.

Net loss for the quarter was $0.2 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share,
compared to a net loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share in
Q1 2008.

Parlay remains debt free and Parlay's cash balance at March 31, 2009 was
$3.0 million.

"As part of our strategic plan to transition Parlay out of non-regulated
markets, we anticipated that both our revenue and our cost-base would
shrink in Q1 2009," commented Mr. White. "With our strong cash position
and solid technology infrastructure, we expect to end 2009 with
increasingly robust revenue streams from customers on both sides of the
Atlantic, while at the same time continuing to control our cost
structure."

(1) Management believes that EBITDA (earnings before interest, income
taxes and amortization) is a useful supplemental measure of performance.
However, EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure under generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and does not have a standardized
meaning. Therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other companies.

EBITDA is reconciled to net income as follows:
