Handmark Releases Astraware Casino on App Store with iTunes Library Integration

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(Business Wire)--
Handmark today announced the release of Astraware Casino - a fun, easy-to-use
pack of 11 of the most popular casino games from around the world - on the App
Store. Astraware Casino is the first new game release from Handmark to use the
iTunes Library Integration feature of iPhone OS 3.0. Users with iPhone OS 3.0
compatible devices can select My iPod Music from the game`s Options menu and
choose individual songs from their collection to create the perfect
casino-themed playlist.

Handmark will be incorporating iTunes Library integration into a range of their
existing and forthcoming iPhone and iPod touch games, allowing players to create
their own soundtrack for each game. Updates to existing titles with this great
new feature will be rolled out over the summer.

"We are excited to be able to use these new APIs to enhance our games
offerings," said Cassidy Lackey, vice president of Handmark Studios. "It`s great
to be able to design your own playlist to accompany Astraware Casino - there`s
nothing like a bit of relaxing lounge music when you`re enjoying a game of
Poker."

Astraware Casino includes all the usual games you`d expect to find in casinos -
Texas Hold `Em No Limit and Limit Poker, Blackjack, Craps, Roulette and Slots,
as well as some more specialist games like Baccarat, 3 Card Poker, Video Derby,
and Keno. Astraware Casino gives players $1,000 virtual dollars to begin playing
with and also includes a fun trophy system - the Souvenir Suitcase - with awards
given for a range of achievements in the game.

Astraware Casino is available at the introductory price of $0.99 for a limited
time from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at
http://www.itunes.com/appstore.
