Parlay Entertainment Announces Results for Q4 and Fiscal 2009

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, Apr 22 (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 and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2009.

"2009 was a transitional year for Parlay with significant challenges
but also the emergence of numerous opportunities. As a result of our
divestiture in 2008, we commenced developing a strategy to replace
recurring revenue which was lost as a result of that transaction"
said Scott White, Parlay's Chief Executive Officer. "Given the
significant consolidation in the online bingo sector, and the fact that
some of our customers were part of that consolidation, timing was such
that our business model could be expanded allowing us to move into the
business of operating gaming platforms. Throughout 2009 we invested
significant financial and human capital resources in the development of
our Alderney and North American gaming platforms, which operate under the
brand Parlay Games Services. Although these platforms are accelerating in
terms of growth today, we generated very little return from this
significant investment in 2009, resulting in a substantial loss and cash
burn."

"With 2009 as our reformulation year," concluded Mr. White
"we are pleased to report that we have in excess of 40 networked
partner sites, which are either launched or launching within PGS. We have
numerous prospective partner arrangements in various stages of
development. With the market changing again because of additional
consolidation, we are now in a unique position to offer services to
various customers who are searching for new solutions in the bingo
vertical. With a revised cost structure and a robust and envied
technology platform, it will be our intention to supplement our
traditional software licensing model throughout 2010 with the growth of
PGS throughout the world. As we have outlined previously, our offering
will be flexible and unique, fostering customer access into multiple
software technologies offering multiple software vendors, both gaming and
non-gaming products and multiple languages and currencies"

Parlay generates revenue from software licensing, installation and
implementation fees and support services. Consolidated revenues were $0.8
million in Q4 2009 compared to $1.2 million in Q4 2008.

Expenses in Q4 2009 were $1.4 million, unchanged from $1.4 million in Q4
2008. Increased foreign exchange losses offset reduced compensation
expenses.

A beneficial tax adjustment increased the tax recovery recorded in Q4
2009 by $0.4 million.

Net loss for the quarter was $0.06 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share,
compared to net loss of $0.06 million, or $(0.00) per diluted share, in
Q4 2008.

Consolidated revenues were $3.4 million for 2009 compared to $8.5 million
in 2008. 2008 consolidated revenues included the proceeds from the
divestiture which were non-recurring software license fees of $2.9
million.

Expenses in 2009 were $5.6 million, down from $7.7 million in 2008. The
decrease represented reduced compensation expenses together with the
absence of certain non-recurring expenses from 2008.

A beneficial tax adjustment increased the tax recovery recorded in 2009
by $0.4 million.

Net loss for 2009 was $1.4 million, or ($0.11) per diluted share,
compared to a net income of $0.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in
2008.

Parlay remains debt free and Parlay's cash balance at December 31, 2009
was $1.1 million. Corporate income tax refunds received (and to be
received) in 2010 are estimated at $1.2 million.

(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:
