New Satellite Casino Concept Leaves State Gambling Regulators Cold
19 October 2005

Although the idea of televising casino games from Indiana via satellite to homes and a number of other public locations for remote-control betting sounds like smart marketing, State gambling regulators are not too keen on the plan and are turning their noses up at the Kenilworth Systems Corporation’s proposal.

The Kenilworth Systems Corporation is a technology company that is based out of New York, and holds the U.S. patent for live gaming broadcast systems. So far the patent has been recorded in 49 other countries including those in Europe, Asia, South Africa and Central and South America. The Kenilworth technology is unique and involves the use of a microprocessor that has been incorporated in a viewer’s TV Set Top Box, allowing them to receive the broadcasts provided by digital satellite. The microprocessors that have been installed are what manage the bets.

Recently the Kenilworth Systems Corp. has made a proposal to broadcast an Indiana casino’s baccarat, roulette wheel and a number of other games to the homes of gamblers, off-track betting parlors, lottery locals, hotels or racetracks; basically anywhere another state or country is willing to authorize. They intend to provide this service through the microprocessors on a TV Set Top Box.

This system, which is known as Roulabette, is much like horse racing simulcasts, where a track sends their signal to an off-betting-track wagering center where customer engage in local betting. However, state regulators have expressed to Kenilworth Systems Corp. their doubts about such a system ever being successful. State regulators believe that it is most probable that Kenilworth won’t be licensed to do business in the state, and it is even more unlikely that they will find a willing casino partner in the first place.
