Chief William Bills, of the Winnemucca Indian Colony of Nevada Shoshone Tribe, and Gerry Gionet, founder of GEObet Network, have signed a further extension to the exploratory deal announced on February 20, 2013, which will offer the Shoshone Tribe Online Casino worldwide.
The deal will see the casino available worldwide by May 1, 2013, and will currently exclude players from the USA.
Gerry Gionet said: “With the majority of USA tribes looking to establish play-for-free sites, Chief William Bills and I believe that moving to a full play for money online casino is a better entry point for the Shoshone Nation.
“We believe this puts a precedent into the marketplace and sets a template for tribes and tribal casinos to get into e-commerce business with both feet, within the GEObet Network.”
Chief William Bills added: “We need to walk before we run with any business but it is important for us to walk the correct path. Play-for-free is being sold as an entry point and so far it has not proven to be a successful entry tool for data collection.
“We believe that opening for commercial business online is the correct path and GEObet Network is providing the pathway for us,” said Bills.
