Casino ties into live roulette show on UK interactive television

Online and interactive television gambling group NetPlayTV has announced the launch of its new Supercasino app for iPhone, which is now available from the Apple App Store. The app permits both play-for-free and real money action, and was designed by NetPlay in collaboration with specialist firm Miles Ahead.
 
The Supercasino app is not a standalone game, but an iPhone client for the Live Roulette and Autowheel TV shows which air, respectively, on Channel 5 and Sky in Britain.
 
Users can bet in real time using the app while the roulette wheel spins on the television screen, at the same time messaging the on-screen presenter.
 
"These groundbreaking moves in the mobile space show NetplayTV’s commitment to becoming the leading live gaming operator in the market, giving our customers access via telephone, web or mobile," says NetPlayTV executive chairman Martin Higginson.
 
In related news, one of NetPlay's non-executive directors, Moshe Edree, has stepped down in order to pursue other business interests. He has been replaced by Tim Mickley, who was a managing director at Collins Stewart where he led the gaming team.
