Senario Announces TV POKER; Video Game Allows Up to Six Players to Compete Simultaneously on Their VS-MAXX Gaming System

MCHENRY, Ill. --(Business Wire)-- July 14, 2004 -- No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Poker - LIVE in your own living room! With TV POKER VS-MAXX gaming system, you and up to five of your friends can combine live group poker with the latest video game technology for a superior poker experience.

Senario LLC, an Illinois-based manufacturer of consumer products, announces today the release of a six-player all-inclusive video system. Available in retail outlets beginning in September, TV POKER allows users to play three styles of Texas Hold 'Em Poker using individual hand-held units as they compete through the television. Hole cards are private on each player's handset, allowing players to bluff each other face-to-face.

"The TV POKER system is an awesome innovation on the traditional poker game which is growing with insane popularity," said Senario President Mike Nakamura. "It's hassle-free poker - no chips, no shuffling, and no cheating, no one deals off the bottom of this deck. Plus, it adds an extra dimension to the game by allowing players to track exactly what's going on in the game at any given moment."

TV POKER keeps the game action fast and accurate by tracking all players' chip counts and maintaining a continuously updated leader board and end-of-game summary screen. Optional tournament sound effects are available and a one-player tutorial game is also included for players wanting to learn or practice their poker skills.

TV POKER under the company's VS-MAXX brand will be available at a variety of retail outlets throughout the U.S. in September, including Best Buy, Kohl's, Nordstrom, Sportmart, Sports Authority, Gart, CompUSA and Toys "R" Us. The retail price for TV Poker is $69.99. For more information, visit www.vsmaxx.com.
