 PROFILE
The chips are down, but World Gaming isn't ready to fold just yet. World Gaming (formerly Starnet Communications) has been struggling to gain a foothold in the online gaming industry, developing Web-based casino games like video poker, blackjack, and Caribbean stud poker, as well as online sports betting systems. It licenses its software to third parties to use on their Web sites. Following a brief foray into adult content, the company fell under investigation in 1999 for alleged gambling and pornography offenses, and police raided its former Canadian headquarters. World Gaming sold its adult entertainment business in 2000 and later moved its operations to the UK.
