In March 1972, present management acquired control of School for Computer Studies Inc. via a so-called “Back Door Merger.” As a first step, the Company disengaged itself from the teaching of IBM punch card technology in the United States and certain South and Central American counties and entered into patent developments of various new technologies.

In its first effort, the Company designed a nonmagnetic security plastic card system for nuclear powered electric generating plants. As early as 1975, Kenilworth provided the system to 92 out of 112 plants in the United States, as well as for power plants under construction elsewhere in the world. Earlier magnetic systems could not be used in nuclear power plants, which generated magnetic fields that distorted the magnetic stripe. Kenilworth’s system used a chemically read device, which overcame the problems associated with magnetic fields and which also could not be counterfeited. Eventually, after the Chernobyl and Five Mile Island nuclear power plant accidents, the demand for Kenilworth Systems ebbed. More than thirty-five (35) plants that had contracted for Kenilworth’s security system never came online.

Kenilworth by 1987 had 61 software designers on its payroll. To generate new business for its security system, it focused on the casino business. Casinos traditionally had two accounting systems: tokens, and cash.

In July 1985 Nevada Governor Farris Bryant signed the legislation allowing Kenilworth’s plastic chemically encoded cards to be used. In 1988 the Totalizer Agency Board of Victoria (“TAB”), Australia signed a contract with Kenilworth to develop cashless slot machines (“Pokeys”). In November 1990 the first cashless casino opened at the Menzie at the Rialto in Melbourne, Australia. The casino 225 terminals that permitted virtual slot games play by using, for the first time, touch finger operation. Kenilworth was the first casino-oriented company to use touch pad technology for slot machines.

Kenilworth incorporated into each slot machine a Commodore B-2000 computer.
Kenilworth also started the first Internet wagering system throughout Victoria. In doing so, it discovered that securing the Internet is impossible.

Kenilworth did not obtain any patents for its Australian touch pad, computer driven slot machine and Internet technology, as the contract with the TAB provided that Kenilworth grant the TAB the intellectual property rights to everything developed on their behalf.

In 1988 Kenilworth developed and installed Time and Attendance systems for department stores and the Chrysler Jefferson North Automotive assembly plant in Detroit, Michigan.

Kenilworth also supplied its security technology to identify and segregate employees of radio and television stations at the Kings Palace in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Their officials had approached the U.S. government, seeking the best security technology available, which recommended Kenilworth. Saudi officials sought to segregate employees by nationality was essential, as the Saudi economy imports Egyptian, Pakistani and Palestinian workers. In case of a revolt by any one of these groups, officials sought a method of barring revolting nationals from facilities while allowing access to the non-revolting groups, to ensure that they could perform the necessary work in secure stations.

In April 2003 Kenilworth introduced “Live Game Broadcast” proposed legislation to the Nevada Legislature Judiciary Committee. It took no action on the proposal.

The English Gaming Commission has proposed changes to its gaming laws, to allow live game broadcast for remote wagering and fixed odd betting. Presently all gaming platforms in the United Kingdom, including Ireland, provide only pari-mutuel betting. They look to Kenilworth to provide the live action to their platforms.
