PART I
ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Kenilworth Systems
Corporation hereinafter referred to as Kenilworth, the Company or we, was
incorporated on April 25, 1968 under the laws of the State of New
York. Kenilworth has been a publicly traded Company since August 1968
formerly on the National NASDAQ Market, presently on the OTC Pink Sheet Market
since emerging from Bankruptcy Proceedings in September 1998.
Kenilworth is now being presented as a Development Stage Company.
GENERAL
Since early in the year
2000 we have been solely engaged in developing patents, markets and
investigating how best to obtain Governmental approvals, by engaging lobbyists
and consultants that would allow television satellite and cable subscribers and
other casino gamblers throughout the industrialized world to play and wager
along from remote locations with live, in-progress casino table games
(Roulette, Craps, Baccarat and more) from strictly regulated casinos located in
the United States and other locations around the world.
Employing the latest
encrypted satellite, cable and Internet technology and placing television
cameras in strategic locations above the casino table games, without disrupting
the normal game-monitoring activities, (a separate control room would direct
the various camera angles), and transmitting the table games over the digital
satellite, digital cable and Internet networks (in countries that permit
Internet wagering) to television sets (TVs), which become a platform for
playing along with the casino games wherever TVs are located.
Kenilworth titled the
overall project RoulabetteTM. There are thirty-eight million
(38,000,000) satellite and seventy-three million (73,000,000) cable TV
subscribers in the United States and more than five hundred million
(500,000,000) subscribers throughout the rest of the industrialized world (The
Market). On average, households in the U.S. have three (3) TVs.
(It is important since the satellite and cable companies will charge a separate
fee for transmitting the table games). Public gathering places can
accommodate (be able to network) up to one thousand (1,000) or more TV sets
with a single satellite receiving dish, direct cable connections, or streamed
via the Internet. With wagering possible in homes, hotel rooms, resort
rooms, pubs, restaurants, race tracks and other public gathering places the
Company believes it will become a more than $500 billion annual net win Market within five (5) years
throughout the industrialized world (by the year ended 2013).
To best market the casino
games, the Company is selecting lotteries throughout the world to manage and
operate the distribution and cash handling (deposits to play and paying
winnings) using the lotteries existing databases for the sale of lottery
tickets, and paying winnings at regular lottery licensed terminal locations.
All forty-three (43)
lotteries in the United States are owned and operated by County and State
agencies. Since the beginning of year 2007, Texas, Illinois, Indiana,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Iowa, New Jersey and California have
indicated exploring the privatization of their lotteries. This could greatly
enhance our efforts to broadcast the live casino table games to these lottery
locations and could result in having Cafés that offer terminals and TV sets to
play along. Internet Cafés that offer wagering on various events have
been a huge success in the Asian Market. With Internet wagering outlawed in the
United States, our patented satellite, one-way broadcasts offer the best
possibility to establish satellite Cafés.
Throughout the rest of
the world, lotteries are owned by government agencies or non profit charitable
agencies that distribute the net earnings to benefit social and charitable
programs, or by private entities that pay a percentage of their net win to
designated government agencies.
5
These foreign lotteries
also have the same databases as lotteries in the United States, except most
lotteries throughout Europe pool their lotteries between countries, not unlike
Mega Millions and PowerBall in the United States, which makes the distribution
simpler and very cost effective for both Kenilworth and the lotteries.
There are no technical
breakthroughs required. The equipment for the technology is readily
available. What is needed is to get through the maze of Local, County,
State and Federal regulations in each U.S. State and foreign countries.
When the first State in the United States grants the Company permission to
transmit the broadcast from one of its casinos to their residents and to States
that do not have any casinos, (the entire East coast of the United States), the
other forty-three (43) States with lotteries will join expeditiously. The
same will occur in foreign countries.
Kenilworth will share the
net win revenue with all
participating entities that provide RoulabetteTM gaming without costs of any kind. State lotteries or their private
operators will receive a minimum of forty percent (40%) of the total net win from their respective jurisdictions.
In States and foreign
countries that designate exclusively lottery proceeds to schools and their
teachers it is a welcome contribution. It also will help close state
budget gaps.
In addition, throughout
the United States and most foreign countries there are hundreds of facilities
that simulcast live in-progress horse/dog races. At most facilities there
are several large TV screens that show the races from the different tracks with
general theater-type seating for patrons and at private cubicles with
television sets outfitted with touch screens. The cubicles rent for
additional fees. After players open an account and select pin numbers,
they can watch, in privacy, each race offered on the different tracks on the TV
and place wagers on the different races. The players may also watch
sporting events, the news, the stock market reports, and in the near future
RoulabetteTM, live, in-progress casino table games. The
simulcast centers have their own databases to manage the cash deposit and pay
winnings on the horse/dog races and will be able to manage the casino games, on
the same methods as the lotteries will manage RoulabetteTM. With
private TVs, available in simulcast centers, especially at night, when fewer
tracks are operating.
When playing along with
live table games from a highly regulated jurisdiction, players will be assured
that the game results are exactly what they see; and, playing along with live
casino table games such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat, we believe, will
provide interaction, fun and far more excitement than playing virtual games and
video lottery terminals. It is the next best thing, we believe, to actually
being at the table in the casino.
To conduct actual live
test broadcasts Kenilworth believes it will require a minimum of ten million
dollars ($10,000,000) and there are no assurances we will ever be able to
obtain any of such money. At present, the Company does not have the funds
readily available but hopes to obtain same, from investors, as soon as
Kenilworth can obtain governmental permission and commence broadcasting from a
casino in the United States or other casinos throughout the world.
In prior years,
Kenilworth completed a prototype system that allowed casino patrons to play
along with live in-progress casino table games only within the confines of a casino, via closed circuit
television. Also in 1990, we developed and delivered for the TAB (Totalizator
Agency Board) a quasy government agency of the State of Victoria, Australia, a
cashless slot machine system. Both systems required debit cards and central
mainframe computers to manage the wagers. By making use of the expertise
applied in the development of the aforementioned systems we plan to develop a
second-generation system that will manage the wagers by the microprocessor
installed in TV set-top boxes or an attachment directly connected to the TV set
to receive satellite and/or Internet broadcasts. This as planned would allow a
player in an interactive manner, at a remote location (outside the casino confines),
to experience the actual play and excitement at the casino table game and to
make wagers on the various games, without having to be physically present at
the casino or casino table. There are no assurances we will be able to
successfully develop any system.
6
We also propose for slot
machine manufacturers to develop RoulabetteTM Slot Machines. The RoulabetteTM Slot will offer the regular slot or video
lottery games and by the touch of a button, the live in-progress casino table
games. Slot players are offered a change of pace at the cost of a slot
handle pull. The games are transmitted to the RoulabetteTM Slot via satellite or the Internet (all
broadcasts are encrypted to prevent unauthorized use of the broadcasts).
Where authorized, hotels,
resorts, clubs and other public gathering places will be able to offer casino
table game action in their establishments without incurring the costs to
operate a casino. There are now believed to be more than ten million
(10,000,000) slot machines played throughout the world, outside of casino
confines.
Project RoulabetteTM is a concept intended to be built and there
can be no assurances that it will ever be built. The Patented
microprocessors to be installed in the TV set top boxes have not been designed.
SUMMARY:
(1.) Kenilworth continues to fine tune its
patented technology dubbed RoulabetteTM. It now plans to outsource the
manufacturing of all the components instead as formerly manufacture some of the
equipment in its 26,000,000 square foot facility then located in Melville,
NY. RoulabetteTM would allow casino patrons and other players
to play along with live in-progress casino table games such as Roulette, Craps,
Baccarat and more via digital satellite, digital cable television or Internet
broadcasts (simulcasts) emanating from strictly regulated casinos located in
the United States and other locations around the world, to self-sufficient
computer terminals dubbed RoulabetteTM Slots and digital satellite, cable TV set top
boxes or the Internet in countries that permit Internet gaming. The RoulabetteTM terminal is a proposal intended to be built
and there can be no assurances that it will ever be built. The
microprocessors to be installed in the TV set top boxes have not been designed.
We have as at December 31, 2007, no firm agreements, customers, or
proposals for any future business and there can be no assurances that we will
ever have same. Reference is also made to
each of the Risk Factors that are set forth in Item 7.
(2.) We believe the thousand virtual casino
websites via the Internet obtain sixty percent (60%) of their annual revenue
from customers in the U.S. These website have been shut down when
President Bush signed the Internet Enforcement Act of 2006.
Simulcast broadcasts of
digital satellite and digital cable transmissions around the world must meet,
and will be supervised by, the regulations by the gaming authorities of the
broadcasting casino and the jurisdiction, which receives the broadcast.
We believe the supervision will not be difficult to enforce, because all
simulcast wagering is cash only, from regulated, supervised betting
sites. There are no wire money transfers with banks and no credit or
debit cards permitted or used. We believe this fact should ease any
opposition from concerned citizens and anti-gambling groups, as regulation and
enforcement responsibility will be vested in each individual state (or foreign
jurisdiction).
Kenilworth was the first
to use color personal computers (PCs) to replace electromechanical slot
machines (1988). We provided the software for the first Tabaret located
at the Menzie at the Rialto in Melbourne, Australia, which opened in November 1990.
This consisted of cashless, variable denomination and multiple game,
virtual PATs (Player Activated Terminals). Prior thereto
Kenilworth sponsored, with the assistance of three (3) Nevada casino
operators, legislation to permit cashless wagering in the state of
Nevada. The legislation, which is in the form of an amendment to existing
casino control statutes, permits the use of account cards (debit cards) and was
signed into law by Governor Richard H. Bryan on June 13, 1985.
Kenilworth has been a
publicly traded Company since 1968. Prior to commencing its endeavors into its
present business in 1988, it also provided security systems to Nuclear Electric
Generating Plants in the U.S. and foreign countries, as well as time/attendance
systems at a major department store chain.
7
THE STATUS WITH PAGCOR
During January 2006,
the Company reestablished negotiations with the Philippines Amusement and
Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) for permission to broadcast live, in-progress
casino table games from their casinos.
PAGCOR is the Republic of
the Philippines chartered government gaming monopoly. PAGCOR partially
owns and exclusively operates all fourteen (14) Filipino casinos, some of which
are located in exclusive resort facilities frequented by Asian patrons
(tourists).
In March 2006,
Kenilworth conducted a live, in-progress casino table game test to demonstrate
the ability to broadcast the table games, for around the world viewing, without
disrupting the normal security monitoring and protecting the privacy of players
at adjoining table games. The film clip of the test broadcast which was
made at a roulette table located in the new Hyatt Hotel and Casino, Manila, is
available for viewing on our website www.kenilworthsys.com (see Press Release:
Monday, March 6, 2006).
In 2002, the Philippines
Government permitted the establishment of two (2) Internet Cafés in the
Manila area and allowed the operators, for a fee to PAGCOR, to provide
life-like action on virtual baccarat, accept sports bets and video broadcast of
actual in-progress cock fights with wagering on the outcome. By year end
2004, the number of Cafés operating in the Manila area increased to sixty (60)
Cafés. At the end of 2006 there are now six hundred (600) Cafés in Manila
with an additional thirty four hundred (3,400) throughout the country.
Kenilworth never
attempted to provide live in-progress real time casino table games to the Cafés
since President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo stated, at all times, that our
broadcast should not expand gambling throughout the Philippines. The
Cafés now represent a huge profit base for PAGCOR which provides the income
from its overall operation entirely for socio-civic
endeavors. PAGCOR is the most profitable corporation in the
Philippines.
The phenomenal success by
the Internet Cafés may not require our broadcasts to improve PAGCORs income
stream. Kenilworth planned to broadcast to the Pacific Rim
countries to maintain the tourists trade to the Philippines resorts, all of
which have casinos, and now have to compete with Macau. We believe, in
the future, PAGCOR will require our broadcasts to maintain their present
tourist trade.
MARKETING STRATEGY/SALES
PLAN
Our marketing strategy
consists of developing the RoulabetteTM Slot terminal and the RoulabetteTM broadcasts. We estimate at this time, that we
will need at least approximately ten million dollars ($10,000,000) for
promoting the RoulabetteTM concept. We do not have this money nor do we
have any agreements or understanding to procure this money. We may never get
this money. If we do obtain this money, it may not be sufficient. Further,
should such monies be available it may not be available on terms satisfactory to Kenilworth or it may be
available on such terms that substantially dilute the interest of existing
shareholders. If we obtain this money, we will need substantial additional
funds for the proposed marketing plan and there can be no assurances that such
funds will ever be available to allow Kenilworth to engage in business on a profitable
basis.
At the present time, we
do not engage technically oriented employees who will be able to assist in the
development of RoulabetteTM (we have available three [3] former technical
Kenilworth employees that have indicated to rejoin Kenilworth at the
appropriate time). It will be necessary for us to obtain additional personnel
qualified and with the expertise to develop RoulabetteTM. We would
require additional employees and several more consultants in respective
locations and there can be no assurances of our being able to obtain any
necessary personnel. There can be no assurances of the availability of any such
employees and consultants.
The Company will
outsource the development of RoulabetteTM and the microprocessors for the TV set top boxes.
8
In the United States,
Kenilworth must refrain from using the Worldwide Web (WWW) Internet to manage
wagers from individuals outside of the casino confines. It is against the law.
In RoulabetteTM, the play-along broadcast emanates from
casinos that are regulated by strict and comprehensive rules and state and
jurisdiction regulations, enforced by gaming control regulators and everybody
plays along with the same live table game. There is a world of difference
between playing in a virtual make believe casino compared with an actual
casino.
For the reasons stated,
Kenilworth will ask state lotteries, Off-Track Betting (OTB) corporations,
pari-mutuel race tracks, and other state and federal regulated agencies to
manage the wagers from individuals playing along on their PCs and their
television sets using interactive TV set top boxes that convert regular
television sets into minicomputers within their state or jurisdiction. There
can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain any arrangement with any of
these entities or that they would be on suitable terms.
The individuals would
have to pre-deposit funds into an account with the wager management company and
then place wagers with their credit balance. The wagers and running balances
will be transmitted to the RoulabetteTM players PC and/or television sets with
telephone lines not crossing any state lines, similar in principle to telephone
accounts wagering offered by the New York State Off-Track Betting Corporation
and the state of Nevada casino sports book and recently with remote purchase of
lottery tickets in many states within the United States.
After we obtain
permission to play RoulabetteTM, of which there can be no
assurances, in a given state and engages a wager management organization
in order to promote digital satellite and interactive television to the states
residents, Kenilworth would install the eighteen (18) inch dish antenna and
converter box required to receive digital TV programming and interactive TV at
its own cost, if the subscriber opens a RoulabetteTM wagering account for two hundred dollars
($200). In addition, Kenilworth would pay the monthly subscription fees to view
all digital TV programming offered and the Internet service provider (ISP)
subscription fee if the customer wagers at least one hundred twenty dollars
($120) each month win, lose, or draw makes no difference. In the U.S.
the contracts would be financed by the satellite carrier such as EchoStar and
DirecTV, or cable companies.
In states with approved
lottery and/or other gambling legislation, we plan to introduce RoulabetteTM Slot terminals to hotels, clubs (similar to
card clubs in California) and resorts, to provide upscale gathering places for
tourists and local residents. Charitable organizations that are permitted to
conduct Nevada Nights and Bingo games may wish to offer RoulabetteTM gaming on a more permanent basis. To receive
the broadcast signal, all that would be required is an eighteen (18) inch dish
TV antenna and distribution equipment. The RoulabetteTM terminals are intended to be self-sufficient
and accept dollar bills (or script, to control the amount an individual is
allowed to wager in one day or other time period). We plan to lease all the
equipment necessary to participants for a share of the profits.
To gain approval for our
RoulabetteTM-style gambling in jurisdictions that have not
approved any gambling legislation, Kenilworth proposes to engage lobbyists to
introduce, promote, and obtain legislative approval to permit RoulabetteTM-style
gambling. Our strategy is to find depressed resort areas and have the resort/hotel operators convince their
local politicians of the benefits to their business and the local economies and
request them to promote legislative approval, either state-wide or limited to
their areas. Riverboat gambling started to rehabilitate decaying waterfronts.
RoulabetteTM can do the same
in depressed economic areas. No assurances can be given that we can
obtain any such approvals.
When the live casino TV
broadcasts are beamed for global viewing, Kenilworth will seek out similar
organizations, as proposed for the United States and betting shops and slot
route operators that can provide the servicing of individual accounts and
placement of RoulabetteTM terminals in hotels, clubs, pubs, racetracks,
etc. In all instances, we plan to offer only profit sharing arrangements to
franchisees, which will require leasing all the equipment necessary to the
franchisee, to discourage competition.
In overseas
installations, wherever permitted, Kenilworth will make use of the WWW Internet
only to manage the wagers, and only in jurisdictions that permit the data
collection of the gambler, not for the live broadcast.
9
In the event a
substantial amount is won by a player, Kenilworth will make the payment to the
winner, via money wire transfer, to the establishment which managed the wager,
within twenty-four (24) hours. Kenilworth will establish a worldwide cage
for winning payments; or, a guarantee payment by a well-recognized
international bank.
COMPETITION
Many segments of the
gaming industry are characterized by intense competition, with a large number
of companies offering the same type of wagering products and services. None of
these companies, at present, are believed to offer the same or similar
equipment or systems as intended by RoulabetteTM. The most likely competition will come
from slot machine manufacturers who could relatively quickly adapt slot
machines to play along with live casino table games. We believe there are three
(3) major slot machine manufacturers in the world, all of which have
vastly greater capital resources and substantially more personnel than the Company
and may have under development systems that directly compete with RoulabetteTM.
Our present plans are to
broadcast the live casino table games from companies that own casinos
throughout the industrialized world. Other casino owners may start their own
broadcasts and have their own terminals manufactured that compete with
Kenilworth after Kenilworth has done all its pioneering for play-along
wagering.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our most important assets
are Patents we have acquired and RoulabetteTM related trademarks and service marks.
The Patent granted on June 10, 2003 titled SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE
ROULABETTE AND OTHER GAME PLAY USING GAME TABLE AT A CASINO and Patent
Application filed October 15, 2003, entitled METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR
SUPPLYING FUNDS TO A TERMINAL FOR REMOTE WAGERING, MULTI-USE GAMING MACHINE
trademarks ROULABETTETM, as in pre-marked cards similar to
lottery cards to select number in each game, used with terminals ROULABETTETM SWIPE CARD to activate set-top boxes to play
RoulabetteTM and PLAY ALONG
WITH ROULABETTETM, LIVE and MULTI-USE GAMING MACHINE.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Kenilworth has no
licenses from any casino regulating authorities and may not require any casino
licenses at the present time and may never become able to obtain any licenses
that may be required in the future. Each state has its own regulations, and in
states where Kenilworth does business, Kenilworth will have to comply with
these regulations and there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so
or obtain the necessary license in an applicable jurisdiction. The following
discussion is not necessarily complete, or current regarding laws and
regulations that may be applicable to us. Any present laws are also subject
to future change, amendment or cancellation.
Federal
The Federal Gambling
Devices Act of 1962 (the Federal Act) makes it unlawful for a person to
manufacture, deliver, or receive gaming machines, gaming machine type devices
and components thereof across interstate lines unless that person has first
registered with the Attorney General of the United States.
In addition, various
record keeping and equipment identification requirements are imposed by the
Federal Act. Violations of the Federal Act may result in seizure or forfeiture
of equipment, as well as other penalties.
Other
Regulations
The manufacture,
distribution, sale, and use of slot machines are controlled by state and
federal law, which may also apply to our RoulabetteTM gaming terminals. Certain foreign countries
