(Business Wire; 06/08/98)


LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1998--Players Network (OTC BB:PNTV), 
the first digital, 24-hour gaming and entertainment network which specializes 
in producing television programming to serve the gaming industry, announced the 
introduction of their new line of all-digital, full-motion video interactive 
kiosk designed for casino/hotels.

     The kiosks are free-standing units, placed on the casino floor, and enable 
guests to access information on gaming instruction, event schedules, dining 
reviews, menus and reservations, retail shopping information, club card status 
reports, and an automated comp printing system. The kiosks also display two 
dimensional property maps and directories, entertainment news, box office 
information, casino promotions, and updates from Players Network news.

     The units also originate marketing studies, and track and disseminate 
statistical guest information for the casino/hotel.

     Mark Bradley, President of the Players Network, stated, "This product will 
allow Players Network to combine its existing programming content for a new, 
advanced application. In the future the kiosk will act as a complete 
information center combining its existing features with Internet access and 
video conferencing. We are extremely pleased with the results."

     Players Network interactive kiosk utilizes digital CD quality sound and a 
parabolic sound dome, that delivers up to 16 channels of audio for multiple 
language use.

     In addition, Players Network is currently in the process of finalizing 
negotiations to add its 24-hour gaming programming in several major 
casino/hotels, as well as naming prominent new board members.

     Players Network provides in-room gaming programming for hotel casinos. Its 
programming is produced in their studios in Las Vegas, and distributed to 
client hotel casinos on a closed circuit basis with state of the art technology 
which was developed by SeaChange International (NASDAQ:SEAC). The programming 
is designed to entertain and educate guests while acting as a marketing tool 
for the casino and advertisers. It educates guests on the various types of 
gaming available, how the casino games are played as well as sports and racing 
information, gaming news, entertainment, and promotions about the hotel casino 
and gaming facilities.

     Future expansion plans include interactive television designed to further 
the in-room educational programming, cable syndication, pay-per-view, and 
instructional gaming videos. Players Network can be viewed at the Four Queens 
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, 
and at Primadonna Resorts' (NASDAQ:PRMA) three Primm Valley, Nevada casinos; 
Primm Valley, Buffalo Bill's, and Whiskey Pete's.
