    World Gaming Providing Foremost Fraud Detection Solution To The
    Online Gaming Industry

    HNC Software's eFalcon Implemented into eCommerce Engine to
    Offer Customers Leading-edge Fraud Protection

    St. John's, Antigua

    June 27 2001

    World Gaming plc (NASDAQ OTC: WGMGY), a global pioneer in
    I-gaming technologies, announced today that it has completed
    implementation of eFalcon, the leading real-time Internet fraud
    detection solution from HNC Software Inc. (Nasdaq: HNCS). World
    Gaming now offers its licensees and partners the most powerful
    weapon against online credit card fraud available. The augmented
    system is available to the more than 750 web sites powered by
    World Gaming to offer gamers the industry's highest level of
    fraud protection.

    "We are committed to providing our customers with the best
    possible solutions to limit risk and enhance profitability," said
    Michael Aymong, CEO of World Gaming. "HNC worked with us to
    implement a solution that would ensure safety and security for
    the more than 500,000 players who wagered in excess of $2 billion
    US through our licensees last year."

    eFalcon is an intelligent Internet-credit fraud detection and
    risk-management solution that lowers fraud losses and increases
    revenue opportunity for online merchants and service providers.
    The advanced solution uses sophisticated neural networks, scores,
    and rules to distinguish between legitimate shoppers and
    fraudulent purchasers. It provides strategy management and
    customer service tools to help merchants save legitimate
    transactions that appear risky, as well as set policies for
    accepting and rejecting transactions. eFalcon is based on HNC's
    Falcon payment card fraud detection technology, currently used to
    protect more than 400 million payment card accounts worldwide.

    "We're pleased to provide our leading Internet payment card fraud
    detection solution to World Gaming, which is being proactive in
    the battle against fraud and protecting its clients," said Walter
    Lee, vice president of merchant solutions for HNC Software. "In
    addition to the immediate fraud loss savings, World Gaming will
    be able to offer their licensees cost savings through lower
    chargeback fees, reduced fraud investigations, and the
    elimination of unnecessary customer support services related to
    fraudulent activities."
