Who's Casino? -- Gaming software company Boss Media has sold an online casino to a company that for now would like to remain anonymous "for reasons of competition." Boss says the company began in 1985 as a telephone-betting operator, and 10 years later became one of the first betting companies on the Internet. In the past the company has had a casino linked to its sports book. Boss will provide the company with software that can be downloaded or played as a web-based instant game.
