The lawsuit was originally filed in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska and alleged that gaming developer Video Kings had misused confidential information which was in direct violation of a contract with Planet Bingo and Melange — a company that Planet Bingo had acquired during the term of its contract with Video Kings.

The lawsuit alleged that while Video Kings had been given permission to access to Planet Bingo’s EPIC Bingo Hall Management System, the developer used this access to the software to create its own OMNI Bingo Hall Management System, effectively stealing the technology and ideation behind Planet Bingo’s own system.
