HAMDEN, Conn. & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TACT) ("TransAct" or "the Company"), a global leader in market-specific solutions, including printers, terminals, software and other products for transaction-based and other industries will demonstrate to attendees of the 15th annual Global Gaming Expo (G2E®) in Las Vegas how "Epicentral® is the Proven Ticket to Growing Casino Revenue." The Company's display in Booth #2423 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center from September 29-October 1, 2015, will include the Epicentral promotion and bonusing solution, the brand new Epic 3000® printer now available for all lottery operators, and TransAct's portfolio of industry-leading, award-winning Epic printers for the worldwide casino and gaming market.

Highlighting TransAct's presence at G2E 2015, Epicentral is the industry's only enterprise-level promotion and bonusing software suite that allows casinos to deliver, in real-time, targeted coupons directly to their customers at the slot machine or electronic table game. Deployed alongside the Company's ServerPort™ and Epic 950® ticket printer, Epicentral provides casino marketing teams with an unmatched, easy-to-use software suite that enables the design and delivery of floor-wide promotions at the click of a button, vastly simplifying the process of attracting, rewarding and retaining players. In particular, promotions can be designed to run using a wide variety of criteria, including uncarded player time on machine, coin in, carded player data, rated player data, earned rewards and randomly awarded prizes.

"As competition for the player wallet continues to increase industry-wide, casinos more than ever are demanding solutions that drive meaningful improvements in their floor performance and help them grow their business. Given this environment, momentum for Epicentral is building as more casinos understand and appreciate the clear value proposition of the system's real-time promotional delivery capabilities," said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies. "We believe Epicentral is a game-changing solution and are excited to demonstrate at G2E 2015 its proven success, including one example of a 1,000% return on investment and another of a 100% increase in lower-tier Average Daily Theo ("ADT")."

TransAct will also debut at G2E 2015 its new Epic 3000 printer for the lottery industry, building on a track record of proven performance across thousands of locations over the last 20 years. The Company's Epic 3000 lottery printer delivers a number of standout features unique to the industry, including its anti-jam front paper exit for reliable operation, the ability to print and stack up to 100 tickets without shuffling, a large 7.5-inch diameter paper roll, and the industry's only full tool steel rotary cutter, making it the fastest transaction printer for the lottery industry.

Mr. Shuldman added, "The Epic 3000 is a fantastic addition to our lineup of award-winning Epic casino and gaming printers and reflects the efforts of our team to make this innovative and highly reliable solution available to the broader lottery market. Together with Epicentral, our Epic printers clearly demonstrate to customers worldwide our unwavering commitment to ongoing investments in technology and innovation.
