Release Details

HAMDEN, CT - November 17, 2008 - TransAct Technologies Incorporated (NASDAQ: TACT), a global leader in market-specific printers for transaction-based industries, today announced that it will showcase the company's new ServerPort™ device at the upcoming Global Gaming Expo (G2E) at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from November 18-20. TransAct will be located at Booth #1656 with its alliance partner JCM Global, where executives will be on hand to demonstrate and showcase the device in the company's virtual demonstration area. In addition, certain slot machine manufacturers will also be demonstrating the use of the device in their booths at the Expo.

TransAct's leading ServerPort™ technology will provide casino operators a cost-effective upgrade solution to connect their existing Epic 950® printers, using the company's patented dual port technology, to any server-based gaming solution to allow casinos to print coupons and promotions while also providing peripheral downloads directly to the printers. The ServerPort™ device will allow operators to selectively scale their casino floors to server-based technology, thereby giving casino operators that currently use the Epic 950® a competitive advantage as server-based technologies are introduced into the marketplace.

"Our new ServerPort™ device enables casinos to easily and quickly upgrade their existing Epic 950® printer to deliver real-time targeted coupons and promotions directly to the casino player, which should increase player loyalty and allow for cross-promotions within the casino property," said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct. "In addition, the device allows the casinos to perform peripheral downloads - a clear benefit and cost savings for the casinos. This feature allows casino managers to remotely communicate with the printer to download upgrades or other changes to the printer, thus eliminating the need for casino workers to manually perform this function at the slot machine."

In addition to ServerPort™ technology and the Epic 950® casino thermal printer, TransAct will also be showcasing the Epic 430™ printer for kiosks and gaming-type machines in non-casino environments, the Ithaca 8000™ dual-purpose and Ithaca 8040™ printers for the hospitality side of the casino industry, and the BANKjet® 2500 printer for casinos, banking and financial function applications.
