Release Details

Wallingford, CT - January 23, 2006 - TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a leading producer of transaction-based printers for customers worldwide, today announced that it has extended its agreement for Eurocoin to serve as its exclusive distributor and service agent for the gaming and casino market in Europe and Africa. Under the agreement, Eurocoin will distribute TransAct's line of gaming printers through January 31, 2009.

Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, commented, "International gaming sales have grown significantly in 2005, primarily driven by the acceptance of our Epic 950ä gaming printer by gaming manufacturers and operators in the Ticket In, Ticket Out market. We are also gaining traction with our Epic 630ä and our new printer we just launched, the Epic 430ä printer, which targets new off-premise gaming opportunities, such as Amusements with Prizes (AWP) and Skills with Prizes (SWP) found in pubs in the UK, Video Lottery Terminals (VLT), and Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBT) found in betting parlors in the UK and across Europe. Eurocoin has been a strong sales partner and has helped us to achieve success in the international gaming markets, specifically in Europe and Africa. Given the size of these markets and the successes we have already achieved together, it is clearly in both companies best interests to extend our partnership."

Colin Veitch, Director, Eurocoin, said, "We are delighted to have extended our commercial relationship with TransAct for the next three years. TransAct has proven themselves to be one of the true innovators in the gaming components sector, and their support for the European and African marketplace has been outstanding. Together, we have worked extremely hard to achieve our recent market successes. The high volume of repeat business and brand new orders demonstrates that in the Epic 950ä printer we have a truly world class product. Eurocoin is proud to announce the continuation of our long-term relationship with our colleagues at TransAct"
