TransAct has appointed Brandon Knowles, to Vice President of Gaming Sales. Mr. Knowles is a veteran of the gaming industry with over 14 years experience at some of industry's most influential companies, including Shuffle Master, Aristocrat Technologies and Progressive Gaming International.

Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, said, "Over 60% of our revenue comes from gaming and lottery - and Las Vegas is the capital of it all. These two very important personnel moves underscore our commitment to that business. With the level of technology we have added to our business, Tracey will be able to lead our company's sales efforts headquartered out of our Las Vegas office while also giving us the executive presence in one of our most important markets.
