Release Details

HAMDEN, Conn., Nov. 28, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TACT), a global leader in market-specific printers for transaction-based industries, today announced that it has signed an agreement to partner with Walker Digital Table Systems, LLC ("Walker Digital") to find ways to combine their networked table games system, Perfect Pay, with TransAct's EPICENTRAL™ Print System.

"We are very excited about the opportunity to work with Walker Digital to enhance their world-class networked table games system by integrating our EPICENTRAL™ Print System," said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies. "Walker Digital is at the forefront of bringing innovations in game performance, security and business intelligence to the table games floor previously only available from slots systems. We look forward to working with Walker Digital on testing and finalizing the combination of the EPICENTRAL™ Print System with Walker Digital's Perfect Pay networked table game system."

The new EPICENTRAL™ Print System is an easy-to-use, cost-efficient software system that enables casinos to internally develop marketing programs and promotional coupons to be distributed to customers on a real-time basis at a slot machine. Additionally, the system works with all existing slot systems and games as it is separate and distinct from the slot system itself. With this, casinos will be able to use the EPICENTRAL™ Print System to connect to all existing slot machines, regardless of the game's manufacturer, to drive increased revenue and enhance their customers' experience.

"Walker Digital has demonstrated success in the Asian gaming market with its Perfect Pay networked table system, and we look forward to developing ways to enhance the table game experience for players and operators with the addition of the EPICENTRAL™ Print System," said Jay Walker, Chairman of Walker Digital. "We are pleased to develop this relationship with TransAct and believe it will be very beneficial for both parties."
