3000 Lottery Printer at Europe's Largest Gaming Industry Trade Show
HAMDEN, Conn. & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TransAct® Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) ("TransAct" or "the
Company"), a global leader in printers and software for the gaming and
casino and other industries, will demonstrate in conjunction with its
exclusive global distributor Suzo-Happ that "Epicentral® is the Proven
Ticket to Growing Casino Revenue" at ICE Totally Gaming 2016 in London,
England. The Company's display in Suzo-Happ's stand (#N4-110) at the
annual show, to be held at the ExCeL London Exhibition Center on
February 2-4, 2016, will also include the new Epic 3000® lottery printer
and TransAct's portfolio of industry-leading, award-winning Epic
printers for the worldwide casino and gaming market.
Headlining TransAct's presence at ICE Totally Gaming 2016 is Epicentral.
The industry's only enterprise-level promotion and bonusing software
suite, Epicentral 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 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.
Promotions are run at the click of a button, vastly simplifying the
process of attracting, rewarding and retaining players.
"The entire TransAct team is committed to delivering quality products to
casino and lottery operators that offer innovative solutions and proven
performance. In an environment of ever increasing competition amongst
casinos, our customers are constantly looking to providers whose
solutions meaningfully improve floor performance and drive revenue
growth," said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
TransAct Technologies. "To that end, the proven success of Epicentral
can dramatically change an operator's business and we believe that its
real-time promotional delivery capabilities and enhanced value
proposition is the direct embodiment of our efforts. We are excited to
show ICE Totally Gaming 2016 attendees the successes Epicentral has
achieved to date, 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 demonstrate in Europe for the first time its new Epic
3000 lottery printer. Following a successful debut at the Global Gaming
Expo in 2015 and building on a track record of proven performance across
thousands of locations over the last 20 years, the Epic 3000 lottery
printer delivers a number of industry-unique standout features. It
offers an 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.
Also on display at the ExCeL London Exhibition Center in conjunction
with Suzo-Happ (Stand #N4-110) will be the Company's full lineup of
industry-leading printing solutions for gaming devices and self-service
kiosks, including:
-

casino printing solution of choice. Delivering unmatched reliability,
the Epic 950 is easily integrated into all game types both old and new
and is fully compatible with Epicentral, allowing for the direct
delivery of eye-catching personalized promotions and bonus offers to
the gaming machine, all in real time. Additionally, the Epic 950's
TicketBurst™ technology eliminates player/ticket interference.

(including amusement with prizes, skill with prizes and video lottery
terminals) that features a fully configurable, modular design, a
variable length ticket presenter and ticket retract capability. It

for use at table games, players' club desks and cash desks. The new
In-Table Enclosure allows the Epic 950 to be mounted underneath the
table game, presenting tickets via a bezel that rises up through the
table.

printers remains the proven industry choice and we are excited to
demonstrate at ICE Totally Gaming 2016 the most diverse line of printing
