Gaming Partners International to Showcase RFID and Other Innovative Table Game Solutions at Upcoming Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas

RFID Innovations

As the gaming industry's leading provider of casino RFID solutions, the Company will present its latest developments designed to extend RFID's functionality from the cage and vault to the gaming floor, improving casino efficiency and security. The company will showcase the following RFID solutions:

    --  CIS 2.0: The Chip Inventory System uses RFID technology to track the
        location and status of all RFID enabled chips throughout the casino,
        increasing inventory movement efficiency and security while providing
        insight into a casino's operations.  The system's real-time inventory
        monitoring and authentication functions provide instant and accurate
        validation of chip amounts and serial numbers and can be linked to any
        third-party casino management system.
    --  Dual Level Chip Tray:  The Dual Level Chip Tray protects casino currency
        at the table while delivering real-time chip inventory and transaction
        details.  This innovative RFID product enables staff and pit supervisors
        to focus on customer service and other tasks, enhancing casino
        efficiency while eliminating manual counting errors.
    --  Portable Chip Reader: By allowing staff to quickly and accurately read,
        authenticate and count chips from any location at any time, the Portable
        Chip Reader extends RFID security from the cage or chip bank to the
        table, pit podium and even back-of-house accounting areas.  Its 3-D,
        high-speed reading capability can read up to 400 chips per second while
        simultaneously identifying if the chips are authentic, valid casino
        currency.
    --  RFID Progressive Poker: Providing casinos with automated pot calculation
        and currency authentication, the RFID Poker Table solution minimizes
        dealer error and increases revenue potential by automating
        time-consuming pot calculations. Now available with an optional
        progressive jackpot where players can win all or part of an incrementing
        prize, the progressive version can link multiple tables together to
        drive a higher jackpot.

In addition to displaying its innovative RFID solutions, GPI will also highlight the following product advancements during G2E:

    --  B&G Premium Chip: As part of the company's focus on offering unmatched
        casino currency products, GPI will emphasize its new B&G Premium Chip
        line that offers casinos more customizable design options than ever
        before. By working closely with each casino customer to create a unique,
        one-of-a-kind chip mold design, each B&G premium plastic injection
        molded chip can include up to six individual color shots and translucent
        elements.
    --  Casino Furniture and eReady Tables:  Combining aesthetic beauty with
        integrated electronic functionality, all custom-built tables on display
        will be "e-Ready," showcasing GPI's ability to integrate the numerous
        technologies used on tables today with a pleasing, high quality design.

"We are looking forward to this year's G2E event, where we are pleased to exhibit our wide range of table game products that support our casino customers' table games operations," commented Gregory Gronau, GPI President and Chief Executive Officer. "During the past year, we have made significant accomplishments in expanding our currency and RFID product offerings through strategic acquisitions that enhance each product line's offering and by expanding our local presence in Asia, and we are excited to show these innovations to our customers and receive their valuable feedback."
