HAMDEN, Conn., Nov. 12, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TACT), a global leader in market-specific printers for transaction based industries, will showcase its award winning Epic 950(r) printer during the upcoming Global Gaming Expo (G2E), to be held in Las Vegas, November 13 - 15, 2007. TransAct products will be featured within the JCM American's Booth #2459.
Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, said, "We believe server-based gaming will be a major topic of this trade show and we are excited to be showcasing our technology and solutions. Our ServerPort(tm) Epic 950(r) printer will demonstrate to casino operators how this technology can benefit them as they move to a networked casino floor to increase loyalty and play."
The Epic 950(r) printer, with its patented dual-port technology - ServerPort(tm), is capable of delivering real-time, targeted coupons directly to the player as a complement to the latest server-based gaming technologies. Specific messages can be created, delivered and changed in real-time, providing opportunities to increase player loyalty and play through special coupons and cross-promotions within a casino property.
This unique functionality, coupled with the Epic 950(r)'s multi-language capabilities, will also become increasingly more important as the global gaming industry continues to embrace Ticket-in, Ticket-out (TITO) technology and transitions to server based electronic gaming machines. The Epic 950(r) can print in many languages including Chinese.
In addition to the Epic 950(r), TransAct will also demonstrate its complete product line of gaming and casino printers including the Epic 630(r) and Epic 430(r) which are specifically designed to meet the needs of international gaming customers. These printers can be used in fixed-odds betting terminals found in the United Kingdom, and amusement-with-prizes, skills-with-prizes games, and video lottery terminals found throughout Europe, South America and Asia.
