GEN2 ticket printer chosen as the standard for new IGT games

February 8, 2005

GLENDALE, Calif. - FutureLogic Inc. announced that IGT, a subsidiary of International Game Technology (NYSE:IGT), has selected FutureLogic's GEN2 gaming printer as the default TITO ticket printer in all of IGT's new slot machines and video platforms.

FutureLogic developed and launched the first PSA-66 printer, in collaboration with IGT designers, for the introduction of EZ-Pay in 1999.

Randy Hedrick, vice president of IGT Labs says, "The FutureLogic printer was sole-sourced for the first several years of EZ-Pay and continues to be our default component for new games." He adds, "FutureLogic's excellent design and service record with IGT, and their ability to keep pace with our aggressive development and release schedules, makes the decision to spec the GEN2 printer an easy one."

The latest generation of FutureLogic printers was developed with design feedback from leading game manufacturers and casinos. The device has been extensively field-tested for more than a year and is the only printer family to be recognized by industry experts at the last two G2E shows for innovation and productivity enhancement.

The GEN2 printer retains the robustness and reliability of the prior generation device and protects a current user's investment in both training and spare parts. It also offers a new feature to eliminate player interference. Intelligent Ticket Handling technology ensures that all information is printed prior to presentation of the ticket, and eliminates torn, smeared or crumpled tickets.

Other value-added features include the ProMatrix promotional couponing and triggering system. This integrated solution allows casino marketing departments to deliver real-time targeted promotions from any GEN2-equipped TITO system.
