GTECH to showcase its GamePoint self-service lottery solution

September 26, 2004

West Greenwich, RI -- GTECH Holdings Corporation announced that it will feature its new GamePoint self-service lottery solution at the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) Fall Conference and Trade Show in Quebec City, Quebec, October 5-9, 2004.

GamePoint, with its instant and online ticket dispensing technologies, is the product of GTECH's recent acquisition of instant-ticket vending machine supplier, Interlott. The new GamePoint terminal combines Interlott's instant ticket dispensing technology with GTECH's online lottery ticket distribution and sales.

"We are excited about the opportunity to demonstrate to our lottery customers and prospective customers the unique value of GamePoint," said GTECH Vice President of Corporate Marketing Chris Lyons. "GamePoint provides players with an attractive, easy-to-use, in-store alternative for the sale of instant and online tickets, and provides growth opportunities for lotteries to expand their retail distribution to new locations."

The instant ticket functionality of the GamePoint terminal offers brightly lit push buttons which feature actual ticket facings that have become the foundation of Interlott's global leadership in instant ticket self-service dispensing. The emphasis on easy-to-read and easy-to-access ticket facings featured in GamePoint is based on the more than 28,000 instant ticket self-service installations deployed by Interlott.

The instant ticket functionality of GamePoint also features the Quad Burster ticket dispensing technology. GamePoint's built-in online ticket self-service functionality is based on GTECH's Altura terminal with touch screen. With an Altura built into the cabinet, it allows players to easily navigate their online ticket purchases, while at the same time providing the retailer and the lottery with built-in security and reporting functionality.
