TRANSACT LAUNCHES INDUSTRY'S FIRST JAM-RESISTANT BEZELS Patent Pending Innovation Offered Exclusively on Ithaca® Series 800 Thermal Gaming Printers For Coinless Wallingford, CT, August 14, 2003 - TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a leading producer of transaction-based printers for customers worldwide, announces the gaming industry's first jam-resistant printer bezels. The patent pending advanced feature is offered exclusively on TransAct's Ithaca® Series 800 thermal gaming printers, and can be mounted internally or externally on a slot machine. Vice President and Business Manager of Gaming for TransAct Technologies, Jon Berkley, commented, "Ticket jamming caused by a player interfering with the ticket when printing in a coinless slot machine has been highlighted as a potential concern by casinos. We are pleased to bring an innovative solution to the market to address the concern. Many different solutions have been proposed but have proved too cumbersome, ineffective or expensive. Therefore, we developed a simple solution, one that keeps slot machines working and gamers playing. No jams. No game downtime. No lost revenue. An easy and low cost solution for the gaming industry." The bezels' Flex-Zone™ feature allows tickets to bend rather than jam if the exit path is blocked by the player. In addition, the bezels' spill resistant design directs liquids away from critical components, keeping slot machines running smoothly. Both bezel models are available with integrated LEDs to provide bright, consistent, highly visible lighting. The internal and external bezels are available as kits to upgrade existing Ithaca Series 800 printers or as installed options on any new Series 800 printer. TransAct will be demonstrating the new gaming printer bezels at the G2E Show (booth #2723), September 16-18, in Las Vegas.
