Creating an even more convenient environment for their customers, TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a leading producer of transaction-based printers for customers worldwide and JCM American Corporation, the industry leader in currency handling systems, including providing products, software and services to the gaming, vending, banking, amusement, and petroleum industries, and, today announced a letter of intent which will bring together the gaming sales efforts of the two leading bill acceptor and printer brands.

Under the letter of intent, JCM's sales force will begin offering TransAct's gaming thermal printers in North and South America in combination with JCM's many bill acceptor and currency handling products. In addition, the companies will also work together to offer world-class service and support for TransAct printers by utilizing the network of sales and service centers that JCM already has in place. Under the agreement, JCM will phase out its TSP-02 printer.

The companies each had successful exclusive product placement at Wynn Las Vegas, where the gaming floor was equipped solely with JCM's UBA and Intelligent Plastic Cash Box products and TransAct's Epic 950 printer. The companies are already planning on sharing booth space at upcoming industry trade shows, beginning with SAGSE in Buenos Aires this November and at G2E 2006.

Tom Nieman, Vice President of Gaming Solutions for JCM, said, "This is an exciting agreement for everyone involved. The Epic 950 has gained widespread acceptance in the marketplace and we are happy to be associated with the TransAct brand. This agreement allows us to leverage each other's relationships to create the most value and convenience for our customers. Most importantly, it allows each company to bring their customers the very best products on the market today, and it does this in a one-stop shopping experience."

Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, said, "This deal is compelling for TransAct and our customers. JCM is the market leader in bill acceptors, has built an expansive organization to support its business with offices in every major jurisdiction, has dedicated sales professionals and a full support infrastructure. By utilizing both sales organizations, TransAct will be able to leverage the relationships and vast network JCM has already established in the casino market with the ones we have in place. The complementary nature of our product lines makes it logical for us to work together like this because a manufacturer or casino operator purchasing one product will need the other. Our goal is to accelerate our market penetration, while also increasing our potential opportunities in an extremely cost effective manner."
