PRESS RELEASE

Korston Group Selects FutureLogic GEN2 as Standard Gaming Printer
for Russian Casinos!

08 August, 2005, Glendale, CA., USA -  FutureLogic, Inc., the leading manufacturer of thermal ticket printers for cashless gaming, announced today that Korston Hotel and Casino Group has selected FutureLogic's GEN2TM thermal ticket printer as the standard gaming printer for the Casino de Paris and Orlyonok Casino in Moscow. The agreement will also extend into new casino projects in development throughout Russia.

As providers of integrated hotel, entertainment and trade services for local patrons and business travelers, Korston is migrating to ticket-in/ticket-out (TITO) technology to streamline operations, improve the player experience and implement new marketing initiatives in their multi-venue complexes. According to Colin Hayes, Director of Slot Operations for Korston Hotel and Casino Group, "Obviously, we expect TITO technology to increase revenues through improved machine drop and greater customer satisfaction, but we also envision new opportunities to cross-market our broad range of services and build brand loyalty through promotional couponing."

Korston will incorporate IGT's EZ-Pay system and FutureLogic's GEN2 printer in existing and new gaming platforms.

FutureLogic's market leadership position in the gaming industry and GEN2's status as default printer for IGT worldwide were also factors in the Korston Group decision. "FutureLogic shares our long-term commitment and vision of TITO technology and promotional ticketing, making them an ideal partner for our ventures," said Hayes.

The multi-function printer enables proactive marketing functions on the casino floor by turning ordinary vouchers into colorful, eye-catching coupons. The device also satisfies Korston Group's quality and performance requirements with reliability features such as ITH™ (Intelligent Ticket Handling) technology to eliminate torn, smeared, or crumpled tickets; 50% more paper capacity than other printers, and provide a dedicated port for firmware upgrades.

"We are pleased and honored to be selected by the Korston Hotel and Casino Group as their standard printer provider," said John Edmunds, General Manager of FutureLogic Europe Ltd. "Their vision of in-casino marketing initiatives is perfectly suited to the GEN2 feature set and functionality, and will provide an excellent showcase for FutureLogic's commitment to innovation in TITO technology throughout Europe and Russia."
