Shuffle Master adds two new members to its Board of Directors

Eileen Raney currently serves as the Chair of Deloitte & Touche's Retired Partner Advisory Council. Raney served 19 years at Deloitte & Touche in New York, serving on both the US Board of Directors and the US Executive Committee. While a Board member at Deloitte & Touche, Raney chaired the firm's Executive Compensation Committee, co-chaired the Executive Nominating Committee, and served as a member of its Risk Management Committee.

One of Raney's most recent accomplishments while at Deloitte & Touche was creating an international Research & Development Group which was responsible for the firm's knowledge management, innovation processes, business intelligence and research, and thought leadership.

Randy Thoman joins the Shuffle Master Board after more than 32 years of experience as an audit partner with Deloitte & Touche serving large, complex public companies in the gaming, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and real estate industries. Thoman has lead partner experience with SEC filings and reporting issues related to public debt and equity offerings, as well as merger and acquisition activities, and implementing and monitoring compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

"We're excited to welcome both Eileen and Randy as strong new additions to the Shuffle Master Board of Directors," said Garry W. Saunders, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shuffle Master. "Both Eileen and Randy have unique and relevant experience that will add depth to our Board and valuable oversight to Shuffle Master's strategic efforts. Randy is a seasoned professional who brings a wealth of audit advisory and technical accounting skills to our Board, and Eileen has demonstrated significant cross-functional, cross-industry agility and expertise in risk management. Adding the caliber and combined counsel of both Eileen and Randy to the Board will help us move forward at this pivotal time in the Company's history."

"No gaming supplier is better positioned than Shuffle Master to capitalize on the worldwide proliferation of gaming in new and existing markets," stated Raney. "I am honored to join Shuffle Master's Board of Directors and look forward to making significant contributions."

"I am eager to work alongside Shuffle Master's highly qualified Board of Directors and Executive Team to help steer the Company as it embarks on the next stage of growth," added Thoman.
