What is the company presenting at G2E, what new developments does it have for the American market or worldwide?

Our latest Latin Bingo lines with six brand-new titles available, primarily for the Latin American market, we are featuring some new Class III Titles that are for the domestic US market, we are also featuring two wide area progressives, one is the already comercially successful Cadillac Cash link and we have a link running in Mexico and the link running in the US today. We are showing the latest theme on Cadillac Cash, which is a game by the very same name, and that game is exceeding our expectations.

As part of new products on the horizon, the firm is featuring Mega Money Maker, a multi-level wide area progressive featuring our new cabinet and featuring high-impact signs with moving parts to create excitement on the casino floor. This product will be available for both our international customers as well as the domestic customers in the Class III as well as the Class II markets in 2008.

And how was the show for the company? Was it a positive experience?

When you look at the Mexican market, we are the only company providing new fresh product designs in that area and we are quickly becoming the leading vendor in the country and we plan to take those Spanish and Latin products to other Latin countries.

You have a strong presence in Mexico. What can you tell me about the Latin American market? How important is it for the company? Are you thinking on reaching other markets besides Mexico?

Mike Macke: We think right now Mexico is our leading international market. We areprobably the most diverse customer base in the country. We have the most diverse line of products to support that with the wide area, the Latin bingo, poker and also regular bingo games, so all with the bingo-based system.

We are in November, the end of the year, Which is the balance you can do of 2007 and what do you expect for next year?

Mike Macke: We are growing this company to about three-times the size it was two years ago, and we still see this kind of growth pattern going on into 2008 and 2009. I think our commitment to the customers in bringing the products that fit the markets is still strong and we continue to localize products into the different markets.
