Dow Jones Description

We design, develop, and market interactive electronic bingo systems consisting of portable and fixed based systems, and manufacture and sell gaming equipment. We currently market portable bingo systems that can be played anywhere within a bingo hall and fixed-base systems with touch screen activated monitors. We have portable and fixed-base bingo terminals operating in charitable, Native American, commercial, and military bingo halls. Both our portable and fixed-base bingo systems display electronic bingo card images for each bingo game. Our electronic bingo terminals enable players to play substantially more bingo cards than they can play on paper cards, typically leading to a greater spend per player and higher profits per bingo session for the bingo operator. We install the electronic bingo systems, typically at no cost to the operator, and charge either a fixed fee per use per terminal per session, a fixed weekly fee per terminal, or a percentage of the revenue generated by each terminal. We typically enter into one- to three-year contracts with bingo operators. We also manufacture and sell video lottery terminals ("VLTs"), slot machine equipment, and related software (collectively referred to as "Box business"). We entered the Box business on March 28, 2007 with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Summit Amusement & Distributing, Ltd. ("Summit Gaming") for $40.9 million in cash. ...
