GTECH'S SPIELO SUBSIDIARY TO PLACE ALFASTREET R8 MULTI-PLAYER AUTOMATED ROULETTE STATIONS AT DELAWARE'S THREE GAMING VENUES


PROVIDENCE, RI (U.S.) – (July 24, 2008) – GTECH Corporation’s video lottery subsidiary, Spielo USA, has been selected by the Delaware State Lottery to provide Alfastreet R8 multi-player roulette stations (“Alfastreet R8”) for the three gaming venues in the state: Delaware Park, Dover Downs Hotel and Casino, and Harrington Raceway and Casino. The Alfastreet R8s will be manufactured by GTECH’s gaming machine subsidiary, Atronic Americas LLC, which holds the exclusive license to manufacture and distribute Alfastreet gaming products in North America. Spielo will be the solutions integrator for this delivery. The Alfastreet R8 closely simulates live roulette play by integrating an automated roulette wheel in the center of the table, and eight player stations around the table. Players have the option to bet via a touch pad, touch screen, or a combination of both.

“With 56 gaming positions at all of the gaming venues in Delaware, Alfastreet R8 will provide players, who typically prefer live table games, with an entirely unique experience, including features such as an automated roulette wheel, low and high wagering, one-touch betting, and multi-lingual screen menus,” said Victor Duarte, Spielo Chief Operating Officer. “For the Delaware Lottery, in addition to greater profits when compared to live table games, Alfastreet R8 offers the highest levels of security, is easy to maintain, and allows for more efficient staffing.”

“The Delaware Lottery is very pleased to have found the Alfastreet automated roulette machines to have the best overall reviewed product,” said Wayne Lemons, Delaware Lottery Director. “We look forward to the placement of the Alfastreet R8 product at our three video lottery agents, Delaware Park, Dover Downs, and Harrington Raceway & Casino. The Delaware Lottery feels the Alfastreet R8 will be a good fit for our players.”

The State of Delaware does not allow live table games at its gaming venues. The Alfastreet R8 stations are expected to be operational at the three gaming venues in the fourth quarter of 2008.
