--Ultimate Texas Hold'em(TM), a new table game featuring head-to-head play against the dealer and an optional bonus bet that pays odds if the player's final five-card hand is a three-of-a-kind or better. A variation of Texas Hold'em, Ultimate Texas Hold'em gives the player several advantages--the earlier a player bets, the more he can bet, and players don't have to fold until they've seen all community cards, including the river.

--Mississippi Stud(TM), an exciting new five-card poker game that lets players bet up to 10 units on a single hand and features a top payout of 500 to 1 for a Royal Flush. In Mississippi Stud, players compete against a paytable, not against the dealer, and win if their hand is a pair of 6s or better.

--Bet the Set "21"(TM), a side bet for blackjack that focuses on the first two cards a player receives, with the top hand, a pair in suit, receiving payouts as high as 25 to 1. With the ability to turn a losing blackjack hand into a big winner, Bet the Set features paytables for single, double and multi-deck games.

--Table Master(TM), an electronic multiple-player table game with five player stations that enables casinos to offer table game hits like Royal Match 21 Blackjack, Three Card Poker, Dragon Bonus Baccarat and Let It Ride Bonus at a fraction of the cost of live tables. Featuring a video dealer with exciting player interaction, Table Master nearly doubles the number of hands played per hour and offers greater flexibility in game wager amounts.

"Most notably are the intelligent shoes that are part of the Intelligent Table System we are currently developing with IGT and Progressive Gaming and the Ameranth poker room management software that will be integrated with our Deck Mate shuffler. We will also highlight our MD2 Workstation that provides accurate, detailed deck verification for back-of-house operations and our Easy Chipper roulette chip sorter which is rapidly gaining momentum through multiple-unit installations at several key casinos."

Paul C. Meyer, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented that this year Shuffle Master will display more table games than ever before. "Our G2E Entertainment Products line-up features ten well-established specialty games, and the four new titles we will showcase have already received positive feedback. Of particular note is Ultimate Texas Hold'em which brings popular poker action into the pit and increases its appeal with a lucrative side bet and enhanced betting structure. We will also debut two new Table Master game selections including Royal Match 21 blackjack, and Dragon Bonus baccarat. All in all, Shuffle Master will be demonstrating more Entertainment and Utility products than ever before, and we are looking forward to a successful, productive show."
