The Global Gaming Expo at the Las Vegas Convention Center proved to be a very successful avenue for several gambling related companies.  Slots manufacturers and casino floor solution software manufacturers really stole the show for the most part.  However, a few companies really stood out on their own at this years Gaming Expo.

One such company was TransAct Technologies Inc., who makes and markets high-speed printers whose job it is to print out transaction receipts at gaming machines.  Although the printer, called the Epic630, is not designed for gambling machines that one would ubiquitously find at casinos (slot and video poker machines) it does cater to a line of gaming machines growing more popular in betting parlors and non U.S. gambling markets.

Some of the games that the Epic630 is designed to accommodate include video lottery terminals, Japanese pachinko machines (very popular in the East), and fixed odds betting terminals (very popular in Australia).  Although Trans Act Technologies does not do the majority of its business with the best casinos, its strong presence at the Global Gaming Expo may have helped it to make some great contacts and perhaps inspire a casino or two to consider bringing in the machines that TransAct specifically deals with.
