Everi expands partnership with Alberta Gaming & Liquor

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Everi Holdings Inc. announced today that the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission has recently approved, and the Company expects to initiate, a live trial of its gaming machines in the province within the coming weeks. This expands the Company's relationship with the AGLC to now include the placement of electronic gaming machines at casino facilities in the province. Everi has provided a portfolio of payment solutions to Alberta casinos for over 19 years.

Pending the successful completion of this trial, Everi anticipates continued placement of its standard and premium video and mechanical reel gaming machines, with potential expansion to additional facilities within the AGLC network beginning in early 2016. In addition, the Company expects to expand its Payments product placements in Alberta with JackpotXchange, an automated jackpot payment kiosk. JackpotXchange is currently in queue for testing with a live-trial period to follow. The AGLC licenses and oversees 28 casino facilities and racing entertainment centers throughout Alberta.

Edward A. Peters, Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing of Everi, commented, "The expansion of our relationship with the AGLC to now include our portfolio of gaming products is an important point of progress as we continue to execute on a number of key initiatives. This includes increasing the number of markets in which we are licensed to provide our gaming machines as well as leveraging the deep relationships we have established with long-term cash access customers to cross-market our expanded portfolio of gaming content and payments solutions. The AGLC has been a valued partner and we have mutually benefited from the placement of our payments solutions at facilities across the province. Our entrance into this market for our games business and newly expanded relationship with the AGLC, which will now include a diverse floor-wide portfolio of gaming entertainment and cash access solutions, will deliver new value to our partner while helping us expand our market share."

Niaz Nejad, Vice President Lottery & Gaming Services of the Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission, said, "We have enjoyed a strategic partnership with Everi for payment solutions and are pleased to expand this relationship to include a trial of their games as they enter a new jurisdiction. We look forward to building upon our partnership and utilizing Everi's product suite to further improve the patron experience at casinos in the province as we consider bringing some of Everi's acclaimed gaming products, including TournEvent, to players in Alberta."
