2 April 2008

AS VEGAS, Nevada -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Global Cash Access, Inc. (GCA) announced today that it has closed the acquisition of Certegy Gaming Services, Inc. (CGS), formerly known as Game Financial, from Fidelity National Transaction Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS).

GCA acquired all of CGS's issued shares of stock for a purchase price of $25 million. CGS is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCA. As part of the acquisition, GCA will replace all of the cash that was held in CGS's ATM machines and booths at its customer locations.

Said GCA Chief Executive Officer Scott H. Betts, "We're very pleased to have closed the acquisition and are very excited about the opportunity to provide CGS's customers with the products, support and dedication for which GCA is known. The addition of CGS to GCA will help us maintain the scale necessary to advance our product innovation work and support our customer service commitment. We believe the acquisition will also provide the growth and cross-selling potential that our shareholders expect. The payments market is highly competitive, and maintaining scale is important for GCA."

GCA provides nearly 1,000 gaming properties worldwide with technology and services designed to help gaming patrons gain more convenient access to cash and help gaming properties operate efficiently and better serve, understand, attract and retain customers.
