Debit Solution to gaming positions in various jurisdictions. ACS received tremendous response to its PlayOn Solution at G2E and is currently in negotiations with over 10 Properties to install the system in the near

PlayOn terminal, request an amount, enter his/her corresponding PIN and, upon approval, a voucher is produced and converted to chips at the table. At the core of PlayOn’s unified experience is its strategic processing partnership with Vantiv Entertainment Solutions (VES). A part of Vantiv,
which processes more than 23 billion transactions annually with a volume of $842 billion-plus, VES is the payments and transactional engine behind PlayOn the product. Additionally, ACS employs a proprietary gateway that allows properties to impose transaction limits in order to meet internal controls and responsible gaming concerns.

AGEM Key Board of Directors Actions l AGEM continues to work with the Nevada Gaming Control Board (GCB) on two key issues - updating Regulation 5 and submitting language covering adaptive-play features for skill-based games. Regulation 5 addresses potential e-commerce applications at the machine and public comments are being accepted by the GCB until Dec. 6. AGEM’s suggested adaptive-play language is still under internal review and will ultimately be submitted to the GCB for further consideration.
l In a move to show continued commitment to the Mexico gaming market, AGEM is looking to formalise its presence in the market beyond the current AGEM Mexico Committee structure. Tis will give AGEM increased credibility and the tools to communicate better at the regulatory and legislative levels. In a bid to support the proposed gaming bill that has been pending in the Senate for a long time, individually signed letters outlining AGEM’s support have recently been sent to the group of senators considering the bill and the contents of the letter ran as an advertisement in the Reforma newspaper.
l Te Board and AGEM as a whole remain focused on the possibility of Brazil legalising gambling. To share the suppliers’ perspective, AGEM Executive Director Marcus Prater was invited to present at the Brazilian Gaming Congress in Sao Paulo in late November.
l Two new Associate members were voted in during the November meeting - Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP, a full service law firm from New York, and Touch Embedded Solutions based in Taiwan. Tis brings to the total number of AGEM members to 152.
Events and Activities l AGEM members were present and active at both the Brazilian
Gaming Congress in Sao Paulo and the SAGSE trade show event in Buenos Aires.
