Global Cash Access Signs Agreements with Lincoln Park and 50 Other Gaming Establishments

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 2006--Global Cash Access (GCA), a leading provider of cash access products and related services to the gaming industry, announced it has signed a multi-year agreement with Lincoln Park in Lincoln, R.I. Fifty other gaming establishments also recently signed agreements with GCA.

Under the agreement, Lincoln Park will use GCA's Casino Cash Plus(R) 3-in-1 ATM, QuikCash(TM) cash advance terminals and Central Credit check warranty service.

GCA offers a number of products and services, including ATM technology, cashless gaming products and marketing services that help casino patrons access cash, help gaming establishments better understand their patrons, and enhance gaming establishments' patron marketing activities.

Casino Cash Plus(R) 3-in-1 ATM offers patrons a quick way to access cash through ATM cash withdrawals, point-of-sale (POS) debit card transactions and credit card cash advances with patented 3-in-1 rollover functionality. One of GCA's most popular ATMs, the Casino Cash Plus(R) 3-in-1 ATM, provides convenience to casino patrons and revenue potential to casino operators.

QuikCash(TM) cash advance terminals are customer-activated, touch screen terminals that provide casino patrons with POS debit card and credit card cash advance transaction options. Available in kiosk, countertop, wall-mount, free-standing and handheld models, QuikCash terminals can be installed virtually anywhere in a gaming establishment.

Central Credit check warranty service is a service through which payment on certain types of patron checks is warranted, which allows casinos to eliminate the risk of nonpayment on such checks.

"We're pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Lincoln Park, offering them access to our patented 3-in-1 rollover ATM technology and tools to improve the credit decision-making process," said Diran Kludjian, executive vice president of sales.
