LAS VEGAS, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming Partners
International Corporation (Nasdaq: GPIC), a leading provider of
casino currency and table game equipment worldwide, announced today
that it has been chosen to supply the Galaxy Macau casino with all
of its casino chips and plaques. GPI will provide
approximately one million casino chips and plaques to the casino
for its opening in 2011. GPI is also providing Galaxy Macau
with high-frequency RFID technology in its currency. The
value of this order represents GPI's largest single order for a new
casino opening.
The chips and plaques being created for the Galaxy Macau are
from the Company's prestigious Bourgogne et Grasset® (B&G) line
of casino currency products. They will include a variety of
styles, shapes and color combinations, as well as a number of
security features, including RFID. GPI will be supplying a
number of chip sets which will be customized to meet the casino's

The RFID technology offered with all GPI's lines of casino
currency allows casinos to verify the authenticity and value of
each chip instantly, reducing the possibility of counterfeiting,
staff pilferage or miscounts. With specialized readers and
software, this technology enables casinos to track individual chips
throughout the gaming floor as well as follow payments, fills and
credits, tips, and wins and losses per table at any time of the
day.
