GameTech International Receives NASDAQ Notice Relating to its Late Form 10-Q

RENO, Nev., March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GameTech International, Inc. (Nasdaq: GMTC), a leading designer, developer and marketer of electronic bingo and gaming equipment, systems, and video lottery terminals, today announced that on March 23, 2011, it received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market stating that GameTech did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10−Q for the period ended January 30, 2011, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  As a result, GameTech is not in compliance with the continued listing requirements under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of GameTech's common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market.

As previously reported by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2010, filing of the Quarterly Report has been delayed primarily due to the resignation of the Company's former Chief Financial Officer and the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer, effective March 1, 2011.  As a result of this transition, the process of compiling and disseminating the information required to be included in the Quarterly Report, as well as the completion of the required review of the Company's financial information, could not be completed in a timely manner without incurring undue hardship and expense. The Company intends to file its Quarterly Report as soon as practicable.

Pursuant to the NASDAQ Listing Standards, GameTech has 60 calendar days from the date of the notice to submit a plan to regain compliance, and if NASDAQ accepts GameTech's plan, it can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the quarterly report's due date, or until September 19, 2011, to regain compliance.
