Spielo to Showcase New Games and Products at the 2004 Global
Gaming Expo


WEST GREENWICH, R.I. and MONCTON, CANADA, Sept. 27  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
For the first time, Spielo, a GTECH Company (NYSE:GTK), will exhibit new games
and products at the 2004 Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, Nevada, October
5-7, 2004.

Spielo will display its latest multi-denomination and low-denomination games
for the Aura(R) upright and the newly introduced Aura slant top video slot
machines.  With more than a decade of experience building high-quality video
gaming machines, Spielo has packed a wealth of expertise into the Aura product
line.  Spielo has conducted extensive player and casino management research to
offer the latest in high-performance games and well-engineered slot machines.

"We anticipate our Gaming Solutions unit will play a key role in GTECH's growth
in the coming years," said GTECH President and CEO W. Bruce Turner. "Today, our
primary focus within Gaming Solutions is on expansion within the
government-sponsored video lottery terminal space.  We intend to pursue new
opportunities domestically, as several U.S. states continue to move closer to
approving some type of video lottery terminal legislation.  We are also
actively pursuing a number of video lottery opportunities abroad, such as
Europe and Latin America."

"Spielo is a vital element of GTECH's Gaming Solutions business unit. GTECH's
corporate experience and strengths combined with Spielo's gaming technology
provide a powerful partnership to the worldwide gaming market," said GTECH
Senior Vice President of Gaming Solutions Marc A. Crisafulli.

As commercial gaming continues to grow in the United States, Spielo is well
positioned to offer new and exciting Class III games.  Spielo will showcase a
variety of its top-of-the-line games including more than 20 Class III titles,
many of which are a low denomination offering.  Spielo will demonstrate five
central-determination win (CDW) games that have been successfully sold to
California tribal casinos as instant lottery products. The Company will also
display a variety of newly introduced casino titles as well as never before
seen games.

Spielo will be highly visible at the 2004 Global Gaming Expo as the exclusive
sponsor of the newly launched G2E Experience.  The G2E Experience is a venue
within the conference that allows participants to view the New Product
Showcase, the Product Demo Theatre, the Cyber Café, and the Networking Lounge.

Come see the future of video gaming and slots at Spielo's booth # 5153.
