QI Systems and Cyberdyne Gaming Form Strategic Partnership RICHMOND, British Columbia and PHOENIX, May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mr. Steven R. Garman, President and CEO of QI Systems Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: QIIIF; TSX: QII.U) of Richmond, BC, Canada (a leader in smart card solutions), and Mr. Phil Lulek, CEO of Cyberdyne Gaming, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona (a premier provider of gaming equipment), are pleased to announce that a multi-part strategic partnership agreement has been signed by the two companies. The agreement includes provisions for each company to distribute products of the other partner and is expected to create substantial new market opportunities for both companies. Effective immediately Cyberdyne Gaming, Inc. (http://www.cyberdynegaming.com/) is appointed as a preferred distributor of QI smart card and stored value products for the U.S. gaming industry. Products included within the distributorship encompass QI stored value and secure ID chip cards, SmartKit card payment terminals, SmartKit Console value stations, networking technology and card management software. Cyberdyne Gaming is a provider of a full featured line of gaming products including extensive offerings in both Class 2 and Class 3 gaming devices. Cyberdyne is integrating QI SmartKit payment terminals into their gaming machines and will now offer to the marketplace the next generation of cashless gaming systems. Similar in concept to Ticket In / Ticket Out (TITO), the new system uses QI stored value technology to transfer funds to and from the gaming machines. The system also offers secure ID features for player tracking, loyalty and reward programs. Cyberdyne reports strong interest in the smart card products after recently introducing gaming machines incorporating QI SmartKit terminals at the Bingo World and the AMOA conventions in Las Vegas. "Cyberdyne's management and engineering teams have been technology leaders and innovators in the gaming industry for 24 years," said Cyberdyne's Phil Lulek. "This agreement and these products will continue our tradition of bringing exciting new products and technical innovation to the industry." Effective immediately QI Systems (http://www.qisystems.ca/) is appointed as a preferred distributor of Cyberdyne gaming products for Canada. QI will offer to the market complete gaming systems of machines incorporating cashless operation using QI smart card technology. It is further agreed that in addition to the initial focus on the Canadian market QI shall also pursue similar opportunities in other markets. QI's CEO Steve Garman commented: "QI has been actively developing relationships within the gaming industry and we are extremely pleased to partner with a company of Cyberdyne's depth. The gaming industry offers huge opportunities for our cutting edge smart card applications and with the Cyberdyne relationship we now are able to provide the industry with a complete suite of gaming devices and payment technology."
