other products for transaction-based and other industries, announced
today that the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City, Iowa will have
the Company’s Epic 950® printer installed in all of the new property’s

operators thanks to its proven reliability and widespread compatibility.
Installed on over half a million slot machines in hundreds of casinos
worldwide, the Epic 950 printer features TicketBurst™ technology to
eliminate player/ticket interference and is also fully compatible with
TransAct’s Epicentral® promotion and bonusing software system.
“Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City’s selection of the Epic 950 as
their exclusive TITO printer represents yet another endorsement of the
advanced features and functionality offered by our industry-leading
casino printing solution,” said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies. “The Epic 950 continues to
set the industry standard for quality and reliability and our customers
recognize the strong return they can generate on their investment in
this printing solution. This combination has enabled TransAct to grow
its global casino market share and win new business such as this
exclusive agreement with Sioux City Entertainment, and we are excited to
play a role as the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino brand comes to downtown
Sioux City.”
Todd Moyer, General Manager of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City,
commented, “As we evaluated TITO printing options for our gaming floor,
the technology and advanced functionality of the Epic 950 clearly
differentiated it from the pack. We are excited to work directly with
TransAct Technologies to bring their best-in-class gaming printer
solution to our new facility in downtown Sioux City as we seek to
deliver a guest experience never before seen in the market. The Hard
Rock Hotel & Casino brand is synonymous with leading-edge entertainment

they deliver on that promise to our customers.”
