From the

        Desk of the CEO

Welcome  to  Merit  circa  2009  –  and  thank  you  for  helping  to  make 

Megatouch

®

 the world’s leading platform for touchscreen casual gaming 

through the years.

In  the  entertainment  world  “Content  is  King”.  Great  content  is  what 

entertains  people.  Books  and  movies  must  have  a  compelling  story. 

Sporting events need rivalries between teams. Jukeboxes need fresh, hot 

music. Games need to be fun and addicting! 

Profits in our industry are driven by entertaining people with truly great 

content.  Whether  it’s  through  direct  payments  by  players,  advertising- 

supported  business  models,  merchandising,  or  other  indirect  means, 

revenue streams in the entertainment business depend on great content. 

At Merit we understand and take seriously the need for new game content. Each year we 

deliver fresh games that renew interest by players, and renew profits to operators. For 

2009 we have a new game lineup that exceeds even our own towering expectations. 

With Avalanche Jack

™

 we are literally putting a new “spin” on the classic card game 

blackjack. Games like Lucky 11’s

™

 and Super Boxxi

™

 take proven game concepts to the 

next level. With Super Cell Chaos

™

 we’ve created an innovative form of game play that 

will draw new players to Megatouch. Games such as My Ex

™

 and Deflection

™

 are simply 

fresh, unique, and tons of fun. And there’s much, much more. 

While game content is certainly “King”, the success of Megatouch also depends on many 

other  things.  For  example,  our  game  platforms,  starting  with  the  flagship  Aurora,  are 

unmatched  in  the  industry.  Our  distributors  collectively  provide  fantastic  service  and 

support, and Tournamaxx

®

 continues to offer enhanced earnings for incisive operators. 

Now  is  a  great  time  to  connect  your  Megatouch  machines  to  the  network.  Take 

advantage of revenue uplift from advertising, jukebox music selection, and tournaments. 

Reduce  ownership  costs  with  online  configuration,  service  alerts,  and  downloadable 

software updates. Ask us how to connect – it’s much easier and more valuable than you 

may think! 

I am extremely proud of the Megatouch team – those inside the walls of Merit, and the 

many partners and customers who actively participate in helping Megatouch deliver a 

great experience for players. THANK YOU for your continued support.

Finally, in early 2009 you can check out the all-new www.megatouch.com – our first 

player-dedicated Web site.

Mike Maas, CEO, Merit Entertainment

Let’s Talk Connections

Connected machines make more money. It’s simply the 

truth.  Operators  with  connected  machines  spend  less 

time traveling from location to location. They also have 

access to exclusive features that bring in more players 

and  more  money.  Saving  more  while  earning  more  –

what could be better?
