»Megatouch® Hardware

Megatouch games draw players because they are sleek, playful, and alluring.

Operators love owning Megatouch games because they are rugged, secure, and easy to service.

Together, player passion and easy service make the Megatouch far and away the finest, best-

earning countertop game an operator can own.

Players want to spend their money on a Megatouch, because it is the ultimate hardware for

playing the games they love. We designed everything on the new Aurora – from the screen angle,

to the color patterns on the light halo, to the feel of the new joystick – all to guarantee that

players truly connect with their games. That’s why players ask for Megatouch by name.

For 30 years, Merit has been designing hardware to support operators with games players

love. During those three decades, we pioneered many changes that have since become industry

standards. Merit was the first to bring street and tavern operators a multi-game system, software

upgrades to sustain earnings on aging hardware, a touchscreen game system, and countertop game-

to-jukebox linking.

Today more than ever, Merit continues to push the envelope for player fun and operator earnings.

We are now the first to offer a 19" touchscreen, the first to offer zero setup wireless head-to-head

play on great games like Texas Hold ‘Em, the first to link to multiple brands of jukeboxes, and the

first to provide full broadband support for automated software updates and diagnostics.

Stick with Merit, we have your future covered.

»Megatouch Software 2008

Megatouch games are the most popular bar games ever created. With over four billion plays annually, Megatouch

operators earn more than $1.25 billion every year thanks to their Merit games. From the introduction of industry classics

Photo Hunt® and Trivia Whiz® over a decade ago, through enduring neo-classics like Card Bandits™ and Word Dojo™, to

last year’s smash hits Luxor and Hollywood Match™, we know expectations are high.

And oh did we deliver!

Merit’s 2008 Software release contains the most solid hits in the long history of Megatouch releases. Beer Pong (ION-

only), Chainz 2: Relinked, Photo Pop™, and Card Pirates™ are all across-the-board hits. Action-seeking fans find their

thrills through Luxor: Survival, Tricky Fish™ and Dodge Bull™. Puzzle solvers love the mental challenge of Ink Rally™.

Social players agree that Photo Pop™ is the long-awaited sequel to Photo Hunt. Wordsmiths have a new favorite with Zen

Word™. Erotic fans also get new games, including the ION-only Penthouse Video Mix™.

Merit has also added new Fast Play games. These are games that play in one and a half minutes and default to a single

credit. Fast Play games provide entertainment for the price sensitive and cautious new players, while making it easier to

increase the price on the other Standard Play titles.

Another new feature is the patent-pending Auto-Continue feature. For games with dozens of levels like Ink Rally, Luxor,

and Chainz 2: Relinked, disrupting game play with a “Continue” alert is annoying and discourages sustained play. Now,

one touch clears the way to play uninterrupted through all the credits in the game.

All of the new games bring an unprecedented level of graphical depth and player-entrancing joy. We’ve designed every

game to be fun the first time and fiftieth. Combine that replay value with their social appeal, and it becomes clear why

Megatouch is the only touchscreen game players ask for by name.
