Item 8.01                Other Events

On September 23, 2011, SEGOB, the governmental body that issues permits and regulates gaming activities in Mexico, issued an information bulletin to casino operators notifying them that all card and roulette games, whether live or electronic, would no longer be permitted. As a result, we have been working with our customers to temporarily remove all PokerTek games from the gaming floor pending further clarification. As of June 30, 2011, we had placed 76 electronic table games in Mexico, representing approximately 17% of total quarterly revenue.

We believe that this information bulletin represents a continuation of the government’s recent effort to strengthen the regulatory environment following the tragic casino fire in Monterrey last month. It is our understanding that SEGOB and other governmental agencies will continue to review specific permit-holders, evaluating permissible games in the market, with additional regulatory clarifications and/or or new permits anticipated.

We believe that strengthened government regulation and increased enforcement of those regulations is ultimately positive for the Mexico gaming market. However, we cannot provide any assurance as to timing or ultimate outcome of this process.
