GPI to Showcase Exciting New RFID Technology, Furniture, and Playing Card
Products at G2E Asia

New products designed to provide value, increase security for casino customers

LAS VEGAS, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gaming Partners International
Corporation (Nasdaq: GPIC) announced today the new products that it will
showcase at the Global Gaming Expo Asia ("G2E Asia") tradeshow to be held on
June 3-4 at the Cotai Strip(R) CotaiExpo(TM) at the Venetian Macao.

As G2E Asia tailors its conference to address the challenges facing the casino
industry in today's economic climate, GPI will be introducing new products
designed to assist casino customers to strengthen their bottom lines, either
by cutting costs or eliminating risk and increasing security.

GPI will be showcasing its newest development in RFID readers and application
software for casinos. Complementing GPI's existing line of RFID technology
available in both 125 KHz and 13.56 MHz frequencies, the new readers and
application software facilitate improved security of casino currency,
increased speed of play and the elimination of error in chip counts and
calculations. For the first time at G2E Asia, GPI will feature live
demonstrations of its RFID technologies at work, highlighting the benefits for
chip authenticity verification, tracking and inventorying.

GPI will also be introducing its eReady(TM) gaming tables, designed and built
especially to accommodate the electronic equipment that is increasingly
required on gaming tables. The eReady table design allows for ventilation and
cooling of electronic equipment, elimination of signal interference of RFID
transmitters and specially-built areas for shufflers and bill validators that
are ergonomically placed for dealer convenience and comfort.

"With the growing use of RFID technology for chip verification and tracking,
today's gaming tables require more electronic equipment to be installed in
them," commented Gerard Charlier, CEO and President of GPI. "Drawing upon our
extensive furniture manufacturing experience as well as our pioneering efforts
in developing RFID technology, GPI has developed an innovative and unique
design that will allow the electronic equipment to perform at its fullest
potential, while maintaining the beauty and function of our gaming tables."

Also being showcased this year is GPI's newest line of playing cards, called
the PSV Series(TM). This new line features a unique paper formulation
produced exclusively for GPI and designed to provide an economical yet quality
addition to its existing line of premium playing cards, the Paulson(R) series.

"Players, dealers and shuffling machines can put a lot of wear and tear on a
deck of playing cards. With the casinos facing tough economic challenges
everyday, replacing these cards on a daily basis can add up. The PSV Series
is designed with value in mind," stated Gregory S. Gronau, Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer of GPI. "Specially developed for use on
high-traffic games or in shufflers, the PSV Series offers the design and
quality of our premium Paulson series of cards with a slightly lighter paper
weight and less cost. That translates to more value per deck for our
customers."

The PSV Series of playing cards are available in single decks, as well as
pre-shuffled blocks of 8, 10, and 12 decks.

Along with these new products, GPI will also present its popular lines of
casino chips, plaques and jetons, dice, layouts, gaming tables and
accessories. For a full demonstration of all GPI products, visit Booth #1133.
