Win Systems announces the sale of its Gaming Division to Primero Games

Win Systems today announced the sale of its Gaming Division ("WSG"), which includes its Gold Club electronic roulette business, to Primero Games LLC ("Primero"), a U.S.-based provider of content, technology and products to the gaming industry.

The transaction marks the beginning of an important new chapter for Win Systems' Gaming Division, combining WSG's established international presence, product portfolio, manufacturing capabilities and customer relationships with Primero's gaming content, technology and development resources.

Win Systems' Gaming Division has consolidated a strong international presence, with an installed base of more than 3,000 gaming positions in Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Puerto Rico and Panama, as well as operations and customers in numerous markets around the world.

Under Primero's ownership, the Gaming Division will continue to support its current customers, products and operations, while also having access to Primero 's broad portfolio of games, platform technology and development capabilities.

"This combination strengthens both companies," said Eric Benchimol, CEO of Win Systems. "By combining our installed base, manufacturing operations and market knowledge with Primero's gaming portfolio and development engine, we will be able to offer our customers more and better products, and do so faster than either company could achieve separately. The team is excited and we look forward to working as part of Primero."

"This transaction marks the beginning of an exciting new era for our Gaming Division," said Dario Zutel, Executive Chairman of Win Systems. "We are confident that Primero Games is the right partner to continue to build on all that we have achieved and drive the business into its next stage of international growth."
"This is an important step in executing Primero Antes' growth strategy to build a global and diversified gaming company," said Mike Macke, Chairman of Primero Games. "Primero has built its reputation by creating engaging gaming content and developing innovative technology that helps operators generate consistent revenue through engaging gaming experiences for players."

"We are very excited to welcome Eric Benchimol, Dario Zutel and the talented WSG team to Primero," added Macke. "By combining Primero expertise in content and development with WSG's products, operations and customer relationships, we will be able to deliver more products, more content and greater value to our customers across a wider range of gaming markets."
