G a m i n g N e w s 1 5 T h u r s d a y, A p r i l 2 , 2 0 1 5 GLORY GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES UPGRADED SK-500 ATM KIOSK By Rick Friese, EVP Sales and Marketing at Glory Global Solutions, North America Glory Global Solutions, a worldwide leader in comprehensive cash handling solutions, is demonstrating a new, multi-function ATM, ticket redemption and bill breaking kiosk at this year's National Indian Gaming Association Convention and Tradeshow. The SK-500 represents a signifi- cant functional upgrade to Glory's kiosk line, with increased transaction speeds, real-time activity monitoring, less machine down time and enhanced web based data management capabili- ties. The new SK-500 boasts the largest capacity in its class, with five 3,000 note cassettes, minimizing the need to refill the kiosk on a busy casi- no floor. It also includes remote access and monitoring capabilities, enabling casino employees to check the machine inventory, produce necessary reports and change the machine settings without leaving their control room. Glory is the only compa- ny in the industry in North America that designs, pro- duces, deploys and provides the maintenance service on its own cash handling kiosks. With levels of expertise that other providers can't offer, Glory can provide complete cash management solutions at all cash points throughout the casino, reducing employee stress and improving accura- cy, efficiency and security across com- plex transaction landscapes. The launch of the SK-500 reflects Glory's commitment to a growing gaming sector, which remains heavily reliant on cash management solutions to keep business moving. Cash handling within the retail sector of a casino is costly and requires significant staff resources, so Glory's ability to count, authenticate, secure and automate cash transactions is vital in creating efficien- cy savings.

GOLDKEY SECURE COMMUNICATOR: THE GOLD STANDARD FOR A WEARABLE DEVICE GoldKey has announced the world's first Secure Communicator, the first watch that is a complete standalone wearable phone. "You don't need anything else with it. It's got two organizations already announcing Best of Show awards for it, so it's a pretty exciting product," said GoldKey Chairman, Dr. Roger Billings. In addition to a fully functional Android cell phone compatible with applications downloaded from the Google Play Store, this smart watch also has a fast and reliable dual core proces- sor, a built-in 5MP camera, an HD video camera, as well as GPS, a high-quality speaker, microphone, Bluetooth compat- ibility and Wi-Fi hotspot. "I don't even carry a cell phone now. I just use my watch," Billings said. "I use a regular Bluetooth earpiece, and Bluetooth talks to the watch, so I just look like anyone else talking in the cell phone, except that I don't have it hang- ing on the belt. But in a pinch, you can use it Dick Tracy-style with the speaker phone, and it's pretty cool." With GoldKey inside, the Secure Communicator is a dual-factor authenti- cation device featuring secure email and encrypted cloud storage. The watch's Gold Pay authentication technolo- gy means that the wearer can depend on the security of transac- tions made with a variety of pay- ment options that protect sensitive financial information, including credit card numbers, from ever being revealed to the vendor. "It's all about security. Emails sent from this phone and texts are fully encrypted, so that you have a completely secure sys- tem. Later this year, we are planning to release Gold Talk, which will encrypt telephone conversations between users," Billings said. "Wherever a person needs security, you can strap it on and it'll always be with you. It's just nice to have it really handy." The watch's security is tied to a GoldKey encryption key that's managed by a piece of USB hardware that's deliv- ered to the Secure Communicator's owner with the purchase. Authorities who want to obtain data transmitted through the Secure Communicator couldn't get hold of it with a subpoena to GoldKey – they'd have to come to the Secure Communicator's owner. "The company that deploys this has access to the keys, but we don't," Billings said. With all that functionality, The Secure Communicator also looks good. "The watches are nice pieces of jewelry. I like the looks of it," Billings said. "It's good-looking, and it can absolutely be worn without being noticed for its gad- getry. It looks like a regular luxury watch, just like an analog clock. It's almost like my Rolex." For more information, visit www .goldkey.com. REVOLUTIONARY PAYMENT TECHNOLOGY – NEVER LOSE YOUR CARDS AGAIN You may or may not have heard about a comparatively small, but highly innova- tive tech company called NXT-ID. They've been busily developing their Wocket ® biometric smart wallet since long before consumers had ever heard of Apple Pay. NXT-ID Inc. saw the evolu- tion of the payment industry before it happened and stepped up to the plate. So if you haven't heard the name, pay atten- tion – this smart security company is about to change the way we think about wallets forever. NXT-ID Inc. was recently listed on NASDAQ (NXTD and NXTDW), mak- ing its debut to technology investors that realize the payments industry as we know it is evolving. Smart money is looking for the next game-changer. The founders of NXT-ID predicted consumers asking, "Why do we need to carry a wallet full of plastic cards and cash to handle day-to-day commerce?" This massive opportunity has been vir- tually untapped, and while most of its competitors are targeting payments tied to mobile phones, NXT-ID is doing something quite special. Wocket™, its next generation smart wallet, is designed to replace your traditional wallet along with all the cards you carry in it, without requiring a smart- phone or internet connection. NXT-ID saw the need for protect- ing your identity, making secure pay- ments and replacing all your credit cards, gift cards and ID with one sin- gle, secure card. The team's back- ground in biometric security enabled them to approach the product develop- ment with an advanced knowledge of the threats that consumers may face in the future and the best ways to protect against them. This security-first think- ing led the team to create a revolution- ary wallet that they are calling the "smartest wallet you'll ever own." Analysts following the stock are bullish, with several "outperforms" if the company meets its 2015 mile- stones. Behind the scenes, the compa- ny's technology team is working on the next evolution of its Wocket, knowing the payment industry is not standing still. All the tech leaders are entering the digital wallet market; with its first mover advantage and standout team, NXT-ID Inc. aims to build on its suc- cess by putting Wockets in the pockets of people everywhere. The Wocket works anywhere cred- it cards are accepted and only works with your biometric stamp of approval.
