                  exhibit to celebrate the launch of Aristocrat's The George
                  Lopez Game(TM), a 25-line double standalone progressive
                  penny slot based on the unique and hilarious comedy of the
                  well-known actor and comedian.  George Lopez, who was
                  recently recognized last month by Time magazine as one of
                  "The 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America," will sign
                  autographs and greet attendees.

                  Aristocrat's The George Lopez Game features dual monitors,
                  two standalone tiered progressive jackpots, and a
                  second-screen bonus feature.  When players wager max lines
                  and a 10-credit ante bet, they become eligible for one of
                  the two progressive jackpots.  Players who progress to the
                  third level of the jackpot bonus round are eligible for the
                  Major Jackpot, which is usually 10 times the Minor Jackpot.

                  upscale and sleek design with a 19-inch, flat-screen LCD
                  monitor on the top box that displays the two progressive
                  jackpots.  Lopez fans will recognize symbols and graphics
