Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure

      On December 27, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit issued a final ruling regarding our Notice of Appeal in the infringement
action brought against us by Shuffle Master, Inc. in the United States District
Court, District of Nevada (Case NO. CV-S-04-1373-JCM-LRL) on October 5, 2004.
The Notice of Appeal related to the order issued by the United States District
Court granting Shuffle Master's motion for a preliminary injunction preventing
us from selling our PokerOne(TM) Shuffler.

      In its ruling the Court of Appeals reversed the order of the District
Court and overturned the preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court of
Appeals expressly concluded that under our claim construction, our PokerOne(TM)
Shuffler does not infringe on Shuffle Master's patent for its shuffler product.
The Court of Appeal's decision permits us to seek damages from Shuffle Master
for the period we were wrongfully enjoined. We intend to pursue all available
remedies against Shuffle Master relating to this matter.
