GameTech International, Inc., is a leading designer, developer and marketer of electronic bingo equipment and bingo systems. Taken from the company's most recent 10-K filing, this is their mission statement:

We design, develop, and market interactive electronic bingo player terminals and systems. We currently market portable terminals, which can be played anywhere within a bingo hall, and fixed-base systems with touchscreen-activated monitors. We have portable and fixed-base terminals operating in charitable, Native American, commercial, and military bingo halls. Both our portable and fixed-base systems display electronic bingo card images for each bingo game. Our electronic bingo terminals enable players to play substantially more bingo cards than they can play on paper cards, typically leading to a greater spend per player and higher profits per bingo session for the bingo operator. We install the electronic bingo systems, typically at no cost to the operator, and charge either a fixed fee per use per terminal per session, a fixed weekly fee per terminal, or a percentage of the revenue generated by each terminal. We typically enter into one- to three-year contracts with bingo operators.

Bingo is a legal enterprise in 47 states (excluding Arkansas, Hawaii, and Utah) and the District of Columbia. Nonprofit organizations sponsor bingo games for fundraising purposes, while Native American, commercial entities, and government-sponsored entities operate bingo games for profit. As of October 31, 2005, we had systems in approximately 25 of the more than 30 states that allow electronic bingo systems for use with charitable and commercial organizations. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, or IGRA, electronic bingo may be played on Native American lands in the 47 states where bingo is legal. We estimate that bingo currently is played on Native American lands in 30 states. As of October 31, 2005, we had terminals in operation in Native American bingo halls in 13 of those states. Collectively, as of October 31, 2005, we had products in 36 states and in five foreign countries.
