From the
Desk of the CEO
Welcome to Merit circa 2009 – and thank you for helping to make
Megatouch® the world’s leading platform for touchscreen casual gaming
through the years.
In the entertainment world “Content is King”. Great content is what
entertains people. Books and movies must have a compelling story.
Sporting events need rivalries between teams. Jukeboxes need fresh, hot
music. Games need to be fun and addicting!
Profits in our industry are driven by entertaining people with truly great
content. Whether it’s through direct payments by players, advertising-
supported business models, merchandising, or other indirect means,
revenue streams in the entertainment business depend on great content.
At Merit we understand and take seriously the need for new game content. Each year we
deliver fresh games that renew interest by players, and renew profits to operators. For
2009 we have a new game lineup that exceeds even our own towering expectations.
With Avalanche Jack™ we are literally putting a new “spin” on the classic card game
blackjack. Games like Lucky 11’s™ and Super Boxxi™ take proven game concepts to the
next level. With Super Cell Chaos™ we’ve created an innovative form of game play that
will draw new players to Megatouch. Games such as My Ex™ and Deflection™ are simply
fresh, unique, and tons of fun. And there’s much, much more.
While game content is certainly “King”, the success of Megatouch also depends on many
other things. For example, our game platforms, starting with the flagship Aurora, are
unmatched in the industry. Our distributors collectively provide fantastic service and
support, and Tournamaxx® continues to offer enhanced earnings for incisive operators.
Now is a great time to connect your Megatouch machines to the network. Take
advantage of revenue uplift from advertising, jukebox music selection, and tournaments.
Reduce ownership costs with online configuration, service alerts, and downloadable
software updates. Ask us how to connect – it’s much easier and more valuable than you
may think!
I am extremely proud of the Megatouch team – those inside the walls of Merit, and the
many partners and customers who actively participate in helping Megatouch deliver a
great experience for players. THANK YOU for your continued support.
Finally, in early 2009 you can check out the all-new www.megatouch.com – our first
player-dedicated Web site.

Let’s Talk Connections
Connected machines make more money. It’s simply the
truth. Operators with connected machines spend less
time traveling from location to location. They also have
access to exclusive features that bring in more players
and more money. Saving more while earning more –
what could be better?
MegaNet ® broadband connectivity offers Sneak Peek
games, updated content, and software patches that
download right to the machine. No more DVD installs,
and no more downtime. Check in on your machines from
home via our Remote Diagnostic Operator Web Site or

need to visit the location is to empty the cash box.
Plus, all connected machines feature link capabilities for
multi-unit head-to-head play, Tournamaxx®, MegaWeb™
Internet browsing, an exclusive Penthouse Pet of the
Month game, additional advertising capabilities, and
wireless linking to AMI jukeboxes and Tap.tv screens.

Breaking up is hard to do, especially when
you’re getting dumped by 3 girls at the same
time! Can you catch everything that’s being
thrown at you and toss it safely into your
truck? If you want to save your stuff, you
may have to juggle two items at a time. Be
careful not to drop anything, you’ll cause a
ruckus and nosy neighbors will call the cops.
One too many noise complaints and you’ll
get busted!
MY EX™
An arcade favorite comes to the touchscreen!
