Safe Harbor Disclosure
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. All statements included in this presentation, other than statements that are purely historical, are forward-looking statements.
Words such as "going forward," "believes," "intends," "expects," "forecasts," "anticipate," "plan," "seek," "estimate" and similar
expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, without limitation: (a) our
2012 guidance and estimates of 2012 cash EPS and Adjusted EBITDA and the assumptions upon which they are based; (c) our
assumption that there will be a modest improvement in the gaming industry for 2012; (d) our assumption for 2012 capital expenditures;
(e) our assumption for 2012 that there will be approximately 66.0-67.0 million diluted shares outstanding; and (f) our belief that EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA and Cash EPS are widely-referenced financial measures in the financial markets and our belief that references to the
foregoing are helpful to investors.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected or assumed, including but not limited to the following: the timing and the extent of a recovery in the gaming industry, if any;
gaming establishment and patron preferences; national and international economic conditions; changes in gaming regulatory, card
association and statutory requirements; regulatory and licensing difficulties; competitive pressures; operational limitations; gaming
market contraction; changes to tax laws; uncertainty of litigation outcomes; interest rate fluctuations; inaccuracies in underlying
operating assumptions; unanticipated expenses or capital needs; technological obsolescence; and employee turnover. In addition, our
belief that our projected results of operations for calendar year 2012 will begin to improve are based on many assumptions, including,
without limitation, the following: the anticipated positive impact on our results of operations from the recent implementation of the
Durbin Amendment in October 2011; the anticipated opening of several new casinos in 2012 in new gaming jurisdictions; and our belief
that the overall gaming market in the United States, in general, has stabilized and may improve modestly in 2012. If any of these
assumptions prove to be incorrect, the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements regarding our future results of
operations are unlikely to be realized.
The forward-looking statements in this presentation are subject to additional risks and uncertainties set forth under the heading "Risk
Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on March 12, 2012, our subsequent
Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q and are based on information available to us on the date hereof. We do not intend, and assume no
obligation, to update any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date of this presentation.

Cash Access is Critical to Success of Casinos
 Currently almost all U.S. gaming transactions are completed in cash
 60%+ of all wagering funds come from on-floor cash access services
 Without services like those provided by GCA, casino revenues would be
limited to the cash that patrons bring into the casino
 Quick, efficient access to cash is critical to casinos’ growth and profitability
 Patrons increasing use of credit and bank cards requires casinos to offer a
broad mix of cash access end points
 Redemption devices and other hardware delivery systems are becoming
critical components of casino floor
 GCA dispenses approximately $19 Billion to the casino floor through about
90 million transactions annually

Competitive Landscape – Recent Events
Purchase of Assets of MCA Processing LLC:

Pennsylvania Caesars locations)

is a difference between service levels among competitiors

carry full Non-Restricted Gaming Licenses
 GCA was granted license number 1 for cash access providers by Nevada in March 2012

providers

Continued Benefit of Sizeable Deferred Tax Assets
 As of December 31, 2011, GCA had net deferred income tax assets of $119.5 million
 The deferred tax assets are principally the result of our conversion from a limited
liability company, a balance of acquired and pre-existing goodwill, and NOLs;
provides a significant cash-based tax shield for IRS purposes but not GAAP
earnings
 The assets are generally amortized over a 15 year life and began amortizing in 2004.
This has resulted in a cash-based shielding of pre-tax income of approximately $52.3
million annually for tax accounting purposes, with a direct positive impact on cash
earnings relative to GAAP earnings
 Allows for capital structure optimization
 Has helped GCA weather difficult gaming industry landscape and supports ability to
service future debt

declines will be substantially corresponding commission reductions from GCA pass-through of the
reductions
 Operating costs will be higher than 2011 with a full year of MCA operating costs, additional payroll costs
from headcount increases and payment of annual bonuses and additional spending/roll-out of planned
improvements on Base Products
 Average diluted shares 66-67 million
 Tax rate 42-45%
