Global Payment Technologies Inc. announces a two year supply agreement with Aristocrat Technologies, Australia Pty Limited
                  
 
  

Hauppauge, New York, July 12, 2001 - Global Payment Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ Symbol: GPTX) ("GPT"), a leading
manufacturer and innovator of currency acceptance systems used in the worldwide gaming, beverage, and vending industries today
announced that it has signed a new two-year Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd.
(“Aristocrat”), through its affiliate Global Payment Technologies Australia Pty Ltd. (“GPT-Australia”).  Aristocrat, a Sydney, Australia
based company, is the second largest manufacturer of gaming machines in the world, and the leader in the substantial Australian
gaming market.  The Agreement calls for GPT to be the “Most Favored Supplier” for the Australian, New Zealand and South African
gaming markets and, as such, GPT will be the currency validating equipment used as the standard by Aristocrat in its gaming
machines for these markets.  As in prior Agreements, this does not preclude Aristocrat from using alternative currency validating
equipment. 

Stephen Katz, GPT’s Chairman and CEO, said, “Since 1995, Aristocrat and GPT have forged a close working relationship that began
with the development of GPT’s Generation II product.  Since that time, our sales, marketing and engineering departments have
continued to work closely to create a mutually beneficial partnership, which includes local sales, service and support provided by our
affiliate, Global Payment Technologies Australia Pty Ltd.  The new Agreement is a natural progression of our long-standing business
relationship that spans more than six years and marks a strong beginning for the next phase of our growing partnership.  We are
pleased to continue to supply Aristocrat, one of the leading gaming companies in the world and the premier gaming company in
Australia, what GPT believes to be, the best note validation equipment available today.  We look forward to supporting Aristocrat as
they continue their unprecedented growth and global expansion.”
