Philadelphia, PA, October 20, 2009 – Lightning Gaming, Inc., a leading software game developer for casinos and entertainment venues worldwide, announced today that it has received approval from Gaming Laboratories International, Inc. (GLI) for the company’s newest slot product, Video SCRABBLE.  Lightning Gaming can now commence marketing and securing placements for Video SCRABBLE within gaming jurisdictions that recognize GLI.

Video SCRABBLE will make its industry debut at G2E 2009, along with SCRABBLE Spin™, the company’s next installment in its SCRABBLE brand series.  Lightning Gaming plans to display 20 titles in total at this year’s show, including a combination of licensed and non-licensed titles.

“Featuring one of the most recognizable and beloved brands, Video SCRABBLE appeals to traditional casino patrons and casual gamers everywhere,” states Brian Haveson, CEO of Lightning Gaming, Inc.  “Our first adaptation of SCRABBLE delivers engaging and entertaining game play, successfully translating the popularity of SCRABBLE to the casino industry and making it a winning complement to any slot mix.”

Video SCRABBLE Game Play
Video SCRABBLE is a bonus slot machine that engages players with a simple two-draw system of game play.  The object of the game is to score the highest possible word using the official SCRABBLE tournament word list. The player gets an initial draw of seven letter tiles.  The best available word is highlighted and the player then has the choice of holding any of the seven letter tiles.  A second draw is then initiated, replacing any tiles not held.  The highest value word is calculated and compared to a paytable to calculate the win.  A bonus is initiated when the player uses all seven letters and scores on the paytable.

Video SCRABBLE does not require spelling or vocabulary as the game will instantly reassemble drawn letters to form the highest possible word score and will automatically provide word definitions, thereby adding an enjoyable learning aspect to the game.

Video SCRABBLE Bonus
A SCRABBLE bonus occurs when a player uses seven letters that score in the paytable.  The bonus consists of a partially completed SCRABBLE board that is displayed on a secondary screen. Players automatically draw seven additional letter tiles that are sorted into the best word score in the board above.  Word scores from the bonus board are calculated into credits.   If all seven letter tiles are used, the player wins an additional 50 points. 

Video SCRABBLE is available as a five coin game.  A Video SCRABBLE game demonstration and top word scores are available at www.videoSCRABBLE.com.
