HONG KONG, Sep 28, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EGT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Elixir Gaming Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: EGT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) ("Elixir Gaming" or "the Company"), a provider of gaming technology solutions to the Pan-Asian gaming industry, announced today that Tropical Storm Ondoy (international name Ketsana), which struck the Philippines on Saturday, September 26, 2009 and resulted in record flooding in the last 40 years in areas including metro Manila, has temporarily impacted our Company's operations in this market.

While our venues experienced minor damage as a result of the storm, we anticipate our venues to gradually resume normal business activity in the next couple of weeks. Only two of our venues in operation suffered some water damage and damage to our machines and equipment was minimal. Despite the impact from the storm and the effect of the previously announced adverse weather conditions in recent months in the Philippines, the Company remains on track to achieve gaming participation revenue for the third quarter of 2009 approximately in line with second quarter 2009 levels.

Clarence Chung, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are deeply saddened by these tragic events and our thoughts and sympathies are with the Philippine people whose lives have been impacted. In addition, we would like to thank our team in the Philippines who proactively and tirelessly worked to minimize damage to our facilities."
