AMOA Honors Incredible Technologies with 3^rd Innovator Award
Cashless Payment Options for Golden Tee LIVE Cited By Operators as Future of Industry

(Arlington Heights, IL - September 26, 2005) For the third time in 4 years the Amusement and Music Operators Association has recognized Incredible Technologies by awarding them their prestigious Innovator Award. This year's honor was the second accorded to Golden Tee LIVE - focusing on LIVE's cashless payment options. In 2004 the association honored IT for Golden Tee LIVE itself - as the most innovative and groundbreaking game of the year. IT had previously won the award in 2002 for FACTS, the program that allows operators to conduct Golden Tee contests from the convenience of their office PC.

The AMOA Innovator awards are presented each year during the AMOA International Expo held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. They were established to recognize the efforts of coin-op manufacturers and suppliers in bringing exciting new products to market. Nominations were open to over 100 AMOA exhibitors. A panel of judges, chosen by the AMOA, examined the products and interviewed the designers. The award was presented to IT during the AMOA annual meeting on September 15th at the Las Vegas Hilton.

“During the past five years, the AMOA Innovator Awards Program has evolved into a prestigious acknowledgement of the industry's best new products,” said Jack Kelleher, AMOA Executive Vice President. “The AMOA salutes Incredible Technologies on being the only firm to receive this special honor three times.”

“Winning AMOA's Innovator Award this year is particularly exciting,” said Larry Hodgson, Vice President of Product Development and award-winning designer of Golden Tee. “It's very encouraging to us that operators have acknowledged that the future of coin-op is in cashless payments. Credit cards, gift cards and player account funds are now a reality. By offering these alternatives to cash, operators expand the scope of their business well beyond the few dollars a player may have in his pocket at any one time. Operators are discovering that by tapping into these new sources of revenue they are becoming more profitable.”

Elaine Hodgson, IT's CEO, is gratified by the recognition. “My partner, Richard Ditton, and I have always encouraged and supported innovation - not only within our company - but the entire industry,” she said. “It's only through innovation that we can grow and prosper. I'm very pleased that we won again this year - it's a testament to the talent and creativity of our people.

I want to thank the AMOA and all operators for this honor. I'm already looking forward to next year's competition,” she said.

Golden Tee LIVE is a product of Incredible Technologies, the largest manufacturer of coin-operated video games in the United States. Along with their flagship video golf series, IT's stable of top-earning products includes Silver Strike Bowling and Call of the Wild. Incredible Technologies employs over 110 designers, programmers, technicians, artists, and support personnel. For more information visit their websites at www.itsgames.com and www.goldentee.com.
