Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Elixir Gaming Technologies, Inc. (“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 the Company’s operations in this market.

 

While the Company’s venues experienced minor damage as a result of the storm, Elixir Gaming anticipates its venues to gradually resume normal business activity in the next couple of weeks. Only two of the Company’s venues in operation suffered some water damage and damage to its 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 total gaming participation revenue for the third quarter of 2009 approximately in line with second quarter 2009 levels.

 

On September 28, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the impact of Tropical Storm Ondoy.  The press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
