Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 12, 2005, VendingData entered into a Settlement Agreement with Shuffle Master, Inc., with respect to the legal proceeding filed on March 27, 2002, by Shuffle Master, Inc., against VendingData in the United States District Court, District of Nevada (Case No. CV-S-02-0438-JCM-PAL). The complaint alleged, among other things, claims for patent infringement relating to two of Shuffle Master’s patents and requested treble damages and an injunction enjoining VendingData from infringing on such patents. The Shuffle Master patents at issue are United States Patent Numbers 6,325,373 and 6,068,258, regarding registering use of a playing card shuffler apparatus and the displaying of the use on a display. VendingData had denied the claims and asserted counterclaims against Shuffle Master. The trial date for this matter was set for July 25, 2005.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed to dismiss their claims and counter-claims in the particular action and Shuffle Master has agreed not to bring any claims against VendingData for the infringement of the above-referenced patents for past or future use of the technology, with the exception of matters involving infringement of the following aspects of Patent No. 6,325,373: (i) a method of recovering from a card jam in an automatic card shuffler, as further described in Claim 6 of Patent No. 6,325,373; and (ii) an automatic card shuffler with a card moving mechanism to clear card jams, as further described in Claim 7 of Patent No. 6,325,373. In return, VendingData will make settlement payments to Shuffle Master in the amount of $400,000 payable on or before July 14, 2005, and $400,000 which is due on or before May 14, 2006.

The Settlement Agreement extends only to the matters described above relating to Patent Numbers 6,325,373 and 6,068,258, and does not extend to the legal proceeding filed on October 5, 2004, by Shuffle Master, Inc., against VendingData in the United States District Court, District of Nevada (Case No. CV-S-04-1373-JCM-LRL). Those litigation proceedings continue and are not affected by the Settlement Agreement.
