On 14 September 2005, the Group announced that it was developing a new cash
dispensing machine - incorporating its revolutionary new sales promotion
mechanic called Everyone's A Winner ('EAW') and indicated that it was intending
to commence the roll out of prototype machines in time for this Christmas.
The prototypes have now been built and as part of the proof of concept pilot
disclosed in September the first machines have been installed in certain Punch
Taverns pubs and PowerHouse retail stores this week.
The new live broadband machines will enable customers to withdraw cash and play
the EAW game. When customers only withdraw cash, they will receive a reward
equivalent to at least twice the fee for using the cash withdrawal service.
The Group announced its intention to roll out 10,000 of the new machines across
the UK and this will start in earnest in the second quarter of next year.
Discussions in connection with the banking service provisions continue and the
Group will report further on this as soon as possible.
