LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2004

Slot Games Featuring Julio Iglesias and Celia Cruz are the First to be Selected

Mikohn Gaming Corporation (Nasdaq:MIKN) (the Company), a leading provider of diversified products and services used in the gaming industry worldwide announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Star Slots International LLC (SSI) for the right to develop a new series of games featuring Hispanic legends such as Julio Iglesias and Celia Cruz.

Bob Parente, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing stated: "Our partnership with Star Slots offers us a unique opportunity to develop highly entertaining game content, featuring such Latino icons as Julio Iglesias, the most famous Latin singer in the world and Celia Cruz, undeniably the "Queen of Salsa". The explosive growth of the Hispanic market nationwide has outpaced any other group and this, coupled with the continued expansion of gaming nationwide, provides opportunities for us to address a new and exciting market."

According to Carlos Barba, founder of SSI and entertainment industry pioneer, "As the fastest growing demographic segment in the USA, if not worldwide, the Hispanic population has tremendous buying power, with nearly 40 million consumers and 500 billion dollars in buying power in the United States alone. Yet, to date, it is a market segment that is largely unaddressed by the gaming industry. We feel our partner Mikohn is demonstrating its vision and leadership by establishing a partnership with SSI for the right to develop slot games based on the leading Hispanic entertainment franchises. Through this partnership, Mikohn is affording themselves a unique opportunity to lead this industry and unleash the potential of this untapped and potentially unlimited market segment."
