One VendingData suit settled

Friday, July 15, 2005 | 10:41 a.m.

One of two lawsuits between two Las Vegas gaming equipment manufacturers over patents on card-shuffling machines has been settled, officials at Shuffle Master Inc. announced.

Under terms of the agreement, VendingData Corp. has agreed to pay $800,000 to Shuffle Master in exchange for a promise not to sue over two patents involving VendingData's Random Ejection shuffler system which Shuffle Master believed infringed on its patents.

Half of the settlement was to be paid immediately and the second half within 10 months.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas in 2002.

A second suit regarding Shuffle Master's claims involving VendingData's PokerOne shuffler remains in court.
