Gaming Partners International Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter
and Year-end 2007

Las
Vegas, Nevada, March 31, 2008Gaming Partners International Corporation (Nasdaq: GPIC), the leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment,
today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

For
the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reported revenues of $19.9 million compared to revenues of $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross profit for the quarter was
$7.0 million, or 35% of revenues, compared to $4.4 million or 27% of revenues in the same period a year ago. The increase in revenues was due in part to filling a large order for the
opening of the MGM Macau.

Net
income for the fourth quarter was $903,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to $115,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter 2006.

For
the year ended December 31, 2007, revenues were $58.8 million compared to revenues of $74.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. Gross profit for the year was
$18.0 million, or 31% of revenues, compared to $24.4 million, or 33% of revenues in 2006. The decline in revenues was due to fewer chip sales to casinos in Macau, although our
significant market share of the chip, plaque, and jeton sales in this region remained stable.

Net
income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $240,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $5.1 million or $0.64 per basic and $0.62 per diluted share
for the year ended December 31, 2006.

As
of December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $9.4 million, compared to $10.6 million on December 31, 2006.

As
of December 31, 2007, our backlog of unfilled orders, which are expected to be filled in 2008, amounted to approximately $11.1 million. At December 31, 2006, our backlog was
$5.5 million.

Commenting
on the results, Gerard Charlier, President and CEO, said, "Our fourth quarter was our best quarter of the year in terms of both revenue and profit and allowed us to rise just above
breakeven for the entire year. Our results in terms of both revenue and profit fell far behind last year. In particular, our sales to casinos in Macau are down significantly from 2006, which was an
exceptional year. We are pleased that this year we participated in the openings of the Crown Macau, the Venetian Macau, and MGM Macau, and the Wynn Macau's expansion.
