Kinbasha
Gaming International, Inc. Finalizes $6
Million Debt Settlement Agreement



Agreement with Bank Eliminates Approximately $6
Million in Principal, Interest and Penalties



HITACHI, Japan March 6,
2013 — Kinbasha Gaming
International, Inc.  (OTCQX: KNBA), owner
and operator of retail pachinko gaming centers nationally in Japan,
today
announced it has made the final payment as per its debt settlement agreement
with ISO Debt Recovery K.K. in connection with debt owed to Tokyo Star Bank
K.K., eliminating approximately $6 million in principal, interest and
penalties.  As per the agreement, payments
from Kinbasha totaled approximately $737,000 through February 28, 2013,
resulting in a net gain on settlement of approximately $5.2 million.



“This
is a significant event which wipes out $6 million in debt,” said Masatoshi
Takahama, Chief Executive Officer of Kinbasha. “This demonstrates Kinbasha’s
ability to reduce its debt through negotiations with our lenders.”



Since
2006, Kinbasha has worked with its lenders and in many cases has obtained
forbearances and loan modifications that have allowed the company to
effectively extend the maturity of its debt through interest only and/or
reduced principal payments, generally negotiated on a six month or annual
basis. 



Mr.
Takahama continued, “We look forward to
continuing our debt settlement initiatives while simultaneously improving our
financial position.  As we continue to realize new operational milestones, we
remain highly focused on improving our financial metrics on all fronts, and
carrying forward with
our expansion initiatives in Japan.”



As Kinbasha continues to pay down its debt, management plans to
obtain additional capital to build out and/or acquire pachinko parlor stores
within greater metropolitan areas in Japan. 
Kinbasha plans to shift the company’s strong branding, successful
operations teams and proprietary analytics technology to areas where pachinko
stores are more profitable, such as Tokyo, while continuing to streamline
operations.
