Kinbasha Gaming International, Inc. Announces 1-for-12 Common Stock Reverse Split

Kinbasha Gaming International, Inc. (the “Company”) (Pink Sheets: KNBA), owner and operator of retail gaming centers in Japan, today announced a reverse split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock on a one-for-twelve (1:12) ratio (the "Reverse Split") which will be effective on or about Tuesday, March 13, 2012.

The Reverse Split reduces the number of outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 92,972,381 shares to approximately 7,747,699 shares. The Reverse Split will not have any effect on the percentage ownership of holders of the Company's common stock. The Company's shares will trade under the symbol "KNBAD" with a "D" added for 20 trading days after the reverse split is accomplished, to signify that the reverse stock split has occurred. A new CUSIP number has been assigned to the Company's common stock as a result of the reverse split.

"We are pleased to make this announcement as we seek to improve the marketability and liquidity of Kinbasha’s common stock and increase our potential viability as an investment opportunity," said Masatoshi Takahama, Chief Executive Officer. “Specifically, we believe the higher split-adjusted stock price will make it easier to effect transactions in our stock, broaden our potential audience and shareholder base and ultimately enhance our valuation. As we grow our operations in Japan, this decision will also help better position Kinbasha for our long-term goal of applying for a listing on a senior exchange such as NASDAQ or NYSE Amex, as soon as we meet the listing requirements.”

Shareholders whose shares are held in their brokerage accounts will have their ownership position adjusted automatically, without taking any further action. Shareholders who are currently holding common share certificates in paper form should note on the certificate the “post-split” number of common shares represented by the certificate. To get this number, take the face amount of the shares on the certificate and divide by 12. If the result has a fraction of a share, round up to one full share.

Investors can opt to send their certificates into the transfer agent and have new certificates reissued, but the transfer agent will charge a small fee for this exchange. Shareholders are welcome to contact the transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., at: 212-509-4000 ext. 206, or by e-mail at: cstmail@continentalstock.com.

In all cases the transfer agent will adjust the Company's shareholders records to reflect the Reverse Split and the resulting number of post-split shares by each shareholder.
