Electronic Game Card, Inc. (OTCBB: EGMI), the creator of the Electronic
GameCard, notes the positive press comments on June 25th 06 regarding Kansas
Lottery's re-order of its battery-powered Super 7's game and is pleased to
confirm it is supplying the Electronic GameCards to Kansas Lottery through
its joint venture with Scientific Games Corp. According to the reports the
battery-powered "Super 7's" instant-winner game has been "flying off the
shelves," with the game "approaching sellout after just five weeks of retail
sales". As a result, Kansas Lottery has made a full re-order. Kansas Lottery
Executive Director Ed Van Petten was reported as saying: "We anticipated a
positive response to the game, but the sales and positive feedback from our
players have gone beyond our expectations." Kansas is the second US state
lottery to introduce an electronic GameCard based game using the Company's
products under the joint venture with Scientific Games Corp. In June, it
began statewide sale of its first 120,000 Super 7 Electronic GameCard game.
"Many lotteries have been seeking a new vehicle to allow them to push their
retail price points for instant tickets above $5 or $10. The Electronic
GameCard has proven to be that vehicle" says Daniel Kane, Senior
Vice-President of EGC. "Examination of the player response certainly points
to a solid player acceptance of both real extended play and the perceived
value of the EGC product. Other lotteries can rest easier and order with
confidence now that the GameCards have proven themselves in two
jurisdictions."
Electronic Game Card is also pleased to confirm that it has made its first
sales of electronic GameCards for use in commercial promotions to the MGM
Grand Casino in Detroit and to the native American Santa Ana Star Casino
north of Albuquqerque in New Mexico.
