Electronic
Game Card Confirms Order
Electronic Game Card, Inc.,
the US rewards based games company, announced
today that Scientific Games International (SGI)
has placed an order for two electronic games
totaling 300,000 cards. EGC provides the electronic
game cards to US lotteries under a Joint Venture
operation with Scientific Games International
(SGI).
Of
the 300,000 cards ordered, 120,000 will be used
by the Kansas Lottery. The Kansas Lottery delayed
the launch of the Company's electronic games
in late 2005 due to errors related to battery
connections in a small number of cards. The
new game cards are scheduled to be launched
in the Spring of 2006 in the same play style
and card quantity as originally planned. The
game features a "match three numbers' play
style and is identical to the game card currently
on sale in the US.
The
remaining 180,000 cards feature the all-new
"five card stud poker" play format.
EGC estimates that the game will go on sale
in the US market as early as the Spring of 2006.
EGC
expects recent quality control measures implemented
by the Joint Venture to strengthen the long
term performance of the product. In addition,
customized high speed labeling equipment, scheduled
to be installed in the US in February 2006,
is expected to expedite the delivery of electronic
game cards to the North American market.
