Electronic Game Card Confirms Order

NEW YORK – (PRESS RELEASE) – Electronic Game Card, Inc. (OTCBB: EGMI), 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.
