NEW YORK -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Scientific Games Racing, a division of Scientific Games (Nasdaq: SGMS), has signed a new contract to run all of the pari-mutuel wagering systems for Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (TSX: GC). Scientific Games will be supplying racing terminals as well as its Quantum(TM) System for processing wagers. This agreement includes the renewal of Great Canadian's British Columbia racetracks and Teletheatre network (TBC) in addition to new contracts for its two racetracks in Ontario.

The two new pari-mutuel contracts include all wagering systems for Flamboro Downs in Hamilton, Ontario and Georgian Downs in Barrie, Ontario as well as their off-track teletheatres. They will come online with Scientific Games Racing in August 2007. The four contract renewals in British Columbia are for Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino in Surrey, Sandown Park in Sidney and the Teletheatre network (TBC). In addition to coming online with the Quantum(TM) System, the tracks will be upgrading some of their terminals to the new BetJet(R) series.

"We are excited to expand our relationship with Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, a premier casino and racetrack operator," observed Lorne Weil, Chairman and CEO of Scientific Games. "This is also a vote of confidence for our Quantum(TM) System, which will revolutionize the way in which race wagering operations all over the world interact with their patrons and with other racing, wagering, and content providers."

"Scientific Games is the leader in pari-mutuel wagering technology, and we are looking forward to upgrading our systems and terminals which should improve handle and efficiency for Great Canadian in the coming months," said Chuck Keeling Vice President, Racing of Great Canadian Gaming.
