CINCINNATI, May 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Games, Inc. (OTCBB:GMSI) has expanded distribution of its lottery content so that this information is easily accessible and affordable for small to medium-sized websites. Clicking on www.lottery.com and then choosing "Data Feeds" from the navigation menu allows visitors to see a video presentation of this new service.
"Several states, including Illinois and Georgia, have live bills in their legislatures which would permit their state residents access to purchase lottery products over the Internet at a time of their own convenience; lottery results and jackpot information will be even more relevant to Internet users when these bills are enacted," said Myles Cairns, Games, Inc. CFO.
Through its Lottery.com division Games, Inc. has long been a provider of lottery content to large portals, newspaper websites, phone companies, etc. This lottery information, which includes lottery results and jackpot information for all U.S. state lotteries, and all Canadian lotteries, can now be purchased on a CPM basis. Publishers of the information need only pay for the content as it is accessed, making this content affordable for the smallest websites.
Cincinnati, Ohio-based, Games, Inc. operates in the area of interactive entertainment primarily focused on government-sponsored lotteries and Internet games. The Company's principal business owns and operates a portfolio of online portals focused on the delivery of interactive entertainment and content to consumers. The Company features two community-focused online game sites as well as proprietary games for purchase and download, conventional online play, peer-to-peer and tournament game play. Games, Inc. also features a digital greetings site and a site and proprietary back-end system for the online facilitation and reporting of state and provincially-sponsored lotteries.
