George Blake Appointed to the Board of Games, Inc.


CINCINNATI, March 9, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Games Inc. (OTCBB:GMSI) announces George R. Blake of Atlanta (Sandy Springs) has been elected to the Board of Directors of Games, Inc., which owns and operates Lottery.com, Games.com, Cards.com and other entertainment-related websites.

Blake, former editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is Vice President/Business Development of Premier Financial Services. He also serves on the boards of Stardust Technologies, Inc. and Consumer First, LLC.

Blake said, "Lotteries serve the public by providing needed cash to fund urgent educational needs. The Georgia Legislature has taken the important first step in allowing the public to enjoy Internet access to its state Lottery -- just like the on-line access we already have to buy license plates; purchase car, truck and boat licenses; hunting and fishing permits and business licenses and conduct other state and county business!"

Games Inc. has spent five years developing Public Internet Access to state lottery systems through a secure interconnection between its Lottery.com website and all state and provincial lotteries in the U.S. and Canada. Lottery.com also currently gathers and distributes state lottery results to major Web publishers including AOL Digital Cities, InfoSpace, MSN, MSNBC, Tribune Companies, USA Today and Yahoo. Games Inc. is prepared to submit its Lottery.com system to state lotteries for testing and verification and to apply for retail licenses on a state-by-state basis.

Games Inc. recently announced its acquisition of www.Games.com and holds all the exclusive online licenses for Scrabble, Monopoly, Risk, Yahtzee, and the Classic Atari Arcade games. Roger Ach, CEO of Games Inc. said, "We are very fortunate to have George Blake join our Board to help us grow our Company."
