CINCINNATI, May 14, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Games Inc.

"Everyone who has ever played a game has a comment or two to say to their opponents," said Carol Meinhardt, EVP and COO of Games Inc. "Table Talk(TM) brings everyone the old-fashioned face to face standard of play through the use of technology.

"We have not yet projected the additional revenue to be gained from the new TableTalk(TM) product line for 2004, but this will be a very unique and differentiated feature for Games Inc.; and we may well license the technology to a limited number of premiere game sites," added Mr. Cairns.
