New York, London, (12.05.03) Electronic Game Card Inc, (OTCBB : EGMI) developer of digital pocket gamecards, today announced that it has commenced trading on the OTCBB under the symbol EGMI. Electronic Game Card, Inc. has completed a reverse take-over of Scientific Energy, Inc.

Electronic Game Card Inc, and its operating company Electronic Game Card Ltd, have developed a proprietary interactive credit-card-sized gaming product and format that has multiple applications for the US and international lottery, charitable, and sales promotions items markets, including direct mail. Globally these markets amount in size to over $200 billion a year.

EGC distributes its products through distribution agreements with leading suppliers in each of its targeted markets. Since May 2003, EGC has had a distribution agreement with Scientific Games International, Inc. under which Scientific Games has five year exclusive rights to distribute EGC game cards to lotteries worldwide. Scientific Games International is a subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ:SGMS), one of the leading global suppliers to the $30 billion instant lottery industry. Likewise, in the sales promotion arena, EGC has an exclusive two year distribution deal with Clegg International of California one of the largest direct mail firms in the US.

John Bentley, Chairman of EGC Inc, commented:
“EGC's unique technology breakthrough offers an exciting new marketing medium for major players. We see several distinct global, multi billion dollar markets where we can optimize the contemporary entertainment appeal of our gamecard applications . Our public listing is an important step forward in our ability to deliver our products to the leading commercial prospects in our markets in the US and overseas.”

The design of EGC's credit card sized games allows them to be programmed with multiple plays and wins for play over days or weeks. This offers greater flexibility of pricing and ROI to EGC's business customers, as well as greater play value for the consumer. In July the Las Vegas Hilton became the first to use an EGC “slots” styled pocket gamecard in a casino sales promotion. The launch date, utilizing EGC gamecards by a US state lottery operator, is to be announced shortly.

A more detailed description of the transaction, reorganized company, management biographicals, and financial statements for both companies is set-out in a contemporaneously filed Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. The Company anticipates filing, contemporaneously with this Press Release, an 8-K containing the foregoing information and which 8-K would be supplemented as soon as consolidated financials for the parent and subsidiary corporations are available.
