EDISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2003

Creative Gaming Inc. (OTCBB:CLPI) today announced that, as part of CLPI's new strategic focus, CLPI has entered into a Business Development and Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement") with The Total Link International Inc. ("TTL"), a privately held competitive local telephone service provider headquartered in Kirkland, Wash. Under the terms of the Agreement, CLPI will assist TTL in expanding its ability to seek out equity investments and financing, offer business advice with respect to public relations as well as provide advice on business and marketing strategies for TTL's products and services.

TTL provides competitive local telephone service bundled with unlimited long distance, offering local phone customers considerable savings. TTL's primary market is residential and small business customers.

"One of the keys to success in our business is customer acquisition and TTL has developed a unique, proprietary customer acquisition strategy for developing a very large customer base, in a short period of time," said Deedie Berde, CEO and president. "We believe we have one of the most compelling opportunities within a burgeoning segment in the preexisting, multi-billion dollar competitive local phone market of the telecommunications industry."

CLPI recently changed its business focus and is developing a new model which is expected to enhance future shareholder value. The focus of that change is to identify, develop and participate in the operation of emerging businesses through the establishment of an extensive network of partner companies. CLPI's business plan is to acquire interests in companies currently involved in the following business sectors: consumer technology products and services, telecommunications, digital media products and services and consumer product companies.

CLPI's growth plan includes building a portfolio of interests in private firms with the potential to be spun-off or fully developed under the CLPI umbrella, either of which could significantly enhance long-term value for CLPI shareholders.

Frank Rovito, CLPI's president and CEO, stated, "TTL is positioned to enter the multi-billion-dollar-a-year telephone service industry. The relationship we have developed with TTL offers CLPI shareholders and investors the opportunity to participate in their future successes without ever directly investing. We are committed to a long-term business relationship with TTL as we continue to search for viable opportunities in order to further enhance shareholder value."
