Scientific Games, Mandalay Sign Exclusive Licensing Agreement25 November 2002NEW YORK -- Scientific Games Corporation (Nasdaq: SGMS) today announced it has signed a licensing agreement with Mandalay Resort Group (NYSE: MBG) permitting Scientific Games to promote new instant ticket games using Mandalay logos, designs and visual representations. The new games allow players to win luxurious Las Vegas vacations at one of the five Mandalay resorts in Las Vegas. Lorne Weil, Chairman and CEO of Scientific Games Corporation said, "For some time now, we have recognized that the excitement generated by licensed games can increase lottery sales. The Mandalay agreement will enable us to offer lotteries a series of unique and attractive new games with highly recognizable brand names like Circus Circus, Luxor, Monte Carlo, Mandalay Bay and Excalibur. Although prize fulfillment is a new arena for us, we believe this program will be very popular because we will be working directly with Mandalay's experienced marketing and travel personnel, ensuring that winners experience dream vacations." Glenn Schaeffer, Mandalay's President said, "We are very pleased to be working with Scientific Games on this project, which will introduce a new segment of customers to our premier Las Vegas properties. The Lottery promotion could potentially fill 6,000 room nights annually and create core repeat customers for years to come. We expect the new lottery promotion to be a valuable addition to our travel promotions programs."
