Press Release: Scientific Games Corporation
November 26, 2002
NEW YORK, NY -- SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION (Nasdaq: SGMS) yesterday 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."
