AUSTIN, Texas -- Multimedia Games, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGAM) announced today that it has been selected by Apuestas Internacionales S.A. de C.V. ("Apuestas"), a subsidiary of Grupo Televisa, S.A.

Apuestas was granted a permit by the Ministry of the Interior of Mexico to open 65 facilities throughout Mexico to operate bingo and sports books.

Pursuant to the agreement, Multimedia Games ("Multimedia") will initially train Apuestas personnel in traditional bingo games, and provide all of the electronic bingo units for the first facility, which is expected to open during the second quarter of 2006.
