NFL Recommends Scientific Games Subsidiary MDI Entertainment to Support Teams
and Lotteries with Launch of Scratch-off Tickets

NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scientific Games' (Nasdaq: SGMS)
wholly-owned subsidiary, MDI Entertainment, will be considered by various
member teams of the National Football League (NFL) to provide expertise
related to lotteries that will be introducing team-themed scratch-off games
starting with the upcoming 2009 season. 

The NFL recently passed a resolution permitting teams to enter into agreements
with lotteries in their marketing territory for lottery scratch-off games and
other promotions.  

Scientific Games, the leading provider of licensed games in the lottery
industry, has extensive experience working with other major professional
sports leagues, including Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball
Association (NBA), and the National Hockey League (NHL), in making team marks
available to lotteries for use on game tickets. 

"We're very pleased with the League's decision to open up the category. Major
professional sports leagues have generated some of the most successful
scratch-off games for their lotteries under our management and we can help
bring the same success to NFL teams and the lotteries they support," said Kyle
Rogers, Executive Vice President and General Manager of MDI Entertainment. "We
think the NFL member clubs will see the value of our experience in all aspects
of developing a lottery game from game design to creative approvals to
fulfilling prizes to second chance drawing management."
