Gaming technology developer and distributor Multimedia Games, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGAM) (“Multimedia”) reported today that it plans to pursue all available legal channels in order to recover Multimedia’s charity bingo equipment that was removed yesterday by Alabama officials from a facility in the state. Multimedia plans to continue to operate its games in Alabama in accordance with state law while it is contesting these actions. Multimedia has been operating charity bingo equipment in the Alabama charity market and has been proactive in ensuring that all of its charity bingo equipment complies with the applicable Constitutional amendments and all local regulations which authorize charity bingo.

Multimedia derived approximately $1.95 million of its fiscal 2008 revenue from its operations at the facility where the games were removed, representing less than 1.5% of the Company’s total fiscal 2008 revenue.
