VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Gaming Technology, Inc. (AGTI) announces that a Letter of Intent has been executed with SEGA Gaming Technology, Inc. to manufacture and test a new electronic Bingo game called "SUPER BINGO" (a fast action Class II Speed Bingo) with the first product available for testing by July 1, 1996.

"SUPER BINGO" is a high stakes electronic speed bingo unit capable of playing up to 300 cards simultaneously in 60 second intervals. Each "SUPER BINGO" will be available in various styles capable of accommodating from 4 to 50 stations. Each location will be custom designed.

World-wide marketing of "SUPER BINGO" will attract traditional bingo players as well as appealing to high stakes participants. A player can bet any number of cards up to 300. "SUPER BINGO" is a modular compact unit, allowing efficient use of floor space. The system is capable of being networked throughout gaming halls (casinos, cruise ships), a city or even a country (dependent upon regulatory approvals), thus facilitating major progressive jackpots.

SEGA's and AGTI's market research suggests that based upon average usage of 44% (low of 29%, high of 50%) worldwide net revenues could exceed $38 million annually.
