It is expected that the new Mexican bingo clubs market will absorb between 75,000 and 100,000 bingo-style gaming machines between now and mid-2008.

The 100 bingo club licences in the country were expanded to 382 in November 2005 by the Mexican government and electronic bingo games were permitted, opening up the market to a number of major investments by IGT, Cadillac Jack and Bally among others.

So far, about 20,000 of the games have been installed.
