BATTLE CREEK, Mich., July 29 /PRNewswire/ — The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi today announced that construction of FireKeepers casino near Battle Creek is making significant progress, with an opening planned for the summer of 2009. Construction of the $300 million casino, located on Michigan Avenue near Exit 104 of Interstate 94, began on May 7, 2008, and is moving forward according to schedule.
“The Tribe is very pleased with the progress that we are making in the construction of FireKeepers Casino,” said Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Tribal Chairperson, Laura Spurr. “We have waited a long time to bring economic development and jobs to not only tribal members but also to the greater Calhoun County region.”
The 236,000 square-foot casino will create approximately 2,200 jobs - 700 construction and 1,500 permanent jobs, in addition to spin off jobs.
When completed, FireKeepers casino will feature Las Vegas-type gaming: 2,500 slot machines, 90 table games, and 20 poker tables. FireKeepers will have five restaurants, including a 70-seat fine dining signature restaurant, a 300-seat buffet, and a 150-seat 24- hour coffee shop. The casino will have an attached and enclosed 2,078-space parking garage.
“FireKeepers casino will be an outstanding venue for gaming patrons located halfway between Detroit and Chicago, along the I-94 corridor,” said casino General Manager R. Bruce McKee. McKee, who recently joined the project, brings extensive gaming experience including ten years at Trump Hotels and casino Resorts, Inc. “We look forward to offering a first class entertainment experience and to bringing new and exciting dining options to the greater Battle Creek region,” added McKee.
Construction of FireKeepers is being led by Clark Construction Company. The Skillman Corporation is serving as the Tribe’s owner representative during the construction process and the architect is Perez APC.
Despite several summer storms, construction is on track for a summer 2009 opening. Crews have excavated the site, installed site utilities, started work on the concrete foundation work for the parking ramp, and erected 25 percent of the structural steel. The steel structure is scheduled for completion in September. Work will begin soon on the exterior wall framing.
Other activities will include hiring new employees and developing relationships with vendors and suppliers. FireKeepers casino plans to hire the majority of its permanent casino positions early next year.
“FireKeepers casino will be seeking to hire employees who are outgoing, friendly and customer service oriented,” said McKee. “The casino will also be looking for local vendors to provide food and beverages, meats, produce, bakery goods, and paper products. We will be exploring relationships with businesses.”
The general timeline for employment and vendor and supplier opportunities is:
— January 2009: Job fairs and major recruiting for casino jobs
— March/April 2009: Dealer training
— March 2009: Vendor and supplier job fairs

At this time, those interested in management positions can email their resumes to McKee at . Announcements will be made with additional information in the future.
FireKeepers casino is owned by the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi and managed by Gaming Entertainment (Michigan), L.L.C., a joint venture between Full House Resorts , which develops, manages, and invests in gaming related opportunities, and RAM Entertainment, L.L.C., a privately owned investment company.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., July 28 /PRNewswire/ — After 100 days in the field, AC Coin & Slot(R) is pleased to announce the continuing success of three of their most anticipated bonusing games of 2008: Big Game Show Gold Edition Bonus(TM); Chef’s Daily Special(TM); and When in Rome(TM). At a time when casino operators are facing new challenges, AC Coin & Slot has succeeded in producing three unique bonusing games entertaining enough to keep slot enthusiasts returning again and again to their favorite casinos.
Operators have become increasingly proactive in refreshing their slot floors to ensure a mix of the most popular and proven slots available. As a result, the average lifespan of new slot machines on casino slot floors has diminished. It is with this high demand for performance and player appeal in mind that AC Coin & Slot introduced its spring series of proprietary bonusing games-and more than 100 days later, they continue to double and triple house averages in nearly all installed locations.
One key to the success of these games has been the uniqueness of their higher-line pay tables, ranging from the Triple Star(R), five-reel, 25-line pay table of Big Game Show Gold Edition Bonus to the Double Diamond(R), five-reel, 30-line pay tables of Chef’s Daily Special and When in Rome. AC Coin & Slot’s move away from the more traditional 9-line pay table in favor of these more competitive tables has proven successful in several of their games and can be seen as an indicator of an industry-wide trend.
“In the current market, 25- and 30-line pay tables really appeal to players, giving them more ways to win and the opportunity to stretch their dollars across more lines for a higher return,” said Jerry Seelig, AC Coin & Slot Executive Vice President and General Manager.”
Big Game Show Gold Edition Bonus boasts a widely-recognizable top box based upon its equally-successful predecessor, Big Game Show Bonus(R). This is combined with an exciting secondary bonus, offering 5x and 10x multipliers not found in the original Big Game Show Bonus. Chef’s Daily Special and When in Rome boast comparable secondary bonus events, offering varying multipliers of between 2x and 10x. All three games are also max configurable and can be adjusted to accept maximum bets of anywhere between 25 and 500 coins.
“In today’s competitive marketplace, operators cannot afford to wait for slot games to gain popularity; they require games with instant appeal that can generate instant success and keep players satisfied,” said Seelig. “We know a winner when we see one, and performing as they are, each program with approximately 150 machines in the field and another 150 on order, these games certainly stand as winners for casino operators and an entertainment experience that players are thoroughly enjoying.”
Big Game Show Gold Edition Bonus, Chef’s Daily Special, and When in Rome are currently released to jurisdictions across North America and have enjoyed rapid acceptance in both local and resort destinations. These three games, in addition to the long-anticipated Super Bankroll Bonus(TM) six-station communal game and two Slingo Bonus Deluxe(TM) games — one a stand-alone bonusing game and the other a three-station community-style game — stand as cornerstones of the AC Coin & Slot spring/summer lineup.
AC Coin & Slot will continue to fulfill placement requests for all aforementioned games and will bring 15 additional proprietary bonusing games to market before year-end — marking the most products released in any single year throughout the company’s 30-year history. In this way, AC Coin & Slot will accommodate the industry’s current need for exciting new games and a consistently diversified slot mix.

In business since 1978, AC Coin & Slot(R) is the largest slot manufacturer and diversified casino supply company in the Atlantic City/Philadelphia region and one of the largest privately-owned companies of its kind in the world.

OLATHE, Kan., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Butler National Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: BUKS) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Butler National Service Corporation, a recognized provider of professional management services in the gaming industry, announce the Kansas Supreme Court ruling affirming the constitutionality of the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act. (KELA)
The Court, in a 22-page unanimous opinion, ruled that “while the state is not the exclusive owner and operator of all aspects of the lottery enterprise under KELA, the state owns and operates the enterprise itself and owns and operates key elements of the lottery,” thus complying with 1986 constitutional amendments.
The Court also ruled that several key provisions in KELA bring the act into compliance with the 1986 amendments, which is the legislation authorizing horse and dog racing and the state-owned and operated lottery. “The payment of gaming revenues directly to the state, the ownership by the state of software licenses, the central monitoring of electronic games, and the authority to enter into management contracts and to supervise the managers constitute substantial indicia of ownership by the state and concomitant operation,” the Court ruled.
Clark D. Stewart, President and CEO of Butler National said, “This is another significant advancement toward the ultimate step of developing tourism and economic benefits to Kansas through the destination casino facilities. The Court’s decision reinforces the will of the people of Kansas.”
Butler National is proposing to manage the Boot Hill casino and Resort, a destination casino and resort located in Dodge City within the Southwest Gaming Zone. Butler National plans to present its proposal to the Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board in Dodge City on July 31, 2008. The Management Contract does not become effective until approved by the Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board and the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission. If selected by the Review Board, the approval may be completed between October and December 2008.
The Boot Hill casino and Resort plan includes 800 slot machines, 20 table games, a 124-room luxury hotel, a spa, an Olympic size swimming pool, restaurants, and a 500-seat conference center/entertainment venue implemented in a phased approach. The estimated project cost is $92.9 million.
“With the State Supreme Court ruling, we are confident Butler National Service Corporation is the best applicant to manage a destination casino known as the Boot Hill casino and Resort in the Southwest Gaming Zone. We believe Butler National is positioned to be the applicant selected by the Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board,” concluded Mr. Stewart.

WASHINGTON, June 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — An amendment to develop new regulations to enforce the Unlawful Internet gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) was defeated today in a tie vote in the House Committee on Financial Services. The amendment to the Payments System Protection Act, H.R. 5767, offered by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), would have required the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve System, in consultation with the Attorney General, to develop new regulations to implement UIGEA that are less burdensome for U.S. financial services companies.
“It is disappointing that the Republicans would turn their back on the credit unions and banks at a time when the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve says the proposed rules to enforce UIGEA are unworkable,” said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesperson for the Safe and Secure Internet gambling Initiative. “Given the freedom of the Internet, it is foolhardy to impose the current regulations and force U.S. financial service companies to police for illegal activity. Rather than prohibit an activity millions of Americans enjoy to do in their homes, just as they can do in a casino, Congress should create a regulatory framework for Internet gambling as a way to protect consumers and collect billions in much-needed federal revenue that is currently lost in an underground, uncontrolled marketplace.”
The King amendment responded to concerns raised by U.S. financial services companies about the burden and ambiguity in the proposed rules to implement UIGEA. The updated bill would have required federal regulators to adopt formal rulemaking processes to define unlawful Internet gambling activities, to create a list of unlawful Internet gambling businesses, and to conduct an economic impact study on the costs for compliance. The bill would have also forced the agencies to take into consideration the Paperwork Reduction Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act, current laws the proposed rules to enforce UIGEA failed to address.
Rep. Frank stated before the Committee on Financial Services that Congress is putting the U.S. financial services industry at risk by not clarifying the regulations to enforce UIGEA and defining unlawful Internet gambling activities. “Hijacking the financial payment system at a time when it is under major stress and giving them the job of carrying out an unclear mandate doesn’t make sense.”
Representatives of the U.S. financial services industry, including the Chamber of Commerce, The Financial Services Roundtable, Credit Union National Association, and National Association of Federal Credit Unions, pledged their support for the Payments System Protection Act and King amendment in letters to Rep. Frank and members of the Committee on Financial Services.
“I wish to be clear that we do not support the notion that financial services companies should be ‘deputized’ to police gambling activity in any form or function,” wrote Mr. Steve Barlett, president and CEO of The Financial Services Roundtable. “While we would support the passage of H.R. 5767 as introduced, I agree that the King Amendment makes essential improvements to a deeply flawed law and therefore support its inclusion.”
Concerns about the impact of UIGEA were also raised by the Americans for Tax Reform (ATF) and Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) in a letter to members of the Committee on Financial Services, which said that “if implemented as proposed in current regulations, UIGEA would have a number of serious, negative consequences for the nation’s economy.”
Concerns about the proposed rules to implement UIGEA were previously raised at a congressional hearing on April 2, 2008 (”Proposed UIGEA Regulations: Burden without Benefit?”) and in hundreds of comments submitted to the Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve System. Representatives of the Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve System acknowledged at the hearing the challenges U.S. financial institutions will face in attempting to comply with UIGEA.
Last year, Rep. Frank introduced the Internet gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (H.R. 2046) that would establish a regulatory and enforcement framework for licensed gambling operators to accept bets and wagers from individuals in the U.S. It includes a number of built-in consumer protections, including safeguards against compulsive and underage gambling, money laundering, fraud and identity theft. States would also have the right to control what, if any, level of Internet gambling is permissible within their borders and could apply additional taxes and restrictions.
A companion piece of legislation to the Frank bill introduced by Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), the Internet gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act of 2008 (H.R. 5523), would ensure the collection of taxes on regulated Internet gambling activities. According to a tax revenue analysis prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers, taxation of regulated Internet gambling is expected to generate between $8.7 billion to $42.8 billion in federal revenues over its first 10 years.
