Denis McGlynn, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The second quarter saw several more casinos added to an already crowded market. While it is far too early to understand the long-term impact these new properties will have on our business levels, we believe the quality of our property and amenities will allow us to compete effectively. We are thankful that the State has recognized the challenges we face and has taken steps to improve our competitiveness with the reduction of certain fees and the approval of internet gaming, and look forward to their continued collaboration and partnership as the competitive environment continues to evolve.”

The Company announced yesterday that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.03 per share payable on September 10, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 10, 2012.
