Alliance Gaming Reports Second Quarter Earnings of $0.24 Per Share; Increases Fiscal Year 2003 Guidance to at Least $0.87 Per Share Bally Gaming and Systems Business Unit Reports 118% Increase In Operating Income on 66% Increase in Unit Sales
LAS VEGAS, Jan 14, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Alliance Gaming
Corporation (NYSE: AGI) today announced earnings for its second fiscal quarter
ending December 31, 2002. Net income (after tax) for the second quarter totaled
$11.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, on revenues of $173.6 million. For
the comparable quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company reported net income
of $12.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, on revenues of $150.6 million,
which period included no Federal income tax expense due to the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits. Assuming Federal income
taxes had been recognized for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, net income
and EPS would have been $8.3 million or $0.18 per share, respectively.
The Company's financial performance was led by its Bally Gaming and Systems
business unit which reported a 67% increase in revenues to $86.6 million driven
by a 66% increase in new units sales, and a 106% increase in EBITDA to $25.5
million, which is a new record for this business unit.
Results for the December 2002 quarter include:
-- Record consolidated revenues of $173.6 million, an increase of 15%
from the $150.6 million in the prior year quarter, led by a 67%
increase in revenues at the Bally Gaming and Systems business unit.
-- Record consolidated EBITDA, of $34.4 million, an increase of 24% from
the $27.7 million in the prior year quarter, led by a 106% increase at
Bally Gaming and Systems.
-- Net income (after tax) of $0.24 per diluted share, an increase of 33%
compared to the prior year quarter after-tax earnings of $0.18 per
share.
Fiscal Year 2003 Guidance Update:
For fiscal 2003, the Company updated its EPS guidance to at least $0.87 on a
fully-taxed basis from its previous estimate of $0.84. The fiscal 2003 earnings
guidance compares to $0.70 on a fully taxed basis in fiscal 2002 (excluding
non-recurring items).
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the
Company's business units are as follows (Dollars in millions):

Cash and Capital Expenditures:
-- As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $54.9 million of cash and
cash equivalents, which included approximately $21.7 million held for
operational purposes in vaults, cages and change banks and
$8.8 million held in jackpot reserve accounts.
-- For the quarter ended December 31, 2002, consolidated capital
expenditures, including costs to produce proprietary games, totaled
$9.4 million as compared to $8.1 million for the prior year quarter.
The current period capital expenditures were driven by the continued
deployment of wide-area progressive and daily-fee games, and the
remodeling costs incurred at the Rainbow Casino.
Other financial highlights:
-- Consolidated net interest expense for the current quarter totaled
$6.1 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior year period,
resulting from substantially lower interest rates on the Company's
term loan facility.
-- As was previously disclosed, beginning July 1, 2002 the Company began
recognizing Federal income tax expense based on 35% of pre-tax
domestic income. Consistent with the prior year, the Company recorded
state income taxes at a rate of approximately 4% of domestic income,
and there was no tax effect from the results of Bally Wulff in
Germany.

Bally Gaming and Systems business unit reported a 67% increase in revenues over
the prior year's quarter. Revenues from sales of gaming devices increased 87%
over the prior year's quarter primarily as a result of a 66% increase in the
number of units sold to 5,430 games and 15% increase in average selling price.
Bally Systems revenues increased 93% over the prior year quarter driven by a 6%
increase in game monitoring units shipped and a significantly higher average
selling price per unit driven by the larger proportion of player tracking and
promotion software revenues, as well as higher levels of recurring hardware and
software support revenues resulting from the larger base of installed systems.
Gaming Operations revenues increased 2% over the prior year's quarter as a
result of a 9% increase in the average installed base of wide-area progressive
(WAP) and daily-fee games deployed, which now total 1,845 and 2,085,
respectively. During the quarter we deployed an additional 1,100 WAP and
daily-fee games, and had returns totaling 950 games, resulting in a net increase
in the installed base of 150 games on a sequential basis as of December 31, 2002
compared to September 30, 2002. The current quarter placements were led by the
initial placements of Monte Carlo with 335 units and an additional 190 Playboy
units.
The Bally Gaming and Systems EBITDA improved 106% to a quarterly record of $25.5
million, compared to $12.4 million in the comparative prior year quarter.
Operating income improved 118% to $21.8 million. The combined gross margin
percentage declined slightly to 54%, which resulted from the revenue mix being
more heavily weighted to new unit sales which have lower gross margin percentage
compared to gaming operations and systems.
Route Operations Revenues Decrease 4%, EBITDA Decreases 12%
The following chart summarizes the combined financial information for the Nevada
route operations and the Louisiana-based Video Services, Inc. operations
(Dollars in millions):

Total Gaming Devices 8,841 9,060 8,946 8,940
For the Nevada route operations, revenue decreased 5% and EBITDA decreased 13%
compared to prior year quarter. The average number of games deployed decreased
3% over the prior year quarter and the average net win per day per gaming
machine decreased slightly to $65.85 from $67.25. The Nevada route operations
were adversely impacted during the quarter by the closure of the Raley's
supermarkets locations in Southern Nevada. Certain of these locations later
re-opened as Food-4-Less stores, where we retained the gaming rights. At
December 31, 2002, the Gamblers Bonus product was available at 415 locations and
was installed in over 4,140 gaming machines or 52% of the Nevada route's total
installed base of gaming machines.
The increase in revenues at VSI is due primarily to a 5% increase in the number
of units deployed, offset by a slight decrease in net win per day per gaming
machine to $54.65 from $55.50 in the prior year quarter.
Casino Operations Revenues Decrease 5%, EBITDA Decreases 20%

Casino in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and the Rail City Casino in Sparks, Nevada

Avg. Number of Table Games 24 24 24 24
For the quarter, the combined casino operations business unit reported a 5%
decrease in revenues and a 20% decrease in EBITDA. Rail City reported a 4%
increase in revenues driven by a 3% increase in the average number of games and
a slight increase in slot win. EBITDA at Rail City increased 3% to $1.4 million.
Revenues and EBITDA at Rainbow declined 8% and 27%, respectively, compared with
the same quarter in fiscal 2002. The Vicksburg gaming market grew approximately
3% in the December 2002 quarter compared to the prior year quarter. During the
quarter Rainbow completed a number of significant remodeling projects including
the addition of a deli and an entertainment lounge. The internal remodeling
projects caused a significant amount of disruption to the casino operations in
the December quarter. The external remodeling project, which began late in
January and is expected to be completed early in the June quarter, is expected
to be less disruptive to the casino operations.

leased games. The wall machine market continues to be adversely impacted by the
overall slowness in the German economy.

Scientific Games Stake Sold at Big Premium to Last Independent Research Valuation
Nov 24, 2003 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- (FinancialWire) MacAndrews &
Forbes Holdings, Inc. and Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) have said
that MacAndrews has completed its acquisition of the entire interest in
Scientific Games held by Cirmatica Gaming, S.A., a subsidiary of Lottomatica
S.p.A. of Italy.
Separately, Lottomatica said the sale price of its Series B preferred stock
representing approximately 24% of the equity and voting power of Scientific
Games on an as-converted basis was $199 million. The interest by a MacAndrews &
Forbes affiliate, is now in the form of Series A and Series B preferred stock.
With 60.12 million shares outstanding, a 24% equity stake based on this number,
without regard for how the preferred stock may impact the outstanding shares,
would equal a valuation of just under $800 million.
On Friday, Scientific Games closed at a market capitalization of $903.57
million, or $15.03 per share, close to its 52 week high of $15.33.
Lottomatica had previously announced that the deal would be in the neighborhood
of $194 million. It bought the stake in September 2000 for $100 million, and was
valued on its books at $E130 million. At current dilution, 24% of the company
would represent a share price of approximately $13.33 per share.
"Lottomatica sold its stake in Scientific Games as it was not a strategic
investment, and because we considered the offer from MacAndrews & Forbes
Holdings to be satisfactory and in line with our expectations," Lottomatica CEO
Rosario Bifulco said.
Scientific Games was enrolled in Investrend Research's unique and pioneering
professional analyst program, which facilitates independent analysts to provide
financial coverage for shareholders and investors in companies that otherwise
would have little or no analyst following.
During the Investrend Research coverage, which began at $5.50 on November, 26,
2001, when Scientific Games was listed on the American Stock Exchange, the
company immediately rose to $7, and then powered through its $8.50 target in
just over a month, but subsequently nose-dived in mid-January, 2002, when Lehman
Brothers (NYSE: LEH) issued a conflicting, higher valuation that the market did
not then accept. The Investrend Research coverage, however, was not updated, and
became stale at the beginning of this year.
The Investrend Research program is the largest in the world and includes a
number of safeguards to reduce or eliminate conflict. These systems, including

Century Casinos Announces Plans for Casino in Central City, Colorado
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct 13, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Century Casinos, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNTY) announced today that it has signed an
agreement with Tollgate Venture LLC to develop and operate a casino and hotel in
Central City, Colorado. The proposed $40.0 million development includes a 60,000
square foot casino and back of house with 625 slot machines, six table games, 35
hotel rooms, retail, food and beverage amenities and a 500-space on-site covered
parking garage. The Company's contribution to the proposed project includes an
initial cash capital contribution of $3.5 million in return for a controlling
65% interest. The Company's partner, Tollgate Venture LLC, will contribute three
existing non-operating casino buildings, land and land options. Additionally, a
subsidiary of the Company entered into a Casino Services Agreement to manage the
property. Closing of the agreement and completion of the project is subject to
various conditions and approvals, including, but not limited to securing
acceptable financing, satisfactory environmental studies, licensing by the
Colorado Division of Gaming, Century Casinos' Board approval and other due
diligence. Casino licenses in Colorado are not limited in number by state gaming
laws and are primarily subject to successful background investigations by the
Colorado Division of Gaming. Century currently is licensed in Colorado for
gaming at Womacks Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek.
On November 20, 2004, the city of Central City is expected to open to the public
the new $45.2 million four lane highway (Central City Parkway) that the Company
believes will offer a safer and faster alternative route from the greater Denver
area to Central City and Black Hawk, Colorado. The Central City Parkway is an
entirely new construction and will connect to I-70, the main East/West
interstate highway in Colorado, directly to Central City and then on to Black
Hawk. Central City is a prime location for the Company's latest venture because
of the new parkway and because of the fact that the parkway goes through Central
City before going through Blackhawk. All traffic must go directly past the
casino's main entrance and parking structure.
Central City and Black Hawk are historical mining towns situated adjacent to
each other and located in the Rocky Mountains approximately 35 miles west of
Denver. The first casinos opened in both cities in 1991. The Central City
Parkway will enter the casino cities first at Central City. Currently the
alternative route, which is only a two lane highway and a more treacherous drive
than the new Central City Parkway, enters these cities first at Black Hawk.
"We are delighted with the prospects of opening a casino in Central City. The
location of the casino, hotel, 500 car on-site covered parking garage and the
new Central City Parkway, will be invaluable towards our goal of further
expansion for Century Casinos," said Chairman and CEO Erwin Haitzmann.

Der alte Liebling MGAM kriegt richtig eins auf die Mütze, mal sehen wieweit der Verfall geht.
Da muss schon der 3-Jahreschart herhalten um eine Unterstützung bei 9,50 auszumachen.
Dann sollte vorerst der Abverkauf enden.
