NEW YORK, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scientific Games (Nasdaq:
SGMS) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Autotote Enterprises, Inc.
has signed a four-year deal to supply race book venue management services
to the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana for the Paragon Casino Resort in
Marksville, Louisiana. The Paragon Casino Resort has more than 2,000 slot
machines, 46 table games and poker. The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana is
the owner and operator of the Central Louisiana destination resort and
convention, which opened in 1994.
"We are privileged to add the Paragon Casino Resort to our growing
network of North American race books. Given the strong horse racing
tradition in Louisiana and neighboring areas, the addition of pari-mutuel
racing to complement their broad array of gaming and entertainment venues
already in place will bring added revenues and excitement for years to
come," said Rick Pullman, President of Autotote Enterprises.
"Scientific Games has an excellent reputation among tribal race book
operators and we are looking forward to this exciting new addition to our
casino offerings," said Linda Bordelon, Vice President of Public Relations.
"Clearly their successful record with the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, as
well as the Ho-Chunk and Oneida Nations in Wisconsin, gives us confidence
that they will do a great job supporting our race book as well."
