NEWTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/28/07 -- Casino City Press today announced the release of the 2007-2008 edition of the "Indian Gaming Industry Report" -- the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of Indian gaming available -- authored by Dr. Alan P. Meister, an economist with Analysis Group, Inc., who has done extensive research and analysis on Indian gaming issues.

In preparing the Report, now in its sixth edition, Dr. Meister received the highest degree of participation to date from tribes, Indian gaming facilities, and regulatory agencies. The Report provides calendar year 2006 nationwide statistics and state-by-state statistics (the latter not available anywhere else) including gaming and non-gaming revenue, number of facilities, tribes, gaming machines, table games, market summaries, trends, and the fiscal impact of Indian gaming, including revenue sharing with state and local governments.

The Report also includes comparisons across states, a historical perspective on Indian gaming, an examination of the reasons for its continued strong and steady growth, comparisons to commercial casinos and racinos, an economic impact analysis examining Indian gaming's contribution to the U.S. economy, a detailed breakdown of its fiscal benefits, and an analysis of its future.

Some key findings:

--  Even though Indian gaming revenue grew at a robust pace of 11% in
    2006, the growth rate was down from prior years (15% in 2004 and 2005).
--  Class II gaming revenue grew twice as fast as Class III gaming
    revenue, while Class III gaming still generated the lion's share of
    revenue.
--  The top 2 states generated approximately 40% of total gaming revenue
    at Indian gaming facilities.
--  Nebraska, followed closely by Alaska, led the other Indian gaming
    states in revenue growth.
--  Indian gaming continued to make significant contributions to the U.S.
    economy in terms of output, jobs, and wages.
    

"Casino City's Indian Gaming Industry Report" is relied upon by the gaming industry, other related industries, government/regulatory agencies, and the investment community, and is frequently cited by the press.

As in previous years, this study continues to be the product of independent academic research and neither Dr. Meister nor Analysis Group was commissioned to do the study.
