SANDS CASINO UPDATE

Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem submitted an application today to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board which, if approved, would allow the property to add approximately 80 table games to its existing casino floor.

In its application, the casino said it plans to offer a variety of table games, including blackjack, craps, roulette, poker and baccarat. On Thursday, Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Chairman Gregory C. Fajt said the games could be up and running in the state as early as the Fourth of July.

"When the first card is dealt, Sands Bethlehem instantly becomes the most convenient gaming location for millions of New York City and northern New Jersey residents," says Robert DeSalvio, president of Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem. "The excitement of table games and slot machines, combined with great live entertainment and a wide range of dining options, including two Emeril Lagasse restaurants, will further Sands Bethlehem's reputation as one of the region's premier entertainment destinations."

Las Vegas Sands President Michael Leven said the addition of table games will contribute to greater profitability, enable the property to serve a broader customer set and enhance other revenues.
