"Second quarter results for our Black Hawk operations were adversely effected by start up costs at Golden Gulch Casino and a late March snowstorm in Colorado and the threat of terrorist attacks in the Miami area in January and February slowed customer traffic on the Casino Princesa," said Jerry Baum, CEO and President of Concorde Gaming. Mr. Baum further stated that "With the opening of the Golden Gulch Casino, with 210 gaming devices, we expect to be able to take advantage of the operational efficiencies from owning and operating two casinos in Black Hawk."

Concorde Gaming owns and operates three gaming properties with over 750 gaming devices in operation. The Company operates two limited stakes gaming properties, the Golden Gates Casino and Golden Gulch Casino, both in Black Hawk, Colorado, and a day-cruise gaming property, the Casino Princesa based out of Miami, Florida. The Company's corporate offices are located in Rapid City, South Dakota.
