GOLDEN GAMING RECEIVES BONNER SPRINGS FINAL ZONING APPROVAL
Proposed casino resort and its premier amenities would generate millions in Wyandotte County
WYANDOTTE COUNTY, Kan. (Dec.18, 2007) – Las Vegas-based gaming and entertainment company, Golden Gaming, Inc., received its final zoning approval from Bonner Springs, following its final approvals and endorsement from the city of Edwardsville last week, and will now submit its proposal for a $662 million casino resort project in Wyandotte County to the Kansas Lottery Commission.
"Edwardsville and Bonner Springs would be home to Golden Gaming's proposed casino resort, on what we believe to be an unmatched location," said Blake L, Sartini, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Golden Gaming. "We selected this 200-acre site immediately adjacent to I-70 and the 110th St. interchange for its accessibility and the potential for maximum guest impressions."
"This approval is great news and puts us one step closer to designing one of my championship level, signature golf courses on this particularly beautiful and well-suited location in Wyandotte County," said legendary professional golfer and Kansas resident, Tom Watson.
Golden Gaming has announced the projected fiscal data detailing the positive economic impact of the casino resort project on Wyandotte County and the state of Kansas. Of the 3.9 million projected annual visitors to the resort, more than 2.2 million will come from outside the greater Kansas City area. Based upon estimated gaming revenue, the development would bring $6.0 million annually to Wyandotte County and an additional $2.2 million to Bonner Springs and Edwardsville. Golden Gaming's proposed casino resort operations would result in gaming revenues to the state of Kansas in an amount of $66.5 million annually. Additionally, the project would create approximately 11,000 construction-related jobs and 8,000 operational jobs and generate more than $183 million in wages annually in ongoing operations.
Newly announced details of the world-class destination casino resort's amenities include a 132,000 square foot gaming floor with 2,500 slots, 80 tables and an 18-table poker room, a 4-star 300-room hotel with convention center, luxury spa, fitness center and a championship golf course designed by Tom Watson.
"Every detail of this project is a priority, and we would be thrilled to create a superior casino resort that facilitates an outstanding guest experience," said Albie Colottto, director of design at Friedmutter Group Inc., a Las Vegas-based design and architecture firm.
In addition to the $662 million initial development investment, a second $252 million phase of development is planned to include additional boutique retail shops, restaurants, a 60-lane bowling center, and a residential component to compliment the golf course.

GOLFING LEGEND TOM WATSON TO DESIGN CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE FOR GOLDEN GAMING’S PROPOSED WYANDOTTE COUNTY CASINO-RESORT
Wyandotte County, Kan. (Nov. 14, 2007) -- Golden Gaming, Inc. and Tom Watson Design announce an agreement for the design of a championship 18-hole golf course that will form the heart of lifestyle and resort amenities at the proposed destination casino-resort. Located on 200 acres immediately south and adjacent to Interstate 70 at 110th St., the project spans Edwardsville and Bonner Springs within Wyandotte County. Golden Gaming's initial investment in the project is estimated at $600 million.
"Our intent from the inception of this process has been to provide the Kansas City area with the finest destination resort project. With this goal in mind, we are thrilled to now be working with Tom and his design team to develop a Tom Watson Signature Golf Course in association with our resort development," said Blake L. Sartini, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Golden Gaming.
"We envision the resort and this unique golf course will draw visitors from throughout the Midwest and beyond."
In addition to the casino, hotel, meeting space and entertainment venues, Golden Gaming's plans call for limited boutique-style retail and residential space to complement the golf course and casino-resort facility. Plans for this portion of the development, including square footage, will be determined based upon the final golf course design, Sartini said.
"As a native of the Kansas City area, I have a special affinity for the rolling hills and prairie-type land that make this part of the country so special," Watson said. "Our design team is looking forward to working with Golden Gaming on this much-anticipated project, and hopes to design a course that will capture the imagination of a wide variety of golf enthusiasts."
Watson's previous design work includes the redesign of Ballybunion in County Kerry, Ireland; the Cassique Golf Course, in Kiawah Island, S.C; The Manor Golf Club in Alpharetta, Ga., The Reunion Golf Club (Independence Course) in Orlando, Fla.; The Conservatory at Hammock Beach in Palm Coast, Fla.; The Links at Spanish Bay at Pebble Beach, Calif. and several courses in Japan. Locally, he designed The National Golf Club in Parkville, Mo., and the Shadow Glen Golf Course in Olathe, Kan.
Golden Gaming, which operates casinos and entertainment venues in Nevada and Colorado, expects the Wyandotte County casino resort to become its flagship property. Its proposal for Wyandotte County is under consideration by the City of Edwardsville, which must file an endorsement of the plan with Kansas gaming officials by Dec. 31.
