GamingIndustryStocks.com Reviews Revenue Building Strategies from Harrah's
Entertainment, Boyd Gaming, Shuffle Master, and MGN Technologies
POINT ROBERTS, WA, April 6th, 2006 - www.GamingIndustryStocks.com (GIS) an investor
and industry news portal for the gaming sector, presents a feature entitled Casino
Strategies for Growth, a review on revenue building strategies within the casino and
entertainment industry. Companies in this arena are looking both domestically and
internationally for continued growth through various channels such as new and
existing property development, consolidation strategies as well as technology and
programs to improve the overall gaming experience. Casino and entertainment
companies Boyd Gaming, Harrah's Entertainment, and gaming technology firms MGN
Technologies and Shuffle Master look to a combination of revenue generating
strategies to reach their growth expectations.
Worldwide casino gaming revenues are expected to reach over $100 billion in 2009,
according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers. A key driver of growth for many
casinos entails the continued development of new and existing properties in both
domestic and foreign markets. Boyd Gaming's (NYSE: BYD), Rob Stillwell, Vice
President Corporate Communications explains, "At any given time we are expanding our
existing product portfolio, and building completely brand new products."

Harrah\'s Entertainment Inc. looks to the identification and entrance into new
markets as a key component of their growth strategy according to spokesman David
Strow, "Harrah's is primarily internationally focused which they see representing
the largest growth channel. Currently Harrah's is pursuing bids in countries such as
the Bahamas, Spain, Slovenia, with our largest proposal planned for Singapore."

Increasing revenue from existing customers and growing this base to new levels is a
priority among many casinos. Mark Jensen, CEO of MGN Technologies (OTCBB: MGNLF)
describes their efforts to enable new directions for casinos, "We offer a turnkey
online marketing program to land-based casinos to generate new customers and retain
existing customers. We use branded online and mobile games as the draw for players.
We brand online and mobile casino games such as slots and poker with the casino's
brand and build an online marketing strategy around the new gaming site."

Looking towards innovation in alternative content delivery systems as a driver to
further growth is Shuffle Master Inc. (NASDAQ: SHFL), "In the future we feel
wireless gaming will be a very important growth driver as an alternative content
delivery system providing both the casino and player with benefits that are not
currently available on a live game," explains Kirsten Clark, Shuffle Master's
Director of Marketing.
