American Wagering Reports Loss

Commenting on the results, Victor Salerno, CEO/COO and Chairman of the Board of American Wagering said, "The Company has made significant strides towards long-term profitability in the last six months. Leroy's has added six new locations, including two with pari-mutuel racing, and expects to add yet another location in October. The opening of these locations in time for the professional football season should immediately add to the revenue base. The sale of the Mega$ports (ACT) subsidiary and the closure of the keno operations have allowed the Company to devote more attention and resources towards the development of two new business segments focused on the self-service kiosk. These new business segments are expected to be in operation in the fourth quarter. The decrease in revenues experienced during the last six months is not believed to be a trend and is not expected to continue in the future. I believe the positive strides the Company has made in the past six months far outweigh this short-term decline in revenues. Additionally, the short-term decline in revenues has not materially effected our cash position and has not negatively impacted our long-term business plan to grow the revenues by examining additional sports related opportunities in the Nevada and international markets."

Leroy's Horse and Sports Place: Leroy's operates 45 race and/or sports books licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission, giving it the largest number of books in the state.
