# Amerista Casino Acquires 2 Casinos in Missouri

Amerista Casino announced on Oct. 18 that it was buying two Missouri properties from Station Casino and selling Henderson to them.

The agreement requires Amerista Casino to purchase Station Casino's Kansas City and St. Charles properties for a total cash purchase price of $475 million, while selling Reserve Casino in Henderson, NV, to Station Casino for $70 million.

"Amerista has been actively pursuing strategic growth options that are very suitable for our portfolio," explained Craig H. Nielsen, President and CEO of Amerista Casino. "The Missouri acquisition provides an ideal opportunity for Amerista to further leverage the company's expertise in Riverboat operations. An additional advantage of this transaction is the ability to cross-sell four Midwest properties combined under the Amerista brand with a higher level of efficiency."

St. Charles has 47,000 square feet of gaming space with 2,008 slot machines, 51 table games, and 15 poker tables. A few years ago, Station Casino began building a large-scale new gaming facility on its St. Charles site. Amerista plans to complete the initial stages of the project through design modifications.

At the end of the initial phase of the project, the property will occupy 70,000 square feet of gaming space, totaling 2,300 slot machines and 70 table games. Steak houses, buffets, specialty restaurants, deli/café and entertainment centers, arcades and gift shops are also being considered by Amerista.

Upon completion of these acquisitions, regulatory and other approvals will be required. The acquisition is expected to be completed as soon as Amerista's license is completed by the Missouri Gaming Commission. While no warranty is provided, the company believes the license investigation could be completed before the end of the year 2000.

The sale of reserves must also be subject to regulatory and other approvals. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2000 or the first quarter of 2001.
