SHOWBOAT CASINO HOTEL ---------------------- GAMING INFORMATON ______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SLOTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECTACULAR CAROUSEL ROOM FOR HIGH-LEVEL SLOTS PLAY OPENS AT SHOWBOAT CASINO-HOTEL Atlantic City, NJ --- The Carousel Room, the spectacular new way of playing high-end slot machines, made its debut at Showboat Casino-Hotel. The gaming parlor features Carousel Slots, more than 200 state-of-the-art slot machines with denominations including $1, $5, $25 and $100, plus Showboat's all new $2 and $10 denomination machines. At the centerpiece of the gaming parlor is a beautiful multi-colored horse, measuring 16 feet high. The carousel sculpture symbolizes the festive and exciting atmosphere of the Carousel Room. The Carousel horse, with gold leaf saddle and gold leaf tail, was specially commissioned by Showboat at a cost of $50,000 from the Kern Sculpture Company of New Orleans, which has designed floats for the Mardi Gras Parade, sculptures and icons for the Disney theme parks, MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas and for parks, museums and casinos around the world. It took six artists -- sculptors and craftsmen -- more than two months to create the Showboat carousel from the preliminary sketch into the finished fiberglass statue. To enhance the slot action of Carousel Slots, are 14 linked "quick hit" $1 progressive machines, beginning with a minimum jackpot of $2,500. The new gaming parlor is located in the area formerly called Jake's Betting Parlor, just across Bourbon Street Corridor from the main casino floor. "The new Carousel Room is open and easily accessible, yet private enough to insure the very best playing conditions," said Herbert Wolfe, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Showboat Casino-Hotel. He emphasized that the change-over will not affect the other popular gaming options available there. The Keno and poker parlors and the horse racing simulcasting center remain in the same locations. "The entire parlor will have wider aisles, more comfortable seating, bill changers, its own coin redemption center, a host desk and the impeccable, friendly service that is the hallmark of Showboat Casino-Hotel," Mr. Wolfe said. "Showboat's Carousel Room is for the dedicated player who seeks a higher level of slot action and the ultimate in service and comfort." in addition to the machines in the Carousel Room, Showboat has over 3,000 slot machines offering greater variety and excitment in it's 95,000 square foot of gaming space, the second largest in Atlantic City. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ POKER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BLACKJACK SIMULCAST OTHER GAMES, ETC SPECIAL EVENTS No Information Available At This Time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |SHOWBOAT CASINO HOTEL | | 801 Boardwalk ...........609-343-4000 | | Reservations ..........609-343-4100 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
