SANDS HOTEL & CASINO -------------------- GAMING INFORMATON ______________________________________________________________________________ MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ WOMAN WINS LARGEST CARIBBEAN STUD POKER JACKPOT Atlantic City, NJ --- A royal flush in diamonds (Ace\King\Queen\Jack\Ten) produced this city's largest Caribbean Stud Poker Jackpot on Friday, March 15, 1996. A Monmouth County, New Jersey resident won the $221,198 progressive game jackpot. The total was paid immediately in full, not in yearly payments. After making a satndard wager on a Caribbean Stud Poker game, the player is allowed to wager $1 on the progressive Feature Bet. Regardless of the dealer's hand, if a player has a qualifying hand, the player wins a portion or all of the progressive total. Smaller payouts are made for a Flush, Full House, and Four of a Kind. A Straight Flush pays 10% of the jackpot, while a Royal Flush captures the entire meter. The sands offers six Caribbean Stud Poker Tables, including smoking and non-smoking options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW OFFERS MAKES SANDS BLACKJACK THE HOTTEST IN TOWN! Atlantic City, NJ --- The Sands has announced new opportunities for blackjack players to enjoy the game to the fullest. While other places allow players to split same value cards one time, the Sands allows a second split. For example: get two 8's, split them; then if the next card is also an 8, another split can take place. This second split is even allowed on Aces! And this rule can be found on EVERY blackjack table in the building. The Sands has a game for every player. There's Guaranteed $5 blackjack, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Plus, table limits on all tables have been increased for premium players. For example: tables where the wagering range was $10 - $500 are now $10 - $1000. Similar increases have occured on higher value tables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SANDS HOTEL & CASINO CELEBRATES THE ULTIMATE IN $1 SLOTS Atlantic City, NJ --- The Sands Hotel & Casino introduces the ultimate $1 slot place to play.

The hugely successful Simulcast area at the Sand's Hotel & Casino will be moving...but not far. To better accomodate our "bettors", the Simulcast area will be temporarily re-located to the back of the Poker area on the second level of the casino. A new, permanent home is being constructed for the first level casino. This move is necessary so that the present space can be renovated to accomodate the newest feature at the Sands, a totally themed, new $1 and $5 slot area. This new area will be opening by mid-March. The popularity of the non-smoking area on the second level casino was so overwhelming, dollar slot players wanted to breathe easy and enjoy a smoke-free getaway. "When our customers speak, we listen," states Brad Stone, President, Sands Hotel & Casino. "To give our customers what they want, the new slot area will be totally enhanced for our players. Not only will the area contain the latest in slot machines, but complimentary beverages and hors d'oeuvres will be served plus other amenities," continues Stone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |SANDS HOTEL CASINO | | S Indiana at Brighton ...609-441-4000 | | Box Office ............609-441-4137 | | Hotel Rooms ...........609-441-4444 | | Restaurants ...........609-441-4000 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
