We own and operate Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort in Chester, West Virginia; Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie, Pennsylvania; and Scioto Downs in Columbus, Ohio. We consider these three properties, which are located in contiguous states, to be our core assets. Scioto Downs, through its subsidiary RacelineBet, Inc., also operates Racelinebet.com, a national account wagering service that offers online and telephone wagering on horse races as a marketing affiliate of AmericaTab LTD. On July 13, 2009, the governor of Ohio signed an executive order directing the Ohio Lottery to take action to implement, and the Ohio legislature approved a budget bill enabling, video lottery terminals at Ohio's seven horse tracks, including Scioto Downs. The executive order and budget bill are subject to legal challenge, which could prevent or delay our ability to engage in slot gaming or video lottery at Scioto Downs. If the executive order and budget bill are determined to be effective to permit slot gaming and video lottery at Ohio racetracks, we intend, subject to obtaining the required additional debt and equity financing, to expand and construct a slot machine casino at Scioto Downs. See additional information as discussed below. Through May 27, 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary, MTR-Harness, Inc., owned a 50% interest in North Metro Harness Initiative, LLC, which operates Running Aces Harness Park in Anoka County, Minnesota. ...
