Americans Are Serious About Having Fun Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. Surveys Attitudes for National Fun at Work Day BILOXI, Miss., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Despite the pressures of work, kids, deadlines and demanding bosses, Americans are managing to keep a sense of humor and have fun, according to the Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISLE) 2005 Fun Survey. As the workweek gets longer, having fun at work is becoming increasingly important, and the survey shows that Americans are juggling the FUN-damentals of life on the job pretty well. According to the Isle of Capri Casino Fun Survey, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, a worldwide research and consulting firm with more than 65 years of experience, about 60 percent of Americans say at least half or more of their week is fun. Regardless of how they identify "fun" -- whether it's something that puts you in a better mood (36 percent), makes you laugh (35 percent), makes you smile (15 percent) or just makes you want to be more social (10 percent) -- Americans are finding time to make fun a priority in their lives every day. And work is no exception. With National Fun at Work Day just around the corner on April 1, Isle's survey showed almost nine out of ten adults (89 percent) think that work can be fun. That means your neighbor at work is probably having a good time being there. Are you? "Our company is founded on a culture of fun, both internally and as a brand. Our team members and customers expect a fun experience every time they come through our doors," said Timothy M. Hinkley, president and chief operating officer of Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. "Therefore, this focus on being a leader in the business of fun has made us take a 360-degree look at what 'fun' is, what it means to all of us in our personal lives and how important it is during our workday. And, it just seemed like a fun thing to do!" Isle's Fun Survey showed that more than half (53 percent) of respondents say that fun is a greater priority in their lives as compared to fun at work. Men are more likely to think work is more important in a weekly routine than women (45 percent to 37 percent). The survey is based on telephone surveys of 1,030 adults conducted from March 4 through 7 with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
