BILOXI, Miss., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Isle of Capri
Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISLE) issued the following statement in
response to the Illinois Gaming Board's decision to revoke Emerald
Casino Inc.'s Illinois gaming license. "Nothing in the Gaming
Board's finding today involves Isle of Capri," said Allan Solomon,
executive vice president of Isle of Capri. "We were invited to
participate in a fair and open auction process and, unfortunately,
two years later we find ourselves caught in the middle of issues
that predated our participation in the auction." "Isle of Capri's
financial condition is strong-just as it was at the time of the
Rosemont application. And Isle and its officers have one of the
best regulatory records in the gaming industry." he said. "We are
proud of our financial strength and regulatory history and we
compare favorably with gaming companies operating in other
jurisdictions and in Illinois." CONTACTS: Isle of Capri Casinos,
