Looks like a lot of people who has played the JOB and other
$1 Progressives games on multiplier days has been backed off all mailers and multipliers as of this month.
Fiesta Rancho mailers
The Horizon Casino no longer has table games. There are now only 50-75 slots scattered throughout the casino.
I predict it will close within the next couple of months. It was a ghost town.

The Yungs' hole is sinking deeper:
Tropicana Entertainment assigns Horizon lease to Columbia Sussex affiliate; amends MontBleu
lease
Las Vegas, NV, May 5, 2009 - Tropicana Entertainment, LLC announced today that it will assign its lease and
all associated obligations for the operation of the Horizon Tahoe Hotel and Casino to Lake Tahoe Realty I,
LLC, a new company owned by an affiliate of Columbia Sussex Corporation.
···
At the same time, Tropicana said
that it has agreed to new lease terms for the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa, also located in South Lake
Tahoe, NV.
The terms for the assignment of the Horizon lease stipulate continuous operation of nonrestricted gaming at
the Horizon Casino. However, it also provides upon transition of the property to Lake Tahoe Realty I that
casino operations be limited to no more than 200 gaming positions. The Horizon lease with The Edgewood
Companies expires on March 31, 2011 with three one year extension options.
In connection with the Horizon assignment, Lake Tahoe Realty I will take over management of the Horizon
Hotel in the next 30 days, including food and beverage operations and the parking garage. At that time, it will
assume responsibility for Horizon Hotel employees, staffing levels, and associated payrolls.
Lake Tahoe Realty I will assume operating control of the Horizon Casino after it or a third party designee has
been licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission. In the interim, Tropicana Entertainment will continue to
operate the casino on a limited basis under a lease with The Edgewood Companies. Horizon will no longer
offer table games and, depending on business levels, may also downsize slot operations from its current level
of 600. The changes will necessitate the elimination of approximately 75 table game and support positions.
"We believe that the Tahoe market offers significant long term opportunities though it is currently challenged by
added supply from cross border competitors," said Tropicana Entertainment CEO Scott C. Butera. "This new
arrangement will allow us to operate a highly successful first class operation at MontBleu during the term of our
lease."
Butera said that the company looks forward to the opportunity to build its customer base at MontBleu, where
the new lease was extended ten years to 2028.
Steven Loyd, Tropicana's Tahoe area General Manager, said, "MontBleu is one of the nicest resorts in the
area. It has a very competitive product, loyal staff and a long and successful history in the community. This is a
challenging time for everyone in the gaming business, but we like the team we have assembled to meet the
challenge."

\And what "greener" pasture is that Don?
It may look like only 50-75 slots due to the vast unused area, but the actual number operating is 200. They are waiting for the gaming license to clear up. Rather depressing to go in their now. Also, it was sad to see one of the last Sigma Derby games around dismantled and sitting in a heap against the wall.

Other casinos who appreciate, have bounceback mailers and comp $1 and up players AND have good games.
