Press Release: Golden Tavern Group Launches New Golden Rewards
Benefits in Northern Nevada

Available at Sierra Gold, Sparky's Sports Bar & Grill, Sierra
Junction and Gold Bar Casino Beginning April 1

Las Vegas/Reno, Nev., March 31, 2009 - Golden Tavern Group brings
its new Golden Rewards benefits to Northern Nevada locations -
Sierra Gold, Sparky's Sports Bar & Grill, Sierra Junction and
Gold Bar Casino - beginning Wednesday, April 1. The largest
tavern operator in Nevada will now offer a tiered rewards program
for its Golden Jackpot bonus system. Eligible carded players
will earn free play based on their club tier when they hit a
royal flush, card of the week and specific non-poker jackpots.

Golden Jackpot, Golden Gaming's proprietary patent-pending bonus
system has been upgraded. Now when players hit a royal flush,
card of the week and specific non-poker jackpots, every eligible
carded player in that tavern will be rewarded free play based on
their club tier within the Golden Rewards players club.

The 24 Karat level player (the highest tier level), will now
receive $50 for a royal flush, $25 for a 4-of-a-kind card of the
week and $25 for a non-poker jackpot hit by anyone in the tavern
while they are playing.

The Gold level player will now receive $25 for a royal flush, $20
for a 4-of-a-kind card of the week and $20 for a non-poker
jackpot hit by anyone in the tavern while they are playing.

The Silver level player will now receive $20 for a royal flush,
$10 for a 4-of-a-kind card of the week and $10 for a non-poker
jackpot hit by anyone in the tavern while they are playing.

Additional benefits such as golf and spa packages, free play
offers and complimentary benefits have been added to each level
of Golden Rewards.

"The new Golden Rewards benefits and the Golden Jackpot tiered
rewards program serves as the ultimate method to reward and
incentivize players," said Christopher Abraham, vice president of
marketing for Golden Gaming. "Our revolutionary tavern rewards
program continues to raise the bar within our industry. We are
happy to offer these great additions for our valued players."

Players can achieve membership levels by playing their Golden
Rewards card at any Sierra Gold, Sparky's, Sierra Junction or
Gold Bar taverns. All Golden Rewards membership benefits include
exclusive direct mail offers, complimentary dollars for meals and
instant bonus cash. The Silver, Gold and 24 Karat packages also
include free tickets for events. Every $1 guest play earns one
point, 10,000 points equal $5 and tier is based on earned points
only over the previous 90 day period.
