Ameristar Casinos Overview

At Ameristar, we offer a total entertainment experience encompassing high-quality products, exciting casino action, and outstanding dining, lodging and entertainment options. In all we do, the key word is "entertainment." We want our guests to play casino games as the enjoyable pastime they are meant to be. For that reason, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming in the following ways:

Proactively creating awareness about problem gambling among our Team Members through a comprehensive training program;

Participating in programs that provide employee and public awareness about underage gambling;

Making information about responsible gaming available through signage and print materials;

Offering self-restriction programs;

Providing confidential counseling assistance for Team Members through our Employee Assistance Program;

Participating in national, industry-wide awareness and education programs.

Ameristar also provides significant financial support to various organizations that are dedicated to researching and treating problem gambling. This includes the National Center for Responsible Gaming as well as many state and local organizations.

At Ameristar Casinos we are dedicated to generating economic development in the cities in which we operate. We offer our Team Members, not just rewarding careers, but the chance to be good corporate citizens through charitable giving and volunteerism.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

At Ameristar, we help to create & support vibrant economies in the markets where we operate. Because they are popular entertainment destinations, our properties attract local visitors, as well as regional ones from miles away. We make significant capital investments to build high-quality properties, which we then expand and enhance through ongoing capital expenditures. We encourage local growth by both hiring Team Members and doing business with area vendors from which we purchase services and goods. Ameristar is committed to buying locally – a significant percentage of our purchases are made from vendors within a 100-mile radius of our casinos.

Lastly, we help the communities in which we operate by paying state and local taxes, often at an effective tax rate that's higher than that of most businesses. These payments support improvements to community infrastructure in the form of roads, community centers and schools.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP

At Ameristar, we proudly support the communities where we live and work through our charitable giving program called Ameristar Cares. This three-part effort includes financial contributions to nonprofit organizations, our annual Team Member Workplace Giving Campaign and Team Member volunteerism.

During 2010, the company and its Team Members donated more than $6.7 million to charitable organizations in the markets where we do business. Our Team Members are active volunteers in their hometowns, each year giving hundreds of hours of their time for worthy causes such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Great Strides Walks, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Habitat for Humanity and many local organizations.

Our social responsibility includes comprehensive and long-standing programs to address underage and compulsive gambling, as well as responsible alcohol consumption.
