SpanishBitResort,LLCJackpot,NV
Privately held Nevada Limited Liability Company
Developer of affordable hospitality centers planned within destination resort cities throughout the Western Hemisphere
Company focus: – Build sustainable economic stimulus within destination communities
– Eco-conscience, using green building practices and alternative energy resources
– Provide responsibly themed, family oriented recreational resorts and affordable lodging centers
Triad Resorts was founded in January 2005 as an idea to bring year round indoor themed destination resorts to seasonal climate areas
The Company acquired 113 acres of land in Jackpot, Nevada in August 2005
The Company has since completed all required zoning and has secured entitlements for its resort development, to be known as the Spanish Bit Resort & Casino
The Company has received its grading permit from Elko County and has established the project ready to commence site work
The Company has secured 81 additional acres of land adjacent to its 113 acres for employee housing and a phase II development
The Company has assembled a quality construction and development team, and has commenced with design
Project Description – A completely integrated resort designed for year round use – 600 room resort hotel; ability to add fractional unit sales – Full scale casino with slots and table games – Spa, retail, restaurants, entertainment, and outfitters – Indoor events center and indoor water park – 300 units of multifamily employee housing – Phase II commercial, retail, RV, and lodging
Project Projections – Proformas project a 65% sub-market share (Elko County’s gaming win
market growth rate has exceeded 10% per year and now exceeds $300MM) – Local market competition is underinvested and regional demand wants new
as evidenced by Peppermill’s $500MM expansion in West Wendover – Conservative proformas reflect project EBITDA in excess of $50MM within 5
years, with gaming revenues representing approx. 45% of project EBITDA
Border town located on U.S. Highway 93, servicing Southern Idaho, Elko County, and Northwestern Utah
3.5+ million people within 250 miles / 4 hours driving time Market monopolized by $1.15B Ameristar Casinos (stock symbol
“ASCA”) - Cactus Pete’s and Horseshu casinos Jackpot’s demographic compares favorably to the expanding W.
Wendover market that is dominated by Peppermill Casinos which recently completed $500MM in casino expansions
Jackpot has been monopolized, preventing any new gaming development in over 25 years due to collaboration in under-sizing water and sewer delivery infrastructure
Triad Resorts has forced change, as evidenced by Elko County’s cooperation, and local and regional support
ASCA has a market share of 25% of the entire Elko County gaming market and dominates the Jackpot sub-market
ASCA reported Jackpot net revenues in 2007 of $73.2MM and EBITDA of $18.8MM (25.7% margin); their Jackpot gaming win revenues exceeded $75.1MM
ASCA’s Jackpot properties, with 1,019 slots and 35 gaming tables, have a valuation exceeding $150MM at 8X 2007 reported EBITDA
ASCA’s properties have performed remarkably well given they are aged and in dire need of capital improvement (ASCA has announced plans for $16MM in room refurbishment)
Regional growth and demand have left the market starved for a new product due to underinvestment by competition
Despite strong market demand fundamentals no new competing projects are planned in the primary market area
Long and distinguished history in gaming (established in 1954) Market completely locked down by ASCA for past 25 years, with no
meaningful new development Craig Neilsen, founder and former CEO of ASCA, died unexpectedly
in 2006 leaving no one within ASCA with any real affinity to Jackpot and thereby strengthening the opportunity for Triad Resorts
Through three years of hard work, with a presence on the ground in Jackpot, the market has been officially opened up by Triad Resorts for new development
Remaining political and legal opposition from local casino, Barton’s Club 93, has been successfully thwarted giving the project additional momentum to move forward
No real existing political or development hurdles exist
