When they opened in December, The Isle of Capri had a pretty sorry selection of VP machines. I read somewhere that they recently added a new room and over 225 new machines? Does anybody have any info on this?

I found a 8/5 bonus poker machine but I don't remember to denomination or location. I tried to find it later, but all the machines were in use (and I mean ALL of them).

I'll try to find out again at a later date. Still, 8/5 is better than some of the junk that they had there in the past.

Mississippi remains the bread-and-butter market for Isle of Capri Casinos, bringing in almost a third of net revenues, but the company is spreading its reach nationally and internationally.

Company President Tim Hinkley and other executives discussed developments being built or planned for England, Singapore, Florida, Iowa, Pennsylvania and other places in an earnings conference call Friday morning.

They said they were "fine-tuning the scope and getting the project costs in line" for a second Coast casino at the western end of Harrison County.

The future operations of Isle of Capri Casino on Grand Bahama may have been extended as the company is advertising for four noted positions.

The half-page advertisement in The Freeport News on Monday noted that the gambling property is "looking for suitable candidates to fill the following positions at its Lucaya property: payroll clerk, income auditor, operations analyst and utility porter."

This step by Isle of Capri gave rise to speculation that the Government may have agreed to grant the concessions requested by casino executives.
