Two areas of development:
Development and Management Services: Indian and Other Gaming
Opportunity: Revenue and Earnings Growth
Challenge:  Development Projects have long lead time
Acquisition and Operation: Commercial Casinos
Opportunity: 
Quickly accretive to earnings
Operations benefit from our experience
Challenge: 
Competition for good properties
The mix of limited term management contracts and direct ownership
spreads risk and allows continuing operations to fund development.

Situation Overview
Situation Overview
Close Proximity to Chicago and Detroit in addition to other major Michigan metropolitan markets
Closest casino for over a million Michigan Residents
Diverse and strong local economy
Numerous attractions and strong visitation trends
Proposed site is irreplaceable, and provides the Tribe with a competitive advantage vis-ŕ-vis existing
operators and possible new entrants
Assembling a comparable site in such a location likely to be extraordinarily challenging & time
consuming
Size of site provides Tribe with significant development/growth pipeline
Excellent road access to all major highways, especially I-94 and I-69
The Tribe’s casino will be a major competitor to the existing Native American casino operators
Most other Native American casinos are located in the Northern part of the state
Generally dated facilities offering less than 2,000 gaming positions
Given the superior location of the Project, the developmental
potential of the site and the superior relative position of the
Project, we believe the Company can develop a world class
property.
