Why Rockingham Park Makes Sense • Long History of Gaming at the Rock • First in the nation lottery • Existing racetrack • Charity gaming • Location, Location, Location • New Hampshire/Massachusetts border • Approximately 70% of customers will come from Massachusetts • Excellent existing infrastructure • The community wants it

  18. Why Millennium Makes Sense • Solid owner/operator experience • Our ability to finance this $450 million investment • We can be up and running quickly • Operator/owner already vetted by NH AG’s office for pari-mutuel licensing purposes • Engineering and design work already in process • Facilities generating revenue in next Biennium

  19. Our Model—What it is not… • It is not an unproven model • 38 states have some sort of legalized gaming (excluding pari-mutuel, charitable and lotteries) and 12 of those are “racino” models • It is not a panacea to all the State’s budget problems • The State must continue to make difficult decisions relative to resource allocation • Gaming is A revenue source, not THE revenue source • It is not another tax on the citizens of NH • Every gaming revenue dollar the State receives is a dollar received without the need for a new or increased tax or fee

  20. Our Model—What it is…. • $450 million capital investment • Phase I facility of 3,000 video lottery terminals (VLT’s); Phase II facility of 5,000 video lottery terminals • Enhanced live horseracing and charity table games • Based on The Meadows racino

Our Model—What it is… • An economic development and enhanced tourism engine • $450 million investment budget equals approximately 1,100 full time equivalent jobs during construction • Approximately 1,000 high quality permanent, family-sustaining jobs with good and meaningful career opportunities • Will inspire a variety of high quality, non-gaming amenity developments • Non-weather dependant form of tourism “We have seen many changes over the past 25 years in Washington County and southwestern Pennsylvania but our commitment to our residents and quality of life has not changed. Gaming at The Meadows is not only benefitting the race track and racing; it is strengthening our local businesses, complementing our destination retail efforts and creating new jobs for our residents.” Jeff Kotula, President, Washington County Chamber of Commerce
