MGM Mirage to sell Borgata stake

Wall Street Journal,  Friday, March 12, 2010 at 11:06:35 AM
MGM Mirage will sell its 50% stake in the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, as widely expected, in a settlement with New Jersey gambling regulators.

Shares rose 1.4% in early trading to $11.83 while Borgata partner Boyd Gaming Corp. climbed 1.4% to $8.72.

The regulators had raised concerns about the suitability of MGM Mirage's business partner in Macau. Chairman and Chief Executive Jim Murren reiterated Friday that the casino operator disagrees with the New Jersey regulators. He said other regulators have determined the relationship with Pansy Ho is appropriate or decided further action isn't required.

MGM Mirage disclosed last year that New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement had issued a confidential report saying the company should disassociate from Ho, the company's joint venture partner in Macau. It labeled her an "unsuitable" business partner.

The Tuskegee News,  Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 9:37:08 AM
Rumors VictoryLand was going to reopen surfaced the middle of last week. By Friday (March 5) rumors became reality as hundreds of patrons resumed playing many of the 6,400 electronic bingo machines at the entertainment center in Shorter.

A series of events led to hundreds of employees returning to work at the facility that had been shut down February 4 by owner Milton McGregor to prevent Gov. Bob Riley's Anti-Gambling Task Force from conducting a raid to seize machines and proceeds.

VictoryLand avoided a raid by Task Force director John Tyson and about 100 Alabama State Troopers on January 29 by obtaining a restraining order from Fifth Circuit Judge Tom Young.
