Concorde Gaming Corporation (OTCBB:CGAM) announced the opening of the Golden Gulch Casino on January 29, 2003.

On December 4, 2002, Concorde Gaming Corporation purchased the former Jazz Alley Casino property located in Black Hawk, Colorado through its wholly owned subsidiary, Concorde Blackhawk Corporation, for approximately $1.6 million. After nearly 2 months of renovations and improvements, the Company opened the Golden Gulch Casino on January 29, 2003.

"We believe the opening of our Golden Gulch Casino will enhance our profitability in the upcoming years," commented Jerry Baum, President and CEO of Concorde Gaming. "We plan to take full advantage of the operational efficiencies that exist between the Golden Gates and Gold Gulch Casino's to improve our financial results."

The Golden Gulch Casino opened with 125 gaming devices, with plans of expanding to 240 gaming devices by September 30, 2003.

Concorde Gaming owns and operates three gaming properties with over 600 gaming devices in operation. The Company operates two limited stakes gaming properties, the Golden Gates Casino and Golden Gulch Casino, both in Black Hawk, Colorado, and a day-cruise gaming property, the Casino Princesa based out of Miami, Florida. The Company's corporate offices are located in Rapid City, South Dakota.
