text: **Management’s use of estimates.**The consolidated financial statements have been 
  prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
  States of America. Those principles require the Company’s management to make 
  estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 
  and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
  statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
  reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
  
  **Cash and cash equivalents.**Cash and cash equivalents include investments and 
  interest bearing instruments with maturities of three months or less at the date of 
  acquisition. Such investments are carried at cost which approximates market value. 
  Effective December 31, 2004, the Company is recording book overdraft balances 
  resulting from its cash management program as accounts payable, and has 
  reclassified prior period balances to conform to this presentation. 
  
  **Accounts receivable and credit risk.**Financial instruments that potentially subject 
  the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts 
  receivable. The Company issues markers to approved casino customers following 
  background checks and investigations of creditworthiness. At December 31, 2004, a 
  substantial portion of the Company’s receivables were due from customers residing 
  in foreign countries. Business or economic conditions or other significant events in 
  these countries could affect the collectibility of such receivables.
