MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - Dec 16, 2011) - Caribbean Casino Gaming Corp. (
CEO Steven Swank stated, "I spoke with the President of the Racetrack Commission, Mr. Bievenido Rodriguez, today around 11 am EST. He apologized for the lengthy delays and promised to write a letter assuring the Company that it was indeed in the running to take over and operate the race track. I then explained to him that my shareholders were suffering and the Company's market cap plummeting as a direct result of the Commission's inability to make a decision. He apologized again and promised to provide written proof that this project was still viable. I will release that letter immediately upon receipt."
Swank continued, "I am frustrated beyond words. The way business is conducted down here can be confounding. Therefore, I have hired a consulting firm that has a mandate from the DR President himself to assist foreign investors. I met this morning with Edison Reynoso of La Seven Ma. Inversion (Consulting Firm) to facilitate and expedite this project. I have given them strict instructions to get me an answer, yea or nay, by year's end."
"I am not willing to give up on this project just yet," added Swank. "It has far too much potential to not see it through to the end. By my calculations, the revenue generated from operating this track would return our market cap to previous highs and beyond. The $1 million is sitting in escrow, waiting to be put to work.
"At this point, I can only assure our shareholders that we are doing everything humanly possible to make the project work. I am working every angle I can find around the clock. I apologize personally to those shareholders who have suffered losses and ask for a little more patience. I do believe that if we prevail, it will all be worth it.
"Finally, I'd like to express my thanks to those that are supporting our efforts and wish everyone the very best of holidays."
