Chairman of American Racing and Entertainment Jeff Gural, Tioga Downs Casino,
and Vernon Downs Casino and Hotel are pleased to announce that they are
donating $200,000 to the American Red Cross in aid of victims of Hurricane
Sandy in New York City.
Between Sunday,
November 11 and Sunday, November 18, patrons who donated $5 Sunday through
Thursday, and those who donated $10 on Friday and Saturday, received a
free buffet in Tioga Downs' County Fair Buffet. Patrons were also encouraged to
donate additional funds above $5 and $10, with the total amount generously
matched by Jeff Gural.

employees, Tioga Downs donated $31,000 and Vernon Downs amassed a total of
$28,000. These amounts, with the help of Jeff Gural's matching and personal
donations, met the combined donation goal of $200,000.
According to Mr.
Gural, "Our areas know what it’s like
to deal with the aftermath of a flood, which is evident by the generosity of
our patrons in showing their support for Hurricane Sandy victims."

to assist with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in New Jersey.

Adding one in Hammond and relocating the Gary casino would also strengthen the gambling industry in the region in case Illinois changes its gambling laws, McDermott said. If the changes happen, casinos will appear nearby in Illinois and pull revenues from Northwest Indiana. holdem poker free online
