Dover Downs expands

Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. announced an expansion plan that will more than double the number of hotel rooms and add a luxurious 8,000-square-foot spa to the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.



By the summer of 2007, the company expects to have added 268 luxury rooms to the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, bringing the total number of rooms to 500.



Twelve of these rooms will be specially designed spa suites featuring either hot tubs, pool tables or fireplaces plus wet bars and plasma screen TVs.



"This expansion is the next step in our plan to make Dover Downs one of the premier gaming destinations on the East Coast," said Denis McGlynn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment.



"We are very excited to offer more rooms and additional amenities to our current and future customers. Given the consistently strong occupancy levels we have seen since our hotel opened in 2002, it is our belief that these improvements will attract more casino customers to Dover Downs."



McGlynn added that approximately 50 new jobs are expected to be generated when the expansion comes on-line, bringing total employment at Dover Downs Gaming &

Entertainment to almost 1,000.
