For immediate release

Vienna, 03.10.2006 --- From 5-10 October 2006, representatives of Casinos Austria's 75 casinos in 18 countries will get together in Switzerland for the Casinos Austria International (CAI) Casino Conference 2006.

An annual event in the CAI calendar, the conference gives casino managers an opportunity to meet with corporate management, invited experts and specialists from within the Casinos Austria Group for a week of intensive training, focused discussions and networking. It forms part of CAI's innovative knowledge exchange program, making sure its casinos remain up-to-date on current management trends and developments in the casino and gaming industries.

Each conference spotlights a specific issue and takes place either in conjunction with a key industry event (such as the G2E in Las Vegas) or is hosted by one of the company's newer casino locations. The 2006 conference will be held in Switzerland, where CAI and its local partners operate six casinos, and will be jointly hosted by Grand Casino Luzern and Allegro Grand Casino Kursaal Bern.

Topics under discussion at the 2006 Conference include Cashless Casino Systems, Trends in F&B, Customer Value Based Management, Corporate Governance and Responsible Gaming.
