MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ WOMAN WINS

LARGEST CARIBBEAN STUD POKER JACKPOT


Atlantic City, NJ --- A royal flush in diamonds (Ace\King\Queen\Jack\Ten) 
produced this city's largest Caribbean Stud Poker Jackpot on Friday, March 
15, 1996. A Monmouth County, New Jersey resident won the $221,198 progressive 
game jackpot. The total was paid immediately in full, not in yearly payments. 
After making a satndard wager on a Caribbean Stud Poker game, the player is 
allowed to wager $1 on the progressive Feature Bet. Regardless of the 
dealer's hand, if a player has a qualifying hand, the player wins a portion 
or all of the progressive total. Smaller payouts are made for a Flush, Full 
House, and Four of a Kind. A Straight Flush pays 10% of the jackpot, while a 
Royal Flush captures the entire meter. The sands offers six Caribbean Stud 
Poker Tables, including smoking and non-smoking options.

NEW OFFERS MAKES SANDS BLACKJACK

THE HOTTEST IN TOWN!

Atlantic City, NJ --- The Sands has announced new opportunities for blackjack 
players to enjoy the game to the fullest. While other places allow players to 
split same value cards one time, the Sands allows a second split. For 
example: get two 8's, split them; then if the next card is also an 8, another 
split can take place. This second split is even allowed on Aces! And this 
rule can be found on EVERY blackjack table in the building.

The Sands has a game for every player. There's Guaranteed $5 blackjack, 24 
hours a day, 7 days a week. Plus, table limits on all tables have been 
increased for premium players. For example: tables where the wagering range 
was $10 - $500 are now $10 - $1000. Similar increases have occured on higher 
value tables.

Housing nearly 200 of the latest and most popular machines, the new $1

clear result is smoke free gaming on over 20,000 square feet of gaming 
space, containing some 600 slot machines and over 50 table games.

The new $1 slot salon features unquestioned luxury and Sands-style 
customer service. To eliminate player distractions, in-game bill changers
are a part of each machine.  There's a special coin cage right in the new
salon. For ultimate service, butlers will distribute hors d'oeuvres,
refreshments and cater to players every wish. Everyone can enjoy the

AND THEY'RE OFF!!!


The hugely successful Simulcast area at the Sand's Hotel & Casino will be 
moving...but not far. To better accomodate our "bettors", the Simulcast area 
will be temporarily re-located to the back of the Poker area on the second 
level of the casino. A new, permanent home is being constructed for the first 
level casino.

This move is necessary so that the present space can be renovated to 
accomodate the newest feature at the Sands, a totally themed, new $1 and $5 
slot area. This new area will be opening by mid-March. The popularity of the 
non-smoking area on the second level casino was so overwhelming, dollar slot 
players wanted to breathe easy and enjoy a smoke-free getaway. "When our 
customers speak, we listen," states Brad Stone, President, Sands Hotel & 
Casino. "To give our customers what they want, the new slot area will be 
totally enhanced for our players. Not only will the area contain the latest 
in slot machines, but complimentary beverages and hors d'oeuvres will be 
served plus other amenities," continues Stone.
