Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino Ranks Highest in Satisfaction With

the Casino Experience in Inaugural Study

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- A large majority -- 85 percent -- of gaming customers at Indian casinos in Southern California report that they would prefer a smoke-free environment in these casinos, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Southern California Indian Gaming Casino Satisfaction Study(SM) released today.

The inaugural study measures overall customer satisfaction based on performance in five key measures (listed in order of importance): gaming (33%); facility (27%); cage cashier/ticket redemption machine (17%); arriving/parking (15%); and beverage service (9%).

"Most casino customers have grown accustomed to dealing with large volumes of cigarette smoke in the air, but an overwhelming percentage indicate they would prefer to play in a smoke-free environment, which presents a major opportunity for improvement for casinos," said Sam Thanawalla, director of the global hospitality and travel practice at J.D. Power and Associates. "While some establishments have already begun implementing smoke-free gaming areas in their facilities, customers may not be aware that this is an option. Those casinos that provide smoke-free gaming areas and also do a good job of educating consumers about them could benefit from increased attendance and higher satisfaction."

Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino ranks highest in satisfying customers with a score of 737 on a 1,000-point scale and performs particularly well in four of five factors: arriving/parking; facility; gaming; and cage cashier/ticket redemption. Following in the rankings are Viejas Casino (724) and Pala Casino Spa and Resort (717), respectively. Viejas Casino per
