Tuesday, November 15, 2011  

The Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians of California reported an increase in gaming revenue.

The River Rock Casino took in $31.3 million in the last quarter. That's up nearly 4 percent from the same time a year ago, The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat reported.

Additionally, profits went up. The tribe made $7.6 million, an increase of 43 percent from the year prior.

"We are pleased with our third quarter results and believe that our focus on increased marketing on high-value players has been driving incremental business and increasing wagers in both slots and table games," David Fendrick, chief executive officer and general manager of the River Rock Casino, said in a press release. "We expect to continue to focus on improving the overall appearance and the feel of the casino to meet our customer needs and aggressive database marketing programs, innovative promotions and host driven player development."

The tribe is trying to restructure about $200 million in gaming-related debt.
