<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]-->The Casino Queen
is raising the stakes in its bid to capture a larger share of the local gaming
market with the construction on a new $2.15 million sports bar and
entertainment venue. The 6,250-square-foot facility has been coined &ldquo;Sevens,&rdquo;
and will house pieces from the St. Louis Cardinals Museum Collection. Situated
just steps from the gaming floor, the new multi-purpose entertainment venue is
expected to open in Fall 2009.</span></p>

<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\">St. Louis-based
KAI Design and Build and Legacy Building Group, LLC are the primary architect
and contractor, respectively. </span></p>

<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\">&ldquo;Sevens&rdquo; will
take shape in the area of the new casino that, until recently, housed the
Gateway Caf&eacute; and gift shop. On top of showcasing St. Louis Cardinals historic
memorabilia in specially lit museum cases, Sevens will offer the ultimate
sports-viewing experience with 16 high-definition flat screen televisions and a
retractable projection screen to be viewed from all angles of the facility. To
further accent the sports theme, the entry floor will be made of glass mirror
chips embedded with hockey pucks, murals will feature oversize sports ball
images and rows of baseball bats will accent the walls of several VIP booths.</span></p>

<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\">The venue also
is being designed with the capacity to accommodate live musical entertainment
with a 360-square-foot stage set near a large dance floor. SEVENS will feature
a broad dining menu complete with a full bar. </span></p>

<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\">Sevens will
feature a state-of-the-art theatrical effects elements lighting system. This
unique system is made up of large circular translucent fabric clouds, back lighted
with DMX controlled LED lights, suspended from the ceiling in the main area.
The system uses a blend of different lighting to create the perfect atmosphere
depending on how the club is being used: red for Cardinals games, pulsating and
changing color during concerts and dance nights and glowing with warm, soft
colors during dining hours. The facility&rsquo;s underlying color scheme features
subdued dark woods played off against light champagne metallic, allowing the
lighting system to set the appropriate ambiance. </span></p>

is handling the acoustical and theatrical design elements.</span></p>
