Writeups on these games

Reno Economic Update: What is the Atlantis Casino in Reno worth today? Monarch Casino and Resorts, owner of the Atlantis Casino in Reno has a market value of $78,514,873 based on a closing price yesterday of $4.87 a share with 16,122,848 shares outstanding. $78 million seems a low valuation for the Atlantis, but that is what the stock market is telling us its worth as of yesterday. In 2007, when the share price got to over $30 a share and there were more shares outstanding, the Atlantis was valued at one time at over $557 million. That is a shocking drop of value of over $479 million or 86% in less that two years! The latest financial statements are here. Here is the five year stock chart. According to a news release from February 2008, the company repurchased in open market transactions 523,396 shares of the Company's common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $25.03 per share. What a terrible investment, considering the stock today closed at $4.87 a share. If the Atlantis Casino is only worth $78.5 million, what are the other casinos in Reno worth?
