press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.&#160; Actual results may vary materially from
expectations.&#160; Penn National Gaming
describes certain of these risks and uncertainties in its filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K
for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006.&nbsp; Meaningful factors which could
cause actual results to differ from expectations described in this press
release include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of any event, change or
other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the agreement
with Fortress and Centerbridge; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may
be or have been instituted against Penn National Gaming related to the proposed
agreement; the inability to complete the transaction due to the failure to
satisfy the conditions to completion of the merger, including the receipt of all
regulatory approvals related to the merger; risks that the proposal transaction
disrupts current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in key
employee retention as a result of the transaction; the effects of local and
national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in
general, and on the gaming and lodging industries in particular; Fortress and
Centerbridge&#146;s access to available and reasonable financing on a timely basis;
changes in laws, including increased tax rates, regulations or accounting
standards, third-party relations and approvals, and decisions of courts,
regulators and governmental bodies; litigation outcomes and judicial actions,
including gaming legislative action, referenda and taxation.&#160; Furthermore, Penn National Gaming does not
intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by
law.&#160; The cautionary advice in this
paragraph is permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.</font></b></p>
