NIGC Approves Extension of Butler National - Stables Casino Management Agreement

OLATHE, Kan., Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Butler National Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board "BUKS") a recognized provider of professional management services in the gaming industry, announces that the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) has approved a fourth five-year term of management agreement between the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma and Butler National Service Corporation for The Stables casino. The approval continues Butler National as manager of The Stables into 2018. The Stables opened for business in September 1998.

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the regulations of the NIGC require the NIGC Chairperson to approve changes to management contracts for all gaming operations on Indian lands. The change to the management contract extended the contract term.

The Stables casino is a Class III gaming establishment in Miami, Oklahoma owned by the Modoc Tribe. The Stables features Class III games permitted under the Compact with the State of Oklahoma and Bingo games permitted under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The Class III games include Las Vegas-style electronic games and table games. The Stables draws many of its customers from the local communities in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, tourists traveling Interstate 44, as well as tourists attending the Branson, Missouri attractions.

Clark Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Butler National Corporation said, "We are extremely pleased to receive this contract extension. We have a great working relationship with the Modoc Tribe and the NIGC. Northeast Oklahoma has become a tourist destination with the help of Indian gaming. The benefits to the tribes and local community from gaming have been very positive. The past fourteen years have been, and we fully expect will continue to be, a successful and profitable relationship for the Modoc Tribe and Butler. We look forward to the challenges and growth opportunities that lie ahead with Indian Gaming."
