Exec: Isle of Capri not interested in Atlantic City casino-hotel

Monday, Oct. 9, 2000 | 4:21 a.m.

Tim Hinkley, the COO for Biloxi-based Isle of Capri Casinos Inc., says the casino company has no plans - or desire - to acquire the bankrupt Claridge Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.

Analysts had suggested Isle of Capri could be a likely buyer for the Atlantic City property given its "long-term earnings record."

Dennis Forst, an analyst with McDonald Investments, said Isle is among the top midcap casinos operating today.

The Isle is expected to earn $1.09 per share in 2000 and $1.35 per share in 2001. Last year, the company earned 51 cents per share for the year.
