Pinnacle Entertainment reports loss in third quarter

Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009 | 10:25 a.m.

Pinnacle Entertainment today reported a net loss of $2.19 million, or 37 cents per share, during the third quarter compared to a loss of $11.8 million, or 20 cents per share, a year earlier, the Las Vegas-based casino operator said today.

Quarterly results included an $8.8 million charge related to repayment of debt, Pinnacle said in its third quarter earnings report.

Revenue for the third quarter held steady at $265 million compared to $263 million in the same period of 2008.

Gaming revenue was $227.4 million during the quarter compared to $222 million during the same period last year.

Revenue at Pinnacle’s Boomtown Reno was $11.5 million in the third quarter compared to $14.9 million in the same period of 2008. The company said the decline was a result of additional competition from California’s tribal casinos and a decline in general economic conditions.

Pinnacle Entertainment operates seven casinos in Nevada, Missouri, Indiana, Louisiana and Argentina.
