Reno Gazette-Journal GAMING TOURISM Fahrenkopf: Gaming group informatioll, Vegas-based maker of gambling machines, for about 1 1 9 million in stock. WMS, a Chicago-based videogame and pinball machine maker, will exchange 0.55 of a share for each share of Bally Gaming. Before completion of the deal. Bally must pay off its roughly $70 million in debt. The company can do that by either selling its German operations or restructuring that business and spinning it off to its shareholders in a way that rids the company of its debt.

If Bally sells the German business, called Bally Wulff, it must receive net proceeds of at least $55 million. The business currently carries about 1 5 million in debt, so combined the move would leave Bally debt-free. Daily's shareholders would receive any amounts in excess of the $55 million. Commission OK's Texas Hotel license Station Casinos Inc. has been authorized by the Nevada Gaming Commission to run the new, 200-room Texas Gambling Hall Hotel in North Las Vegas.

Have stock investors bid up prices too far too fast? Probably not, says Robert Ariel, a veteran market watcher and associate professor finance at Ba-ruch College in New York. "The market moving in fits and starts is more the rule than the exception," Ariel says. Indeed, says Birinyi, this is the 1 3th time since 1 960 that the market has risen more than 20 percent in less than seven months.

That doesn't mean stocks won't soon tumble. A drop of 1 0 percent amid a bull market is common, though there's not been one since this bull started running in 1 990. "When you get 40-point days in succession like this, we're going to get a selloff," says Clough. directory, especially if it would help him search for collectible books for customers. He also believes that the day is coming when the use of such online computer systems will be as common as having a phone.

However, he believes that day is still a ways off, maybe as much as 20 years away. But DeLucas said the technology is already in place to allow small businesses to take advantage of what, up until now, only major corporations have been able to afford.

will 'provide fer any forms of gambling not offered elsewhere in the state. But California tribes run slot machines, even though they are considered illegal by the state. The tribes have successfully argued in court that the machines are no different than the state's lottery keno game machines. The negotiations between several states and tribes have been good, Fahrenkopf said, but elsewhere the Indian casinos run virtually unchecked. "The Indian Gaming Commission has never had much power," he said.

"They don't have any resources for enforcement." And lack of enforcement is bad for the industry, Fahrenkopf said, because it can allow in criminal elements and give all casinos a bad stock market," says money manager Charles LaLoggia. Bonds started rising with news the economy was weakening, thus reducing inflation fears and raising speculation for cuts in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve. "The bond market seems to be forecasting a recession, but if the bond market is right, earnings are going down" and that will hurt stock prices, says LaLoggia. But other experts, perhaps for lack of a better explanation, are pointing at mutual funds. Individual investors have been pouring money into stock funds for five years straight, unfazed by 1994's disheartening results.

Fund managers have been putting nearly all of their cash into the market, try projects under construction without having to visit sites, he said. The MCI software also allows users to get on the Internet through the World Wide Web, the graphic interface on the Information Superhighway. DeLucas described how MCI is constructing a "shopping mall" on the 'net for businesses to set up shop and begin offering merchandise and services. Kumagai said the commercial portions of the MCI mall can encrypt transactions so credit card numbers won't end up in the wrong hands. When the demonstration was over, Earl admitted that his store might have some use for the fax system and an Internet shopping PUBLIC NOTICE announces the ings this week the association has no official position.

"My members arc split," said Fahrenkopf, a former Reno attorney and former head of the Republican National Committee. On one side, casino operators, such as in Nevada, are concerned about the effect that an unchecked spread of Indian gaming will have on their industry, especially if it spreads in California. However, Fahrenkopf said, Harrah's and other casino operators have several management contracts with Indian casinos. At issue, he explained, is the Indian Gaming Act, which bound state governors to negotiate "in good faith" with tribes that wished to offer gaming. The law was set up so that the tribes could not of percent of his investments in stocks.

The sharp rise confounds many experts. "We're still searching for what happened," says market-tracker LaszloBirinyi. He found picking an explanation easier in the past. The rise in stock prices in 1985 logically followed The Plaza Accord of government central bankers to bring down the value of the dollar. A rally in 1982 followed a decline in sky-high interest rates.

This rally could be a spillover from bonds, which started climbing in early November. Rising bond prices lower returns in those markets for investors. "A lot of investors feel they have no choice but to venture into the Technology is also on the way that will allow up to 24 people on separate computers to share a document, she said. "People can work together without spending money to get on a plane," she said. MCI also leases a video camera system for about $1,500 a year that allows workers to see each other while they talk or work together.

Les Kumagai, a former Reno TV reporter who also was traveling with the MCI trailer, said his company recently set up a construction corporation in Southern California with a video conferencing system. The contractor wanted the system so that managers could view PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLIC Circus Circus unveils next L.V. megaresort Three weeks alter merging with Gold Strike Resorts, Circus Circus Enterprises Inc. unveiled I lie new conglomerate's first major project to shareholders on Thursday. The megaresort, tentatively called Millennium, is to be built at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip on the 1 20-acre site of the Hacienda Hotel and an adjoining vacant parcel.

That would line a mile of the Strip with Circus Circus properties. "We are now one of the chosen few who will dominate the entertainment industry in the coming future," Chairman Clyde Turner told stockholders. Thursday's meeting was a stark contrast to the one a year earlier in Las Vegas, when the company's stock price was on the skids and shareholders were rebellious. In addition to Millennium, giving Circus what Turner called the "gateway" to the Strip, the chairman said the company plans to expand and reinvest in all its hotel-casinos. Senators clash over Indian gaming A clash between a Senate committee chairman and the House's leading critic of the Indian gambling industry dramatized the bitter division in Congress over the rapid spread of tribal casinos.

"I don't know what you're doing, zipping around and clicking," he said at one point. DeLucas conceded that the MCI programs are easier to pick up by those who used to using Windows programs on an IBM computer. However, she added, "I could teach you in a half hour how to use this. The onus is on companies like us to design these tools to be simple to use." As DeLucas scrolled down the list of MCI options, she demonstrated a fax system that will send documents straight from the computer to a fax machine or different computer.

In the "conferenceMCI" section, DeLucas demonstrated how two workers in different offices in separate cities can work on the same document simultaneously. 1 Partisan spats bog down Legislature, delay adjournment.
