Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MTR GAMING GROUP ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
CHESTER, WV — November 8, 2007 — MTR Gaming Group, Inc. (NasdaqGS:MNTG) today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007. See attached tables (including Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP).
For the third quarter, MTR’s net revenues increased 41% to $118.6 million compared to the same period of 2006. EBITDA from continuing operations grew 21% to $17.3 million. MTR reported income from continuing operations of $802,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, versus $1.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share in last year’s third quarter. The Company incurred additional net interest expense of $5.1 million during the current third quarter compared to a year ago associated with increased borrowings for the construction and development of Presque Isle Downs. In the current quarter, Binion’s was reflected as discontinued operations, following the expiration of the purchaser’s early termination right. As a result, the Company incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $3.6 million (including a pretax loss on disposal of $1.5 million) or $0.13 per diluted share, versus $1.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2006. MTR reported a net loss of $2.8 million or $0.10 per diluted share, versus net income of $103,000 or $0.00 per diluted share in the third quarter of last year.
Net revenues at The Mountaineer Race Track & Gaming Resort were $67.0 million, compared to $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. The Company attributes the revenue decrease to the impact on Mountaineer’s market from the opening of gaming operations in Pennsylvania. Mountaineer generated EBITDA of $12.7 million, versus $19.6 million in the comparable quarter of 2006. The property’s profitability was impacted by the decrease in revenues as well as increased marketing costs associated with an aggressive marketing campaign to build player loyalty ($900,000) and expenses incurred in connection with the opening of table gaming ($600,000), which included costs to support the local referendum to allow table gaming at Mountaineer and employee hiring costs.
Presque Isle Downs, which opened on February 28, 2007, contributed net revenues of $46.7 million and EBITDA of $7.9 million during the 2007 third quarter. The property margins were impacted by an aggressive marketing campaign designed to build player loyalty and brand awareness as well as the commencement of live racing.
For the first nine months of 2007, MTR’s net revenues rose 36% to $327.9 million compared to the 2006 nine-month period. EBITDA from continuing operations increased 19% to $47.4 million. Presque Isle Downs contributed net revenues of $111.7 million and EBITDA of $18.8 million year-to-date since its opening on February 28, 2007. During the first nine months of 2007, the Company incurred $4.1 million in project opening costs, $3.0 million of which were associated with Presque Isle Downs and $1.1 million of which were related to table games at
1
Mountaineer, versus $968,000 associated with Presque Isle Downs during the first nine months of last year. MTR incurred additional net interest expense of $12.6 million in the 2007 period due to increased borrowings for the construction and development of Presque Isle Downs. MTR reported income from continuing operations of $1.7 million or $0.06 per diluted share, versus $6.0 million or $0.22 per diluted share in last year’s nine-month period. The Company incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $4.5 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the 2007 period, versus $2.1 million or $0.08 per diluted share in the 2006 period. MTR reported a net loss of $2.8 million or $0.10 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2007, compared to net income of $3.9 million or $0.14 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2006.
Edson R. (Ted) Arneault, President and CEO of MTR Gaming Group, stated, “2007 will be a key transitional year for the Company as we exit non-strategic properties in Nevada and leverage growth opportunities in West Virgina with the introduction of table games, in Pennsylvania with the opening and ramp-up of Presque Isle Downs and in Minnesota with the ground breaking of our joint venture track and card club.”
Mr. Arneault continued, “In mid-October, we launched 37 poker tables at Mountaineer, which are exceeding our expectations. Based on current demand, we are anticipating adding 4 additional poker tables. We are looking forward to opening 50 table games at Mountaineer on or about January 1st. We believe that table games will enhance the property’s competitive position by drawing new customers and driving increased play from our existing customers. Presque Isle construction is nearly complete in line with our budget. We opened the OTB operation in July and commenced live racing on September 1.”
MTR also announced the appointment of Ray A. Morrow as Director of Corporate Security. Mr. Morrow spent 20 years with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, most recently serving as the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh office. Prior to joining the FBI, he handled corporate security and law enforcement for Alleghany International, Inc. for seven years. Mr. Morrow also spent two years with the United States Secret Service, assigned to the White House. Mr. Morrow will work with the Company’s Compliance Committee, human resources department and security and surveillance staffs. He will assume his new duties effective December 1. Commenting on the appointment, Mr. Arneault stated, “Ray Morrow is talented, experienced and energetic. We are pleased to have an executive with Ray’s background join MTR and believe he will be an effective leader in assuring our continued compliance with gaming regulations in the states in which we operate as we expand the number and scope of our operations.”
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP
EBITDA represents earnings (losses) before interest, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture and gain (loss) on disposal of property. EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is unaudited and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or income from operations as an indicator of our operating performance, or cash flows from operating activities, as measures of liquidity. EBITDA has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis’ for valuation of companies in our industry. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in EBITDA include capital expenditures (which are significant given our expansion), interest payments, income taxes, and debt principal repayments. Moreover, other companies that provide EBITDA

information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.
