Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc. Provides Corporate Update

CANTON, Ohio, March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concrete Leveling Systems Inc (OTC PINK:CLEV) (the Company) and Jericho Associates Inc (Jericho), its hospitality and gaming division, are pleased to advise and update our Shareholders as to the current direction and progress of the Company.

Jericho is a Nevada corporation formed as a special purpose company focusing on the casino gaming, hospitality, entertainment, and leisure time industries.  In March of 2017, Jericho entered into an agreement with Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc, whereby Jericho became the gaming and hospitality division of CLEV.

Further to the company’s previously disclosed acquisition interests, the following should be noted. During the regulatory review and diligence process the unexpected COVID outbreak materialized, heightened in the U S and caused a national slowdown in business and financial activity. As such, Jericho sought additional selective acquisition opportunities for its pipeline.

On a positive note, Jericho has identified new projects in hospitality, casino gaming, entertainment and leisure time activities. It is currently in various stages of discussion, due diligence, investigative and regulatory activity on three separate opportunities, each of which is worthy of incremental shareholder value.

One such project is a commercial casino and hotel development. Located in Nevada it is currently contemplated to have 100 hotel rooms, 1500 slot machines, 15 table games, 2+ restaurants, an entertainment area and a complement of convention facilities. The budget for this project is approximately $80 mil. This would be a design, develop, and operate activity and would be completed in a partnership with third party investors, and commercial debt financing.

The second project, currently awaiting final regulatory approval, is a Tribal project with an estimated total cost of about $600 mil. It is located in a heavily populated California area with excellent casino player demographics. Because of its contemplated large size and scope, it would be structured as a joint venture or partnership with the current developer and major investors. It would include a large casino with a full complement of gaming, dining and entertainment amenities. The project would be a complete planned development that could include housing, retail and related commercial activities.

The third project would see Jericho working with certain associates to master plan a currently operating Tribal casino into a full remodel while expanding its existing casino operation and developing an accompanying hotel. The team would also advise the Tribe on additional ways to increase gaming revenue and profitability.

To assist in this growth process Jericho is pleased to announce the addition of two members to its Board of Directors.   Jericho would like to welcome Mr. Ray Brown and Mr. Rudy Prieto as Board members.

Ray Brown brings 38 years of both commercial and Tribal gaming experience to Jericho. His background includes a full array of development, operational, and distressed property rebranding and turnaround.

Ray has also acted in the capacity of Federal, State, and Local Government and Municipality Liaison for commercial and Tribal projects.    Ray has served many of the top commercial gaming brands in Las Vegas, Reno and Atlantic City and developed, opened and or operated ten Native American gaming operations across six states.

Rudy Prieto is a recognized industry leader serving in CEO, COO, and senior level executive capacities for some of the world’s most recognized commercial and Tribal casino resorts. He has 43+ years of extensive experience in hotel and casino operations including slots, table games, finance, marketing compliance and regulatory matters.
