---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- (NASDAQ: PENN - Penn National Gaming, Inc.) LATEST NEWS!! Penn National Gaming Announces a Community Relations Advisory Agreement with Russell Simmons and Labor Framework Agreement with New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council, AFL-CIO NEW YORK & WYOMISSING, Penn., Nov 02, 2009 -- Penn National Gaming, Inc. (PENN: Nasdaq) announced today that it has reached a community relations agreement with Russell Simmons' Rush Communications of NYC and a labor framework agreement with the New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council, AFL-CIO in relation to a video lottery terminal gaming facility at New York's Aqueduct Race Track. The agreements reflect Penn National's commitment to Aqueduct's local Queens community, New York City and New York State, horsemen and employees, and extend Penn National's record of community, charitable and civic support and diversity initiatives in each of the markets in which it operates.

The agreement with Russell Simmons' Rush Communications of NYC brings together Penn National's unparalleled financial stability and liquidity, role as one of the nation's largest investors in the re-development of pari-mutuel facilities and operator of successful horse racing facilities, with Rush's local resources, community advocacy and focus on corporate social responsibility.

In its capacity as community relations advisor on this project, Rush will be involved in public affairs and in advising Penn National on its planned local community relations and outreach, charitable donations, diversity and humane initiatives. Rush will assist Penn National Gaming in meeting its commitment to Community Board 10 and local officials to be a strong local partner. Rush will donate a portion of its compensation for providing services to Penn National to charities.

Russell Simmons commented, "As a Queens native, I am sensitive to the developmental needs, educational opportunities and other conditions that can benefit from Penn National's plan for the Aqueduct facility. I am also acutely aware of the animal rights issues that could be advocated for within this role. Penn National is an exemplary corporate citizen and the re-development of Aqueduct represents an important vehicle for creating sustainable economic growth and contributions to the borough and New York as well as empowerment, community relations, and humane initiatives that are close to my heart." Penn National's agreement with the New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council, AFL-CIO establishes a framework to ensure that organized labor will participate in the ongoing operations of Aqueduct if Penn National is selected to develop and operate the video lottery terminal facility.

Peter M. Carlino, Chief Executive Officer of Penn National commented, "We are delighted to have access to the counsel, resources and involvement of Russell Simmons and Rush Communications in our plan to develop the Aqueduct facility in Queens. In conversations with Community Board 10 and other local leaders, we understand the importance of working with the Queens community to hear and respond to their priorities and concerns as we move forward with the revitalization of Aqueduct and the surrounding area. As an advisor, Russell will ensure that our company-wide record as a responsible community partner will extend to our proposed development and operation of video lottery terminals at Aqueduct in Queens and improve the greater New York City region and the lives of local constituents. Similarly, the AFL-CIO agreement represents our intention to develop and maintain a constructive and beneficial rapport with employees, as we create sustainable economic benefits for the region and the state.

"Our overall bid for the state contract to revitalize Aqueduct and operate 4,500 video lottery terminals clearly stands above all others. Penn National's proposal includes an immediate cash payment to the state of $250 million, the highest up front amount that has been offered.

Furthermore, the time line for our construction re-development and facility opening within ten months of final selection by the State of New York will mean that the state and community will see much needed revenues faster than any of the competing proposals. Finally, Penn National's proven record of investment, development and operation of highly successful pari-mutuel and entertainment facilities in Pennsylvania, Maine, New Mexico and West Virginia exceeds all of the other bidders."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- (OTCBB: LFBG - Left Behind Games, Inc.) LATEST NEWS!! Left Behind Games Seeks Christian Media and Family-Friendly Acquisition Candidates MURRIETA, Calif., Nov 2, 2009 -- Left Behind Games Inc. (OTCBB:LFBG), dba Inspired Media Entertainment, a leading publisher of Christian video games, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Lenox Hill Partners of New York to assist in identifying 12 potential acquisition candidates in the next six months.

Troy Lyndon, CEO, says, "Although we are pursuing our own internal growth, we are also seeking to expand the business through strategic acquisitions. Of the 12 acquisition candidates, it is our hope to find at least one that will align with our goals and enhance our profitability. Specifically, we are looking for other Christian media or family-friendly businesses. Interested parties may contact us through our Investor Relations web page at www.inspiredmedia.com." Christian products have gained popular acceptance in the music and book sections of retailers over recent years. The newest Left Behind and Charlie Church Mouse PC video games as well as Keys of the Kingdom are the three titles being piloted in approximately 100 Texas Walmart stores for determining customer interest. Consumers interested in finding the nearest Walmart carrying the games can go to www.inspiredmedia.com/walmart.

For many years, Walmart has sold gospel music and both fictional and non-fictional Christian books, including the well-known Left Behind book series which has sold more than 65 million copies. Yet, there are few, if any, moral or Bible-based video game choices for youth and adults alike.

The demographics in Texas make it an ideal testing ground for Left Behind PC Games where there are over 23,000 churches(1). Texas ranks first in the nation in the number of Evangelical Protestants (over 5 million), second in number of Mainline Protestants (over 1.7 million) and third in number of Catholics(2). There are almost 25 million residents in Texas(3), and Christians represent the greater portion of the 49% who claim that they attend church or synagogue once a week(4).

In an effort to promote the new arrival of the games at Walmart, Inspired Media has sent out letters of appeal to thousands of Texas-based church pastors and will continue to do so over a 10 week campaign through Christmas, which began October 19th.

Inspired Media Entertainment currently publishes six games including Tribulation Forces, the sequel to the original game LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces, known as the most widely distributed Christian PC game in history. The Company's LEFT BEHIND branded games are based upon the popular novel series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins which have sold millions of books in 30 languages worldwide. Inspired Media also offers three games for ages two to eight under the Charlie Church Mouse brand, in addition to Keys of the Kingdom for all ages.
