San Manuel Brings Guinness World Records(TM) to the Inland Empire

Two of the biggest names in their respective industries are collaborating this month to bring the Guinness World Records(TM) to the Inland Empire. San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino, and the California Speedway, home of NASCAR racing, will be bringing the game of bingo to over 100,000 screaming motor sports enthusiasts on February 24, when San Manuel attempts to reclaim their world title for the "Largest Bingo House".

San Manuel first gained the title of "Largest Bingo House" in July 2006, when they broke the Guinness World Record(TM) with more than 53,000 bingo participants at Dodger Stadium. The following year, a group in Columbia beat San Manuel's record, but now San Manuel is determined to win it back with nearly double the number of people participating in the event -- bringing world recognition to the Inland Empire.

"At San Manuel, we are always thinking outside the box. We knew combining one of the largest Bingo houses in the country with motor sports biggest racing organization would mean big things," said Steve Lengel, executive director of operations for San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino. "We are all fired up about our upcoming record breaking and we are ready to put the pedal to the metal!"

More than 100,000 people are expected to be in attendance at the highly anticipated Auto Club 500 at the California Speedway to take part in the Bingo 500, Race to the Record attempt. San Manuel will turn the Speedway into a temporary open-air bingo hall, where everyone in attendance will receive a bingo card to play. The bingo game will be called between races and cash prizes will be awarded to winning participants. All winning cards will be entered into a random drawing, where three lucky winners will receive cash prizes for $10,000, $6,000 and $4,000. A representative from Guinness World Records(TM) will be on hand to officially recognize San Manuel's new world record.

San Manuel has long been considered a leader in the bingo world; known for their high payouts and expansive, modern bingo hall. The popularity of Guinness World Records(TM) is hot right now, as evident by their recently televised show, Guinness World Records Live: Top 100, on network TV. San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino is proud to bring the Inland Empire into the spotlight in this record-breaking phenomenon with their upcoming record attempt.

Press credentials for the event are available on a limited basis. Members of the press wishing to attend the Guinness World Records(TM) attempt should RSVP to Gwen Kleist at (909) 382-2222 x222 by Wednesday, February 20.
