Investigation Refutes Derogatory Claims Made by Guests and Media

DALLAS (Jan. 10, 2013) Main Event Entertainment, a Dallas based company operating family
entertainment centers, has completed its internal investigation and determined that a couples claims
of discrimination and the subsequent one-sided media accounts of the guests claims to be blatantly
false. The guests allegations previously were reported by the media. The focus of these reports was
based upon the statements from the guests.
After reviewing video footage, register transactions, and interviewing several employees, facts refute
the derogatory claims made by the guests and as previously reported by the media. Main Events
investigation reveals that:
