Item 4.                     Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons initially acquired shares of the Issuer because they believed the shares presented an attractive investment opportunity to achieve capital appreciation.

The Reporting Persons continuously analyze the operations, capital structure, and markets of companies in which they invest, including the Issuer, through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies.  As a result of these activities, the Reporting Person(s) may participate in interviews or hold discussions with third parties or with management of the Issuer in which the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management, or capital structure of the Issuer as a means of enhancing shareholder value.  The Reporting Persons may also wish to discuss with Issuer’s management and Board of Directors the potential for mutually beneficial relationships between Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. and the Issuer.  Such suggestions or positions may relate to one or more of the transactions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D under Rule 13d-1(a), including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of one or more businesses; selling the Issuer or acquiring another company or business; changing operating or marketing strategies; waiving, adopting, not adopting, modifying, or eliminating certain types of anti-takeover measures; restructuring the Issuer’s capitalization; reviewing dividend and compensation policies; entering into agreements with third parties relating to acquisitions of securities issued or to be issued by the Issuer; entering into agreements with the management of the Issuer relating to acquisitions of shares of the Issuer, issuance of options to management, or their employment by

the Issuer.  For example, the Reporting Persons understand that a vacancy exists on the Issuer’s Board of Directors.  On October 25, 2006, Jeffrey P. Jacobs, a Reporting Person, suggested that the vacancy be filled by Mr. Jacobs’ nominee, Ian M. Stewart, a long time executive officer of Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. who has expertise in financial, accounting and business matters and in pari-mutuel and gaming operations.

Further, subject to and depending upon the availability of prices deemed favorable by the Reporting Persons, they may choose to purchase additional shares of the Issuer from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions with third parties, or otherwise.  In addition, depending upon prevailing conditions or other factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of shares of the Issuer currently held by the Reporting Person in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions with third parties, or otherwise.

Except as described herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D under Rule 13d-1(a).

Item 5.                     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)           The Reporting Persons own beneficially an aggregate of 3,576,543 shares of the Issuer or 13.01% of its shares outstanding, based upon 27,498,026 shares stated to be outstanding in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
