Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

In August and September 2006, Jeffrey P. Jacobs acquired 274,980 shares of the $.00001 par value common stock of MTR Gaming Group, Inc. (the “Issuer”) in open market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $2,149,241 inclusive of brokerage commissions.  Personal funds were used to effect the purchases.

 

In September and October 2006, the Richard E. Jacobs Revocable Living Trust acquired 1,274,009 shares of the Issuer’s common stock in open market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $14,131,569.  In March and April 2008, the trust acquired an additional 789,690 shares of the Issuer’s common stock in open market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $5,021,614 inclusive of brokerage commissions.  See Item 5.  Funds to effect the purchases were from operational funds of the trust.

 

In September, October, and November 2006, Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. acquired 813,618 shares of the Issuer’s common stock in open market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $7,999,651 inclusive of brokerage commissions.  Funds to effect the purchases were obtained from working capital and borrowings from a bank syndicate group under its revolving senior credit facility.

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 issues 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.

 

As the Issuer’s largest stockholder, and to further the Reporting Persons’ participation in the direction of the Issuer with a view to assisting in increasing stockholder value, Jeffrey P. Jacobs requested that he be elected to fill a vacancy on the Issuer’s Board of Directors.  Mr. Jacobs was elected by the Issuer’s Board of Directors to fill the vacancy on the seven person board on May 6, 2008.  He was also appointed to serve on the Succession Committee of the board.

 

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 4,366,233 shares of the Issuer or 15.9% of its shares outstanding, based upon 27,475,260 shares stated to be outstanding in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.
