Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment to Gaming Development and Management Agreement
     On March 20, 2007, Lakes Entertainment, Inc. (“Lakes”) received notification that the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”) approved the Second Amendment dated January 23, 2007 to First Amended and Restated Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Gaming Development and Management Agreement between the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians and Lakes KAR — Shingle Springs, LLC. (“Agreement”), making it effective as of March 20, 2007. The Agreement increases the maximum amount of the advances Lakes may make to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians (“Tribe”) pursuant to the transition loan from $50 million to $60 million, and pursuant to the land acquisition loan from $10 million to $15 million. The Agreement also increases the cap for the facility loan (which equals the cost of construction and initial costs of operations) from $450 million to $550 million. The Agreement does not require Lakes to increase its advances beyond its current commitments to the Tribe. Instead, the Agreement is necessary to ensure that Lakes has NIGC approval of all advances made to the Tribe that are within the maximum amounts permitted under the Agreement, thereby ensuring repayment by the Tribe.
     A copy of the Agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
