(e) Includes one time signing bonus of $15,000 and guaranteed bonus of $70,000 for 2001. 4 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan The Company has adopted the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("Executive Plan"), which allows certain highly compensated employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (each an "Employer") to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion of their base annual salaries, bonuses, and cash payments received upon a change in control (as defined in the Executive Plan) in consideration of the cancellation of stock options held by such persons ("Option Cancellation Payment"). The Executive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and participation in the Executive Plan is limited to employees who are (i) determined by an Employer to be includable within a select group of management or highly compensated employees, (ii) specifically selected by an Employer and (iii) approved by the Compensation Committee. A participating employee may elect to defer up to 75% of his or her base annual salary, up to 100% of his or her bonus per year and up to 100% of his or her Option Cancellation Payment. Any such deferred compensation is credited to a deferral contribution account. A participating employee is at all times fully vested in his or her deferred contributions, as well as any appreciation or depreciation attributable thereto. The Company does not make contributions to the Executive Plan for the benefit of such employees. For purposes of determining the rate of return credited to a deferral contribution account, each participating employee must select from a list of hypothetical investment funds among which deferred contributions shall be allocated. Although a participating employee's deferred compensation will not be invested directly in the selected hypothetical investment funds, his or her deferral compensation account shall be adjusted according to the performance of such funds. Although the fund investment alternatives under the Executive Plan are different from those under the Company's 401(k) plan, the Company doesn't believe the participants in the Executive Plan are entitled to a preferential return on amounts deferred in relation to the return available to employees generally under the 401(k) plan. The payment of benefits under the Executive Plan is an unsecured obligation of the Company. The Company is not obligated to acquire or hold any investment fund assets. Participating employees may elect in advance to receive their deferral contribution account balances upon 5 retirement in a lump sum or in annual payments over five, ten or fifteen years (except that, if an employee's account balance is less than $50,000, such balance will be paid as a lump sum). A participating employee may make an advance election to defer retirement distributions until age 75. In the event a participating employee dies or suffers a disability (as defined in the Executive Plan) during employment, such employee's account balance shall be paid (i) in one lump sum if the account balance is less than $50,000, or (ii) if the account balance is $50,000 or more, in five annual installments unless the employee has elected, in advance and with the Compensation Committee's approval, to receive a lump sum distribution. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary termination of employment for any reason other than retirement, disability or death, a participating employee shall receive his or her account balance (i) in one lump sum if the account balance is less than $50,000, or (ii) if the account balance is $50,000 or more, in five annual installments unless the employee has elected, in advance and with the Compensation Committee's approval, to receive a lump sum distribution; provided, however, that if such termination, retirement, disability or death occurs within 18 months of a change in control (as defined in the Executive Plan), then the employee's deferral contribution account balance shall be paid in the form of one lump sum payment not later than 30 days after the termination, retirement, disability or death. A participating employee may make an advance election to receive interim distributions from a deferral compensation account prior to retirement, but not earlier than three years after the election is made. Such interim distributions are distributed as lump sum payments. In the event of a financial emergency (such as a sudden illness or accident, a loss of property due to casualty or other extraordinary and unforeseeable events beyond the employee's control), a participating employee may petition the Compensation Committee to suspend deferrals and/or to request withdrawal of a portion of the account to satisfy the emergency. A participating employee may request to receive all of his or her account balance, without regard to whether benefits are due or the occurrence of a financial emergency; any distribution made pursuant to such a request shall be subject to forfeiture of 10% of the total account balance and temporary suspension of the employee's participation in the Executive Plan. An Employer may terminate, amend or modify the Executive Plan with respect to its participating employees at any time, except that (i) no termination, amendment or modification may decrease or restrict the value of a participating employee's account balance and (ii) no amendment or modification shall be made after a change in control which adversely affects the vesting, calculation or payment of benefits or any other rights or protections of any participating employee. Upon termination of the Executive Plan, all amounts credited to participating employees' accounts shall be distributed in lump sums. Stock Option Plans In 1993, 1996 and 2001, the stockholders of the Company adopted stock option plans ("Stock Option Plans"), which provided for the issuance of up to 625,000, 900,000 and 900,000 shares of the Company's Pinnacle Common Stock upon exercise of options to purchase Pinnacle Common Stock ("Pinnacle Stock Options"), respectively. Except for the provisions governing the number of shares issuable thereunder, the provisions of the Stock Option Plans are similar. The most important differences between the Stock Options Plans are (a) the 1993 and 1996 Stock Option Plans, but not the 2001 Stock Option Plan, permit the granting of stock appreciation rights coupled with the grants of Pinnacle Stock Options, (b) under the 2001 Stock Option Plan, but not the 1993 and 1996 Stock Option Plans, an optionee whose employment is terminated for "Cause" cannot exercise any Pinnacle Stock Options, even if they are vested, (c) the 2001 Stock Option Plan permits more forms of payment of the option price than the 1996 Stock Option Plan, which in turn permits more forms of payment of the option price than the 1993 Stock Option Plan, and (d) a number of technical changes have been made in the later Stock Option Plans, many of which reflect changes in tax and securities laws. The Stock Option Plans are administered and terms of option grants are established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under the Stock Option Plans, Pinnacle Stock Options alone or (under the 1993 and 1996 Stock Option Plans) coupled with stock appreciation rights may be granted to selected key employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. Pinnacle Stock Options become exercisable according to a vesting period as determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of grant and, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, expire on the earlier of one month after termination of 6 employment (three months in the case of an incentive stock option), six months after the death or permanent disability (one year in the case of an incentive stock option) of the optionee, or the expiration of the fixed option term set by the Compensation Committee at the grant date (not to exceed ten years from the grant date, or five years from the grant date in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of more than ten percent of the outstanding Pinnacle Common Stock). The exercise prices of all Pinnacle Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plans are determined by the Compensation Committee on the grant date, provided that the exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of Pinnacle Common Stock at the date of the grant (or not less than 110% of the fair market value of Pinnacle Common Stock at the date of the grant of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of more than ten percent of the outstanding Pinnacle Common Stock). Under the Stock Option Plans, as of April 24, 2002, there were approximately 1,719,000 shares subject to outstanding Pinnacle Stock Options. As of such date, options covering all of the shares eligible for issuance under the 1993 and 1996 Stock Option Plans had been granted and options covering approximately 562,000 shares had been granted under the 2001 Stock Option Plan. In addition, as of April 24, 2002, there were approximately 760,000 shares subject to outstanding options under the Boomtown and Casino Magic stock option plans. No additional options will be granted under these plans. Finally, as of April 24, 2002, there were 817,500 shares subject to outstanding options granted to Messrs. Alanis, Allen, Ostrow and Cliff Kortman pursuant to their respective employment agreements.

Director Compensation All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. Directors are entitled to receive an annual retainer of $25,000 per year plus $1,000 for each Board meeting attended, which they may take in cash or in deferred compensation under the Company's Amended and Restated Directors Deferred Compensation Plan as outlined below. In addition, non-employee directors are entitled to receive a minimum of 2,000 Pinnacle Stock Options (as defined below) per year, but no such options were granted in 2001. Members of the Executive Committee, Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, and directors serving on the Company's Compliance Committee (which monitors the Company's compliance with gaming laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates) receive an additional $1,000 for each committee meeting attended, and such amounts are also eligible for the Amended and Restated Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Amended and Restated Directors Deferred Compensation Plan Participation in the Company's Amended and Restated Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Directors Plan") is limited to directors of the Company, and each eligible director may elect to defer all or a portion of his annual retainer and any fees for meetings attended. Any such deferred compensation is credited to a deferred compensation account, either in cash or in shares of Pinnacle Common Stock, at each director's election. As of the date the director's compensation would otherwise have been paid, and depending on the director's election, the director's deferred compensation account will be credited with either (i) cash, (ii) the number of full and/or fractional shares of Pinnacle Common Stock obtained by dividing the amount of the director's compensation for the calendar quarter or month which he elected to defer, by the average of the closing price of Pinnacle Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last ten business days of the calendar quarter or month for which such compensation is payable or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Pinnacle Common Stock as described in clause (i) and (ii). All cash amounts credited to the director's deferred compensation account bear interest at an amount to be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. For 2001, no director elected a cash deferral under the Directors Plan. 8 If a director has elected to receive shares of Pinnacle Common Stock in lieu of his retainer and the Company declares a dividend, such director's deferred compensation account is credited at the end of each calendar quarter with the number of full and/or fractional shares of Pinnacle Common Stock obtained by dividing the dividends which would have been paid on the shares credited to the director's deferred compensation account as of the dividend record date, if any, occurring during such calendar quarter if such shares had been shares of issued and outstanding Pinnacle Common Stock on such date, by the closing price of Pinnacle Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date such dividend(s) was paid. In addition, if the Company declares a dividend payable in shares of Pinnacle Common Stock, the director's deferred compensation account is credited at the end of each calendar quarter with the number of full and/or fractional shares of Pinnacle Common Stock which such shares would have been entitled to if such shares had been shares of issued and outstanding Pinnacle Common Stock on the record date for such stock dividend(s). Participating directors do not have any interest in the cash and/or Pinnacle Common Stock credited to their deferred compensation accounts until distributed in accordance with the Directors Plan, nor do they have any voting rights with respect to such shares until shares credited to their deferred compensation accounts are distributed. The rights of a director to receive payments under the Directors Plan are no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Each participating director may elect to have the aggregate amount of cash and shares credited to his deferred compensation account distributed to him in one lump sum payment or in a number of approximately equal annual installments over a period of time not to exceed fifteen years. The lump sum payment or the first installment will be paid as of the first business day of the calendar quarter immediately following the cessation of the director's service as a director of the Company. Prior to the beginning of any calendar year, a director may elect to change the method of distribution, but amounts credited to a director's account prior to the effective date of such change may not be affected, but rather will be distributed in accordance with the election at the time such amounts were credited to the director's deferred compensation account.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions ------------------------------------------------------- Transactions in Connection with Terminated Merger Agreement In April 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with PH Casino Resorts ("PHCR"), a newly formed subsidiary of Harveys Casino Resorts, and Pinnacle Acquisition Corporation ("Pinnacle Acq Corp"), a newly formed subsidiary of PHCR, pursuant to which PHCR would have acquired by merger (the "Merger") all of the outstanding capital stock of Pinnacle Entertainment for cash consideration (the "Merger Agreement"). Certain members of the Company's management were expected to have equity interests in PHCR if the Merger had been consummated. Consummation of the Merger was subject to numerous conditions, including PHCR obtaining the necessary financing for the transaction and regulatory approvals. In January 2001, the Company announced that it had been notified by PHCR that PHCR did not intend to further extend the outside closing date (previously extended to January 31, 2001) of the Merger. Since all of the conditions to consummation of the Merger would not be met by such date, the Company, PHCR and Pinnacle Acq Corp mutually agreed that the Merger Agreement would be terminated. Other Transactions On June 2, 1998, the Company and R.D. Hubbard Enterprises, Inc. (Hubbard Enterprises), which is wholly owned by Mr. Hubbard, entered into a new Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement. The former agreement was entered into in November 1993. The June 2, 1998 Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement is identical to the former agreement in all aspects, except for the type of aircraft covered by the agreement. The Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement expired on December 31, 1999, and automatically renews each month unless written notice of 12 termination is given by either party at least two weeks before a renewal date. The Company reimburses Hubbard Enterprises for expenses incurred as a result of the Company's use of the aircraft, which totaled approximately $55,000 in 2001, $97,000 in 2000,and $176,000 in 1999. On August 31, 1998, the Company received a promissory note for up to $3,500,000 from Paul R. Alanis. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had loaned Mr. Alanis $3,232,000, who used the funds to purchase 300,000 shares of Pinnacle Common Stock. The principal amount of the promissory note, along with accrued interest, was paid in full in June 1999. Timothy J. Parrott purchased 270,738 shares of Boomtown common stock in connection with Boomtown's 1988 acquisition of Boomtown Hotel & Casino, Inc. (which operates Boomtown Reno). Mr. Parrott paid an aggregate purchase price for the common stock of $222,000, of which $1,000 was paid in cash and $221,000 was paid by a promissory note secured by pledge to Boomtown of all of the shares owned by Mr. Parrott. As of October 31, 1998, Mr. Parrott resigned his position as Chairman of Boomtown, and was retained by the Company as a consultant to provide services relating to gaming and other business issues. Mr. Parrott was retained for a three-year period ending October 31, 2001, with an annual retainer of $350,000 with health and disability benefits equivalent to those he received as Chairman of Boomtown. Mr. Parrott's $221,000 note was forgiven in three equal parts on each anniversary of the consulting agreement. Marlin Torguson, who beneficially owned approximately 21.5% of the outstanding common shares of Casino Magic prior to the Company's acquisition of Casino Magic, agreed, in connection with such acquisition, to vote his Casino Magic shares in favor of the acquisition by the Company. In addition, Mr. Torguson agreed to continue to serve as an employee of Casino Magic until October 15, 2001 and, during such period, not to compete with the Company or Casino Magic in any jurisdiction in which either the Company or Casino Magic operates. The Company issued to Mr. Torguson 60,000 shares of the Company's Pinnacle Common Stock as compensation for his three-year service as an employee, and paid him $300,000 per year, during a three-year period, for his non-compete agreement. In addition, the Company issued Mr. Torguson 30,000 Pinnacle Stock Options to acquire Pinnacle Common Stock as of the October 15, 1998 acquisition of Casino Magic, priced at the closing price of Pinnacle Common Stock on that date. All of the foregoing payments have been made to Mr. Torguson as of December 31, 2001. 13 Signatures Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
