Item 2.04
Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

As The Majestic Star Casino, LLC (the “Company”) has previously reported, an Event of Default exists under the Company’s $300.0 million of 9 ½% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), $200.0 million of 9 ¾% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Notes”) and $80.0 million Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Senior Secured Credit Facility”).
 
On December 3, 2008, the trustee for the holders of the Senior Secured Notes (the “Trustee”) sent the administrative agent for the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Agent”) a default notice. On December 11, 2008, the Agent sent the Trustee a “Standstill Notice” pursuant to the terms of that certain Intercreditor and Lien Subordination Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2003 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Intercreditor Agreement”). As such, the Trustee and the holders of the Senior Secured Notes were prohibited from taking action against the collateral during the 180-day standstill period. Upon expiration of the initial Standstill Notice the Trustee and Agent entered into standstill extension agreements, with the most recent extension expiring on August 10, 2009.

On October 20, 2009, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee sent to the Agent a notice that the Trustee and/or certain holders of the Senior Secured Notes intend to exercise one or more of their default related rights and remedies in respect of the collateral under the senior secured indenture, related indenture loan documents and/or applicable law on October 30, 2009.

Further, the Trustee, on behalf of itself and holders of the Senior Secured Notes, reserved all of their rights  and remedies under the indenture, the Senior Secured Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement and applicable law, including , without limitation, the right to take any action with respect to the issuers, the guarantors and/or the collateral not prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement and the right to forbear from exercising  any default-related right or remedy in the sole discretion of the Trustee or holders of the Senior Secured Notes, as applicable.
