Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 29, 2010, Casino Magic Corp. and Casino Magic Management Services Corp. (collectively, the “Sellers”) entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Casino Club S.A., Da Silvano S.A., Compañía Gerenciadora de Inversiones S.A. and Correon S.A. (collectively, the “Buyers”). The Sellers are the sole shareholders of Casino Magic Neuquén S.A. and are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”). Casino Magic Neuquén S.A. operates the Company’s Argentine businesses.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Buyers agreed to purchase from the Sellers all of the outstanding shares of Casino Magic Neuquén S.A. for a total purchase price of approximately $40 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments, the approval of the Government of the Province of Neuquén and customary closing conditions. The purchase price is to be paid in two installments. The first installment of $8 million is to be deposited into escrow and the second installment of approximately $32 million it to be paid on the closing date. If the closing of the Agreement does not occur due to the failure of the Sellers to comply with their obligations under the Agreement, then the Sellers shall pay to the Buyers liquidated damages of $3 million.
