On May 15, 2009, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the subsequent interim period through May 15, 2009, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with E&Y regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements (consequently, no written report to the Company or oral advice was provided that E&Y concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue); or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
