EXPLANATORY NOTE
In response to oral comments received from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff") of the Securities Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), Affinity Gaming ("Affinity," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") is hereby supplementing its definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Commission on April 18, 2013 (the "Proxy Statement"). This supplement clarifies that the second paragraph at the top of page 16 of the Proxy Statement, where we noted the statements that "Such Stockholders expressed to the Board that they supported the Proposed Nominees and the proposal to increase the size of the Board from five to seven seats. Such Stockholders also expressed their opposition to the nomination of Z Capital's nominees" is in no way intended to mean that there are any formal agreements or arrangements with respect to how any such stockholder will vote at our upcoming Annual Meeting. We value the opinions of our stockholders and while we did have discussions with certain stockholders on how they viewed the competing proposals offered by certain entities affiliated with Z Capital Partners, L.L.C. and by certain entities affiliated with Silver Point Capital, L.P., there is no guarantee as to how any such stockholder will actually vote.
