Z Capital Partners, L.L.C. SC 13D/A Beneficial ownership report (amended)

Exhibit 99.19

June 29, 2015

By Email and Federal Express

The Special Committee of the Board of Directors

Attention:  Matthew Doheny, Chairman

Affinity Gaming

3755 Breakthrough Way, Suite 300

Las Vegas, NV 89135

Re:  Affinity Gaming Proposal

Dear Matt:

Z Capital Partners, L.L.C., on behalf of itself and its affiliated investment funds and/or designees (“Z Capital”), is pleased to submit a proposal to acquire all the outstanding common shares of Affinity Gaming, a Nevada corporation (“Affinity Gaming” or the “Company”), that are not already owned by Z Capital.

We believe our proposal provides maximum value and an opportunity to market test the transaction to fulfill the fiduciary duties of the Company’s Board of Directors to Affinity Gaming’s stockholders.  Absent a transaction of the type we are now proposing, we do not think there is any opportunity for Affinity Gaming’s stockholders to see meaningful appreciation in their equity value, or to realize that value in the foreseeable future.

Purchase Price

Z Capital is prepared to offer a purchase price of $11.50 per share in cash for all of the outstanding common shares of Affinity Gaming not already owned by Z Capital.  We have separately provided to the Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) our financial analysis with respect to the proposed purchased price, which represents a compelling valuation of the Company at 8x 2015E EBITDA consistent with the Company’s most recent guidance.  We believe that the Company’s stockholders will find the combination of value, certainty and speed in our offer extremely attractive, particularly in light of the proposed “go shop” described below and the structural challenges and the difficult operating environment that Affinity Gaming continues to face.

Transaction Process, Timing and Structure

As you know, Z Capital has in-depth knowledge of Affinity Gaming’s history, business operations and management team.  We are prepared to initiate and complete the required confirmatory due diligence on a rapid basis, and with the Company’s cooperation we believe that we can finish such due diligence within 30 days following the execution of the confidentiality

156554.2 Two Conway Park · 150 Field Drive · Suite 300 · Lake Forest, IL 60045 · Tel. (847) 235-8100 · Fax (847) 235-8111

1330 Avenue of the Americas · Suite 1100 · New York, NY 10019 · Tel. (212) 595-8400 · Fax (212) 595-9200

agreement (which includes a 60-day “standstill” provision) and 30-day exclusivity agreement that we have separately provided to the Special Committee.

We would anticipate that definitive agreements containing customary terms and conditions could be expeditiously negotiated and finalized.  To that end, we have prepared a draft merger agreement, which is attached to this letter and which we are prepared to negotiate and finalize promptly once the Company returns to us executed copies of the attached confidentiality and exclusivity agreements.

The draft merger agreement provides for a 30-day “go shop” period during which Affinity Gaming and its advisors can solicit superior proposals, and subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Company can terminate the merger agreement to enter into such a superior proposal if the Company pays Z Capital a customary termination fee equal to four percent (4%) of the Company’s equity value.

Financing

As reflected in the draft merger agreement, the transaction would be financed by equity capital provided by funds managed and advised by Z Capital, as well as debt financing from sources with which Z Capital has a long-standing relationship.  We would expect to receive binding debt and equity financing commitments in connection with the execution of definitive transaction documents.

Significantly, in order to provide additional certainty to the Company and its stockholders, we have provided for a reverse termination fee equal to four percent (4%) of the Company’s equity value if the merger agreement is terminated due to a material breach by Z Capital or the failure by Z Capital to close the transaction when required under the merger agreement.

Necessary Approvals

As reflected in the draft merger agreement, in addition to a stockholder vote and other customary closing conditions, closing of the transaction would be subject to receipt of customary antitrust and other required regulatory approvals, including approval by all the relevant gaming authorities.  Given the existing approvals for our current ownership in all jurisdictions in which Affinity Gaming operates, we do not anticipate significant obstacles or lengthy delay in obtaining the approvals needed to consummate this transaction.

Please understand that our obligation with respect to our proposed acquisition of Affinity Gaming would exist only upon the completion of confirmatory due diligence and negotiation, execution and delivery of mutually acceptable definitive agreements.

We are available immediately to discuss the terms of our proposal and to negotiate and finalize the merger agreement and other definitive agreements with you.

Our proposal expires at 5:00 PM Pacific time on July 7, 2015.

We hope to receive a favorable response from you promptly.

Sincerely,

Z Capital Partners, L.L.C.

At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Paying Agent cash in an amount sufficient to make all payments pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments due pursuant to Section 2.1(a), except as provided in this Agreement. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, incurred by it in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Per Share Merger Consideration and other amounts contemplated by this Article II. (b) Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second Business Day following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding certificate or outstanding certificates (“Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1(a), (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates and a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent and with such other provisions as Parent and the Company shall reasonably agree) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1(a).
