Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed inSchedule 1 hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), $325,000,000 principal amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors listed inSchedule 2 hereto and marked with an asterisk (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by each of the Guarantors (the “Guarantees”).

Concurrently with the offering of the Notes, the Company will redeem its existing 7.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “7.5% Notes”) (the “Redemption”).

The Company and the Guarantors hereby confirm their agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Notes, as follows:

1.Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-179890), including a prospectus, relating to the Notes. Such registration statement, as amended at the time it becomes effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under

the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (the “Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means each prospectus included in such registration statement (and any amendments thereto) before it becomes effective, any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430 Information, and any preliminary prospectus supplement thereto filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act relating to the Notes, and the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with the confirmation of sales of the Notes, including any prospectus supplement thereto relating to the Notes. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be and any reference to “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

At or prior to the time when sales of the Notes were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the following information shall have been prepared (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated March 5, 2012, and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex C hereto as constituting part of the Time of Sale Information.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any of the Notes except upon payment for all the Notes to be purchased as provided herein.

use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (iv) with respect to land held for development, restrictions ordinarily expected to be resolved in the development process, or (v) such as are not (individually or in the aggregate) reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and any real property and buildings held under lease or sublease by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as (i) do not interfere with, the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) are not (individually or in the aggregate) reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has received any written notice of any claim adverse to its ownership of any real or personal property or of any claim against the continued possession of any real property, whether owned or held under lease or sublease by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except as would not reasonably be likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(nn) The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries carry, or are covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company reasonably considers adequate for the conduct of their business and the value of their properties and as is reasonably customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries.

(oo) Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors intends, or intends to permit any of the Guarantors, to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and the amounts of cash to be received by the Company or any the its Guarantors and the timing and the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of the Company’s indebtedness or the indebtedness of each Guarantor.

(pp) No Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such Restricted Subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying to the Company any loan or advances to such Restricted Subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such Restricted Subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, except as described in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(qq) Immediately after each of the Guarantors has entered into the Guarantee to which it is a party, (i) the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of such Guarantor, (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Guarantor on its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, become absolute and matured, (iii) such Guarantor will be able to pay its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, and (iv) such Guarantor will not have an unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

As used in this paragraph, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date (i) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets of the Company is not less than the total amount required to pay the liabilities of the Company on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured; (ii) the Company is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business; (iii) assuming consummation of the issuance of the Notes as contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, the Company is not incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; (iv) the Company is not engaged in any business or transaction, and does not propose to engage in any business or transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which the Company is engaged; and (v) the Company is not a defendant in any civil action that would reasonably be expected to result in a judgment that the Company is or would become unable to satisfy.

(tt) The Company is not an ineligible issuer and is a well-known seasoned issuer, in each case as defined under the Securities Act, in each case at the times specified in the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Notes.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and delivered to the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, as to matters covered thereby (and is subject to the limitations therein, if any), to each Underwriter. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6 hereof, counsel to the Company and counsel to the Underwriters will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, warranties and agreements and the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to such reliance.

4.Further Agreements of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally covenant and agree with each Underwriter that:

the Company of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (viii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Notes for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Notes and, if any such order is issued, will obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(e) If at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which any of the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement any of the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to any of the Time of Sale Information (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in any of the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading or so that any of the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

(f) If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law.

(g) The Company will qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution of the Notes and the Guarantees;provided that neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors shall be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) The Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Representatives as soon as practicable an earning statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.

(i) During the period of 90 days from the date hereof, the Company and each of the Guarantors will not, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of the Underwriters, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, directly or indirectly, issue, offer, sell, agree to issue, offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or duties which is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future) any debt securities of the Company or any Guarantor with terms substantially similar (including having equal rank) to the Notes (other than the Notes);provided,however, nothing contained in this Section 4(i) shall obligate the Company to retain J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as its initial purchaser or underwriter.

(j) The Company and the Guarantors will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes being sold by the Company as set forth in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of proceeds.”

(k) The Company and the Guarantors will not (and cause its affiliates not to) take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which constitutes or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or the Guarantors to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes or Guarantees and neither the Company, the Guarantors nor any of its affiliated purchasers (as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act) will take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

(l) The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

States or such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions, including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities after the date hereof (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such), as to make it in each such case, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Notes.

7.Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Notes and Guarantees), to which that Underwriter, affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) in any Blue Sky application or other document prepared or executed by the Company or any Guarantor (or based upon any written information furnished by the Company or any Guarantor) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Notes under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”) or (C) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Notes (“Marketing Materials”), including any roadshow or

investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials, any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Notes, the Guarantees or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Underwriter through its gross negligence or willful misconduct), and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;provided,however, that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or any Marketing Materials, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 7(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Guarantors and their respective directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company, the Guarantors or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or any Marketing Materials, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or any Marketing Materials, any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with

written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 7(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company, any Guarantor and any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under paragraphs (a) and (b) above, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action;provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under paragraphs (a) and (b) above except to the extent the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or a material diminution thereof) and,provided,further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under paragraphs (a) and (b) above. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation;provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the indemnified parties against the indemnifying party under this Section 7 if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnified party on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company and the Guarantors. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company. No indemnifying party shall (A) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to

the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the indemnified party, or (B) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that any indemnified party was not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this Section 7, the indemnified party will promptly return all sums that that had been advanced pursuant hereto.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under such paragraph in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Notes and Guarantees or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Notes purchased under this Agreement, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Guarantors or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the net proceeds deemed to be received by the Company shall be deemed to be also for the benefit of the Guarantors, and information supplied by the Company shall also be deemed to have been supplied by the Guarantors. The Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability,

or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Notes exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

(e) The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the statements relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in, the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company or any Guarantor by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or any Marketing Materials.

8.Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives, by notice given to and received by the Company, prior to delivery of and payment for the Notes if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Section 6(t) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

9.Defaulting Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the Notes that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date in the respective proportions which the principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter inSchedule 1 hereto bears to the total principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters inSchedule 1 hereto;provided, however, that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes on the Closing Date if the total principal amount of the Notes that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 10.0% of the total principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the principal amount of the Notes that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other Underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other Underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives does not elect to purchase the Notes that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or

the Guarantors, except that the Company and Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed inSchedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Notes that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or Guarantors for damages caused by its default. If other Underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the Representatives or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full Business Days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement.

10.Expenses. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally, agree, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay all costs, expenses, fees and taxes incident to and in connection with (a) the preparation and printing of certificates for the Notes; (b) the preparation and printing of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including any exhibits thereto), and any amendment or supplement thereto; (c) the distribution of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including any exhibits thereto), all as provided in this Agreement; (d) any required review by FINRA of the terms of sale of the Notes or Guarantees (including related reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters); (e) the qualification of the Notes, the Guarantees, under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in Section 4(g) and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including related reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters); (f) the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, the counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees; (g) all expenses in connection with the approval of the Notes by DTC for “book-entry” transfer; and (h) all expenses in connection with the rating of the Notes. The Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to pay for any of the Underwriters’ costs and expenses (other than those as described in clauses (d) and (e) above), including, without limitation, (i) the fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters (other than as set forth above) and (ii) the “roadshow” expenses of the Underwriters;provided,however, if the sale of Notes pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall not be consummated because the conditions in Section 6 (other than Section 6(m)) hereof are not satisfied, or because this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 8 hereof, or by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or any of the Guarantors to perform any undertaking or satisfy any condition of this Agreement or to comply with any of the terms hereof on its part to be performed, unless such failure, refusal or inability is due primarily to the default or omission of any Underwriter, the Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally shall reimburse the several Underwriters for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, marketing and proposing to market the Notes or in contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder; but the Company and the Guarantors shall not in any event be liable to any of the several Underwriters for damages on account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale by them of the Notes.

11.Research Analyst Independence. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company, the Guarantors and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company and the Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company or any of the Guarantors may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company or the Guarantors by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

12.No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, sale of the Notes or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company, the Guarantors and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists; (ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Company or the Guarantors, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Notes, and such relationship between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company or the Guarantors shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors hereby waive any claims that the Company or the Guarantors may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement; the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus were filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act on or before the date specified therein; and, to our knowledge, no order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act has been received by the Company and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or in connection with the offering is pending or threatened by the Commission.

2. The Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements and notes thereto, related schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion) comply on their face as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act; and the Indenture comply on their face as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. The Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

3. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus. The Company is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction listed opposite the Company’s name onSchedule A to this opinion.

4. Each Delaware Guarantor is an entity duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full limited liability company power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus. Each Guarantor is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, in each jurisdiction listed opposite such Guarantor’s name onSchedule A to this opinion.

5. The Company has the full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes and to perform its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, the full corporate power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Notes, as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

6. Each Delaware Guarantor has the full limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and their respective Guarantees and to perform their obligations thereunder.

Exhibit B-1-1

7. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Delaware Guarantor.

8. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Delaware Guarantor and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms.

9. The Notes have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters by the Company and duly executed by the Company and, when issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will be the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

10. The Guarantees of each Delaware Guarantor have been duly authorized and executed by each Delaware Guarantor. The Guarantees, when delivered in accordance with the terms of each of the Indenture, will, upon the due execution, issuance and authentication of the Notes in accordance with the terms of each of the Indenture and the delivery to and payment therefor by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, and receipt of the agreed consideration by each of the Guarantors, be the valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms.

11. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the Guarantors, the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder, the consummation by the Company and the Guarantors of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including the issuance of the Notes and the consummation of the Redemption) and the use of the proceeds therefrom in the manner set forth under the caption “Use of proceeds” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, do not and will not (A) result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or the Guarantors pursuant to any agreement or instrument listed onSchedule B hereto (we, with your permission, have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company as to financial calculations relevant to this opinion), (B) violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or operating agreement or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any Delaware Guarantor, or (C) violate any federal, Delaware or New York law, statute, rule or regulation customarily applicable to offerings of this type or, to our knowledge, any judgment, order, writ or decree of any government instrumentality or court applicable to or having jurisdiction over the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective assets or properties (assuming for purposes of this paragraph, compliance with all applicable state securities or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion) except for, with respect to the foregoing clauses (A) and (C), such violations, breaches, defaults, liens, charges and encumbrances that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Exhibit B-1-2

12. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing, qualification, license or permit of or with any court or any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental authority or agency of the United States, New York or Delaware (that is customarily applicable to offerings of this type), is required for the Company’s or each Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents on or before the Closing Date or the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees, except for (1) such as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Notes by the Underwriters (as to which we express no opinion), (2) such as have been made or obtained under the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and (3) such as are required by FINRA.

13. The reports filed under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements and notes thereto, related schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which no opinion is rendered), and in the case of any such incorporated report that was subsequently amended, such report as amended by the subsequently filed amendment, when they were filed with the Commission, complied on their face as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

14. The statements under the captions “Description of Other Indebtedness,” “Description of Notes” and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, insofar as they purport to describe or summarize certain provisions of the agreements, statutes, regulations, legal matters or securities referred to therein, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects.

15. The Company and each of the Guarantors are not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

16. Assuming the proceeds of the sale of the Notes are used for the purposes set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, such use of proceeds will not violate the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

17. To our knowledge, there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings before any governmental agency or body or any court against or affecting the Company or any of the Guarantors or any of their respective properties that would be required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K of the rules and regulations issued under the Securities Act that are not so disclosed. To our knowledge, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or the Guarantors is a party or of which any property of the Company or any Guarantor is the subject which are likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, to our knowledge, no such proceedings have been overtly threatened in writing by governmental authorities or by others.

Exhibit B-1-3

18. The Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

19. To our knowledge, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any person granting such person the right to require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company or the Guarantors as a result of the sale of the Notes pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and representatives of the Underwriters and their counsel at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel does not pass upon, or assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto (except to the extent stated in paragraphs 14 and 18 above), during the course of such participation, no facts came to the attention of such counsel which caused such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated by reference therein), at the time of its effective date (including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale (which such counsel may assume to be the date of the Underwriting Agreement) contains or contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as of its date and the Closing Date contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, it being understood that we express no belief with respect to the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto.

1. Each of the Nevada Subsidiary Guarantors has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, with limited liability company power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, including the power and authority to issue the Guarantees.

2. Based solely on our review of a Certificate of Existence with Status in Good Standing issued by the Nevada Secretary of State, the Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the State of Nevada.

3. Each of the Transaction Documents to which each Nevada Subsidiary Guarantor is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Nevada Subsidiary Guarantor.

4. The issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company and the Guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors, the execution and delivery by each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the Transactions do not violate (a) the Governing Documents, (b) any Applicable Nevada Order, or (c) any Applicable Nevada Law.

5. The statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the captions “Risk Factors – Risks related to our business – Our industry is highly regulated, which makes us dependent on obtaining and maintaining gaming licenses and subjects us to potentially significant fines and penalties” and “Government regulations and gaming issues – Nevada”, and the statements contained in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, under the caption “Government Regulation and Gaming Issues – Nevada”, which is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, have been reviewed by us and, to the extent such statements constitute summaries of the Nevada Gaming Laws or other Nevada legal matters, they are accurate summaries in all material respects.

6. No Nevada Governmental Approval is required for the execution and delivery by the Company or any Nevada Subsidiary Guarantor of, and the performance by the Company or any Nevada Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the consummation of the Transactions, or the issuance or sale of the Notes, and the Guarantees to the Underwriters, except (a) such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect at the Closing Date and (b) as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

7. With the Company’s consent, based solely on an inquiry of those attorneys currently with the firm who have rendered legal services to the Company and the Nevada Subsidiary Guarantors since January 1, 2010, we confirm that we are not currently representing the Company or the Nevada Subsidiary Guarantors in any pending litigation.

Exhibit B-2-1

8. To our knowledge, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there are no regulatory proceedings pending before the Nevada Gaming Authorities to which the Company or any of the Nevada Subsidiary Guarantors is a party, which are likely to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

Exhibit B-2-2

EXHIBIT B-3

Based solely on the Certificates of Existence and Authorization identified on Schedule I, (a) each of the Company and the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary is duly qualified and authorized to do business as a foreign corporation and foreign limited liability company, respectively, under the laws of the State of Indiana; and (b) Ogle Haus is validly existing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Indiana, and has filed its most recent biennial report required by Indiana law with the Indiana Secretary of State, and no notice of withdrawal, dissolution, or expiration with respect to Ogle Haus has been filed with the Indiana Secretary of State or has taken place. Ogle Haus has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and conduct its business in the State of Indiana as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, and the Prospectus.

2. Based solely upon the Officer’s Certificate identified on Schedule I, (a) all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of Ogle Haus have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; (b) all outstanding ownership interests of Ogle Haus are owned directly by the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary; and (c) none of the outstanding ownership interests of Ogle Haus were issued in violation of any preemptive rights provided by Indiana law or the Operating Agreement for Ogle Haus.

3. No authorization, approval, consent, or order of, the Indiana Gaming Commission or any other governmental body, agency, or official of the State of Indiana, is required in connection with the offering, issuance, or sale of the Notes to the Underwriters or the execution by the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary and Ogle Haus of the Guarantees or to make valid and legally binding the execution, delivery and performance by the Company, the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary or Ogle Haus of the Operative Documents to which it is a party, except (a) such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect, (b) such periodic reports and informational filings to which the Company, the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary, or Ogle Haus are subject generally, (c) such as are required under the Indiana Gaming Laws which have been obtained or waived, (d) such as are required as a condition of the Interim Approval identified on Schedule I, and (e) such as may be required under applicable state securities laws or regulations.

4. The statements in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, and the Prospectus under the captions “Risk Factors – Risks related to our business – Our industry is highly regulated, which makes us dependent on obtaining and maintaining gaming licenses and subjects us to potentially significant fines and penalties” and “Government regulations and gaming issues” (relating to Indiana Gaming Laws) and the statements in Exhibit 99.1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 under the caption “Government Regulation and Gaming Issues – Indiana” which are incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, and the Prospectus (except for financial and operating data included therein, as to which we express no opinion), insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the Indiana Gaming Laws or other Indiana legal matters, are correct in all material respects.

Exhibit B-3-1

5. (i) Each of the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary and Ogle Haus has obtained all approvals, consents, orders, and authorizations from the Indiana Gaming Commission necessary or required in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the execution of the Guarantee by the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary and Ogle Haus, subject to the limitations imposed by the Indiana Gaming Commission as set forth in the Interim Approval identified on Schedule I, and (ii) based solely on the Officer’s Certificate identified on Schedule I, the Indiana Gaming Subsidiary has received and presently holds a riverboat owner’s license from the Indiana Gaming Commission and such license is valid and in full force and effect. To our knowledge, no event has occurred which currently, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to result in a revocation, modification, suspension, or termination of such license.

6. Each of the Operative Documents to which Ogle Haus is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Ogle Haus.

7. The execution and delivery by Ogle Haus of the Operative Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by Ogle Haus of its agreements under such documents, do not violate Ogle Haus’ Operating Agreement or Indiana Gaming Laws.

Exhibit B-3-2

EXHIBIT B-4

Form of Opinion of Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann L.L.C., Louisiana Counsel for the Company

1. Based solely upon certificates of existence and good standing issued by the Louisiana Secretary of State, (a) Louisiana-I Gaming, a Louisiana Partnership in Commendam, is a Louisiana partnership in commendam that is validly existing under the laws of Louisiana (the concept of good standing is not applicable to a partnership in Louisiana), (b) PNK (Baton Rouge) Partnership is a Louisiana partnership that is validly existing under the laws of Louisiana (the concept of good standing is not applicable to a partnership in Louisiana), (c) PNK (Bossier City), Inc. is a corporation that is validly existing under the laws of Louisiana and is in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State, (d) PNK (Lake Charles), L.L.C. is a limited liability company that is validly existing under the laws of Louisiana and is in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State, and (e) PNK (SCB), L.L.C. is a limited liability company that is validly existing under the laws of Louisiana and is in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State. Each of the Louisiana Guarantors has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company (as applicable) power and authority to conduct its business and to own or lease its properties as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party.

2. Each of the Operative Documents to which each Louisiana Guarantor is a party has been duly authorized by such Louisiana Guarantor, and each of the Operative Documents to which each Louisiana Guarantor is a party has been executed and delivered by such Louisiana Guarantor.

3. The issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company and the Guarantees by the Louisiana Guarantors, the execution and delivery by the Company and the Louisiana Guarantors of the Operative Documents to which they are parties, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents do not violate any provision of such Louisiana Guarantor’s certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, partnership agreement, articles of organization or operating agreement, or other formation and organization documents (as applicable) in effect on the date of this legal opinion, and no such action by the Company or the Louisiana Guarantors will result in any violation of any applicable Louisiana law in effect as of the date of this opinion letter which in our experience is customarily applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Operative Documents (other than state securities or blue sky laws as to which we express no opinion and have assumed for purposes of this paragraph compliance therewith).

4. The statements in (a) the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the captions (i) “Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business – Our industry is highly regulated, which makes us dependent on obtaining and maintaining gaming licenses and subjects us to potentially significant fines and penalties” and (ii) “Government Regulations and Gaming Issues,” and in (b) Exhibit 99.1 (relating to Government Regulation and Gaming Issues) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale

Information and the Prospectus (except for financial and operating data included therein, as to which we express no opinion), insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the laws and regulations of the State of Louisiana, including gaming laws and regulations, are correct in all material respects.

5. No consent or filing based on law or legal requirements in the State of Louisiana as in effect on the date of this legal opinion (and as in our experience is customarily applicable to transactions of this kind) is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company or any Louisiana Guarantor of the Operative Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, or the offering, issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees to the Underwriters, except (a) such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect as of the date of this legal opinion, (b) as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, (c) as otherwise described in this legal opinion with respect to post Closing Date notices and filings, and (d) as may be required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and regulations (as to which we express no opinion).

6. To our knowledge, without investigation or inquiry, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in Louisiana against the Company or any of the Louisiana Guarantors, which are likely to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

4. Each of the Operative Documents (including the Guarantees) has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Minnesota Guarantor.
