Item 8.01 Other Events.

Rotate Black, Inc. and Rotate Black Gaming, Inc. (the “Company”, “RBI” “we” or “our”) has reached a settlement with 3D Associates, LLC, 10717, LLC and Charles Petri (“3D”) with regards to an action brought by 3D against RBI and the Seneca Nation of Indians (the "Seneca Nation").
 
Background
 
In 2008, RBI acquired 63 acres of property in Sullivan County, NY (the "Property") from 3D for $500,000. RBI subsequently transferred the Property to the Seneca Nation pursuant to its agreements with the Seneca Nation.  3D has filed a lawsuit against the Seneca Nation and RBI to recover the Property and other claims.
 
Settlement Agreement

RBI has entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with 3D wherein 3D has agreed to drop its lawsuit against RBI and forever waive any and all claims against RBI. In consideration for this, RBI has agreed to pay 3D ten dollars ($10) and to grant 3D the right to buy the Property from RBI for $500,000, in the event that RBI is successful in re-acquiring the 3D Property from the Seneca Nation.

Reference is made to the attached exhibit for a full understanding of the Settlement Agreement.
