Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 18, 2011, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NG South Dakota, LLC, Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase all of the outstanding stock of A.G. Trucano, Son & Grandsons, Inc. (“A.G. Trucano”), a slot route operator based in Deadwood, South Dakota, for a total purchase price of $5,175,000.  The purchase price consists of $3,250,000 in cash, $1,825,000 in seller’s paper and $100,000 of the Company’s restricted common stock.  The seller’s paper will consist of two promissory notes to be issued by NG South Dakota, LLC at the closing of the transaction, both maturing on the fifth anniversary of the closing date.  The first promissory note, in the amount of $1,425,000, will bear an annual interest rate of 6% and the other, in the amount of $400,000, will bear no interest.  The promissory notes will be secured with the assets and pledge of the stock of A.G. Trucano.

A.G. Trucano is a slot route operator that has been in business since gaming was legalized in South Dakota in 1989.  A.G. Trucano currently operates over 900 slots at 20 locations which represents approximately 24% of the slots in Deadwood.

Closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including licensing, completion of financing and necessary approvals, among other conditions.

Copies of the Stock Purchase Agreement and all of the related Exhibits will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2011.
