Affinity Gaming Announces Pricing of $200.0 Million Senior Notes Due 2018

LAS VEGAS, NV; May 4, 2012— Affinity Gaming, LLC announced today that it and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Affinity Gaming Finance Corp., have priced an offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior notes due 2018.  The sale of the notes is expected to be completed on or about May 9, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.  At such time, subject to customary closing conditions, Affinity Gaming intends to enter into a new senior secured credit facility, including a new term loan facility, to replace its existing senior secured credit facility.

The notes were priced at par.  The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Affinity Gaming and Affinity Gaming Finance Corp. and will be guaranteed by all of Affinity Gaming’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its new senior secured credit facility.  Affinity Gaming expects to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with proceeds from its new senior secured credit facility, to terminate and repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under its existing senior secured credit facility, including any prepayment premiums, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing and for general corporate purposes, including strategic acquisitions.

The notes and related guarantees are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or, outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.  This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities.  The offering of the notes is not being made to any person in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.  Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.  The offering has not been approved by any gaming regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any of Affinity Gaming’s casino operations.
