On October 30, 2001, the
Louisiana Gaming Control Board granted us a gaming license to operate slot machines at Delta Downs. However, on November 2, 2001, Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries filed an action in state district court in Louisiana
against the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, and later named Delta Downs to the action, seeking to enjoin the legal effect of our gaming license to operate slot machines at Delta Downs. In October 2002, the district court dismissed the Isle of
Capri’s outstanding claims to permanently enjoin the legal effect of our license to operate slot machines at our Delta Downs property, as well as all other outstanding claims, with prejudice.
