Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 7, 2011, Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Gaming Capital, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., to refinance $11.0 million of the existing debt of the Company and two of its subsidiaries, namely, NG Washington, LLC and NG Washington II Holdings, LLC.  Proceeds of the $11.0 million loan were used to retire (1) outstanding amounts under the existing indebtedness of NG Washington, LLC, in the amount of $4.0 million, and NG Washington II Holdings, LLC, in the amount of $5.0 million, and (2) to retire $2.0 million of the Company’s $6.0 million current senior debt.  The $11.0 million loan, which is due October 7, 2014, is subject to quarterly amortization payments of $250,000 and bears an interest rate of (1) the 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR, at the discretion of the Company, plus 9.5%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.25%, or (2) Prime Rate plus 8.5%.  Interest is due monthly.  The loan is secured by all assets of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.  The terms of the Credit Agreement contain, among others, customary events of default, including nonpayment when due of principal or any interest or fees or other amounts owing within specified grace periods, and failure to comply with certain affirmative or negative covenants, including certain financial covenants.

On October 7, 2011, the Company entered into amended loan documents with Louise H. Rogers, the Company’s senior lender, pursuant to which the Company retired $2.0 million of the $6.0 million that was due June 30, 2013.  The amended loan documents extended the maturity date of the remaining outstanding balance on the loan until June 30, 2015 while the loan is subject to an annual interest rate of 11.5%.  The amended loan documents provide for a security interest in, and pledge of, assets of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and contain customary events of default, including nonpayment when due of principal or interest on any loan, failure to comply with certain affirmative or negative covenants and failure to perform any obligation within specified grace periods.

The press release issued by the Company on October 10, 2011 announcing the above-mentioned transactions is filed herewith.
