Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. (“JEI,” the “Company,” or “we”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jacobs Investments, Inc. (“JII”). On April 2, 2012, we acquired a parking lot business on the west bank of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, from Nautica Peninsula Land, an affiliated party. Additionally, on June 29, 2012, we acquired Cash Magic Amite, LLC (“Amite”), a video poker truck stop in Louisiana, which was previously wholly owned by another JII subsidiary, Gameco Holdings, Inc. (“Gameco”), an entity under common control and with common management. These acquisitions have been accounted for as combinations of entities under common control. Therefore, the acquisitions have been recorded at the historical cost bases in the assets and liabilities transferred and prior years are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. As a result, we are providing consolidated financial statements including our interests in the financial results of the parking lot and Amite businesses acquired for all periods presented.

Included herein as Exhibit 99.3 are the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. These audited consolidated financial statements give retrospective effect to these acquisitions. These audited consolidated financial statements replace Item 8 and the consolidated financial statements of JEI included in Item 15 in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012. Also, included herein as Exhibit 99.1 is the Selected Financial Data, which replaces Item 6 in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012. Included herein as Exhibit 99.2 is Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which relates to the audited consolidated financial statements, and replaces Item 7 in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012. Also, included herein as Exhibit 12 is the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges, which replaces Exhibit 12 in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012.

Filed herewith is the following:
