Item 5.02                                           Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On February 28, 2014, James V. Stanton resigned from the board of directors of MTR Gaming Group, Inc. (the “Company”) for personal reasons.  Mr. Stanton’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with management relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

Item 5.03                                           Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

In light of Mr. Stanton’s resignation, the pendency of the mergers with Eldorado HoldCo LLC, and only five members currently serving on the Company’s board of directors, on March 3, 2014, Section 2 of Article III of the Company’s bylaws was amended to reduce the number of directors from nine (9) to five (5).  A copy of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, reflecting such amendment, are attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
