Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on August 19, 2013, Florida Gaming Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Florida Gaming Centers, Inc., each filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

On October 23, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court authorized Florida Gaming Corp. and Florida Gaming Centers to use cash collateral on a final basis. Pursuant to that authorization, the Companies are permitted to operate in the ordinary course of business during the pendency of their Chapter 11 proceedings. The Debtors have also agreed to commence a Section 363 sale process that would culminate in the sale of the Florida Gaming Centers assets in or about March 2014. Additionally, the Companies agreed to the entry of an order allowing the previously appointed state court receiver, David Jonas, to continue to serve as an excused receiver pursuant to Section 543(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.
