Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 27, 2005, Poster Financial Group, Inc. ("PFG") entered into an amendment to the existing loan facility with Wells Fargo. The Amendment Number Six to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent (the "Amendment") provides for the increase of the revolving loan facility from $25 million to $43 million with the concurrent payoff in full of Term Loan A and Term Loan B in the aggregate principal amount of $16.5 million, together with accrued but unpaid interest of $57,452.36. Further, the LIBOR Rate Margin used to establish the interest rate on the revolving loan facility has been decreased from 400 basis points (450 if revolving loan amounts outstanding exceeded $15 million) to between 175 basis points and 225 basis points based on the ratio of Senior Debt to EBITDA; provided, however, until December 31, 2005, the LIBOR Margin Rate will be 200 basis points. The Amendment reduces the Unused Fee Margin from 50 basis points to between 37.5 basis points and 50 basis points based on the ratio of Senior Debt to EBITDA (for the 90 days after the date of the Amendment the Unused Fee Margin will be 37.5 basis points). The Lenders, by executing the Amendment, also consented to the sale of 100% of the stock of PFG by PB Gaming, Inc. to Landry’s Gaming, Inc., agreed to certain addbacks to the definition of EBITDA for non-recurring sale-related charges, exclude from the computation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio affiliate-financed capital expenditures (but not principal payments on debt), permit leases (without space restrictions) to affiliates on commercially reasonable terms at current market rates, allow certain additional debt, reduce the fees for letters of credit, and simplify reporting requirements. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement remains January 23, 2009.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 27, 2005, Timothy Poster, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PFG, and Thomas Breitling, the President, Treasurer and Secretary of PFG, each resigned and terminated their respective employment agreements with PFG. The resignations of Messrs. Poster and Breitling are attached as exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 27, 2005, we closed the previously announced sale of the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, to Houston, Texas-based Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. ("Landry’s"). The transaction was consummated by PB Gaming, Inc., the sole stockholder of PFG, selling of all the capital stock of PFG to Landry’s Gaming, Inc. (to which Landry’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LSRI Holdings, Inc. had assigned its rights).

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, PFG’s currently outstanding Senior Secured Notes due 2011 ("Notes") will remain outstanding obligations of PFG following the closing. The closing has resulted in a change of control of PFG under the terms of the Notes and, as a result, PFG will within 30 days commence an offer to purchase any of its Notes for 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

A copy of the press release announcing the closing of the acquisition is attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

In connection with the closing of our sale to Landry’s, a change in control of PFG occurred on September 27, 2005. Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. acquired control of PFG through its wholly-owned subsidiary Landry’s Gaming, Inc. by acquiring from PB Gaming, Inc. 100% of the capital stock of PFG. Landry’s paid $140 million in cash and assumed $155 million of Notes, as well as certain working capital liabilities, including house banks in the amount of $23 million and PFG’s existing credit facility.

A copy of the press release announcing the closing of the acquisition is attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

(b) Voluntary Resignations of Officers and Directors. In connection with the closing of our sale to Landry’s, the following officers and directors of PFG voluntarily resigned effective at the time of closing on September 27, 2005:
