</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Lakes Entertainment, Inc. currently has development and management or financing agreements with
four separate Tribes for casino operations in Michigan, California, and Oklahoma, for a total of
five separate casino sites. Lakes is currently managing the Cimarron Casino for the Iowa Tribe of
Oklahoma and the Four Winds Casino Resort for the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. Lakes is
also involved in other business activities, including possible development of a Company owned
casino resort project in Vicksburg, Mississippi and the development of new table games for
licensing to Tribal and non-Tribal casinos. The Company also owns approximately 61&nbsp;percent of WPT
Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: WPTE), a separate publicly held media and entertainment company engaged
in the creation of internationally branded entertainment and consumer products driven by the
development, production and marketing of televised programming based on gaming themes, including
the World Poker Tour<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> television series, the operation of an online gaming website, the
licensing and sale of branded products and the sale of corporate sponsorships. As a result of a previously announced dividend of the shares of WPTE that Lakes owns, Lakes will no longer have an ownership interest in WPTE after November 21, 2008.

contains statements that are forward-looking, such as statements relating to plans for future
expansion and other business development activities as well as other capital spending, financing
sources and the effects of regulation (including gaming and tax regulation) and competition. Such
forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly
affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the company. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, passage of the Ohio casino resort initiative on the November&nbsp;4, 2008 Ohio statewide election ballot or if the
referendum passes, that it will not subsequently be challenged or that other developments will not prevent or delay the project; need for potential future financing to meet Lakes&#146; development needs, including financing needs related to the Ohio casino resort initiative; those relating to the inability to complete or
possible delays in completion of Lakes&#146; casino projects, including various regulatory approvals and
numerous other conditions which must be satisfied before completion of these projects; possible
termination or adverse modification of management or development contracts; Lakes operates in a
highly competitive industry; possible changes in regulations; reliance on continued positive
relationships with Indian tribes and repayment of amounts owed to Lakes by Indian tribes; possible
need for future financing to meet Lakes&#146; expansion goals; risks of entry into new businesses;
reliance on Lakes&#146; management. For more information, review the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
