SUCCESSFUL GRAND OPENING OF RED HAWK CASINO</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">MINNEAPOLIS &#151; December&nbsp;18, 2008 &#151; Lakes Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: LACO) announced today that the
Red Hawk Casino in Shingle Springs, California officially opened its doors to the public yesterday
after an elaborate ribbon-cutting ceremony. Red Hawk Casino is located approximately 35 miles east
of downtown Sacramento, California. This prime casino location is conveniently situated directly
off of US Highway 50 between the San Francisco Bay Area and South Lake Tahoe&#146;s skiing and
recreation areas. The Casino features over 2,100 slot machines, 75 table games, a high stakes
gaming room, as well as 10 food and beverage outlets, enclosed parking and other facilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Every detail of the property from the architecture and finishing treatments to the variety of
games and services features the best of gaming in California,&#148; said Lyle Berman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Lakes Entertainment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Tim Cope, President and Chief Financial Officer of Lakes added, &#147;We congratulate Chairman Fonseca
and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians for their perseverance on this project.&nbsp; The opening
of the Red Hawk Casino and the new Highway 50 interchange dedicated to provide access to the casino
and the Tribe&#146;s reservation is an important step forward on their road to self-reliance.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Lakes is the development and management company for the Casino, which is owned by the Shingle
Springs Band of Miwok Indians. Under the seven-year agreement between the company and the tribe,
Lakes will receive between 21% and 30% of the Casino&#146;s net income for the first five years, and a
lower percentage of net income in the final two years.
