    <TD>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</TD>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have acted as counsel for Lakes Entertainment, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148;), in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 for the
registration of 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the
&#147;Common Stock&#148;), issuable under the Lakes Entertainment, Inc. 2007 Stock Option and Compensation
Plan, as amended (the &#147;Plan&#148;). In rendering the opinion hereinafter expressed, we have examined
such records and documents of the Company and such other documents and records and made such
factual investigation as we deemed necessary and appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. From
such examination we are of the opinion that when the shares of Common Stock, up to a maximum of
2,000,000 shares, are issued and paid for pursuant to the Plan, such shares will be duly and
validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the &#147;principal,&#148; you
give the person whom you choose (your &#147;agent&#148;) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of
your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even
though you have given your agent similar authority. When your agent exercises this authority, he or
she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific
instructions, in your best interest. &#147;Important Information for the Agent&#148; at the end of this
document describes your agent&#146;s responsibilities. Your agent can act on your behalf only after
signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public. You can request information from your agent
at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you
should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial
institutions where your accounts are located. You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at
any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a
court can remove an agent for acting improperly. Your agent cannot make health care decisions for
you. You may execute a &#147;Health Care Proxy&#148; to do this. The law governing Powers of Attorney is
contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article&nbsp;5, Title 15. This law is available at a
law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites,
www.senate.state.ny.us or <u>www.assembly.state.ny.us.</u> If there is anything about this document that
you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT: When you accept the authority granted under this Power of
Attorney, a special legal relationship is created between you and the principal. This relationship
imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is
terminated or revoked. You must:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(1)&nbsp;act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in
the principal&#146;s best interest;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(2)&nbsp;avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal&#146;s best interest;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(3)&nbsp;keep the principal&#146;s property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless
otherwise permitted by law;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(4)&nbsp;keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted for the principal; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(5)&nbsp;disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing
the principal&#146;s name and signing your own name as &#147;agent&#148; in either of the following manner:
(Principal&#146;s Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for (Principal&#146;s
Name).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">You may not use the principal&#146;s assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or
anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of
Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that
authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such
instructions, in the principal&#146;s best interest. You may resign by giving written notice to the
principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or
the principal&#146;s guardian if one has been appointed. If there is anything about this document or
your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Liability of agent: The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York&#146;s General
Obligations Law, Article&nbsp;5, Title 15. If it is found that you have violated the law or acted
outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for
your violation.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>POWER OF ATTORNEY</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">KNOW ALL BY THESE PRESENTS, that each person whose signature appears below hereby constitutes and
appoints Lyle Berman and Timothy J. Cope, and each of them, his true and lawful attorneys-in-fact
and agents, with full power of substitution and resubstitution for him and in his name, place, and
stead, in any and all capacities, to sign any and all amendments (including post-effective
amendments) to this registration statement and to file the same, with all exhibits thereto, and
other documents in connection therewith, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, granting unto
said attorneys-in-fact and agents, and each of them, full powers and authority to do and perform
each and every act and things requisite or necessary to be done in and about the premises, as fully
to all intents and purposes as he might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all
that said attorneys-in-fact and agents or their or his substitute or substitutes, may lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the power of attorney granted herein shall not in
any manner revoke in whole or in part any power of attorney that each person whose signature
appears below has previously executed. This power of attorney shall not be revoked by any
subsequent power of attorney each person whose signature appears below may execute, unless such
subsequent power specifically refers to this power of attorney or specifically states that the
instrument is intended to revoke all prior general powers of attorney or all prior powers of
attorney.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the &#147;principal,&#148; you
give the person whom you choose (your &#147;agent&#148;) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of
your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even
though you have given your agent similar authority. When your agent exercises this authority, he or
she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific
instructions, in your best interest. &#147;Important Information for the Agent&#148; at the end of this
document describes your agent&#146;s responsibilities. Your agent can act on your behalf only after
signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public. You can request information from your agent
at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you
should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial
institutions where your accounts are located. You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at
any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a
court can remove an agent for acting improperly. Your agent cannot make health care decisions for
you. You may execute a &#147;Health Care Proxy&#148; to do this. The law governing Powers of Attorney is
contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article&nbsp;5, Title 15. This law is available at a
law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites,
www.senate.state.ny.us or <U>www.assembly.state.ny.us.</U> If there is anything about this document that
you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT: When you accept the authority granted under this Power of
Attorney, a special legal relationship is created between you and the principal. This relationship
imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is
terminated or revoked. You must:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(1)&nbsp;act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in
the principal&#146;s best interest;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(2)&nbsp;avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal&#146;s best interest;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(3)&nbsp;keep the principal&#146;s property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless
otherwise permitted by law;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(4)&nbsp;keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted for the principal; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(5)&nbsp;disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing
the principal&#146;s name and signing your own name as &#147;agent&#148; in either of the following manner:
(Principal&#146;s Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for (Principal&#146;s
Name).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">You may not use the principal&#146;s assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or
anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of
Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that
authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such
instructions, in the principal&#146;s best interest. You may resign by giving written notice to the
principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or
the principal&#146;s guardian if one has been appointed. If there is anything about this document or
your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Liability of agent: The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York&#146;s General
Obligations Law, Article&nbsp;5, Title 15. If it is found that you have violated the law or acted
outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for
your violation.

    <TD><U><B>Restricted Period.</B></U> The Restricted Period is the period of time between the Grant
Date and the Vesting Date. At the end of each respective period, if you have been
continuously employed by the Company and all other conditions and restrictions are met,
one-third of the Restricted Stock Units under the Award will vest on the first, second and
third anniversary of the Grant Date and Shares will be distributed to you promptly upon
vesting. During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock Units are subject to the
restrictions, conditions, and limitations described in this Agreement and the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such restrictions, conditions and limitations will lapse on the
following basis: (a)&nbsp;upon termination of your employment during the Restricted Period due to
death, the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested within the one year period
following the date of your death had you still been employed will immediately vest on your
date of death; and (b)&nbsp;upon termination of your employment during the Restricted Period for
any reason other than death, the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested
within the six month period following the date of your termination had you still been employed
will immediately vest on the date of your termination. All other Restricted Stock Units will
automatically be forfeited in full and canceled by the Company as of 11:00&nbsp;p.m. CT on the date
of such termination of employment.</TD>

six months prior to your termination of employment with the Company or its Affiliates and
ending when the award terminates or is canceled, the Company, in its sole discretion, may
require you to return or forfeit the Shares received or receivable with respect to the award,
in the event you are involved in any of the following occurrences: performing services for or
on behalf of a competitor of, or otherwise competing with, the Company or any affiliate,
unauthorized disclosure of material proprietary information of the Company or any affiliate, a
violation of applicable business ethics policies or business policies of the Company or any
affiliate, or any other occurrence determined by the Committee. The Company&#146;s right to
require forfeiture must be exercised not later than 90&nbsp;days after discovery of such an
occurrence but in no event later than 15&nbsp;months after your termination of employment with the
Company and its Affiliates. Such right shall be deemed to be exercised upon the Company&#146;s
mailing written notice to you of such exercise at your most recent home address as shown on
the personnel records of the Company. In addition to requiring forfeiture as described
herein, the Company may exercise its rights under this Section&nbsp;8 by terminating any award. If
you fail or refuse to forfeit the Shares demanded by the Company (adjusted for any intervening
stock splits), you shall be liable to the Company for damages equal to the number of Shares
demanded times the highest closing price per share of the Shares during the period between the
date of termination of your employment and the date of any judgment or award to the Company,
