FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------


RICK'S  CABARET  TO ACQUIRE CENTERFOLDS GENTLEMAN'S CLUB IN SAN ANTONIO; WILL BE
SECOND  RECENT  ACQUISITION  IN  GROWING  MARKET

HOUSTON  -  (July  13, 2006) - RICK'S CABARET INTERNATIONAL, INC. (NASDAQ: RICK)
said  today it has signed a letter of intent to purchase CENTERFOLDS GENTLEMAN'S
CLUB  in  San  Antonio  (5418  Brewster  St.)

Rick's  Cabaret  will pay $2.9 million for Centerfolds Gentleman's Club plus its
18,000  square  foot  building  and accompanying real estate. Under terms of the
agreement  Rick's  Cabaret will pay the owners of the club and property $600,000
in cash at the time of purchase and will sign promissory notes for the remaining
amount.  The notes are not convertible into Rick's stock. A definitive agreement
is expected to be signed by July 31st, with closing to occur shortly thereafter,
contingent  upon  normal  due  diligence  and closing activities associated with
purchases  of  this  type.

Upon  completion of the transaction, the club will be reopened immediately as an
upscale  Rick's  Cabaret,  with a full steakhouse restaurant and other amenities
associated  with  Rick's  Cabaret  establishments  in  New  York  City, Houston,
Charlotte  and  Minneapolis.

When  completed,  the  acquisition  will be the second recent purchase by Rick's
Cabaret  in  the  San  Antonio  market.  On  July 11th the company announced the
acquisition  of  the  former  CLUB EXOTICA (4102 Naco Perrin Street), which will
reopen  in  August  as  an  upscale  CLUB  ONYX,  catering  to  African-American
gentlemen.  The  company already operates an XTC CABARET in San Antonio (at 2023
Sable  Lane).

"San  Antonio  is a fast-growing market and we are delighted to be extending our
presence  in  that  city even further," said ERIC LANGAN, CEO of Rick's Cabaret.
"The  new  club  should be immediately accretive to earnings and we believe that
based  on  past  history  it  has  the potential to generate about $2 million in
annual  revenue."  He  noted that the company does not anticipate any remodeling
costs  associated  with  the  new  acquisition.

The  new club is conveniently located in North San Antonio directly off the busy
I-35  artery.  San  Antonio  is  one of the fastest growing cities in the United
States.  The  U.S.  Census Bureau announced last month that among the 10 largest
cities  San Antonio has replaced San Diego as the nation's seventh most populous
city.  Along  with  population  growth,  San  Antonio  has also witnessed strong
economic  and  employment  growth  primarily  attributed  to its stable economic
sectors.
