ITEM 2.01     COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OF ASSETS.

     On  June  13,  2005,  our wholly owned subsidiary, RCI Entertainment (North
Carolina),  Inc.,  a North Carolina corporation ("RCI North Carolina") entered a
Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Purchase  Agreement")  with  Top Shelf, LLC, a North
Carolina  limited  liability  company ("Top Shelf") and Tony Hege, the holder of
Top  Shelf's membership interests, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding
membership interests of Top Shelf which owns a nightclub known as "The Manhattan
Club" located in Charlotte, North Carolina (the "Club").  RCI North Carolina has
been managing the Club under the name "Rick's Cabaret" since February 2005.

     The Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price of $1,000,000 which is
payable  with  180,000 shares of our common stock valued at $3.75 per share (the
"Shares")  and  a  seven  year promissory note in the amount of $325,000 bearing
interest  at the rate of 7% per annum (the "Note").  The Note is payable with an
initial  payment  due  November 1, 2005 of  interest only for the period of time
from  the  date  of  Closing  until October 31, 2005, plus a principal reduction
payment  in  the  amount of $3,009.29.  Thereafter, RCI North Carolina will make
eighty-three (83) successive equal monthly payments commencing December 1, 2005,
of  principal  and  interest in the amount of $4,905.12 until paid in full.  The
Note is secured by the assets of RCI North Carolina.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Note, on or after November 1, 2005, Hege shall
have  the  right, but not the obligation to have Rick's purchase from Hege 4,285
Shares  per  month (the "Monthly Shares"), calculated at a price per share equal
to  $3.75  ("Value of the Shares") until Hege has received a total of $1,000,000
from the sale of the Shares less the amount of the Note.  At our election during
any  given  month,  we  may either buy the Monthly Shares or, if we elect not to
buy the Monthly Shares from Hege, then Hege shall sell the Monthly Shares in the
open  market.  Any  deficiency  between  the amount which Hege receives from the
sale  of  the  Monthly  Shares  and  the Value of the Shares shall be paid by us
within  three  (3)  days  of  the date of sale of the Monthly Shares during that
particular month.  Our obligation to purchase the Monthly Shares from Hege shall
terminate and cease at such time as Hege has received a total of $1,000,000 from
the sale of the Shares, less the amount of the Note.

     Under  the  terms  of the Purchase Agreement, we will be required to file a
registration  statement  for  the Shares within thirty (30) days.  A copy of the
Purchase  Agreement  is  attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.  A copy of the Note is
attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  10.2.

     A  copy of the press release related to this transaction is attached hereto
as  Exhibit  99.1.
