ITEM 1.01     ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On  October  10,  2006, our subsidiary, RCI Entertainment (Austin), Inc.("RCI"),
entered  a  Purchase  Agreement  under which it will acquire from Behzad Bahrami
("Seller")  51%  of  the  membership interest of Playmates Gentlemen's Club, LLC
("Playmates")  which  owns  an  adult entertainment cabaret known as "Playmates"
(the  "Club")  located  at  8110  Springdale  Road,  Austin,  Texas  78724  (the
"Premises").  The Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price of $1,500,000
which  is  payable  $500,000  cash  at  the  time of closing and the issuance of
125,000  shares  of  our  restricted common stock valued at $8.00 per share (the
"Shares").

Pursuant  to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on or after one year after the
closing  date,  the  Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation to have
Rick's  purchase  from  Seller  5,000  Shares  per month (the "Monthly Shares"),
calculated at a price per share equal to $8.00 ("Value of the Shares") until the
Seller  has  received a total of $1,000,000 from the sale of the Shares.  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 the Seller, then the Seller shall sell
the  Monthly Shares in the open market.  Any deficiency between the amount which
the  Seller  receives  from  the sale of the Monthly Shares and the Value of the
Shares shall be paid by us within three (3) business days of the date of sale of
the Monthly Shares during that particular month.  Our obligation to purchase the
Monthly  Shares  from  the  Seller shall terminate and cease at such time as the
Seller  has  received  a  total  of  $1,000,000  from  the  sale  of the Shares.

As  part of the transaction, RCI will enter into a Management Agreement with the
Seller  for  the  management  of  the  Club under which RCI will be providing an
initial  $200,000  line of credit for operation of the Club. Upon closing of the
transaction,  the  Seller will enter a five-year covenant not to compete with us
within  a  one  (1)  mile  radius  of  the  Club.  Further, the landlord for the
premises  where  the  Club  is  operated  will  enter a new lease agreement with
Playmates  giving  it  the  right  to  lease  the Premises for ten (10) years at
$29,000  per month, with the right to an option for an additional ten (10) years
at  $37,000 per month, with RCI agreeing to guarantee the first two (2) years of
the lease.  RCI and the Seller shall enter into a Buy-Sell Agreement relating to
the  ownership  of  their  membership  interest.  Finally,  as  part  of  the
transaction,  we  will  enter  into a Lock-up/Leak-out Agreement with the Seller
regarding  the  Rick's  Shares.

The  Agreement provides for the transaction to close on or before the earlier of
December  31,  2006, or within ten (10) days after the issuance of a Certificate
of  Occupancy  by  the  City of Austin, contingent upon normal due diligence for
transactions  of  this  nature,  including  obtaining all necessary licenses and
permits.

A  copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.  A copy of
the  press  release  related  to  this transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1.
