ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On  November 10, 2006, our subsidiary, RCI Entertainment (Austin), Inc. ("RCI"),
completed  the  acquisition  of  51%  of  the  membership  interest of Playmates
Gentlemen's  Club,  LLC ("Playmates") from Behzad Bahrami ("Seller").  Playmates
owns an adult entertainment cabaret known as "Playmates" (the "Club") located at
8110  Springdale Road, Austin, Texas 78724 (the "Premises").  Under the terms of
the  previously announced Purchase Agreement, RCI paid a total purchase price of
$1,500,000  which  was  paid  $500,000  in  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 us
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.  Seller shall notify
us  during  any  given  month  of its election to "Put" the Monthly Shares to us
during  that  particular  month.  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.

In  the  event the Seller elects not to "Put" the Shares to us, the Seller shall
not  sell  more  than  10,000  Shares per week in the open market, provided that
Seller  complies  with  Rule  144  of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
connection  with  his  sale  of  the  Shares.

As  part  of the transaction, under the terms of Playmates' Amended and Restated
Regulations,  RCI  will  be  the  Manager  of  Playmates  and  will  operate the
day-to-day  business  of  Playmates,  including the operations of the Club.  RCI
will  provide, if necessary, an initial $200,000 line of credit for operation of
the  Club.  The Seller and Playmates entered a five-year covenant not to compete
with  the  Club.  Further,  Playmates  executed  a  new lease agreement with the
landlord 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 also entered into a Members' Agreement relating to
the  ownership  of  their  membership  interest.  Finally,  as  part  of  the
transaction,  the  Seller entered a Lock-up/Leak-out Agreement with us regarding
the  Shares.

The  transaction  was  funded  by our issuance of three (3) separate Convertible
Debentures  (collectively,  the  "Debentures") to Wade McElroy, Ryan McElroy and
Doris  King, the sons and sister, respectively, of Ralph McElroy, a greater than
10%  shareholder  (the "Holders").  Each of the Debentures bears interest at the
rate  of  12%  per annum and has a maturity date of November 9, 2008.  Under the
terms  of  the  Debentures,  we  are  required to make monthly interest payments
beginning December 9, 2006.  We have the right to redeem the Debentures in whole
or  in part at any time during the term of the Debentures.  The Holders have the
option  to  convert  all  or  any



portion  of  the  principal  amount  of the Debentures into shares of our common
stock  at  a  rate  of  $7.50  per  share  (the "Conversion Shares"), subject to
adjustment under certain conditions.  The Debentures provide, absent shareholder
approval, that the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued by us
or  acquired  by  a Holder and any affiliates of a Holder upon conversion of the
Debentures shall not exceed 19.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding
shares  of  our common stock.  The Conversion Shares have piggyback registration
rights.

The  terms  and  conditions  of  the  transaction were the result of arms-length
negotiation  between  the parties.   A copy of the press release related to this
transaction  is  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  99.1.
