Item 1.      Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Isle Common Stock”), of Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Isle”). Isle’s principal executive offices are located at 600 Emerson Road, Suite 300, Saint Louis, Missouri.

Item 2.     Identity and Background.

(a) - (c). This Schedule 13D is being filed by Eldorado Resorts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ERI”). ERI is a gaming and hospitality company that owns and operates gaming facilities located in Ohio, Louisiana, Nevada, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The address of its principal place of business and of its principal office is 100 West Liberty Street, Suite 1150, Reno, Nevada 89501. The name, residence or business address, citizenship and present principal occupation of each executive officer and director of ERI is set forth in Annex A hereto.

(d) - (e). During the last five years, neither ERI nor, to the best of its knowledge, any person listed in Annex A hereto, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.      Source and Amount of Funds.

ERI may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the indicated shares of Isle Common Stock referenced in this Schedule 13D in connection with a Voting Agreement with an irrevocable proxy (described in Item 4). To the knowledge of ERI, no person named in Annex A hereto has expended, nor expects to expend, funds in connection with ERI’s beneficial ownership of the Isle Common Stock.

Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.

On September 19, 2016, ERI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Isle, Eagle I Acquisition Corp. and Eagle II Acquisition Company LLC. As an inducement to ERI to enter into the Merger Agreement, ERI entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), dated as of September 19, 2016 with Isle and GFIL Holdings, LLC (the “Stockholder”). The purpose of the Voting Agreement is to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Stockholder has agreed to vote all shares of common stock of Isle beneficially owned by it in favor of the issuance by ERI of shares of common stock of ERI to be issued in connection with the closing of the merger and any other action required to consummate the merger that may be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of Isle. The Stockholder has appointed ERI and any designees of ERI as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote the shares or act by written consent with respect to the shares of common stock of Isle beneficially owned by it in favor of the issuance by ERI of shares of common stock of ERI to be issued in connection with the closing of the merger and any other action required to consummate the merger that may be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Isle. A copy of the Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The description of the Voting Agreement included in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the filed exhibit.

13D

Except as otherwise contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement or as otherwise set forth in this Item 4, ERI does not has any present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in or relate to any of the actions or matters listed in Item 4(a)-(j) of this Schedule 13D (although ERI reserves the right to develop such plans or proposals) and, to the knowledge of ERI, none of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto has any present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in or relate to any of the actions or matters listed in Item 4(a)-(j) of this Schedule 13D. Before the effective time of the mergers pursuant to the Merger Agreement, it is expected that representatives of each of ERI and Isle will engage in discussions to facilitate the closing of the mergers. Although ERI does not anticipate that such discussions will address any of the matters set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, ERI reserves the right to participate in such discussions or any other plans or proposals prior to closing.

Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) As a result of the Voting Agreement, ERI may be deemed to beneficially own the 14,565,457 shares of Isle Common Stock currently owned of record by the Stockholder. Such Isle Common Stock represents approximately 34.6% of the outstanding Isle Common Stock (based upon the 42,066,148 shares reported by Isle to be issued and outstanding as of September 16, 2016 in the Merger Agreement). To the knowledge of ERI, none of the persons listed in Annex A hereto beneficially owns any Isle Common Stock.

(b) ERI may be deemed to share voting power with respect to the 14,565,457 shares of Isle Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreement with the Stockholder. To the knowledge of ERI, this Item 5(b) does not apply to any person named in Annex A hereto.
