Pinnacle Entertainment Inc., the operator of seven casinos and a racetrack, said it reached a tentative agreement with the Federal Trade Commission to complete its acquisition of Ameristar Casinos Inc.

The FTC filed a complaint in May to block the proposed $2.8 billion takeover, saying it would hurt competition and cause lower gambling payouts.
