COMPARISON DEFINITION

         THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS OF HANDLE, REVENUES, ATTENDANCE, OPERATING
EXPENSES AND GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES IN THIS PART OF THE REPORT
COMPARES FIGURES FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO FIGURES FOR
THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, FOR THE THREE PARI-MUTUEL FACILITIES
PRESENTLY OPERATING--- MIAMI, FT. PIERCE, AND OCALA. THE TAMPA FACILITY WAS SOLD
IN NOVEMBER, 1998, AND ALL OPERATIONS CEASED AT THAT TIME. AS A RESULT OF AN
AMENDED AGREEMENT WITH THE SUMMER JAI-ALAI PARTNERS, SUMMER JAI-ALAI (SJA) WAS
OPERATED 100% BY THE COMPANY FOR THE YEAR 1999. FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES, HANDLE,
REVENUES, ATTENDANCE, OPERATING EXPENSES, AND GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
INCLUDE SJA FIGURES FOR 1999 SINCE SJA WAS OPERATED 100% BY THE COMPANY. THESE
FIGURES DO NOT INCLUDE THE HANDLE, REVENUE, OR EXPENSES FOR THE MIAMI FACILITY
FOR THE PERIOD FROM MAY 1, 1998 THROUGH NOVEMBER 28, 1998 SINCE THIS WAS
OPERATED SEPARATELY UNDER THE SJA PERMIT PERIOD. Accordingly, the numbers in
this analysis may not necessarily agree with accompanying financial statements.

HANDLE ANALYSIS

         Total Handle (amount of money wagered) for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999 was $122,965,826 of which $37,401,584 was wagered on live
jai-alai, $31,149,903 was wagered on the Miami jai-alai signal as a host site
via inter-track simulcasting, and $54,414,339 was wagered on inter-track guest
signals carried at the Company's three frontons.

         Total Handle for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 was
$86,627,522 of which $23,626,220 was wagered on live jai-alai games and
$14,461,358 was wagered on the Miami jai-alai signal as a host site via
inter-track simulcasting. The aggregate amount wagered on inter-track guest
signals carried at the Company's frontons was $48,539,944.

HANDLE INCREASES AND DECREASES

         Total handle for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 was
$122,965,826. This figure represents a net increase for the same period in 1998
of $36,338,304 (42%). This net increase is explained as follows:

         1.       Live handle increased from $38,087,578 in 1998 to $68,551,487
                  for the same period in 1999, ---an increase of $30,463,909
                  (80%).
         2.       ITW handle increased from $48,539,944 in 1998 to $54,414,339
                  for the same period in 1999, ---an increase of $5,874,395
                  (12%).

         The over-all increase is attributable to an increase in live jai-alai
         attendance, handle and from operating under the SJA permit 100% for the
         benefit of Miami Jai-Alai.


                                                                              4
