                 INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT

Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On June 1, 1995, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of 
Merger by and among the Registrant and M.S.E. Investments,
Incorporated, Last Chance Investments, Incorporated, Gold Strike
Investments, Incorporated, Diamond Gold, Inc., Gold Strike
Aviation, Incorporated, Goldstrike Finance Company, Inc., Oasis
Development Company, Inc., Michael S. Ensign, William A.
Richardson, David R. Belding, Peter A. Simon II and Robert J.
Verchota, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"), and an Exchange
Agreement by and among the Registrant and New Way, Inc., Glenn W.
Schaeffer, Gregg H. Solomon, Antonio C. Alamo, Anthony Korfman
and William Ensign, as amended (the "Exchange Agreement" and,
together with the Merger Agreement, the "Gold Strike
Agreements"), the Registrant acquired a group of affiliated
entities (collectively, the "Gold Strike Entities") which own the
Gold Strike Hotel & Gambling Hall and the Nevada Landing Hotel &
Casino in Jean, Nevada, the Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino in
Henderson, Nevada, a 50% interest in a joint venture partnership
with an affiliate of Hyatt Development Corporation which
partnership owns the Grand Victoria, a riverboat casino and land-
based entertainment complex in Elgin, Illinois (situated
approximately 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago), a 50%
interest in a joint venture partnership with an affiliate of
Mirage Resorts, Incorporated which partnership is developing a 
gaming resort with approximately 3,000 rooms near the south end
of the Las Vegas Strip, and certain other assets (collectively
the "Gold Strike Properties").  It is anticipated that the
Registrant will continue to operate the Gold Strike Properties in
a manner similar to that in which they were operated under their
prior ownership.

     Pursuant to the Gold Strike Agreements, the Gold Strike
Entities were acquired by the Registrant (the "Acquisition") in
exchange for the issuance by the Registrant of 16,291,551 shares
of its Common Stock and the issuance by a subsidiary of the
Registrant of shares of the subsidiary's preferred stock which is
convertible into an additional 793,156 shares of the Registrant's
Common Stock, as well as the Registrant's payment of
approximately $12.1 million in cash and its assumption of
approximately $165 million of debt.  The cash portion of the
purchase price was funded from the Registrant's revolving credit
facility, and the amount of the total consideration payable by
the Registrant in connection with the Acquisition was determined
through negotiation among the parties.  In connection with the
Acquisition, certain of the Gold Strike principals entered into a
five-year standstill agreement with the Registrant, and the
Registrant entered into a registration rights agreement covering
the Common Stock of the Registrant issued or issuable in the
Acquisition.


     In accordance with the Gold Strike Agreements, Messrs.
Richardson and Ensign were designated by the Gold Strike
principals for election to the Registrant's Board of Directors. 
The Board of Directors, in accordance with the Registrant's
Bylaws, increased the number of directors in Classes II and III
from two (2) to three (3) and filled the vacancies so created by
the election of Mr. Richardson as a Class II director and Mr.
Ensign as a Class III director, in each case for the balance of
the current term of such class.  Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, the Registrant is also obligated, at the end of the
current term of each such designee, to use its best efforts to
cause such designee (or another individual designated by the Gold
Strike principals) to be nominated for election to a full term
when that class next stands for election in 1996 or 1997.  For
additional information concerning Messrs. Richardson and Ensign,
see Item 11 of the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended January 31, 1995 and the Registrant's proxy
statement relating to the 1995 annual meeting of its
stockholders.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Gold Strike Agreements, upon
the closing of the Acquisition, the Registrant entered into
employment agreements with certain of its executive officers,
including Clyde T. Turner, Kurt D. Sullivan, and Mike Sloan, and
the following Gold Strike executives, who became executive
officers of the Registrant upon the closing of the Acquisition: 
Messrs. Ensign and Richardson and Glenn W. Schaeffer.   Messrs.
Ensign and Schaeffer formerly were directors and officers of the
Registrant.  For additional information concerning the terms of
such employment agreements and options granted to certain of such
individuals, reference is made to the Registrant's proxy
statement relating to the 1995 annual meeting of its
stockholders.

     For additional information concerning the Gold Strike
Properties, reference is made to the disclosure appearing under
the heading "Current Expansion Activities -- Pending Acquisition
of Gold Strike Entities" in Item 1 of the Registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1995.

Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Income Statements for the Twelve Months 

1.   To reflect additional payroll the Registrant will incur
     primarily as the result of employment contracts executed in
     connection with the closing of the merger.

2.   To reflect amortization of goodwill over 40 years and which
     is not deductible for tax purposes, therefore, there is no
     corresponding tax benefit.  Adjustment also includes an
     additional $500,000 of annual depreciation relating to the
     write-up to fair market value of the fixed assets acquired.


3.   The earnings per share calculation includes both the
     16,291,551 common shares issued and 793,156 common shares
     issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible
     preferred stock of a subsidiary.

4.   The entities acquired were all S Corporations and
     partnerships and therefore, no provision for income tax was
     originally recorded.  The pro forma provision recorded is at
     the statutory Federal tax rate of 35%.

Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Statements of Income For the 
Three Months 

1.   To reflect additional payroll the Registrant will incur
     primarily as the result of employment contracts executed in
     connection with the closing of the merger.

2.   To reflect amortization of goodwill over 40 years and which
     is not deductible for tax purposes, therefore, there is no
     corresponding tax benefit.  Adjustment also includes an
     additional $125,000 of depreciation relating to the write-up
     to fair market value of the fixed assets acquired.

3.   The earnings per share calculation includes both the
     16,291,551 common shares issued and 793,156 common shares
     issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible
     preferred stock of a subsidiary.

4.   The entities acquired were all S Corporations and
     partnerships and therefore, no provision for income tax was
     originally recorded.  The pro forma provision recorded is at
     the statutory Federal tax rate of 35%.

5.   Gold Strike results for the two month period ending February
     28, 1995 are as follows:

          Revenues                 $23,472
          Income from Operations   $ 9,680
          Net Income               $ 5,142
