             COLORADO CASINO RESORTS , INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND PLANS FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW AND PLAN OF OPERATION

Colorado Casino Resorts, Inc., (OCCRIO and/or the OCompanyO) is in the
business  of  developing and operating casino  and  hotel  properties.
Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, CreekerOs Inc. and Double Eagle
Resorts, Inc., CCRI is the owner of CreekerOs Casino (OCreekerOsO) and
the Double Eagle Hotel & Casino (the ODouble EagleO), both located  in
Cripple Creek, Colorado.

The  Double  Eagle Hotel & Casino, the CompanyOs flagship project,  is
proceeding  on  schedule, with the opening date slated for  mid-summer
1996.   The  Double  Eagle will be the first major  hotel  and  casino
serving  the  greater Colorado Springs area with  a  capturable  adult
population in excess of 800,000.  With its superior amenities, it will
also  compete for the Denver market which has an aggregate  capturable
adult  population  of an additional 1.75 million.   CCRI  expects  the
Double  Eagle  to establish a dominant presence in the  Cripple  Creek
gaming market while generating significant revenues for the Company.

As reported in the 10-KSB for the year ending October 31, 1995, CCRIOs
two principle goals for both the near term and the long term are:  (1)
To improve revenue production of CreekerOs Casino, and (2) To continue
development  of the Double Eagle Hotel & Casino project.  The  Company
is  pleased  to  report  that  CreekerOs has  reported  a  significant
increase in revenues compared to one year ago and the Double Eagle  is
nearing successful completion.

CreekerOs Casino

The  Company  continues to upgrade the overall  gaming  experience  at
CreekerOs  Casino.  The recently implemented Winners Circle slot  club
is  continuing to be a success.  Since its inception in November 1995,
the club has enrolled over 10,000 members.

CreekerOs  management is constantly analyzing slot machine performance
data  to  design  optimal  floor layouts and machine  mix  to  attract
players.   Several  slot  machine game themes have  been  changed  and
others  are  in the process of being changed.  As a result,  CreekerOs
has  realized  increased  play  and significantly  improved  revenues.
CreekerOs  has  completed upgrading over 95% of its slot  machines  to
include improved embedded bill validators.

Double Eagle Hotel & Casino

The  Double  Eagle is designed to be a modern, state-of-the-art  hotel
and  casino  featuring  159  hotel rooms and  suites,  over  750  slot
machines,  and 5 table games spanning a 45,000 square foot  casino  on
two  levels.   This  facility will employ the latest  in  lodging  and
gaming  network  systems for reservations and player tracking,  inter-
linked voice and data communications, and computerized ventilation and
environment controls.  The exterior of the building is designed to  be
reminiscent  of the historic structures which adorned the  streets  of
Cripple Creek during the pre-World War I era.  The interior of
<PAGE>
the Double Eagle is themed to offer the hospitality and glamour of the
"roaring  20's".  With its breathtaking stained glass barrel  ceiling,
complete  with  two  renditions of a 1927 Double Eagle  coin,  elegant
winding  staircases, and large, colorful signs throughout, the  Double
Eagle will offer its guests an unforgettable gaming experience.

The  hotel rooms are designed with elegance in mind, featuring  suites
with  hot tubs, fireplaces, and big screen televisions.  Room service,
an  up-scale  restaurant, two entertainment bars, a gift shop,  and  a
full-service  staff will make sure the needs of the guest  are  always
serviced.   As an added convenience, the Double Eagle will offer  free
valet  parking  from  its  port-o-couche and free  daily  shuttle  bus
service to and from the hotel/casino, Creeker's Casino, and its own 6-
acre  parking  lot.   Located on the southwestern  corner  of  Bennett
Avenue  and  5th  Street,  where Route  67  and  Bennett  Avenue  come
together, the Double Eagle provides superior access and visibility  to
all  motorist  and  pedestrian traffic entering  and  exiting  Cripple
Creek.

At  this point, with the structure complete, G.E. Johnson Construction
Company,  the  general  contractor, is  continuing  work  on  interior
finishes.   Mechanical and electrical system installation is complete.
Most  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment  has  been  installed   and
completion  is expected by the end of June.  All gaming  devices  have
been  selected and orders placed with International Gaming  Technology
for  late  June delivery.  The property management system,  integrated
phone  system,  and surveillance systems are in the  final  stages  of
implementation.  The Company is currently in the process of  obtaining
the gaming license for the Double Eagle.


COMPANY REVENUE

Casino  revenues for the quarter were up substantially over  the  same
period  twelve months ago.  Operating revenues for the quarter  ending
April  30,  1996 totaled $1,770,530, compared to revenues of  $813,736
for  the  same period in 1995, representing an increase of over  117%.
The  Company attributes this increase to the expansion and improvement
of  Creeker's through the increased number and strategic selection and
placement  of  new  slot  machines throughout the  casino.   Operating
expenses  for  this  quarter  also rose from  $950,189  to  $1,436,885
representing  a  51%  increase from one  year  ago  due  to  increased
marketing  effort  as  well as reflecting increased  depreciation  and
amortization values associated with the increase in gaming devices.

During   this   quarter,  the  Company  has  fulfilled   its   capital
requirements  for the completion of the Double Eagle Hotel  &  Casino.
Related  construction costs have been capitalized  and  added  to  the
total  project  development cost.  Early development  costs  including
associated cost of capital were expensed, contributing to the  reduced
earnings figure.

Acquisitions

There were no acquisitions of any significance during this quarter.

Sale of Stock

The  Company  issued $3,150,000 (net of issue costs  of  $350,000)  of
Series Two preferred convertible stock during the quarter.  Also,  the
Company issued 357,143 shares of common stock for $1,250,000.

Results of Operations

For  the six months ending April 30, 1996, CreekerOs reported revenues
from  casino operations of $2,711,722 compared to $1,438,674  for  the
same  period  from  one year ago, representing an 88%  increase.   Net
consolidated income from operations for the Company came  to  $333,645
compared  to  a  loss  of ($136,453) in 1995.   However,  an  interest
expense of $403,111 associated with the financing of the Double  Eagle
project reduced the net income to produce a quarter loss of ($69,466).

Operating  expenses  increased by almost 56%  from  to  $1,710,257  to
$2,661,321  for  the same 6-month ending period due primarily  to  the
increase  in  depreciation and amortization expenses  related  to  the
acquisition of additional capital equipment.

Expenses  for  casino  operations increased by  approximately  54%  to
$1,161,547  due  to  complimentary  promotions  associated   with   an
aggressive  marketing  campaign during  the  past  six  months.   This
increase  accounted  for  additional cost of labor  and  merchandising
material used during the same period.

Expenses for food, beverage and other also increased from $331,489  to
$399,589  reflecting  an increase in revenues which  rose  by  86%  to
$315,891  for  the  same period. Also, a large part of  this  increase
coincides  with  the Company's heightened marketing  strategy  through
which  liquor,  soda  and pizza were offered complimentary  to  casino
patrons.

General and administrative expenses rose nearly 63% to $862,963 during
the same period, with a significant portion of the increase attributed
to corporate support of the Double Eagle project.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have  been  prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted  accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
the  opinion  of management, all adjustments (consisting  of  normally
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation  have
been included.

Operating  results  for  the quarter ending April  30,  1996  are  not
necessarily  indicative of the results that may be  expected  for  the
year  ending October 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to  the
consolidated  statements and footnotes included  in  the  RegistrantOs
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ending October 31, 1995.
