        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                          PLANS FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW AND PLAN OF OPERATION

Colorado Casino Resorts, Inc., ("CCRI" and/or the "Company") is in the business
of developing and operating casino and hotel resort properties.  Through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Creeker's Inc. and Double Eagle Resorts, Inc., CCRI
is the owner of Creeker's Casino ("Creeker's") and the Double Eagle Hotel &
Casino (the "Double Eagle"), both located in Cripple Creek, Colorado.

During the quarter, the Company reported net operating revenues of $4.7 million,
an increase of $351,000, or 8.0% from the $4.4 million reported during the same
period in 1997.  The Company reported a net loss of $(888,000), or $(0.023) per
share, for the quarter ended January 31, 1998 compared to a net loss of $(1.5)
million, or $(0.042) per share, reported for the first quarter last year.
Although the Company's business is not considered to be seasonal, the highest
levels of business activity in Colorado occur during the tourist season (i.e.,
from May through September).  Its base level (i.e., November through May) is
fairly constant although inclement weather conditions during this period could
have an adverse effect on business levels in Colorado.  Although the Company
recorded a net loss, EBITDA (earnings before interest taxes depreciation and
amortization) totaled nearly $803,000, up $470,000 or 141.0% higher than the
$333,000 reported during the same period last year.  However, as a result of the
reclassification of the International Game Technology ("IGT") capital lease to
an operating lease, casino operating expenses increased for fiscal quarter ended
January 31, 1998 by approximately $420,000.  After adjusting for comparison
purposes, EBITDA for the first fiscal quarter of 1998 should be $1.2 million
compared to $333,000 reported in 1997, representing a 267.3% increase.

BUSINESS AND MARKETING STRATEGY

The Company's business strategy is to offer casino gaming and a full range of
amenities in a friendly atmosphere that caters to middle and upper-middle income
customers.  Incorporating the distinction between Creeker's Casino and the
Double Eagle Hotel & Casino in its marketing efforts, management believes it is
able to increase gaming activity at its respective casinos by attracting
customers from two market segments.

CREEKER'S CASINO

Creeker's Casino, resembling a Victorian-style historic structure of the late
1800's, is located at the corner of 3/rd/ Street and Bennett Avenue in the
center of town.  Creeker's offers its customers a friendly, "down-to-earth"
atmosphere in which to enjoy gaming activities.  Within its 19,000-square foot
casino, it offers 234 slot machines, two blackjack tables, two bars, a
restaurant featuring buffet-style meals, and entertainment areas.

Creeker's targets middle- to upper-income customers from the greater Colorado
Springs area and surrounding communities who prefer to make day trips to Cripple
Creek.  Because of its smaller size and "down-to-earth" atmosphere, Creeker's
appeals to many customers who enjoy a cozier environment and the personal touch
offered by its friendly employees.  Free pizza and a hearty buffet served in its
restaurant further heightens Creeker's attractiveness to this market segment.

DOUBLE EAGLE HOTEL & CASINO

Through the new Double Eagle Hotel & Casino, the Company established the first
major hotel and casino serving the greater Colorado Springs area with a growing
population base, approaching one million.  Unlike existing gaming facilities in
the Cripple Creek area, which offer limited or no overnight accommodations,
inconvenient parking and few non-gaming amenities, the Double Eagle features 158
hotel rooms and suites, a 400-space parking lot with free valet parking and
shuttle transportation, and a 45,000-square foot casino offering 681 slot
machines and five blackjack tables.  The facility also includes a 100-seat
restaurant, Lombard's Bar & Grill, two bars and a gift shop.  Located on the
southwest corner of Bennett Avenue and 5/th/ Street, where Route 67 and Bennett
Avenue intersect, the Double Eagle provides superior access and visibility to
motorists entering and exiting the City of Cripple Creek.

                                      -7-

The Double Eagle appeals to higher income patrons because of its "Las-Vegas"
style casino atmosphere, quality hotel and restaurant facilities and a variety
of special events.  With the largest number of rooms and elegant suites in
Cripple Creek, free valet parking under a covered car port, and an exciting and
lively atmosphere, the Double Eagle attracts customers who enjoy spending
multiple days of gaming within a facility which offers the hospitality and
convenience of first-class accommodations.  In addition, the Company anticipates
that the planned convention facilities at the Double Eagle will attract new
players by capturing meeting and small convention business for the Double Eagle.
Ground breaking for the new convention facilities is planned for fourth quarter.
The Company has retained the architects to produce the design and development
plans.

EFFECTIVE MARKETING AND PROMOTION.  The Company's marketing strategy has been to
aggressively promote its two properties to customers in the identified market
segments.  Through the use of radio and print advertising, promotional coupons
and special events designed uniquely to address each market segment, management
attracts players to its respective properties.  Promotional allowances, such as
complimentary rooms, food, beverage and entertainment are used at both casinos
to reward and retain its customers.  Specifically, Creeker's promotes coupons
for free bus transportation, discounts on buffet meals, and cash and prizes
while the Double Eagle offers discounted and complimentary hotel rooms,
complimentary dinners at Lombard's Bar & Grill, and cash sweepstakes to attract
respective customers.

Management of the Double Eagle continues to reinforce its commitment to a high
growth strategy by improving its overall image and effectiveness through new and
innovative marketing programs, a redesigned casino floor layout with higher
payback percentages, an amusement arcade, and the introduction of a VIP lounge
for rated players.  In addition to free daily slot tournaments and special
events, the Double Eagle hosts live entertainment and music acts at its new
piano bar and lounge.

EMPHASIS ON SLOT PLAY.  Responding to the increased popularity of slot machines
over the past several years and recognizing that most revenues are generated by
slot machines in a limited stakes market, the Company has focused its gaming mix
toward slot, keno, and video poker machines.  To maximize capacity utilization,
management chose to reduce the number of slot machines at the Double Eagle,
improving the casino floor layout while increasing payout percentages.  The
Company continues to monitor payout percentages of its slot machines to ensure
that they remain competitive.

Increased slot play is also encouraged through the use of the slot club.  The
"Winners Circle" slot club and the use of a computerized player tracking system,
which monitors the wagering of its members, provides the Company with
information which assists management in planning and directing its marketing
efforts to its customers.  As members of the Winners Circle, patrons are
encouraged to insert their frequent player card into slot, keno, and video poker
machines while playing in the casino to earn points.  Using the tracking system
to track wagering, management rewards members of the Winners Circle based on
their point totals with various cash and gift prizes.  Currently, Creeker's and
the Double Eagle have a combined total of nearly 70,000 members in their
database.

Management believes that an integral component of attracting patrons in Cripple
Creek is adequate, nearby parking.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997,
the Company acquired control of fifteen contiguous city lots, comprising
approximately 47,000 square feet (one city block), located adjacent to the
Double Eagle in Cripple Creek.  This property is currently used for guest
parking, accommodating approximately 250 automobiles.  The Company expects to
use the land in its expansion plans to build a multi-story parking garage, which
will accommodate over 400 automobiles, a convention center, a health club
facility, and additional hotel rooms.

Management continues to make significant investments in key management and
personnel.  Employee benefits, which include medical, dental and vision plans,
in addition to on-the-job training and advancement opportunities are offered to
attract and retain qualified individuals.

FUTURE PLANS.  Emphasis continues to be placed on the Company's technological
infrastructure in order to optimize the movement and management of timely
information.  Data integration and warehousing systems are currently being
reviewed for implementation in order to streamline real-time management and
assimilation of data for marketing and operational decisions.

The Company is proceeding with its plans to refinance high interest construction
debt.  It is anticipated that by third quarter, the Company will have secured
first phase financing which will be used to refinance approximately $20 million
of the construction debt while subsequent phases will be used to refinance the
balance of the high yield debt as well as provide working capital for the
Company's daily operations and expansion efforts.  The Company is also
evaluating several opportunities in other gaming jurisdictions, both domestic
and international.

COMPANY REVENUE

The Company reported net operating revenues for the quarter ended January 31,
1998 of $4.74 million, an increase of over $351,000, or 8.0% from the $4.39

$111,000 to $432,000 in fiscal quarter 1998.

During the quarter, the Company reported over $97,000 in other revenues compared
to the $1,400 reported during the same fiscal quarter in 1997.  This increase is
primarily due to proceeds from the Company's recently implemented parking
operations and amusement arcade.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company reported net operating revenues for fiscal quarter ended January 31,

expenses of casino operations were $1.8 million for fiscal quarter ended January
31, 1998, an increase of $247,000 or 15.8% from $1.6 million for fiscal quarter
1997.  Casino costs and expenses as a percentage of casino revenues increased to
47.7% in 1998 from 42.8% during the same period in 1997.  The increase in casino
costs and expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of the operating lease
expense of approximately $420,000 associated with the reclassification if the
IGT slot machine lease.

HOTEL AND GIFT SHOP.  Revenues from the hotel and gift shop amounted to over
$410,000 for the first fiscal quarter 1998, practically no change from the

revenues accounted for 8.7% of total consolidated revenues.  Costs and expenses

$111,000 to $432,000 for fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1998.  Costs and
expenses of restaurant and bars were $628,000 for the first fiscal quarter of
1998, an increase of almost $24,000 or 3.9% from $605,000 recorded in 1997.
Restaurant and bar costs and expenses as a percentage of restaurant and bar
revenues decreased to 145.4% from 188.3% during the same period in 1997.

MARKETING/GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  Marketing and general and administrative
expenses were $1.2 million for fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1998, a decrease
of over $400,000 or -24.6% from $1.6 million reported for the same fiscal
quarter in 1997.  This reduction in expense was primarily due to lower general
and administrative expenses resulting from improved efficiencies and optimized
property-wide operations.  Marketing and general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of total revenues decreased to 25.9% from 37.1% during the first
fiscal quarter in 1997.

DEPRECIATION.  Depreciation was $518,000 for the fiscal quarter ended January
31, 1998, an decrease of nearly $133,000 or 20.4% from $651,000 for the same
fiscal quarter 1997.  The decrease in depreciation expense is primarily due to
the reduction of the number of slot machines at the Double Eagle.

result of restructured terms of certain lease agreements.

ended January 31, 1998, a decrease of more than $(565,000) or 38.9% from a loss
