             Transactions with Management and Others 

             Griffin  Services  Agreement.    In  April  1993  RII and Resorts
        International  Hotel,  Inc.  ("RIH"),  RII's subsidiary which owns and
        operates  Merv  Griffin's  Resorts  Casino  Hotel (the "Resorts Casino
        Hotel")  in  Atlantic  City,  New  Jersey,  entered into a License and
        S e r vices  Agreement  with  Griffin  Group  (the  "Griffin  Services
        Agreement")  dated  and  effective as of September 17, 1992 to replace
        the  previous  License  and Services Agreement among RII, Merv Griffin
        and  Griffin  Group  upon  its  expiration.    Pursuant to the Griffin
        Services  Agreement, Griffin Group granted RII and RIH a non-exclusive
        license  to  use  the  name  and  likeness  of Merv Griffin in certain
        advertising media and




                                        - 8 -<PAGE>

        limited   merchandising  for  the  sole  purpose  of  advertising  and
        promoting the facilities and operations of RII and RIH.  In connection
        with such license, Griffin Group will not grant any similar license to
        any  casino/hotel  located  in  Atlantic  City  during the term of the
        Griffin  Services  Agreement,  so  long  as RII and RIH own or operate
        casino and hotel facilities there.

             Pursuant  to the Griffin Services Agreement, Griffin Group agreed
        to  provide  to  RII  and  RIH,  for  the term of the Griffin Services
        Agreement,  the non-exclusive services of Merv Griffin, subject to the
        performance  by  RII  and  RIH  of their obligations under the Griffin
        Services  Agreement, (i) as Chairman of the Board of Directors of RII,
        (ii)  as  host, producer, presenter and featured performer relative to
        certain  shows  to  be presented at the Resorts Casino Hotel, (iii) as
        consultant  and  marketing  adviser,  (iv)  in  certain capacities, as
        spokesperson  for RII and RIH and (v) as participant in certain radio,
        television and print advertisements.

             The  Griffin  Services  Agreement  is  to continue in force until
        September  17, 1997 and provides for earlier termination under certain
        circumstances  including,  among  others,  a  change  of  control  (as
        defined)  of  RII and RIH and Mr. Griffin ceasing to serve as Chairman
        of the Board of RII.

             The  Griffin  Services  Agreement  provides  for  compensation to
        Griffin Group in the following annual amounts over the five year term:
        $2,000,000;  $2,100,000;  $2,205,000;  $2,310,000 and $2,425,000.  The
        a g r eement  called  for  a  payment  of  $4,100,000,  upon  signing,
        representing  compensation  for  the  first  two  years  of  services.
        Thereafter,  the agreement called for annual payments on September 17,
        each  representing  a  prepayment for the year ending two years hence.
        In  lieu  of  paying  in  cash,  at RII's option, it could satisfy its
        obligation  to  make  any  of  the payments required under the Griffin
        Services  Agreement by reducing the amount of the Group Note described
        below  under  "Indebtedness  of Management."  In the event of an early
        termination  of  the  Griffin Services Agreement, and depending on the
        circumstances  of  such  early  termination,  all  or a portion of the
        compensation paid to Griffin Group in respect of the period subsequent
        to  the  date  of  termination may be required to be repaid to RII and
        RIH.

             RIH made the $4,100,000 payment for the first two years under the
        Griffin  Services  Agreement  in  April  1993.  In September 1993, RII
        satisfied  the  obligation to make the $2,205,000 payment for the year
        ending  September  16, 1995 by reducing the Group Note by that amount.
        In May 1994, as contemplated in the Plan, RII satisfied the $2,310,000
        obligation  to  Griffin  Group  for  the  fourth  year  of the Griffin
        Services  Agreement by reducing the principal amount of the Group Note
        in  an  equal amount.  The final payment required under the agreement,
        $2,425,000,  was  to  be  due  in  September 1995.  On August 1, 1994,
        following  review  and  approval  by  the independent members of RII's
        Board of Directors, RII agreed to issue 1,940,000 shares of RII Common
        Stock  to  Atlantic  Resorts  Holdings,  Inc. ("ARH"), an affiliate of
        Griffin  Group  through  which Mr. Griffin holds certain securities of
        RII,  in  satisfaction  of this final payment obligation.  The closing
        price of RII Common Stock on the date




                                        - 9 -<PAGE>

        of the agreement was $1.0625 per share.  The shares are not registered
        under the Securities Act of 1933 and are restricted securities.

             As  additional  compensation provided for in the Griffin Services
        Agreement,  on  the Effective Date RII issued to ARH, as assignee from
        Griffin  Group,  a  warrant to purchase 4,666,850 shares of RII Common
        Stock at $1.20 per share (the "Griffin Warrant").  The Griffin Warrant
        is exercisable through May 3, 1998.

             RII  and  RIH  also  have  agreed  to  indemnify Merv Griffin and
        Griffin  Group for certain costs and liabilities arising in connection
        with  the    Griffin Services Agreement or Merv Griffin's services, or
        the service of any employee of Griffin Group, as a director or officer
        of RII or any subsidiary thereof.

             Pursuant  to  the  Griffin  Services  Agreement, RII and RIH have
        agreed to maintain comprehensive public liability, personal injury and
        umbrella  insurance  coverage  in  specified  amounts for both Griffin
        Group and Merv Griffin, individually.

             RII  and  RIH  also  have  agreed  to reimburse Griffin Group for
        certain  expenses  incurred  by  Griffin  Group  and  Merv  Griffin in
        connection  with  the license and services agreed to under the Griffin
        Services Agreement.  
             Other  Transactions.  RII and its subsidiaries reimbursed Griffin
        Group  $296,000  for  charter  air  services  rendered  in 1994 to Mr.
        Griffin  as  well  as  other  directors  and  officers  of RII and its
        subsidiaries for travel related to company business.

             In 1994 RII and RIH incurred charges from unaffiliated parties of
        $394,000 in producing the live television broadcast of "Merv Griffin's
        New Year's Eve Special" from Resorts Casino Hotel.

             S e e    also  "ITEM  13.    CERTAIN  RELATIONSHIPS  AND  RELATED
        TRANSACTIONS   -  Transactions  with  Management  and  Others"  for  a
        discussion  of  compensation  to  be  paid  by RII for the services of
        Thomas E. Gallagher as President and Chief Executive Officer of RII.

             Antonio  C.  Alvarez II, a shareholder of Alvarez & Marsal, Inc.,
        was  a  member  of  the  Board of Directors of RII from September 1990
        until  the  Effective  Date.   In 1994 RII paid Alvarez & Marsal, Inc.
        $225,000 and issued 112,500 shares of RII Common Stock as compensation
        for  financial  advisory  services  rendered  in  connection  with the
        reorganization of RII.

             Indebtedness of Management

             Pursuant to the 1990 plan of reorganization of RII and certain of
        its  subsidiaries, in September 1990, RII received $12,345,000 in cash
        and  an  $11,000,000  promissory  note  (the "Griffin Note") from Merv
        Griffin for 4,400,000 shares of RII Common Stock purchased by him.  In
        April   1993,  in  accordance  with  the  Griffin  Services  Agreement
        described  above  under  "Transactions  with  Management  and Others -
        Griffin  Services  Agreement,"  simultaneous  with  RIH's  payment  to
        Griffin  Group  of $4,100,000 for the first two years of service under
        the agreement, Mr.




                                        - 10 -<PAGE>

        Griffin made a partial payment of principal and interest in the amount
        of  $4,100,000  on  the  Griffin  Note.   This resulted in a remaining
        balance  of $7,523,333.  The Griffin Note was then cancelled and a new
        note from Griffin Group (the "Group Note") in the amount of $7,523,333
        was  substituted  therefor.   The Group Note was payable on demand and
        bore  interest  at  the  rate of 3% per year.  Merv Griffin personally
        guaranteed  payment of the Group Note.  As noted above, the balance of
        the  Group  Note  was  reduced  by $2,205,000 in September 1993 and by
        $2,310,000  in  May  1994 in satisfaction of fees due to Griffin Group
        under  the  Griffin  Services Agreement.  Also in May 1994, as part of
        the   reorganization  of  RII,  Griffin  Group  repaid  the  remaining
        principal balance of $3,008,000 and accrued interest thereon.

             controlled  by Mr. Griffin.  Messrs. Griffin, Gallagher and Cohen
             may  be  deemed  to  be members of a "group" for purposes of Rule
             13d-5(b)(1)  and each may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
             shares  owned  by the other two members of the group.  The amount
             reported here represents holdings by the group comprising Messrs.
             Griffin,  Gallagher and Cohen.  The shares issuable upon exercise
             of  warrants  included  herein,  a  total  of  4,666,850  shares,

             to  Mr.  Gallagher  and  Mr.  Cohen, respectively, subject to the
             approval  by  RII's  shareholders  of certain amendments to RII's
             1994  Stock  Option  Plan.  Such plan amendments are necessary in
             order  to allow for the granting of these options.  These options
             are  not  included in the amounts reported above; including these
             options, the percent of RII Common Stock beneficially owned would
             increase to 36.64%.
