This Amendment Number 10 to Schedule 13D is filed by Mervyn E. Griffin, Thomas
E. Gallagher, and Lawrence Cohen relating to the shares of common stock, $0.01
par value per share ("Shares"), of Griffin Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (the
"Company"), formerly known as Resorts International, Inc., held by Griffin,
Gallagher and Cohen (the "Reporting Persons").  Except as otherwise noted
below, all Items of Schedule 13D are identical to the responses provided in
Amendment Number 9 to Schedule 13D, filed on January 10, 1995.

This Amendment No. 10 is filed to report that on December 16, 1996, the
Reporting Persons disposed of all of their shares in the Company in exchange
for ordinary shares of Sun International Hotels Limited ("Sun International"),
pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 19,
1996 among Sun International, Sun Merger Corp. and the Company (the "Merger").
In addition to disposing of all of their stock in the Company, the Reporting
Persons have also ceased to act as a group with respect to this investment and
will not act as a group with respect to their holdings of Sun International.

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

No amendment.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

No amendment.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

No amendment.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

On December 16, 1996, pursuant to the terms of the Merger, all of the Shares
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were converted into ordinary shares
of Sun International.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

(a)   As of December 16, 1996, the effective date of the Merger, the
      Reporting Persons have no beneficial ownership of any of the Company's
      equity securities.
    
(b)   Not Applicable.
    
(c)   On December 13, 1996, Mr. Gallagher transferred 15,000 Shares to a
      charitable foundation.
    
(d)   Not Applicable.
    
(e)   As of December 16, 1996, the Reporting Persons ceased to be, either
      individually or as a group, the beneficial owners of more than five
      percent of the Shares of the Company.
    
ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

In Amendment No. 9 to this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons reported that
they may be deemed to be members of a "group" for purposes of Exchange Act Rule
13d-5 because Messrs. Gallagher and Cohen are executive officers of The Griffin
Group, Inc. and of Atlantic Resorts Holdings, the outstanding shares of which
companies are owned by a Trust for which Mr. Griffin acts as Trustee, with
investment and voting control over the shares held by the Trust.  In addition,
the Reporting Persons reported that Mr. Griffin possessed a right of

first refusal upon any disposition of Shares by Mr. David P. Hanlon, former
President and Chief Executive of Resorts International, Inc., who possessed 
option rights previously granted him as part of a stock option plan.

As a result of the Merger on December 16, 1996, any such group status has
terminated.  The Reporting Persons do not intend to engage in any activity that
could result in their being deemed to operate as a "group" with respect to
shares of the Company or shares of Sun International received in the Merger.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

Not applicable.
