A. General:

     The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements, which are
unaudited, include the operations of Sun International North America, Inc.
("SINA") and its subsidiaries.  The term "Company" as used herein includes
SINA and its subsidiaries SINA was known as Griffin Gaming & Entertainment,
Inc. ("GGE") until February 6, 1997.  "SINA" is used herein to refer to the
corporation both before and after its name change.  SINA is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sun International Hotels Limited ("SIHL").

     While the accompanying interim financial information is unaudited,
management of the Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of these interim results have been made and all such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.  The seasonality of the business is
described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations in the SINA 1997 Form 10-K.  The results of operations
for the three-month and nine-month periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998. 

     The notes presented herein are intended to provide supplemental
disclosure of items of significance occurring subsequent to December 31, 1997
and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in pages 40 through 54 of the SINA 1997 Form 10-K.

     Cash equivalents at September 30, 1998 included $8.0 million of reverse
repurchase agreements (federal government securities purchased under
agreements to resell those securities) under which the Company had not taken
delivery of the underlying securities.  These agreements matured during the
first week of October 1998.

C.  Management Fees:

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to
provide management services to certain affiliated companies.  Management fees

"Showboat Notes").  On January 29, 1998, the Company sold the Showboat Land
for proceeds of $110.0 million.  The majority of the proceeds were used to
redeem the Showboat Notes effective February 28, 1998.

F. Commitments and Contingencies:

     Casino Reinvestment Development Authority ("CRDA")

     The New Jersey Casino Control Act, as amended, requires SINA to purchase
bonds issued by the CRDA, or to make other investments authorized by the
CRDA, in an amount equal to 1.25% of its gross gaming revenues, as defined. 
The CRDA bonds have interest rates ranging from 3.9% to 7.0% and have
repayment terms of between 20 and 50 years.

     At September 30, 1998, SINA had $10.5 million face value of bonds issued
by the CRDA and had $15.5 million on deposit with the CRDA.

     These bonds and deposits, net of an estimated discount to reflect the
below-market interest rates payable on the bonds, are included in deferred
charges and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

     Litigation

     SINA and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in certain
litigation.  Except for items disclosed in the 1997 SINA 10-K, in the opinion
of management, based upon advice of counsel, the aggregate liability, if any,
arising from such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

     A complaint was filed in December 1997, on behalf of a plaintiff and a
purported class of GGE shareholders against SIHL, GGE and various affiliates,
directors and officers of SIHL and GGE.  The complaint alleges that the Proxy
Statement and Prospectus issued by SIHL and GGE in November 1996, in
connection with their merger, was false and misleading with regard to
<PAGE>
statements made about a License and Services Agreement entered into between
GGE and The Griffin Group.  The Company believes that the case is without
merit and intends to vigorously defend its actions.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity

     At September 30, 1998 the Company's working capital amounted to $12.5
million which included unrestricted cash and equivalents of $23.0 million. 
Unrestricted cash is required for day-to-day operations of the Resorts Casino
Hotel, including approximately $15.0 million of currency and coin on hand
which amount varies by days of the week, holidays and seasons.

     At September 30, 1998 the Company had advanced a net $14.8 million to
affiliated companies.  Such amounts are payable on demand by the Company.

     In January 1998, the Company sold the land under the Showboat Casino
Hotel in Atlantic City for proceeds of $110.0 million.  The majority of the
proceeds were used to redeem the $105.3 million Showboat Notes, effective
February 28, 1998.

Capital Expenditures and Resources

     As previously announced, the Company is planning to renovate the
existing 500-room hotel tower as well as completing modest enhancements to
the public areas.  Although the Company is evaluating the possibility of
developing a larger project on its undeveloped real estate in Atlantic City,
the planning of any future expansion is still in the preliminary stages and
the scope and timing of such development is uncertain.

     Management believes that existing cash balances, available borrowing
facilities and operating cash flows will provide the Company with sufficient
resources to meet its existing debt obligations and foreseeable capital
expenditure requirements with respect to current operations for at least the
next twelve months. In addition, the Company may request reimbursement of
amounts advanced to affiliated companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Quarter and Three Quarters Ended September 1998
Compared to 1997

Revenues

     Casino and Resort Revenues
     
     Third Quarter
     
     Gaming revenues were $63.3 million and $66.6 million for the quarters
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This decrease of $3.3
million or 5.0% from the comparable period in 1997 consisted of decreases in
slot revenues, table games revenues and simulcast revenues.

     Slot revenues were $46.1 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1998, a decrease of $500,000 or 1.1% from 1997.  This decrease was due to a
decrease in slot handle (dollar amounts wagered) of $45.9 million or 8.6% to
<PAGE>
$487.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, as compared to 1997. 
Management is continuing the process of upgrading its slot product. During
the month of July 1998, Resorts entered into an agreement to lease 41 new
slot machines,  replacing older, less popular ones, which can be replaced at
no cost with new product if customer demand should change.  The primary focus
of the new slot product was in Resorts' $0.25 denomination machines. 
Resorts' slot handle for $0.25 denomination machines was $251.8 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to $239.9 million in 1997.

     Table games revenues were $16.6 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1998, a decrease of  $2.0 million or 10.8% from 1997.  This decrease was
due to a reduction in table games drop (the dollar amount of chips purchased)
of $22.7 million or 17.6% to $106.4 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1998 from 1997.

     Simulcast revenues were $588,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1998, a decrease of $86,000 or 12.8% from 1997. 

     There were no poker or keno revenues for the quarter ended September 30,
1998.  In March 1998, management elected to eliminate both poker and keno as
a result of less-than-desired operating results and customer demand.  Poker
and Keno revenues in the third quarter of 1997 totaled $730,000. 

     Other revenues were $16.5 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1998, a decrease of $400,000 or 2.4% from 1997.  Other revenues include
revenues from rooms, food and beverage, and miscellaneous items.  The
decrease is primarily attributable to a $100,000 or 1.6% decrease in food and
beverage revenues to $7.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998
from the comparable period in 1997. The decrease is primarily due to a
decrease in complimentary items given to patrons.  Also contributing to the
decrease is a decrease in rooms revenue due to a $2.34 or 2.5% decrease in
the average room rate from 1997.

     Three Quarters

     Gaming revenues were $182.3 million for the three quarters ended
September 30, 1998, a decrease of $8.6 million or 4.5% from gaming revenues
of $191.0 million in 1997.  This decrease in gaming revenues consisted of a
reduction in table games revenues partially offset by an increase in slot
revenues.
                 
     Slot revenues were $133.3 million for the three quarters ended September
30, 1998, an increase of $900,000 or 0.7% from 1997.  This increase was due
to an increase in slot hold percentage (ratio of casino win to total amount
of chips purchased) by 0.5 percentage points to 9.3%.  Management is
continuing the process of upgrading its slot product.  Throughout the year,
Resorts reconfigured the gaming floor to improve efficiency and add
additional slot machines.  In June 1998, 60 slot machines were added and 4
table games were removed. In July 1998, Resorts entered into an agreement to
lease 41 new slot machines.  As a result of these changes, Resorts has added
approximately 238 new slot machines, replacing older, less popular ones,
which can be replaced at no cost with new product if customer demand should
change. The primary focus of the new slot product was in Resorts' $0.25
denomination machines.  Resorts' slot handle for $0.25 denomination machines
was $731.6 million for the three quarters ended September 30, 1998 compared
to $635.0 million in 1997.
<PAGE>
     Table games revenues were $47.3 million for the three quarters ended
September 30, 1998, a decrease of  $6.9 million or 12.7% from 1997.  This
decrease was due to a combination of a reduction in table games drop by $35.9
million or 10.2% to $316.9 million for the three quarters ended September 30,
1998, and a reduction in hold percentage (ratio of casino win to total amount
of chips purchased) of 0.5 percentage points to 14.9% for the three quarters
ended September 30, 1998.

     Simulcast revenues were $1.6 million for the three quarters ended
September 30, 1998, a decrease of $400,000 or 20.0% from 1997.

     Poker and Keno revenues were $134,000 for the three quarters ended
September 30, 1998, a decrease of $2,166,000 from $2.3 million for the
comparable period in 1997.  In March 1998, management elected to eliminate
both poker and keno as a result of less-than-desired operating results and
customer demand.

     Other revenues were $41.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1998, a decrease of $100,000 or 0.2% from other revenues of $41.8 million
in 1997.  Other revenues include revenues from rooms, food and beverage, and
miscellaneous items.

     Tour Operations

     Through a wholly owned subsidiary, the Company operates as a tour
operator and wholesaler of tour packages and provides reservations services,
which includes services to affiliated properties in The Bahamas.  Revenues
were lower in the third quarter of 1998 as Hurricane Georges negatively
impacted call volumes.  The first three quarters of 1998 were also adversely
impacted by mild weather in the US northeast during the first quarter of the
year which resulted in lower customer volumes and reduced revenues.

     Management Fees

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to
provide management services to certain affiliated companies.  Management fees
are earned based upon the level of services provided to such affiliates.

     Real Estate Related

     Real estate related revenues consisted of lease receipts related to the
land under the Showboat Casino Hotel.  As the Company sold this land
effective January 28, 1998, only one month's rent was included in the first
three quarters of 1998.

     Other Income

     These revenues in 1997 represent priority payments from an affiliated 
partnership to repay capital contributions.

Expenses

     Casino and Resort Expenses

     Gaming costs and expenses were $37.3 million and $40.5 million for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a decrease of $3.2
million or 8.0%.
<PAGE>
     Gaming costs and expenses were $112.3 million and $117.7 million for the
three quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a decrease of
$5.5 million or 4.6%.  

     The decrease in both these periods represents costs and expenses
associated with table games, slot operations and promotional items and was
primarily due to management's continuing cost reductions associated with
discontinued marketing segments that did not provide incremental profit.
       
     Tour Operations

     The reduced tour operation expenses reflect the reduced volume of
business during the periods presented.

     Selling General and Administrative

     Selling, general and administrative costs were higher in the third
quarter and first three quarters of 1998 as compared to 1997 by $2.1 million
and $2.8 million, respectively.  The unfavorable variance in both periods was
mainly due to the opening in January 1998 of a marketing and public relations
office in New York.  In the three quarters ended September 30, 1998 these
increased costs were partially offset by cost savings at the operating
property.

     Interest Expense

     Interest expense is lower in the periods presented due primarily to the 
repayment of the Showboat Notes.

Year 2000 Issues

     The Company is currently working to resolve the potential impact of the
year 2000 on its information processing systems.  The year 2000 issue relates
to the ability of the systems to properly distinguish between the years 1900
and 2000.  Based on preliminary information, the cost of addressing potential
problems is not anticipated to have a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future
periods.  The Company plans to devote the necessary resources to resolve all
significant year 2000 issues in a timely manner and has hired an outside
consultant to assist in this matter.

Forward Looking Statements

     The statements contained herein include forward looking statements based
on management's current expectations of SINA's future performance. 
Predictions relating to future performance are inherently uncertain and
subject to a number of risks.  Consequently, SINA's actual results could
differ materially from the expectations expressed in the preceding
paragraphs.  Factors that could cause SINA's actual results to differ
materially from the expected results include, among other things: the
intensely competitive nature of the casino gaming industry; increases in the
number of competitors in the market in which SINA operates; the seasonality
of the industry in the market in which SINA operates; the susceptibility of
SINA's operating results to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;
changes in governmental regulations governing SINA's activities and other
risks detailed in SINA's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
