                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


        A.   General:

             The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements, which
        are  unaudited, include the operations of Resorts International Hotel,
        Inc.  ("RIH")  and  its  subsidiaries.    RIH  owns  and operates Merv
        Griffin's  Resorts  Casino  Hotel  (the  "Resorts  Casino  Hotel"),  a
        casino/hotel  complex  located in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  RIH is a
        wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  GGRI,  Inc. ("GGRI"), which is a wholly
        owned subsidiary of Griffin Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. ("GGE").  GGE
        was  known as Resorts International, Inc. until its name change, which
        was  effective  June 30, 1995.  "GGE" is used herein to refer to RIH's
        ultimate parent corporation both before and after its name change.

             While  the  accompanying  interim  financial  information  is
        unaudited,  management  of RIH 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  notes  presented herein are intended to provide supplemental
        disclosure  of  items of significance occurring subsequent to December
        31,  1995  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Notes to
        Consolidated  Financial Statements contained in pages 29 through 43 of
        RIH's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

        B.   Reverse Repurchase Agreements:

             Cash  equivalents  at  March 31, 1996 included reverse repurchase
        agreements  (federal  government securities purchased under agreements
        to  resell  those  securities)  with  the  institutions  listed in the
        following  table  under  which  RIH  had  not  taken  delivery  of the
        underlying securities.  These agreements matured during the first week
        of April 1996.

        C.   Complimentary Services:

             The  Consolidated  Statements of Operations reflect each category
        of  operating  revenues  excluding  the  retail value of complimentary
        services  provided to casino patrons without charge.  The retail value
        of  such  complimentary  services  excluded  from revenues amounted to
        $5,639,000  and  $5,671,000  for  the  first quarter of 1996 and 1995,
        respectively.    The  rooms, food and beverage, and other casino/hotel
        operations  departments allocate a percentage of their total operating
        expenses  to the casino department for complimentary services provided
        to casino patrons.  These

        allocations  do  not  necessarily  represent  the  incremental cost of
        providing  such  complimentary  services  to  casino patrons.  Amounts
        allocated  to  the  casino  department  from  the  other  operating
        departments were as follows:

        E.   Commitments and Contingencies:

             RIH  is  a  defendant  in  certain litigation.  In the opinion of
        management, based upon the 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.


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

        FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Liquidity

             At  March  31,  1996  RIH  had  working  capital  of  $19,670,000
        including  $35,607,000 of unrestricted cash and equivalents.  The day-
        to-day operations of RIH require approximately $10,000,000 of currency
        and coin on hand which amount varies by days of the week, holidays and
        seasons.    Additional  cash  balances  are  necessary to meet current
        working capital needs.

             R e s o rts  International  Hotel  Financing,  Inc.  ("RIHF"),  a
        subsidiary  of  GGE,  issued  the  11%  Mortgage  Notes  due 2003 (the
        "Mortgage  Notes") and the 11.375% Junior Mortgage Notes due 2004 (the
        "Junior  Mortgage  Notes"),  the  debt  service  of which is supported
        through  affiliated  notes  payable  by  RIH.   The indentures for the
        Mortgage  Notes  and  the  Junior  Mortgage Notes permit a $20,000,000
        working  capital  facility  to be senior to the Mortgage Notes and the
        Junior  Mortgage Notes.  GGE, RIH and RIHF had previously negotiated a
        senior  credit  facility  (the  "Senior  Facility")  of  approximately
        $20,000,000  which was available up to May 2, 1996.  GGE, RIH and RIHF
        allowed  the Senior Facility to expire unutilized as the companies did
        not  have  immediate  needs  for  the  funds, and, in light of current
        market  conditions,  management believes that alternative sources of a
        comparable  working  capital  facility  would be available at terms no
        less favorable than those of the Senior Facility.

             RIHF  will  satisfy the interest payment due June 15, 1996 on its
        Junior  Mortgage  Notes  by cash payment.  Therefore, on that date RIH
        will  pay interest due on its affiliated note payable to RIHF in cash.
        Also  on  June  15,  1996,  RIH  will  receive  interest  due  on  the
        $12,899,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes owned by RIH.

        Capital Expenditures and Resources

             During  the  first  quarter  of  1996  RIH's  $892,000 of capital
        expenditures included corridor carpeting and computer system upgrades.

             GGE  continues the development of its expansion plans for the 4.4
        acre  tract  on  the  Boardwalk, adjacent to the Resorts Casino Hotel.
        The  entire  addition  will  include up to 700 new hotel rooms, 70,000
        square  feet  of  casino  space  and  a 2,000 space parking garage and
        transportation  center.    Subject to receipt of regulatory approvals,
        GGE  plans  to  break ground in the fall of 1996 on the infrastructure
        necessary  to  support  the  full  expansion.    The  first  phase  of
        construction is expected to



                                          8<PAGE>

        consist  of  500  new  hotel rooms, 50,000 square feet of casino floor
        space  and  the  new  garage.    Construction costs for this phase are
        currently  estimated  at  $200,000,000.    Initial  cash  outlays  are
        expected  to  be from existing working capital and cash flow generated
        by  operations  during  the  construction period.  External sources of
        financing  will  also  be  required.  In this regard, GGE is exploring
        various alternatives in both the public and private sectors.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

             RIH  operates in one business segment.  Following is a discussion
        of the results of operations for the first quarter of 1996 compared to
        1995.    The  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
        Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

        Revenues

             Casino  revenues decreased by $3,431,000 for the first quarter of
        1996  due  almost  entirely  to decreased slot win.  Slot win was down
        largely  due  to a decrease in hold percentage (ratio of casino win to
        total  amount wagered for slots or total amount of chips purchased for
        table games) and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in amounts wagered by
        patrons.    Table  game  win  was  virtually  flat  as  the effects of
        increased  hold  percentage  were  offset  by  a  decrease  in amounts
        wagered.    Revenues  from poker, simulcasting and keno were also down
        slightly.

             Two  factors  negatively  affected RIH's performance in the first
        quarter  -  heightened  competition  in  the  Atlantic City market for
        patrons and severe weather conditions.  As competition for patrons has
        intensified,  promotions  -  complimentary  services  (rooms, food and
        beverage  provided  to  patrons  without  charge), cash  giveaways and
        events  - have increased.  In recent quarters certain competitors have
        increased  complimentaries  and cash giveaways dramatically.  Although
        RIH  did  increase its promotions during the first quarter, it elected
        not  to  keep pace with the industry's increased promotions due to the
        belief  that  the  resulting  increase  in  gaming  win  would  not be
        sufficient  to  justify the incremental costs incurred.  Consequently,
        RIH's  market  share  of  revenues  suffered.   Management can give no
        assurance  that  the  increased cost of obtaining gaming revenues will
        not continue in future periods.

             As  noted  above  the severe weather experienced during the first
        quarter  of  1996  adversely affected operations in that period as the
        principal means of transportation to Atlantic City is by automobile or
        bus.    The  impact of inclement weather is more severe on the Resorts
        Casino  Hotel  than  on competing properties which are more accessible
        from  main thoroughfares and which currently have more covered parking
        and covered terminals for bus patrons.

        Earnings from Operations

             For the first quarter of 1996 casino, hotel and related operating
        results   decreased  by  $3,236,000  due  to  the  decreased  revenues
        described  above.    Although total operating expenses were relatively
        flat,  the  most  significant  variances  in  operating  expenses were
        increases  in  casino  promotional  costs  ($900,000)  and payroll and
        related costs ($400,000).


                                          9<PAGE>

        Casino promotional costs increased primarily due to an increase in the
        amount  of  cash  giveaways to bus patrons, although the number of bus
        passengers  was  down.   Payroll and related costs increased primarily
        due to increased salary and wage rates, although the average number of
        employees  was  down  slightly  for the quarter.  These increases were
        offset  by  decreases  in  the  accrual  for performance and incentive
        bonuses ($700,000), casino win tax and other operating costs.
