  Reference is made to Current Report on Form 8-K, dated October 10, 2000,
filed by President Casinos, Inc. (the "Company") on October 20, 2000,
reporting the consummation on October 10, 2000 of the sale by the Company of
certain assets utilized in the Company's Davenport, Iowa operations to Isle of
Capri Casinos, Inc ("Isle of Capri").

ITEM 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a)  Not applicable.

(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

  The following unaudited pro forma financial statements of the Company giving
effect to the sale of certain assets utilized in the Company's Davenport
casino and hotel operations are filed herewith:

1.  Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August
    31, 2000 and notes thereto.
2.  Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed and Consolidated Statement of Operations for
    the six months ended August 31, 2000 and notes thereto.
3.  Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year
    ended February 29, 2000 and notes thereto.

  The adjustments to the Company's historical financial information reflected
in the unaudited pro forma financial statements are based upon available
information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable
under the circumstances.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial
position and results of operations would have been as of August 31, 2000 and
for the six months and the year ended August 31, 2000 and  February 29, 2000,
respectively, had the Company completed the disposition as of the dates
indicated nor does it purport to represent the future financial position or
results of operations of the Company.

  The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed and Consolidated Financial
Statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements
of the Company.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed and Consolidated Statements
of Operations for the six months ended August 31, 2000 and the year ended
February 29, 2000 give effect to the disposition of the Davenport casino
operations, The Connelly Group, L.P., a limited partnership in which the
Company owns a 95% ownership interest ("TCG"), and the Davenport hotel
operations, TCG/Blackhawk, Inc., an Iowa corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Blackhawk"), as if they had occurred on March 1,
2000 and March 1, 1999, respectively.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed and
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2000 represents the historical
consolidated statement of the Company as if the disposition of the Davenport
casino and hotel assets had occurred on that date, after giving effect to pro
forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes.  The sale of assets of
the Davenport casino and hotel was a taxable event, however, no income tax
expense has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements due to
the existing net operating losses that have previously been fully reserved.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto.

aggregate consideration from the sale which was $58.2 million in cash.  An
allocation of $56.1 million was made to the assets of TCG and $2.1 million to
the assets of the Blackhawk Hotel based upon the estimated fair value of each

operations was approximately $33.0 million.  Included in these adjustments are
transaction costs which are primarily comprised of legal and investment
banking fees, approximating $2.4 million.

  (c)  Represents the exchange of certain Davenport casino and hotel
operations' prepaid expenses, other assets and accrued expenses for cash from

above.

consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended August 31, 2000,

TCG and the Company.

  (d)  Represents the net gain recorded on the disposition of TCG and

during the period, the inclusion of such shares as common stock equivalents
would be anti-dilutive.
