(1) "EBITDA" consists of operating income plus depreciation and amortization,
including preopening expenses.  EBITDA should not be construed as an 
alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating 
performance, or as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities
as a measure of liquidty.  The Company has presented EBITDA solely as 
supplemental disclosure because the Company believes that certain investors
consider this information useful in the evaluation of the financial performance
of the companies with substantial depreciation and amortization.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 
30, 1995.
   
     Consolidated  net revenues increased 43.9% to $135.4 million  for the
three  months ended June 30, 1996, from $94.1 million for the same period
of  fiscal  year  1996.  This increase in net revenues  is  a result  of
improved  results  at  Boulder Station and St. Charles Station  and  the
addition  of  Texas Station, which opened in July 1995.  Boulder  Station
and  St.  Charles  Station contributed $34.4 million and  $39.5  million,
respectively, of net revenues for the three months ended June  30,  1996,
an  increase  of $7.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively,  over  the
same  period  of  fiscal  year 1996.Texas  Station  contributed  $19.8
million  of  net  revenues during the three months ended June  30,  1996.
For  the  three  months ended June 30, 1995, net revenues  and  operating
income at St. Charles Station were adversely impacted by flooding on  the
Missouri  River,  which  closed operations  for  16  days  and disrupted
operations   through the balance of the quarter.  During  the  three
months ended  June  30, 1996, the improved results at St. Charles  Station
were achieved  despite  disruption created from the construction  of the
new  parking  garage and elevated roadway  which opened in May 1996.
Flooding on  the  Missouri  River did occur again in May 1996, however  the
newly completed  parking  garage  and  elevated  roadway served  one  of
its intended  purposes in minimizing business disruption casued by the flood.
St.  Charles  Station  did incur approximately $0.7  million  of expense
related  to preparation for the flood and resulting clean-up costs.   In
addition  to  minimizing  disruptions caused  by  flooding,  the parking
garage   and   elevated  roadway  provide improved  access   to  the
gaming facility  and  are the foundation for future phases of  the  St.
Charles Station master plan.
   
     Operating income increased 75.0% to $22.8 million for the three months
ended   June   30, 1996, from $13.0 million for the same  period  of
fiscal year  1996.  This improvement is due to the factors discussed above.
The  improvement  in operating income,  offset by an increase in net
interest expense  of  $0.9 million, an increase of $3.1 million in the
income  tax provision  and  dividends  of $1.8 million on the convertible
preferred stock  issued in March 1996, resulted in net income applicable to
common stock  of  $7.6  million, or earnings per common share of $0.22  for
the three  months  ended June 30, 1996, compared to net income applicable
to common  stock of $3.5 million, or earnings per common share of $0.12
for the same period of fiscal year 1996.
   
     Casino.   Casino  revenues increased 46.2% to $104.7 million  for
the three  months ended June 30, 1996, from $71.6 million for the same
period of  fiscal year 1996. This increase is directly related to $14.6
million in  casino  revenues  generated  by Texas  Station  and combined
casino revenue  increases generated by St. Charles Station and  Boulder
Station of  $18.4  million  for  the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Casino revenues  at  Palace  Station remained flat. Revenues  at  the
Southwest Company's  Louisiana Downs Race Track video poker operation
declined  by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to the same period of fiscal year 1996. The Company is considering 
various alternatives  for improving cash flows or possibly selling its 
interest in the  Louisiana Downs joint venture.  In any event, the operations 
of the joint venture are not material to the Company's financial position or
results of operations taken as a whole. 

     Casino expenses increased 51.1% to $45.3 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996, from $30.0 million for the same period of fiscal year 
1996.  This increase in casino expenses is  consistent with the increase in 
casino revenues discussed above.
   
     Food  and  Beverage.  Food and beverage revenues  increased  59.1%
to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $13.3
million  for  the  same  period of fiscal year 1996.   This increase  is
primarily  due  to  food and beverage revenues of $5.3 million  at  Texas
Station  and  food and beverage revenue increases at St. Charles  Station
and  Boulder Station of $1.8  million and $0.6 million, respectively, for
the  three months ended June 30, 1996.  Food and beverage revenues at St.
Charles  Station  have increased with the opening  of  two  full-service
restaurants in October 1995.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
                  
2.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Food  and beverage net profit margins improved to 24.0% for the three
months  ended  June 30, 1996, from 22.4% for the same  period  of fiscal
year  1996.   This increase in margin is due to improvement at the Nevada
properties  as  a  result of continued focus on cost  control.   The net
profit margin at Texas Station was 15.3% for the three months ended June
30,  1996,  a  significant  increase over  previous  quarters  since the
property  opened.  Management believes that the lower margins experienced
at  Texas Station in the first three quarters since opening were  due to
typical initial operating inefficiencies of a new  property.
   
     Room.   Room  revenues increased 24.4% to $6.4 million for  the three
months  ended  June 30, 1996, from $5.2 million for the  same period  of
fiscal  year  1996.  This increase is due primarily to  the  addition of
Texas  Station with a total of 200 rooms which contributed  $0.9 million of
room revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The Company wide
room  occupancy increased to 97% from 96%, while the average  daily room
rate  increased to $47 from $44 during the three months ended  June 30,
1996.
   
     Other.   Other revenues increased 22.4% to $11.3 million for the three
months  ended  June 30, 1996, from $9.2 million for the  same  period of
fiscal  year  1996.  This increase is due primarily to other revenues at
Texas  Station  of $0.7 million, $0.5 million for the Company's interest in
the  operating  income  of Barley's Casino &  Brewing Company,  $0.5
million  of  lease income from the lease of a riverboat gaming  facility
and   combined  increases  in  other  revenues  at the  Company's  other
operating  properties of $1.8 million, offset by lost  revenues  of  $1.4
million  from the vending division of Southwest Services which  was  sold
in September 1995.
    
     Selling,   General   and  Administrative.    Selling,   general
and administrative  expenses ("SG&A") increased 40.4% to $28.5  million for
the  three  months ended June 30, 1996, from $20.3 million for  the same
period  of  fiscal  year 1996.  This increase is  primarily  due to  the
addition  of  Texas  Station.   SG&A as  a  percentage  of  net revenues
remained flat at approximately 21%.
   
     Corporate  Expenses.   Corporate  expenses  increased  19.6%  to $4.2
million  for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $3.5 million for
the  same  period  of fiscal year 1996. This increase is attributable to
increases  in  personnel  infrastructure  to  manage  the  Company's new
properties  and development plans for the remainder of fiscal  year 1997
and 1998.  Corporate expenses declined to 3.1% of net revenues for  the
three  months  ended  June 30, 1996, from 3.7% for  the  same period   of
fiscal year 1996.
   
     Development  Expenses.   Development expenses decreased significantly
for  the  three  months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the  prior  year.
This  decrease  is  the result of reduced efforts to identify  potential
gaming  opportunities.  Such costs are incurred by the  Company  in  its
efforts   to  identify  and  pursue  potential gaming  opportunities
in selected  jurisdictions, including those in which  gaming  has  not been
approved. The  Company expenses development costs  including lobbying,
legal  and  consulting until such time as the jurisdiction  has approved
gaming  and  the Company has identified a specific site. Costs  incurred 
subsequent to these criteria being met are capitalized.
    
     Depreciation   and  Amortization.   Depreciation and amortization
increased  31.4%  to  $9.8 million for the three months  ended  June 30,
1996,  from  $7.5 million in the same period of fiscal year 1996. Texas
Station contributed $1.7 million of this increase.  Depreciation  expense
at  Boulder  Station increased $1.1 million, primarily  as a result of the 
parking garage and entertainment facilities added during fiscal year 1996. 
These increases  were  offset  by a decrease in depreciation  expense  of  
$0.4 million at Palace Station.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
    
     Interest  Expense,  net.    Interest  costs  incurred  (expensed
and capitalized) increased 58.2% to $13.0 million for the three months
ended June  30,  1996. This  increase  is  primarily  attributable to
added interest  costs  associated  with the 10 1/8% senior subordinated
notes issued  by  the Company in March 1996.  In addition, the Company 
recorded interest income of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 
30, 1996, from investments in tax free municipal securities purchased with 
the excess proceeds of the public offering completed in March 1996. Capitalized
interest is expected to  continue to grow  due to the construction of new 
casino facilities in Las  Vegas and Missouri, as well as ongoing improvements 
at the Company's existing facilities (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

3.   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
   
     The  Company's principal sources of capital consist of proceeds from  
equity  and  debt offerings, cash flows from operating activities, borrowings  
under bank credit facilities, and vendor and lease  financing of equipment.
   
     During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's sources of
capital included $13.1 million of net proceeds from the exercise  of the
underwriters' over-allotment option to purchase  an  additional 270,000
shares  of  convertible preferred stock related to  1,800,000 shares  of
convertible  preferred stock issued by the Company  on March  29,  1996,
cash  flows  from operating activities of $19.9 million, and excess  cash
invested from the March 29, 1996 issuance of convertible preferred  stock
and senior subordinated  notes.  At June 30,  1996,  the  Company  had 
available  borrowings  of  $275.0 million under  its  reducing revolving 
credit  facility,  increasing  to  $380.0 million,  subject to  certain 
administrative conditions ( See "Description of Certain Indebtedness and 
Capital Stock") and $59.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.

     During the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  total capital  
expenditures  were  approximately $103.1 million, of  which approximately 
(I) $48.3 million was associated with the development and construction of  
Kansas  City  Station,  (ii) $13.6 million was  associated with the 
development and construction of Sunset Station, (iii) $14.7 million was 
associated  with  the construction of the 4,000 space parking structure and 
elevated roadway at St. Charles Station, which opened in  May 1996, (iv)  
$6.8  million was associated with the Texas Station bingo, casino and buffet 
expansions which opened in May 1996, and additional indoor and outdoor signage,
and (v) $19.7  million was associated with various other projects and 
maintenance capital expenditures.
   
     The Company's primary requirements during the remainder of fiscal
year 1997 are expected to include the following:

 .    construction costs for Kansas City Station which commenced in August
     1995.  The  Company anticipates that the project will cost approximately  
     $205 million  (excluding net construction period interest and preopening 
     expenses), of  which approximately $111.1 million had been incurred as of 
     June 30,  1996. Kansas  City  Station  is being constructed on 171 acres, 
     and will feature a casino, hotel, and dining and entertainment facilities.
     The property is expected to be completed in the last quarter of calendar 
     year 1996.

 .    construction costs for Sunset Station which commenced in late calendar 
     year 1995.  The Company anticipates that the project will cost 
     approximately  $160  million (excluding net construction period interest  
     and preopening expenses), of which approximately $43.9 million had been 
     incurred as of June 30, 1996. Sunset Station is being constructed on 
     approximately 100 acres in the Henderson/Green Valley area of Las Vegas 
     and will feature a casino, hotel, and dining and entertainment facilities.
     The project is expected to be completed in mid calendar year 1997.

3.   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

 .    construction of an 18-story, 507-room hotel tower at Boulder Station. 
     The Company anticipates that the project will cost approximately  $34  
     million (excluding  net construction period interest and preopening 
     expenses), of which approximately $1.1 million in design costs had been 
     incurred as of June 30, 1996. The  project  is  expected  to be completed 
     within  10  to  12  months  from  the commencement of construction, 
     which is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of calendar year 1996.

 .    construction of a three-level, 1,044-space parking garage at Texas 
     Station. The  Company  anticipates that the parking garage, which will 
     be located on the south  side of the facility, will cost approximately 
     $6.7 million (excluding  net construction  period  interest), of which 
     approximately $0.4  million  had  been incurred  as of June 30, 1996.  
     This project is expected to be completed  during the fourth quarter of 
     calendar year 1996.

    
     Other  planned  uses  of  capital  include (i) the payment of construction
contracts   payable of  approximately $49.5 million as of June  30, 1996, (ii)
maintenance  capital  expenditures  at  Palace  Station, Boulder Station, Texas
Station,  St. Charles Station and the Southwest Companies, (iii) principal and
interest payments on indebtedness,  (iv)  dividend payments on  convertible 
preferred  stock, and   (v)  general   corporate  purposes, including certain 
elements of other planned improvements and expansion at the Company's existing
facilities.  These expansions include the construction of future phases of the 
St. Charles Station master plan.  The master plan for St. Charles Station 
includes a new gaming and entertainment complex comprised of a two-story 
land-based restaurant and entertainment facility with gaming space on the first
level of each  of  two  adjoining  gaming facilities.   The  gaming facilities 
would be docked in a man-made backwater basin adjacent to the Missouri River.  
Management is currently evaluating the timing and scope of this additional 
expansion.  The  Company  is  also considering  an  expansion at Texas Station 
that would include  50,000 square  feet  of additional casino, restaurant and 
entertainment space and a 2,200-space parking structure on the north side of 
the facility.    This expansion would provide improved access and interaction   
between the existing movie theater complex, casino, restaurants and other
entertainment venues at Texas  Station, similar to that which exists at 
Boulder Station.  The Company will capitalize significant preopening expenses 
associated  with  its  construction projects, which amounts will be expensed 
upon the opening of  the  related project and could have a material adverse  
impact  on  the  Company's earnings.  The Company  believes that cash flows 
from operations, borrowings  under the reducing revolving bank credit facility,
vendor and lease financing of equipment and existing cash balances will be
adequate  to satisfy  the Company's anticipated uses of capital during the 
remainder of fiscal year 1997.  The Company, however, continually is 
evaluating the financing needs of its  current  and planned projects.  
If more attractive financing alternatives become available to the Company, 
the Company may amend its financing plans with respect to such projects, 
assuming such financing would be permitted under its debt agreements (see 
"Description of Certain Indebtedness and Capital Stock")  and other applicable 
agreements.

     The  Company's  plans  for  the development of  additional  new  gaming
opportunities, as well as further expansion of the existing operations, may
require substantial amounts of additional capital.  The Company has entered
into purchase agreements to acquire land for the development of existing and
potential  new gaming projects with purchase prices totaling $28.4  million
as  of June 30, 1996.  In consideration for these options, the Company  has
paid  or  placed in escrow $2.3 million as of June 30, 1996, all  of  which
would  be  forfeited should the Company not exercise its option to  acquire
the  land.   To  develop  all  of these projects,  together  with  any  new
commitments  the Company may enter into, the Company will  be  required  to
obtain  additional capital through debt or equity financings. There can  be
no  assurance that any such financing would be available to the Company or,
if  available,  that  any such  financing would be available  on  favorable
terms. As discussed below, the reducing revolving bank credit facility  and
the indentures governing the Company's 9 5/8% and 10 1/8% senior subordinated 
notes limit

the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Company and contain various 
financial and other covenants.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS AND CAPITAL STOCK

BANK FACILITY
    
     In June 1993, the Company obtained an $80 million reducing revolving
bank   credit  facility.   On July 5, 1995, the Company  obtained  a   $275
million  reducing revolving credit facility, a portion of which was used to
refinance  borrowings under the $80 million facility.  On March  25,  1996,
the  Company  amended  and  restated this  bank  facility,  providing   for
borrowings   up to an aggregate principal amount of $400 million,   reduced
to  $380  million as of June 30, 1996 (the "Bank Facility").  Borrowings
of   the   additional  $105  million increase in capacity  under  the  Bank
Facility   are   contingent  on the performance of  certain  administrative
conditions   such as appraisals, consents and regulatory approvals,   which
management expects to obtain in the near future. The Bank Facility is secured
by   substantially  all of the assets of Palace  Station, Boulder  Station,
Texas    Station,    St.   Charles  Station  and   Kansas   City    Station
(collectively,  the "Borrowers"). The Company and the Southwest   Companies
guarantee   the   borrowings  under  the Bank Facility  (collectively   the
"Guarantors").  The Bank Facility matures on September 30, 2000   and   was
reduced   by  $20.0  million  on June 30, 1996  and  will  further   reduce
quarterly   thereafter  by varying amounts (including  approximately   $4.0
million   for  each  quarter ending on or after September  30,  1996,   and
on or  before  March  31, 1997).  Borrowings under the  Bank  Facility bear
interest  at  a margin above the bank's prime rate or LIBOR, as selected by
the   Company.    The   margin above such rates,  and   the  fee   on   the
unfunded portions of the Bank Facility, will vary quarterly based  on   the
combined   Borrower's and the Company's consolidated ratio of funded   debt
to   earnings  before  interest, taxes,  depreciation  and  amortization
("EBITDA").
         
     The  Bank Facility contains certain financial and other covenants.
These   include   a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio for the  Borrowers
combined  of 3.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter through June 30, 1997, 2.75 
to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter through June 30, 1998, and 2.50 to 1.00 for 
each fiscal  quarter thereafter, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio  for the
preceding four quarters for the Borrowers combined of 1.35 to 1.00 for periods
March  31, 1996 through  June 30, 1997, and  1.50 to  1.00 for periods 
thereafter,  a limitation on  indebtedness,   and limitations  on capital  
expenditures. As of June 30, 1996  the  Borrowers funded   debt   to  EBITDA  
ratio  was 0.57 to 1.00 and  the  fixed  charge coverage  ratio  for the  
proceeding four quarters ended June 30, 1996  was 2.76 to 1.00.   A tranche  
of the Bank Facility contains  a Minimum Tangible  Net  Worth requirement for  
Palace Station ($10  million  plus 95%  of  net  income determined  as  of the 
end of each fiscal quarter with no  reduction  for net  losses)  and certain  
restrictions on distributions of cash from  Palace  Station to the Company. 
As of June 30, 1996, Palace  Station's  Tangible  Net  Worth  exceeded  the  
requirement by approximately $7 million. These covenants limit Palace Station's
ability to make payments to the Company, a significant source of anticipated 
cash for the Company.

     In  addition, the Bank Facility has financial covenants relating  to the  
Company.   These  include  prohibitions  on  dividends on or redemptions  of 
the Company's common stock, restrictions on  repayment  of any   subordinated  
debt,  limitations  on  indebtedness   beyond  existing indebtedness,  the  
Company's senior subordinated notes  and up   to  $25 million   of purchase 
money indebtedness, minimum consolidated   net  worth requirements   for the 
Company of $165 million plus post October 1, 1995 preopening expenses, 95% of 
post October 1, 1995 net income (not reduced by net losses) and 100% of net 
equity offering proceeds, and limitations on capital expenditures.  As of June
30, 1996 the  Company's consolidated net

                                    13

worth exceeded the requirement by approximately $12 million.  The Bank facility
also includes a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio for the Company on a 
consolidated basis of 4.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter through September 
30, 1997, 4.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending  December 31, 1997, 4.25 to 1.00 
for the quarter ending March 31, 1998, 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter 
through September 30, 1998 and 3.75 to 1.00 thereafter.  As of June 30, 1996 
the Company's funded debt to EBITDA ratio was 3.80 to 1.00.  In addition, the 
Bank Facility prohibits the Company  from holding cash and cash equivalents 
in excess of the sum of the amounts necessary to make the next scheduled 
interest or dividend payments on the Company's senior subordinated notes and 
preferred stock, the amounts necessary  to  fund casino  bankroll  in the  
ordinary course of business and $2,000,000.  The Guarantors  waive  certain  
defenses and rights including rights of subrogation and reimbursement. The 
Bank Facility contains customary events of default and remedies and is cross-
defaulted to the Company's senior subordinated notes and the Change of 
Control Triggering Event as defined in the indentures.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
    
     The Company has $382.5 million, net of unamortized discount of $8.5 
million, of senior subordinated notes outstanding as of June 30, 1996. $185.7  
million of these notes bear interest, payable semiannually,  at a rate of 
9 5/8% per year and $196.8 million bear interest, payable semi-annually, at   
an rate of 10 1/8% per year (collectively, the "Notes").  The indentures 
governing the Notes contain certain customary financial and other covenants
which  prohibit  the  Company   and  its subsidiaries   from  incurring  
indebtedness  (including   capital  leases) other  than (a) non-recourse debt 
for certain specified subsidiaries, (b) certain equipment financings, (c) the 
Notes, (d) up to $15 million  of additional indebtedness, (e) additional 
indebtedness  if,  after giving effect  thereto, a 2.00 to 1.00 pro forma 
Consolidated Coverage Ratio  (as defined) has been met, (f) Permitted 
Refinancing  Indebtedness  (as defined),  (g)  borrowings  under the Bank 
Facility  not  to exceed the greater  of  $200 million or 1.5 times Operating 
Cash Flow (as defined) for  the  four most recent quarters, and (h) certain 
other indebtedness. As  of  June 30, 1996 the Company's Consolidated Coverage 
Ratio was 3.10 to 1.00.   In addition, the indentures prohibit the Company from
paying dividends on any of its capital stock unless at the time of and  after
giving   effect to such dividend, among other things, the aggregate  amount
of all Restricted Payments and  Restricted Investments (as defined in the 
indentures,  and which  include any dividends on any capital stock of the 
Company) do not exceed the  sum  of (i) 50% of Cumulative Consolidated Net 
Income (as defined) of the Company (less 100% of any consolidated net losses),
(ii) certain   net proceeds from the sale of equity securities of the Company,
and   (iii)   $15 million.  The limitation on the incurrence of  additional
indebtedness     and     dividend   restrictions  in     the  indentures
may  significantly  affect  the Company's ability  to  pay   dividends   on
its  capital   stock.  The Notes also give the holders of  the  Notes   the
right  to   require   the Company to purchase the Notes  at  101%  of   the
principal  amount  of  the  Notes plus accrued interest  thereon   upon   a
Change  of Control  and  Rating Decline (each as defined in the indentures)
of  the Company.

COMMON STOCK
         
     The Company is authorized to issue up to 90,000,000 shares of  its
common  stock, $.01 par value per share, 35,318,057 shares of  which  were
issued  and  outstanding  as  of  June 30,  1996.   Each  holder  of   the
Company's  common stock (the "Common Stock") is entitled to one  vote   for
each   share  held  of  record  on each matter  submitted  to a   vote   of
stockholders. Holders of  the  Common Stock have no  cumulative  voting,
conversion,  redemption or preemptive rights or other rights  to  subscribe
for additional shares.  Subject to any preferences that may be  granted to
the holders of the Company's preferred stock, each holder of  Common Stock
is  entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be  declared by  the
Board  of Directors out of funds legally available  therefor  as well   as
any distributions  to  the  stockholders

and, in the event of liquidation,  dissolution or winding up of the Company,  
is   entitled to share  ratably  in all assets of the Company remaining after  
payment of liabilities.

PREFERRED STOCK
         
     The  Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of  its
preferred  stock, $.01 par value per share ("Preferred Stock").   In  March
1996,   the  Company completed an offering of 1,800,000  shares  of   $3.50
Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the "Convertible  Preferred Stock").     In
April  1996,  the  underwriters  exercised  the  over  allotment  of an
additional 270,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Board of
Directors,  without further action by the holders of Common Stock   or  the
Convertible  Preferred Stock, may issue shares of Preferred Stock   in  one
or   more   series   and   may   fix or alter   the  rights,   preferences,
privileges   and   restrictions, including the voting  rights,   redemption
provisions (including   sinking   fund  provisions),    dividend    rights,
dividend   rates,   liquidation rates, liquidation preferences,  conversion
rights  and the description and number of shares constituting any  wholly
unissued   series  of  Preferred Stock.  Except as  described   above,  the
Board   of   Directors,  without further stockholder  approval,  may  issue
shares   of   Preferred Stock with rights that could adversely affect   the
rights   of   the  holders  of  Common Stock or the Convertible   Preferred
Stock.     The   issuance  of  shares  of Preferred  Stock  under   certain
circumstances  could have the effect of delaying or preventing   a   change
of control of the Company or other corporate action.
  
  CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     As of June 30, 1996, the Company has 2,070,000 shares of Convertible
Preferred   Stock  outstanding,  each with  a  liquidation  preference   of
$50.00   per  share  plus  an amount equal to any accumulated  and   unpaid
dividends   at  the  annual  rate of $3.50 per share,  or  7.0%   of   such
liquidation   preference.  Such dividends accrue and are  cumulative   from
the   date   of   issuance  and  are payable  quarterly.   The  Convertible
Preferred   Stock  is convertible at the option of the holder  thereof   at
any   time, unless previously redeemed, into shares of Common Stock at   an
initial   conversion rate of 3.2573 shares of Common Stock for each   share
of Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to a 24.0% conversion premium per 
share of Common Stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The 
Company may  reduce the  conversion price of the Convertible Preferred Stock 
by  any  amount for  any  period  of  at  least  20 days, so  long  as the  
decrease  is irrevocable  during  such  period.  The Convertible Preferred 
Stock is redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, for
shares  of  Common Stock, at any time after March 15, 1999, initially at a 
price or $52.45 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, and thereafter at 
prices decreasing annually to $50.00 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock 
on and after  March 15, 2006, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Common 
Stock to  be  issued is  determined  by  dividing the redemption price by the  
lower  of  the average  daily  closing price for the Company's  Common  Stock  
for the preceding  20  trading days or the closing price of the Company's 
Common Stock  on  the first business day preceding the date of the redemption 
notice.   Any fractional shares would be paid  in  cash.   There is no 
mandatory sinking fund obligation with respect to the Convertible Preferred 
Stock.  The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock do not have any voting 
rights, except as required by applicable law and except that, among other 
things, whenever accrued and unpaid dividends on  the Convertible Preferred 
Stock are equal to or exceed the equivalent of  six quarterly  dividends  
payable on the Convertible Preferred  Stock, the holders of the Convertible
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a  class with  the  holders of any
other series of parity stock  upon  which  like voting  rights have been
conferred and are exercisable, will be  entitled to  elect  two  directors
to  the Board  of  Directors  until  dividend arrearage has been paid or
amounts have been set apart for such  payment. The  Convertible

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings --
     The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits
relating  to  routine  matters incidental to their  business.  Management
does  not  believe that the outcome of such litigation, in the aggregate,
will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     A  suit  seeking  status as a  class action lawsuit  was  filed by
plaintiff, William H. Poulos, et. al, as class representative,  on April
26,  1994,  in  the  United  States District Court,  Middle District  of
Florida,  naming 41 manufacturers, distributors and casino operators  of
video poker and electronic slot machines, including the Company.  On  May
10, 1994, a lawsuit alleging substantially identical claims was filed  by
another  plaintiff,  William Ahearn, et. al, as class representative,  in
the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, against  48
manufacturers,  distributors  and casino operators  of  video  poker and
electronic  slot machines, including the Company and most  of  the other
major  hotel-casino companies.  The lawsuits allege that  the defendants
have  engaged  in a course of fraudulent and misleading conduct  intended
to  induce  persons to play such games based on a false belief concerning
how the gaming machines operate, as well as the extent to which there  is
an  opportunity to win.  The two lawsuits have been consolidated  into  a
single  action,  and have been transferred to the United States  District
Court,  for  the  State of Nevada. On September 26,  1995,  a  lawsuit 
alleging  substantially identical claims was filed  by  plaintiff,  
Larry Schreier, et. al, as class representative, in the United States  
District court  for the District of Nevada, naming 45 manufacturers, 
distributors, and  casino operators  of  video  poker and  electronic  slot  
machines, including the Company.   Motions  to  dismiss  the  Poulos/Ahearn
and Schreier cases  were  filed  by Defendants.   On  April  17,  1996,  the
Poulos/Ahearn  lawsuits were dismissed, but plaintiffs were  given leave to
file amended Complaints on or before May 31, 1996.  On May 31,  1996, an  
amended Compliant was filed, naming William H.  Poulos, et. al, as plaintiff.
Motions to dismiss are before the court.  The  Ahearn case was  not  refiled  
and  the  Schreier  case  remains  before  the court. Management  believes 
that the claims are wholly without  merit and  does not  expect that the 
lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on  the Company's financial 
position or results of operations.

     A  suit  seeking  status as a class action  lawsuit  was  filed
by plaintiffs,  Thomas  Hyland  and Zelijko  Ranogajel,  et.  al,  as class
representatives,  on May 25, 1995, in the United States  District Court,
District  of  New  Jersey, Camden Division, naming  80  credit reporting
agencies  and  casino  operators,  including  the  Company. The  lawsuit
alleges  that the exclusion of blackjack players who "count  cards"  from
casinos and the sharing of information about them violates certain  state
and  federal antitrust,  consumer  protection, and  credit reporting statutes. 
On May 30, 1996, the Court dismissed this case.
      
     A suit seeking status as a class action was filed by Paul Winkleman
et.  al,  as class representative, on February 26, 1996, in the  Circuit
Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, naming St. Charles Station  and
one  other casino operator in Missouri as defendants.  The lawsuit  seeks
to  recover losses that occurred within three months of the filing of the
suit  under  a 1939 Missouri statute that purports to permit recovery  of
gaming  losses. Based on the advice of counsel, management  believes  the
statute  has been superseded by an amendment to the constitution  of  the
State  of Missouri  that was passed on November  9,  1994,  and  by  the
Missouri Gaming Law promulgated subsequent to a statewide referendum  in
November  1992  and  further clarified subsequent to  the constitutional
amendment, each of which permit riverboat gaming.  On May 13, 1996,  
St. Charles  Station filed a motion to dismiss on this basis.   On August 5, 
1996, the Court dismissed this case.

                       SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT

      This SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (this "SECOND AMENDMENT") is made
and entered into this ___ day of April, 1996, by and between STATION/FIRST JOINT
VENTURE,   a   Missouri  partnership  ("LANDLORD")  and  KANSAS   CITY   STATION
CORPORATION, a Missouri corporation ("TENANT").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS,  Landlord  and Tenant entered into that certain  Lease  Agreement
dated  as  of April 1, 1994, wherein Landlord leased to Tenant the Premises,  as
described therein, as amended pursuant to that certain First Amendment to  Lease
Agreement dated March 19, 1996 (the "ORIGINAL LEASE", and as amended herein, the
"LEASE"); and

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Original Lease as provided
herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein,  the  sufficiency  of  which  is hereby  acknowledged  by  each  of  the
undersigned, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

      1.    The Original Lease is hereby amended by deleting Section 2.1 in  its
entirety and replacing in lieu thereof:

          2.1  Lease Term.

                (a)   The initial term of this Lease (the "INITIAL LEASE  TERM")
          shall  be  for a period beginning at 12:00 noon on April 1, 1994  (the
          "COMMENCEMENT DATE") and ending at 12:00 noon on March 31,  2006  (the
          "INITIAL  EXPIRATION DATE") unless sooner terminated pursuant  to  the
          terms hereof.

                (b)   Tenant  shall have the option to extend the term  of  this
          Lease for up to eight (8) renewal periods of ten (10) years each (each
          such  period,  a  "RENEWAL PERIOD"), plus one (1)  additional  renewal
          period of seven (7) years.  Each such renewal option is exercisable by
          Tenant  at  any time prior to thirty (30) days prior to the date  such
          Renewal Period is to commence.

                (c)   The Initial Lease Term, together with all Renewal  Periods
          for  which Tenant has exercised its renewal option, shall collectively
          be  referred to herein as the "LEASE TERM," and the last  day  of  the
          last  Renewal Period for which Tenant has exercised its renewal option
          shall be referred to herein as the "EXPIRATION DATE."

      2.    The Original Lease is hereby amended by deleting Section 2.2 in  its
entirety.

      3.    The Original Lease is hereby amended by deleting Section 2.3 in  its

          Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without demand, rent for the Premises in
          an  amount  equal  to  One Hundred Thousand and  no/100  U.S.  Dollars
          ($100,000.00) per month.

                (b)  Commencing May 1, 1996 and continuing until March 31, 1997,
          Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without demand, rent for the Premises in
          an  amount  equal  to  Eighty-Five Thousand and  no/100  U.S.  Dollars
          ($85,000.00) per month

               (c)  Commencing April 1, 1997 and continuing throughout the Lease
          Term,  Tenant  shall  pay to Landlord, without demand,  rent  for  the
          Premises in an amount equal to Ninety Thousand and no/100 U.S. Dollars
          ($90,000.00) per month, subject to Subsection 2.3(d) hereof.

                (d)   Commencing  April  1,  1998, and  upon  every  anniversary
          thereafter  during  the  Lease Term, rent for the  Premises  shall  be
          increased  by  multiplying  it  by  the  Cost  of  Living  Factor  (as
          hereinafter defined)  The "Cost of Living Factor" for any date  during
          the  Term  shall  be a fraction whose numerator is  the  index  figure
          stated  in  the  Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers  (CPI-U;
          U.S.  City Average; All Items 1982-84=100) published by the Bureau  of
          Statistics of the United States Department of Labor in effect on  such
          date and whose denominator is the index figure for such Consumer Price
          Index  in  effect twelve months prior to such date; provided, however,
          that regardless of the actual Cost of Living Factor calculated in  the
          foregoing  manner the Cost of Living Factor shall never be  less  than
          One  and  Two Hundredths (1.02) nor more than One and Five  Hundredths
          (1.05).   If such "Consumer Price Index" is discontinued, the Cost  of
          Living  Factor shall be based on comparable statistics on  changes  in
          the purchasing power of the consumer dollar for the applicable periods
          as  published  by  a  responsible financial  periodical  report  of  a
          recognized governmental or private authority.

      4.    The Original Lease is hereby amended by deleting Article 11  in  its
entirety and replacing in lieu thereof:

     ARTICLE 11.  TENANT'S ENCUMBRANCE OF LEASE; ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

           11.1  Right  to  Encumber.  Any provision  herein  contained  to  the
     contrary  notwithstanding, Tenant shall have the right, from time to  time,
     without  the consent of Landlord, to encumber by way of  one or more  deeds
     of trust, mortgages, or other security instruments or any amendments of any
     existing  Deed  of  Trust, (collectively, a "Deed of  Trust")  all  or  any
     portion of Tenant's right, title and interest in, to and under this  Lease.
     Any  such Deed of Trust may contain such terms, conditions and maturity  as
     Tenant  may  determine.  Tenant may enter into any and all such extensions,
     modifications or amendments of any such Deed of Trust as it may desire. The
     execution  and delivery of any such Deed of Trust shall not  be  deemed  to
     constitute  such an assignment or transfer of this Lease as  would  require
     the  holder  or  holders  thereof, as such, to  assume  the  obligation  or
     performance  of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on  the  part  of
     Tenant  to  be  performed hereunder.  The beneficiary  and  its  respective
     assigns under each Deed of Trust (the "BENEFICIARY") may enforce such  Deed
     of  Trust  and may acquire title to the leasehold estate of Tenant  in  any
     lawful  way(in  which  event  the  Beneficiary  and/or  such  assign  shall
     expressly  agree  to  observe  and perform  all  the  covenants  of  Tenant
     hereunder  for so long as Beneficiary and/or such assign retains  title  to
     Tenant's interest hereunder) and, pending foreclosure of such Deed of Trust
     (or  bona  fide  sale  or  assignment in  lieu  of  foreclosure)  may  take
     possession  of  and sublease the Premises, or cause any person  having  the
     relationship  of  an  independent contractor to  the  Beneficiary  to  take
     possession of and sublease the Premises.  Upon foreclosure thereof (or  any
     bona  fide sale or assignment in lieu of foreclosure) the Beneficiary  may,
     subject to Section 11.3, sell and assign this Lease, by assignment in which
     the  assignee shall expressly assume and agree to observe and  perform  all
     the  covenants of Tenant hereunder for so long as it shall retain title  to
     Tenant's interest hereunder.  Any assignee who has acquired title  to  this
     Lease  by  way of foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof may only  assign  its
     rights  under the Lease, other than by way of Deed of Trust, in  compliance
     with Section 11.3 hereto.

           11.2  Protection  of  Beneficiary.  In the event  that  Tenant  shall
     encumber  the leasehold estate by way of Deed of Trust (including,  without
     limitation,  the existing Deed of Trust which presently encumbers  Tenant's
     leasehold estate hereunder) in compliance with the terms of this Lease, the
     following  provisions shall apply and inure to and for the benefit  of  the
     Beneficiary  therein named, and its successors and assigns,  any  provision
     herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding:

                (a)   This  Lease  shall not be amended, altered,  modified,  or
          rescinded by Landlord and Tenant, prior to the expiration of the  term
          of  the  Deed  of  Trust,  without the prior written  consent  of  the
          Beneficiary.  All costs and expenses incurred to obtain the consent of
          the  Beneficiary  to any such amendment, alteration,  modification  or
          rescission  shall be paid by Tenant.  If such a Deed of  Trust  is  in
          effect,  this  Lease  may be terminated only in  accordance  with  the
          provisions  of this Section 11.2.  Without limiting the generality  of
          the  foregoing, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate the  Lease
          pursuant  to  Section 3.2, 7, 10.2(b), 15.1 (except for a condemnation
          of  the  entire  Premises)  or 15.2 without  the  Beneficiary's  prior
          written  consent.  Any attempted amendment, alteration,  modification,
          rescission  or  termination of this Lease without such  prior  written
          consent shall, at the Beneficiary's option be void.

                (b)   Landlord shall, upon serving Tenant any notice of  default
          under  the  provisions of or with respect to this Lease, at  the  same
          time  serve  a copy of such notice upon the Beneficiary, by registered
          mail,  addressed to it at the address shown in the Deed of Trust,  and
          no  notice  of default by Landlord to Tenant shall be deemed  to  have
          been  duly  given unless and until a copy thereof has been  so  served
          upon the Beneficiary.


                 (c)   The  Beneficiary  shall  have  the  right  (but  not  the
          obligation)  to cure without penalty any default by Tenant  under  the
          Lease.   Landlord  shall allow the Beneficiary and its representatives
          access to the Premises for the purpose of effecting any such cure, and
          any  cure  by the Beneficiary shall have the same effect  as  cure  by
          Tenant.   Landlord  will not terminate the Lease upon   a  default  by
          Tenant unless:

                (i)   in the case of a monetary payment default, the Beneficiary
          has  not, within 15 days after the Beneficiary receives written notice
          of such default, cured such monetary default; or

               (ii) in the case of a non-monetary default that is curable by the
          Beneficiary,  the  Beneficiary  has not,  within  30  days  after  the
          Beneficiary receives written notice of such default, either (A) if the
          default  is  reasonably susceptible of cure within such period,  cured
          such  default, or (B) if the default is not reasonably susceptible  of
          cure  within  such  period,  commenced reasonable  efforts  (including
          proceedings for foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or appointment  of  a
          receiver)   to  cure  such  default,  provided  that  the  Beneficiary
          thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues the completion of such
          cure to the extent not prohibited by law; or

                (iii)      in  the case of a non-monetary default  that  is  not
          curable  by the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary has not, within  30  days
          after  the  Beneficiary  receives  written  notice  of  such  default,
          commenced  proceedings for foreclosure of the Deed of Trust,  provided
          that  the Beneficiary thereafter diligently and in good faith  pursues
          the  completion  of such foreclosure to the extent not  prohibited  by
          law.

          Following any foreclosure of a Deed of Trust (or assignment by deed in
          lieu  thereof), and provided that Landlord has notified the applicable
          assignee of one or more existing defaults of the previous Tenant which
          remain uncured and which are reasonably  susceptible of being cured by
          such  assignee, Landlord shall have all applicable remedies under this
          Lease with respect to each such default (including termination, to the
          extent applicable) in the event that such assignee does not cure  each
          such default: (A) in the case of a monetary payment default, within 15
          days  after such assignee receives written notice of such default;  or
          (B)  in the case of a non-monetary default, within 30 days after  such
          assignee  receives written notice of such default (provided  that,  to
          the extent that any such default is not reasonably susceptible of cure
          by  such  assignee within such 30-day period, Landlord  shall  not  be
          entitled to exercise any remedies with respect thereto so long as such
          assignee  commences cure within such 30 days and thereafter diligently
          prosecutes such cure to completion).

                (d)  Following any foreclosure of a Deed of Trust (or assignment
          by  deed in lieu thereof), the successor to Tenant's interest shall be
          personally liable only with respect to the liabilities of Tenant which
          accrue  following such assignment and prior to a subsequent assignment
          by such assignee in accordance with this Lease.

          11.3 Assignment and Subletting.

               (a)  Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall not assign
          or transfer this Lease or any interest therein, or sublet the Premises
          in whole without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall
          not  be  unreasonably withheld; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein
          shall  prohibit Tenant from (i) assigning this Lease to a wholly-owned
          subsidiary  of Tenant, an entity that owns the issued and  outstanding
          stock  of Tenant ("Tenant's Parent"), or a wholly-owned subsidiary  of
          Tenant's  Parent,  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no  such  assignment  shall
          decrease Tenant's obligations hereunder, (ii) entering into a sublease
          as  authorized by Section 11.3 (b) below; or (iii) entering into Deeds
          of  Trust as permitted by this Article 11; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
          Landlord  will  not  require the payment of any  money  for  any  such
          consent  other  than  such reasonable costs and  expenses  as  may  be
          incurred  by  Landlord in connection with such consent not  to  exceed
          $5,000.   Subject to the limitations of Section 11.2(d),  above,  each
          assignee,  other  than Landlord, shall assume and be  deemed  to  have
          assumed  this  Lease  and shall become and remain liable  jointly  and
          severally  with Tenant for the payment of the Rent and other  payments
          due hereunder, and for the due agreements herein contained on Tenant's
          part to be performed for the term of this Lease.

                (b)   Tenant may enter into subleases with sublessees to use  or
          occupy  portions of the Premises during the Term of this Lease without
          the consent of Landlord.

     5.   The Original Lease is hereby amended by inserting the following as the
last sentence of Section 13.1:

         Any  and all improvements constructed by Tenant on the Premises  during
         the  Lease  Term shall be property of Tenant during the Term of  Lease;
         provided,  however,  that upon Tenant's surrender of  the  Premises  to
         Landlord,  Tenant may only remove those improvements that  are  capable
         of  being  detached  and  removed within  thirty  (30)  days,  and  all
         improvements  not  removed  by Tenant within  such  time  period  shall
         become property of the Landlord.

      6.    The  Original Lease is hereby amended by inserting the following  as
Section 19.14:

                19.14   Landlord Participation.  Landlord shall  cooperate  with
          Tenant to the extent that, from time to time, Landlord's participation
          is  legally required (or otherwise reasonably necessary) in connection
          with  (a) obtaining land use variances, permits and other governmental
          authorizations  with respect to Tenant's operations at  the  Premises,
          (b)  entering into dedications, easement agreements, CC&R's and  other
          contracts  (with  governmental entities and/or private  parties)  that
          Tenant  reasonably determines to be beneficial in connection with  its
          operations  at  the  Premises, (c) contesting any  tax  or  other  law
          applicable  to the Premises, or (d) pursuing or defending any  lawsuit
          or  other  proceeding  with  respect to the  Premises.   Tenant  shall
          reimburse  Landlord, within 10 business days following written  demand
          from time to time, for all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord as  a
          result of any such cooperation.

      7.   Except as amended herein, the Lease remains in full force and effect,
and Landlord and Tenant ratify the Lease as amended herein.

      8.    All  capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment but not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Lease.

     9.   This Second Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Missouri.

      10.   This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each  of  which  will  be  deemed an original and all  of  which  together  will
constitute one and the same instrument.

      11.   Upon mutual execution hereof, this Second Amendment will be  binding
upon  each of the undersigned parties, but will not become effective until  Bank
of  America,  NTSA, (the "Bank") has granted its consent hereto or  any  portion
hereof.   In the event the Bank has not granted such consent within thirty  (30)
days  after  the  execution  hereof, this Second Amendment  shall  automatically
become void.

      WITNESS  THE EXECUTION hereof by each of the undersigned as  of  the  date
first set forth above.

                SECOND AMENDMENT TO JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT

      This  SECOND  AMENDMENT  TO  JOINT VENTURE  AGREEMENT  (this  "SECOND
AMENDMENT")  is  entered into as of this ___ day of  April,  1996,  by  and
between  FIRST  HOLDINGS  COMPANY, a Mississippi  partnership  ("FHC")  and
KANSAS CITY STATION CORPORATION, a Missouri corporation ("KCSC").

                           W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS, FHC and Station Casinos, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("STCI")
entered into that certain Joint Venture Agreement dated September 25, 1993,
as  amended by that certain letter agreement dated November 15,  1993  (the
"ORIGINAL   AGREEMENT"  and,  as  amended  herein,   the   "JOINT   VENTURE
AGREEMENT"),  pursuant  to  which FHC and STCI formed  Station/First  Joint
Venture, a Missouri partnership; and

      WHEREAS, STCI assigned its interest in the Original Agreement to KCSC
pursuant  to that certain Assignment and Assumption dated March  26,  1996;
and

      WHEREAS,  FHC  and  KCSC desire to amend the  Original  Agreement  as
provided herein;

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  in exchange for the mutual promises  and  covenants
contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged  by  each
of the undersigned, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

      1.    The  Original  Agreement  is hereby  amended  by  deleting  the
definition  of "Managing Partner" as set forth in Article I, and  replacing
in lieu thereof:

           "MANAGING  PARTNER"  means Kansas City  Station  Corporation,  a
     Missouri corporation.

      2.   The Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 2.7
in its entirety, and replacing in lieu thereof:

           SECTION 2.7    TERM.     THE JOINT VENTURE SHALL COMMENCE ON THE
     DATE  OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL APRIL 1, 2093  UNLESS
     SOONER  DISSOLVED  AND TERMINATED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS  OF  THIS
     AGREEMENT.

      3.    The Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the  final
paragraph of Section 3.1.

      4.   The Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 3.4
in its entirety, and replacing in lieu thereof:

          Section 3.4    JOINT VENTURE EXPENSES, FEES AND LIABILITIES.

                (a)  The Joint Venture will be responsible for and will pay
          its   own   operating   expenses,  including   legal,   auditing,
          accounting,  brokerage,  finder, placement,  investment  banking,
          interest, filing or other fees or expenses incurred by the  Joint
          Venture or by the Partners on behalf of the Joint Venture.   Each
          Partner  shall  bear the costs and expenses  incurred  by  it  in
          connection  with  the  organization of, and  management  of  such
          Partner's  investment  in  the Joint Venture  including,  without
          limitation, accounting and legal fees and expenses.   No  Partner
          other  than the Managing Partner shall incur any costs,  expenses
          or  liabilities on behalf of the Joint Venture without the  prior
          consent  of all Partners.  The Managing Partner shall  not  incur
          expenses on behalf of the Joint Venture which are not incident to
          the  day-to-day  business and operations of  the  Joint  Venture.
          Expenses  and  liabilities on behalf of  the  Joint  Venture  and
          accruing  from  and after April 22, 1996 will be payable  by  the
          Managing  Partner  out  of  the Management  Fee  (as  hereinafter
          defined).

               (b)  In consideration for its services in managing the Joint
          Venture,  the  Joint  Venture shall pay the  Managing  Partner  a
          management fee (the "Management Fee") each month to be determined
          by  the  Managing  Partner from time to time  in  its  reasonable
          discretion.

      5.    The  Original  Agreement is hereby  amended  by  inserting  the
following phrase at the end of Section 4.2(b):

          , subject to Section 4.2 (c).

      6.    The  Original  Agreement is hereby amended by deleting  Seciton
4.2(c) in its entirety and replacing in lieu thereof:

           (c)   In the event the Management Fee as provided for in Section
     3.4 is insufficient to cover the liabilities and expenses of the Joint
     Venture  which  accrue after September 25, 1993, the Managing  Partner
     shall  contribute additional capital in an amount sufficient to  cover
     such liabilities and expenses.

      7.   The Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 5.1
in its entirety, and replacing in lieu thereof:

           Section 5.1    Guaranteed Payment. Commencing on April 1,  1994,
     and on or before the first day of each month thereafter, FHC shall  be
     paid, as interest on its Capital account, a guaranteed monthly payment
     (the "Guaranteed Monthly Payment") in the amount of Forty Thousand and
     No/100 U.S. Dollars ($40,000.00).  Beginning October 1, 1994, or  upon
     receipt  of  permits pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and  Harbors
     Act  of  1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, from the  United
     States Army Corps of Engineers, whichever first occurs, the Guaranteed
     Monthly  Payment shall increase to Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00)
     per month.  Beginning May 1, 1995, or upon receipt of a gaming license
     from  the  state  of  Missouri for operation  of  a  riverboat  gaming
     facility, whichever first occurs, the Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall
     increase  to  Ninety-Six  Thousand  Dollars  ($96,000.00)  per  month.
     Beginning  May 1, 1996, the Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall  decrease
     to  Eighty-One  Thousand, Nine Hundred Dollars  ($81,900)  per  month.
     Beginning April 1, 1997, the Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall increase
     to  Eighty-Seven  Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars  ($87,750)  per
     month.    Commencing  April  1,  1998,  and  upon  every   anniversary
     thereafter during the Lease Term, the Guaranteed Monthly Payment shall
     be  increased  by  multiplying it by  the Cost of  Living  Factor  (as
     hereinafter defined).  The "Cost of Living Factor" for any date during
     the  Term  shall  be a fraction whose numerator is  the  index  figure
     stated  in  the  Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers  (CPI-U;
     U.S.  City Average; All Items 1982-84=100) published by the Bureau  of
     Statistics of the United States Department of Labor in effect on  such
     date and whose denominator is the index figure for such Consumer Price
     Index  in  effect twelve months prior to such date; provided, however,
     that regardless of the actual Cost of Living Factor calculated in  the
     foregoing  manner the Cost of Living Factor shall never be  less  than
     One  and  Two Hundredths (1.02) nor more than One and Five Hundredths.
     If  such  "Consumer Price Index" is discontinued, the Cost  of  Living
     Factor  shall  be  based on comparable statistics on  changes  in  the
     purchasing power of the consumer dollar for the applicable periods  as
     published by a responsible financial periodical report of a recognized
     governmental or private authority.

           8.    The Original Agreement is hereby amended by inserting  the
following phrase at the end of the first sentence of Section 9.2:

          , subject, however, to Section 4.2(c).

      9.    The Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the second
sentence  of  Section 10.14 in its entirety, and replacing in lieu  thereof
the following:

     However, each party hereto and the Joint Venture shall have a ten (10)-
     day  period  to cure any default of any of its obligations  hereunder,
     such  period to begin upon receipt by the defaulting party of  written
     notice from the non-defaulting party.


      10.  Except as amended herein, the Joint Venture Agreement remains in
full  force and effect, and FHC and KCSC ratify the Joint Venture Agreement
as amended herein.

      11.   All  capitalized terms used in this Second  Amendment  but  not
defined  herein  shall  have the meanings ascribed  thereto  in  the  Joint
Venture Agreement.

      12.   This  Second  Amendment  may  be  executed  in  any  number  of
counterparts,  each of which will be deemed an original and  all  of  which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.
