B.  Basic Structure:

Acquisition of all 4,646,440 of the [Elsinore Corporation, hereinafter, "E. 
Corp."] Shares held by Seller representing 94.3% of the currently issued and 
outstanding common stock of E. Corp. (the "Shares").

C.  Purchase Price:

Cash purchase price (the "Purchase Price") equal to $3.10 per share (less all 
dividends other than stock dividends and subject to adjustment for other 
distributions, stock splits, stock dividends, share issuances below the 
Purchase Price on a per share basis or repurchases and certain other changes 
to capitalization, in each case mutually agreeable to the parties).  - See 
Schedule A.

D.  Option Price/Period:

Subject to approval by the Board of Directors of E. Corp. (to the extent 
required by applicable law), Purchaser and Seller shall, on or before April 
30, 1997, enter into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") granting 
Purchaser or its nominee the option to purchase all of the Shares (the 
"Option").  Purchaser shall post a clean, irrevocable letter of credit issued 
by an issuer acceptable to Seller upon terms and conditions acceptable to 
Seller and payable upon presentation of a sight draft by Seller ("L/C"), on 
the date of Purchaser's execution and delivery of the Option Agreement to 
Seller (the "Commencement Date"), calculated at 20% of the Remaining Equity 
Value (as defined in Schedule A).  The L/C shall be unconditionally payable 
upon expiration of the Option except if Refund Events (as defined below) 
occur.  "Refund Events" mean (i) Purchaser's inability to acquire, on terms 
set forth in the Option Agreement, options to acquire that number of shares 
which, when exercised and combined with the number of R. Corp. shares 
currently owned by Purchaser or its affiliates, will equal at least 60% of the 
issued and outstanding shares of R. Corp. or (ii) breach by the Seller of any 
covenant contemplated hereby.  The Option shall be exercisable until the 
earlier of (x) April 1, 1998 or (y) eight weeks from the date on which all 
necessary regulatory approvals, including licensing or finding of suitability 
of Purchaser by the Nevada Gaming Commission, approval of changes of control 
of E. Corp. by the Nevada Gaming Commission, Hart-Scott-Rodino approvals, and 
any necessary third party consents (collectively, the "Approvals"), have been 
obtained without any burdensome conditions or effect.  The Option will not be 
exercisable, if in so doing such exercise would be a violation of applicable 
law.  The Option shall be exercisable thereafter until the earlier of (x) 
April 1, 1998 or (y) eight weeks from the date that all Approvals have been 
obtained.

TERM SHEET (FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY - APRIL 1, 1997)


During the period from the Commencement Date until the closing of the 
transactions contemplated hereby (the "Closing") or the expiration of the 
Option, Purchaser shall make to Seller monthly non-refundable payments of 
interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the Remaining Equity Value.  The 
Closing shall take place on the earlier of (1) April 1, 1998 or (2) eight 
weeks from the date on which all Approvals have been obtained.

business combination (each, a "Transaction") with Purchaser or an affiliate of 
Purchaser, or (ii) Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser makes an offer 
("Offer") to purchase any of the outstanding shares of E. Corp. common stock 
held by persons who are not affiliated with Purchaser (the "Remaining Stock"), 
the per share consideration paid to the holders of the Remaining Stock in the 
Transaction or the per share price of the Offer, as the case may be, shall not 
be less than the per share Purchase Price.

F.  Exclusivity:

Neither Seller nor any of its respective affiliates or representatives shall 
solicit, initiate, encourage or participate in discussions concerning any 
proposal or offer from any person or entity relating to any acquisition or 
purchase of all or a material amount of the assets of, or any equity interest 
in, E. Corp. or any merger, consolidation or business combination with E. 
Corp.  E. Corp. shall not be deemed an affiliate or representative of Seller 
for purposes of the foregoing restriction.  Purchaser and Seller shall enter 
into customary voting agreements and a mutually agreed upon lock-up.

G.  Publicity:

Neither party shall make any public announcement with respect to the subject 
matter hereof without the consent of the other party hereto except to the 
extent such public announcement may be required by applicable law.

H.  Fees and Expenses:

All reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses including, without limitation, 
commissions, legal fees and expenses arising in connection with the 
transaction contemplated hereby shall be paid by Purchaser promptly upon 
receipt of reasonably detailed statements therefor.
