Casino Resource Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the "COMPANY"),
hereby amends this registration statement to deregister an aggregate of 245,786
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, held by the shareholders listed below.
The Company had previously filed, on February 23, 1996, with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION"), a Registration Statement on Form S-3
(Registration No. 333-1534)(the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), covering the resale
of 2,161,230 shares of Common Stock by certain Selling Shareholders. By Post-
Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement filed with the
Commission on December 22, 1997, the Company deregistered an aggregate of
1,550,944 shares of Common Stock. The Company is seeking to deregister an
additional 245,786 shares because such shares have not been sold and the
Company no longer has an obligation to register such shares.
