                          LADY LUCK GAMING CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



1.   The Company and Basis of Presentation

    Certain notes and other  information have been condensed or omitted from the
interim  financial  statements  presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Therefore,  these financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the
Company's  1997 Annual  Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of  management,  all
adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring  adjustments)  considered necessary
for a fair  presentation  have been included.  The results for the three and six
month  periods  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of
future financial results.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the amounts of revenues and expenses  during the
reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Among the
estimates  made by management is the  evaluation  of the  recoverability  of the
carrying values of the land held for development and the reserve for disposition
costs related to the sale of Lady Luck Biloxi's  operating  assets as more fully
described   below.   The   Company   has  made   certain   financial   statement
reclassifications  for the three and six month  periods  ended June 30,  1997 in
order to classify  amounts in a manner  consistent  with the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998.

    The  consolidated  financial  statements  of Lady  Luck  Gaming  Corporation
("LLGC"),  a  Delaware  corporation,  include  the  accounts  of  LLGC  and  its
subsidiaries  (collectively  the  "Company").  For the periods  presented in the
financial statements,  the Company's operations primarily include those of LLGC,
Lady Luck Gaming Finance Corporation  ("LLGFC"),  a Delaware  corporation;  Lady
Luck  Mississippi,  Inc. ("LLM"),  Lady Luck Biloxi,  Inc. ("LLB") (see Note 9),
Magnolia  Lady,  Inc.  ("MLI"),  Lady Luck Tunica  ("LLT"),  each a  Mississippi
corporation  (collectively  the  "Mississippi  Companies")  and Gold Coin,  Inc.
("GCI") (see Note 10). The Company also owns an interest in a joint venture with
Bettendorf  Riverfront  Development  Company  ("BRDC") and  previously  owned an
investment  in a joint  venture  (the  "Bally's  Joint  Venture")  with  Bally's
Entertainment  Corp.  ("Bally's") (see Note 4) which are and have been accounted
for under the equity method. LLGC and its subsidiaries were organized to develop
and operate gaming and hotel properties in emerging jurisdictions.

    LLGC and LLGFC were  formed in  February  1993.  LLM began  dockside  casino
operations  on February 26, 1993 in Natchez,  Mississippi  and acquired and took
over operation of the 147-room River Park Hotel in Natchez, Mississippi on April
15,  1996;  Lady Luck  Central  City,  Inc.,  formerly  Gold  Coin  Incorporated
("LLCC"),  a Delaware  corporation and subsidiary of the Company,  opened on May
28, 1993 and sold its real property and operating  assets and ceased  operations
effective  February 19, 1998 (see Note 10); LLB began dockside casino operations
on  December  13, 1993 in Biloxi,  Mississippi  and sold its real  property  and
operating assets and ceased operations effective June 7, 1998 (see Note 9); MLI,
which does  business  as Lady Luck  Rhythm & Blues,  commenced  dockside  gaming
operations on June 27, 1994 in Coahoma County, Mississippi,  commenced operation
of a 173-room hotel on August 16, 1994,  commenced gaming  operations of Country
Casino and the Pavilion on May 21, 1996 and acquired and took over  operation of
the 120-room  Riverbluff  Hotel in Helena,  Arkansas on July 3, 1996;  Lady Luck
Quad  Cities,  Inc.  ("LLQC"),  a Delaware  corporation  and  subsidiary  of the
Company,  formed a joint venture with BRDC (the  "Bettendorf  Joint Venture") to
operate a casino in Bettendorf, Iowa which commenced operation on April 21, 1995
(see  Note 4);  Old  River  Development,  Inc.,  a  subsidiary  of the  Company,
commenced  operation of a 240-room  hotel on August 24, 1994,  contributed it to
the  Bally's  Joint  Venture  in March 1995 and sold its  equity  investment  to
Bally's   effective   September  30,  1997  (see  Note  4);  and,  L.L.   Gaming
Reservations,  Inc., a Nevada  corporation and subsidiary of the Company,  began
operating a central reservations center for the Company's hotels on September 3,
1996. Lady Luck Vicksburg,  Inc.  ("LLV"),  a subsidiary of the Company and Lady
Luck  Kimmswick,  Inc.  ("LLK"),  a 93% owned  subsidiary  of the  Company and a
Missouri corporation, are in various stages of development and have no operating
history.

2.     Certain Risks and Uncertainties

    The  Company's  operations  in  Mississippi  and Iowa are  dependent  on the
continued  licensability or  qualifications  of the Company and its subsidiaries
that  hold the  gaming  licenses  in these  jurisdictions.  Such  licensing  and
qualifications  are reviewed  periodically  by the gaming  authorities  in these
states.

                          LADY LUCK GAMING CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



    A significant portion of the Company's  consolidated  revenues and operating
income  are  generated  by the  Company's  Coahoma  County,  Mississippi  casino
operations.  These  casinos are highly  dependent  on  patronage by residents in
Arkansas. A change in general economic conditions,  closure of the Helena Bridge
or a change in the extent and nature of  regulations  enabling  casino gaming in
Arkansas could adversely affect these casinos' future operating results.


3.   Reverse Stock Split and Net Income Per Share

    Effective  June 4, 1998, the Company's  shareholders  approved a one-for-six
reverse stock split with regard to its Common Stock (the "Reverse  Split").  The
effects of the Reverse Split were to reduce the number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common  Stock from  29,285,698  to  4,880,613  and to increase the par
value of these  shares  from $0.001 to $0.006 per share.  In lieu of  fractional
shares  resulting  from the Reverse  Split,  stockholders  shall  receive a cash
payment from the sale of the aggregate fractional shares on the open market. The
Reverse  Split did not change the number of  authorized  shares of the Company's
Common Stock and had no effect on the Company's  Preferred Stock. All references
in the financial  statements  to number of shares,  per share amounts and market
prices of the Company's Common Stock have been retroactively restated to reflect
the decreased number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

    As of  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standard No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128
establishes new accounting standards for the computation and financial statement
presentation  of earnings  per share data.  The adoption of SFAS No. 128 did not
affect the  Company's  earnings  per share  calculations.  As of June 30,  1998,
options to purchase  68,000  shares of common stock at exercise  prices  ranging
from $15.00 to $18.72 per share were outstanding and exercisable,  respectively,
and could potentially  dilute earnings per share in future periods.  The related
weighted  average  number of shares of common  stock  were not  included  in the
computations  of earnings per share  because the options'  exercise  prices were
greater than the average  market prices of common stock during the three and six
month  periods  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997  and any  effective  would  be
antidilutive.


4    Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

    The  Company's  investment  in the joint  ventures  with BRDC and its former
investment  in the joint venture with Bally's are accounted for under the equity
method and the  Company's  portion of income or loss from the joint  ventures is
included  in  Equity  in  Net  Income  of   Unconsolidated   Affiliates  in  the
accompanying Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of Operations for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

     Bettendorf Joint Venture

     In December  1994, the Company  entered the  Bettendorf  Joint Venture with
BRDC  to  develop  and  operate  a  casino  in  Bettendorf,   Iowa  ("Lady  Luck
Bettendorf").  The joint  venture  agreement  required that the Company and BRDC
each contribute  cash to the Bettendorf  Joint Venture of $3.0 million in return
for a 50% ownership interest. In addition, BRDC is leasing certain real property
to the Bettendorf Joint Venture at a lease rate equal to $150,000 per month. The
Company is leasing a gaming  vessel  with a cost of  $21,635,000  and a carrying
value net of accumulated  depreciation as of June 30, 1998 of $19,694,000 to the
Bettendorf Joint Venture for approximately  $189,000 per month, which amount was
determined based upon arms-length  negotiations between the Company and BRDC. In
addition,  from inception of the Bettendorf  Joint Venture through  December 31,
1997, the Company had been leasing  certain  gaming  equipment to the Bettendorf
Joint Venture with a cost of $3,705,000  for  approximately  $122,000 per month,
its fair market  rental  value.  Pursuant  to such  equipment  lease,  effective
January 1, 1998, the Company sold the equipment to the Bettendorf  Joint Venture
for a negotiated amount of $712,000 cash.

     Lady  Luck  Bettendorf  commenced  operations  on April 21,  1995.  All net
profits and losses from all  operations  of Lady Luck  Bettendorf  are allocated
equally between the Company and BRDC. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company was
granted the right to manage Lady Luck  Bettendorf  with  substantially  the same
terms and fees as the Company's  wholly-owned  casinos,  less $37,500 abated per
month,  with up to $325,000 annually of the fees received by the Company paid to
BRDC as consultants.

Mississippi to Hilton Hotels Corporation,  the majority owner and manager of the
property (the "Partnership Interest Redemption Agreement") (See Note 5).

      The Indenture, as amended and supplemented (the "Indenture"), covering the
Company's 11 7/8% First  Mortgage  Notes due 2001 (the " 2001  Notes")  provides
for,  among  other  things,  restrictions  on the  Company's  and certain of its
subsidiaries'  abilities  (a) to pay  dividends  or other  distributions  on its
capital stock,  (b) to incur additional  indebtedness,  (c) to make asset sales,
(d) to  engage  in other  lines  of  business,  and (e) to  maintain  a  minimum
consolidated net worth, as defined in the Indenture.  The Company believes it is
in compliance with the Indenture,  as amended and  supplemented,  as of June 30,
1998.

      The 2001 Notes bear  interest at the rate of 11-7/8%  per annum  effective
October 15,  1995 (prior to that time they bore  interest at the rate of 10-1/2%
per  annum).  Interest on the 2001 Notes held by each  holder who  consented  to
certain amendments to and waivers of continuing  defaults under the Indenture in
1996 (the  "Amendments and Waivers") will be payable  quarterly on each March 1,
June 1,  September 1 and  December 1, so long as the 2001 Notes are  outstanding
(interest on the notes held by each holder who did not consent to the Amendments
and Waivers will continue to be payable  semi-annually  on March 1 and September
1). In addition,  the Company is obligated within 180 days after the end of each
year, commencing with the year ending December 31, 1996, to purchase on the open
market, or to make an offer to purchase from the holders at par, 2001 Notes with
a principal  amount equal to Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the  Indenture) for
such year,  provided that the Company will be able to credit  towards the amount
of 2001 Notes  required to be  purchased in any year any amount of 2001 Notes it
has purchased since January 1, 1996 which it has not previously used as a credit
in any prior year.  There was no Excess  Cash Flow for the years ended  December
31, 1997 and 1996.  The Company may also  repurchase a portion of the 2001 Notes
from time to time in early  satisfaction  of any  required  repurchase  expected
pursuant to the  Indenture or  otherwise,  the amount of which and the timing of
repurchase  cannot  currently  be estimated  and is  dependent on adequate  cash
availability and market conditions.

      The Company  continues to explore  various  options to refinance  the 2001
Notes.  However,  there  can be no  assurance  as to  the  timing  of  any  such
refinancing  or that the Company will continue  these  pursuits and, if pursued,
that terms acceptable to the Company can be negotiated.

      Sale of Biloxi Operating Assets

      Pursuant to an Asset  Purchase  Agreement,  on June 11, 1998,  the Company
received  approximately  $15.1 million cash from Grand  Casinos of  Mississippi,
Inc. and Grand  Casinos,  Inc.  (collectively  "Grand  Casinos") for the sale of
substantially  all  of  the  assets,  excluding  gaming  equipment  and  certain
non-contiguous real property,  associated with its Lady Luck Biloxi casino which
ceased  operations June 7, 1998. In accordance  with the Indenture,  the Company
has 180 days  after  receiving  the $15.1  million  to invest  the money and any
earnings  thereon in a Related  Business (as defined in the  Indenture).  If the
Company does not invest the funds in a Related  Business before such time, under
certain circumstances, the Company must make an offer to repurchase a portion of
the 2001  Notes at a price of 101% of par for the  amount of the funds  that was
not invested in a Related Business.  Accordingly, the proceeds from the sale and
earnings  thereon have been  classified  as  Restricted  Cash (as defined in the
Indenture) as of June 30, 1998.  Any remaining  funds not used to repurchase the
2001 Notes tendered,  if any, will become unrestricted and available for general
purposes.

      Sale of Interest in Bally's Joint Venture

      Pursuant to a Partnership  Interest Redemption  Agreement,  on November 3,
1997, the Company received  approximately  $15.3 million cash for its investment
in the  Bally's  Joint  Venture.  The Company  will  invest $5.7  million of the
proceeds from the sale of its interest in the Bally's Joint Venture in a Related
Business (as defined in the  Indenture).  Also in accordance with the Indenture,
the  Company,  on April 16,  1998,  offered  to  repurchase  up to $9.6  million
principal  amount of the 2001 Notes (the  "Tender  Offer") at a price of 101% of
par plus accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon.  The Tender Offer expired on May
14, 1998 and none of the 2001 Notes were tendered.  The remaining  proceeds from
the sale and interest  earned  thereon  became  unrestricted  and  available for
general purposes at that time.


6.    Employment Agreements

     On October 24, 1994,  LLGC entered Letter  Agreements with Alain J. Uboldi,
LLGC's President, Chief Operating Officer and Director, and Rory J. Reid, LLGC's
Senior   Vice-President,   General   Counsel,   Secretary   and  Director   (the
"Agreements").  The Agreements provide that in the event of a Change of Control,
as defined in the Agreements,  and the subsequent  termination of the employment
of either Mr.  Uboldi or Mr. Reid,  under certain  circumstances,  LLGC would be
required to pay to Mr. Uboldi and Mr. Reid a lump sum severance payment equal to
2.99 times the sum of their respective annual base salary plus the amount of any
bonus  paid  in the  year  preceding  such  termination.  In the  event  of such
termination,  Mr. Uboldi and Mr. Reid would also receive in cash an amount equal
to the product of the difference between  subtracting the exercise price of each
option held by Mr.  Uboldi or Mr. Reid (whether or not fully  exercisable)  from
the current  price of LLGC's common stock,  as defined.  Further,  in connection
with the  Agreements,  Mr. Uboldi and Mr. Reid would  receive life,  disability,
accident and health insurance benefits  substantially  similar to those they are
receiving  immediately  prior to their  termination  for a 36-month period after
such termination.


7.   Litigation

     Shareholder Class Action Lawsuits

     The Company has been named as a defendant in a purported  shareholder class
action lawsuit alleging violations by the Company of the Securities Exchange Act
of  1933  and  the  Securities   Exchange  Act  of  1934  for  alleged  material
misrepresentations   and  omissions  in  connection   with  the  Company's  1993
prospectus and initial  public  offering of Common Stock.  The complaint  seeks,
inter alia, injunctive relief,  rescission and unspecified compensatory damages.
In addition to the Company,  the complaint  also names as  defendants  Andrew H.
Tompkins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LLGC, Alain Uboldi, President,
Director and Chief Operating Officer of LLGC,  Michael Hlavsa,  the former Chief
Financial Officer of LLGC, Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. and Oppenheimer & Co., Inc.,
who acted as lead underwriters for the initial public offering.  The Company has
retained  outside  counsel to respond to the complaint.  On October 8, 1997, the
Company was served with an order of the court  dismissing all of the Plaintiff's
Section 10(b) and eleven of the Plaintiff's sixteen Section 11, 12 and 15

                                       12

allegations  with prejudice for failing to adequately  state a claim.  The court
also  ordered  the  Plaintiffs  to and the  Plaintiffs  have  filed  an  amended
complaint  regarding  the five  Section  11,  12 and 15  claims  which  were not
dismissed with prejudice.  While the outcome of this matter cannot  presently be
determined, the Company believes based in part on advice of counsel, that it has
meritorious defenses.

     Greek Lawsuits

     The Company and certain of its joint venture  partners  (the  "Defendants")
are defendants in a lawsuit brought by the country of Greece and its Minister of
Tourism  before  the Greek  Multi-Member  Court of First  Instance.  The  action
alleges that the Defendants  failed to make certain  payments in connection with
the gaming license bid process for Patras,  Greece.  The payments the Company is
alleged  to have been  required  to make  aggregate  approximately  2.1  billion
drachma  (which was  approximately  $7.1  million as of July 29, 1998 based upon
published  exchange  rates).  Although it is difficult to determine  the damages
being sought from the lawsuit,  the action may seek damages up to such aggregate
amount. The cases are still in their preliminary stages and their outcome cannot
be predicted with any degree of certainty;  however, the Company believes, based
in part on advice of counsel, that it has meritorious defenses.

     A Greek architect filed an action against the Company  alleging that he was
retained  by the  Company to provide  professional  services  with  respect to a
casino in  Loutraki,  Greece.  The  plaintiff in such action  sought  damages of
approximately $800,000. On July 29, 1996, the Company's Greek counsel was served
with a decision by the Athens Court of First Instance in such matter.  The Greek
Court entered judgment  against the Company in the amount of approximately  87.1
million drachma (which was approximately $293,000 as of July 29, 1998 based upon
published  exchange  rates) plus interest.  The Company has appealed the Court's
decision.  During  the fourth  quarter  of 1997,  the  Company's  Greek  counsel
informed  the Company that it is more likely than not that the  appellate  court
will not overturn the Athens Court of First Instance's  decision.  A reserve has
been provided during the fourth quarter of 1997 and interest is accrued monthly;
however, the Company intends to continue to defend itself in this matter.

      Other Matters

      On November 5, 1996, the United States  Bankruptcy  Court for the Northern
District of  Mississippi  dismissed a lawsuit which had been brought by Superior
Boat Works,  Inc.  ("Superior")  against  LLM on or about  September  23,  1993.
Superior had  previously  done  construction  work for LLM on its Natchez  barge
("Lady Luck Natchez"), as well as some minor preparatory work on one other barge
of the Company.  Such proceeding alleged damages of approximately $47.0 million,
of which approximately $3.4 million was alleged for additional construction work
on Lady Luck Natchez and the remaining amount was alleged for unjust enrichment,
for causing the bankruptcy of Superior and for future work Superior  expected to
perform for the  Company.  Superior  has  appealed  the  decision to dismiss the
action. The Company,  based in part on the advice of its counsel,  believes that
it has meritorious defenses and does not believe that the appeal of the decision
will have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  condition or
results of operations.


8.    Commitments and Contingencies

      Lease Commitments

      LLGC on its own or through its operating subsidiaries,  has entered into a
series of leases and options to lease in various locations where it is operating
or intends to develop and operate dockside casinos. The leases are primarily for
a term of 40 years from the date of execution  and are  cancelable at the option
of LLGC with a maximum period of notice of 60 days with the exception of certain
leases  entered into by LLB and Lady Luck Gulfport,  Inc.,  also a subsidiary of
the  Company,  which  are  cancelable  upon  six  months  notice  on  the  fifth
anniversary of the  commencement  date of such leases and upon six months notice
on any fifth  anniversary  date  thereafter.  In addition,  LLGC,  on its own or
through its operating  subsidiaries,  has entered into certain options to either
lease or purchase  additional  property in other states.  Most of the leases are
contingent upon regulatory  approval of the lease and all leases contain certain
periodic rent adjustments.

      Construction Commitments

         Bettendorf Joint Venture

      The  Bettendorf  Joint  Venture is  currently  constructing  an  expansion
project  pursuant to its master-plan at a cost of  approximately  $39.5 million.
The project,  which began  construction  June 23, 1997, is planned to include an
approximately  260 room hotel  with a fully  enclosed  walkway to the  riverboat
casino, 30-50 slip marina, a 500-car parking garage and a bypass over the nearby
railroad to improve access. In addition,  during April 1998, the Iowa Racing and
Gaming  Commission  approved the addition of up to 230 new slot machines and six
table games at the Bettendorf Joint Venture.  The expansion project financing is
non-recourse  to the Company and includes a $17.5  million  bank first  mortgage
note, a $5.0 million  second  mortgage from an affiliated  company of BRDC,  and
$7.5 million in tax increment financing from the City of Bettendorf to be repaid
from  property  taxes and in exchange  for  deeding the  overpass to the City of
Bettendorf.  The cost of the overpass is not  expected to exceed such  financing
from the City of Bettendorf.  The balance of the expansion  project's cost is to
be paid  from the  Bettendorf  Joint  Venture's  cash on hand.  The  project  is
scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 1998.

         Service Marine Vessel

      The  Company has  entered  into an  agreement  for the  construction  of a
cruising  gaming  vessel in the amount of $16.0 million and as of June 30, 1998,
approximately   $6.0  million  has  been   expended   under  this  contract  and
approximately  $1.9 million is included in construction  payables.  Construction
has been  discontinued  and is not  anticipated  to resume  until such time as a
suitable development project proceeds.

         Natchez Site

      Lady Luck Natchez was required  under its current lease to move its casino
barge several  hundred feet to another  docking  facility on land subject to its
existing lease by February  1998.  Management has not relocated the casino barge
and the  lessor  has  allowed  the  casino to remain  in its  current  location.
Management  and the lessor have  reached an  agreement in principle to amend the
existing lease to allow the barge to remain in its current location. Pursuant to
such  agreement  the lessor  agrees to allow the barge to remain at its  current
location in consideration of the Company's  agreement to pay liquidated  damages
of $1.2 million in the event it  terminates  the lease at any time during the 10
year period following the execution of the lease amendment.  Should an amendment
to the  lease  reflecting  the  preliminary  agreement  discussed  above  not be
executed,  the cost of relocating the barge is currently estimated not to exceed
$1.2 million.  Pursuant to the existing lease,  the lessor has asserted that the
Company did not make certain improvements to the site required by the agreement.
As part of the preliminary  agreement discussed above, the Company has agreed to
pay the lessor  $500,000  in  liquidated  damages  and to pay up to  $250,000 to
construct additional parking spaces on the leased property.

      Development Stage Projects

      In addition to its Operating Casinos, the Company has riverboat,  dockside
or land-based  casino  projects in various  stages of  development in Kimmswick,
Missouri;  Vicksburg,  Mississippi; and Vancouver, British Columbia. The current
status of each of these Development Stage Projects is described below.

         Kimmswick, Missouri

      The first two phases of the  project,  as  planned,  include a  land-based
hotel and casinos onboard two separate vessels (the "Missouri Project"). LLK has
entered into an option to lease the Kimmswick Site. The proposed site is located
on an  approximately  45-acre  parcel  of land in  Jefferson  County,  Missouri,
approximately 25 miles south of St. Louis (the "Kimmswick Site").

                                   (Unaudited)



      As of June 30, 1998, the Company has invested  approximately  $8.6 million
in the Missouri Project which  investment has been fully reserved.  The Missouri
Project  is  estimated  to  cost  an  additional   $105.0  million  to  complete
development  of the first two phases.  The  proposed  project has  received  the
appropriate  zoning approval from the Jefferson  County Planning  Commission and
has received a U.S.  Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit.  However,  a new permit
might be necessary due to changes in the proposed  project design  subsequent to
receiving the permit.

      The Company has continued its efforts towards  obtaining a license for the
Missouri  Project  and  provided  updated  information  to the  Missouri  Gaming
Commission.  The  Missouri  Gaming  Commission  investigates  applicants  at its
discretion and has not yet selected the Company to be investigated. Furthermore,
there can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will be  selected  or obtain such
approvals  from the Missouri  Gaming  Commission.  While the Company  intends to
continue  seeking  license  approval  by the  Missouri  Gaming  Commission,  the
eventual  development  of the  Missouri  Project  may also be  subject  to:  (i)
satisfactory  resolution of a November  1997 Missouri  Supreme Court ruling that
several existing Missouri gaming facilities are illegal due to not being located
upon the  Mississippi or Missouri rivers (the Kimmswick Site is located upon the
Mississippi  River,  but  resolution  of the decision  could delay  selection of
additional applicants for licensing investigation);  (ii) the selection of three
new Missouri Gaming  Commission  members,  which the Company believes may not be
familiar  with the  Company's  application;  (iii) gaming  revenues in the major
metropolitan  areas of  Missouri  have not  increased  commensurate  with recent
increases in capacity,  causing  concerns of potential  competitive  saturation;
and, (iv)  regulatory  factors,  including loss limits,  have  generally  caused
gaming  operations  to  underperform   relative  to  facilities  in  neighboring
jurisdictions without such restrictions.

         The Vicksburg Project

      The development as planned will include a riverboat casino, an approximate
200-room  hotel,  an 800-car  parking  garage,  and  additional  amenities  (the
"Vicksburg  Project").  The  Vicksburg  Project  is  expected  to be  located on
approximately  23.9 acres of land owned by the Company  immediately south of the
I-20 bridge along the Mississippi  River,  with access to Washington  Street, in
Vicksburg, Mississippi.

     During 1997, the Company  entered into an agreement (the  "Horseshoe  Joint
Venture  Agreement") with Horseshoe  Gaming,  LLC  ("Horseshoe") to form a joint
venture to complete and operate the  Vicksburg  Project.  Under the terms of the
joint venture agreement:  (i) the Vicksburg Project will be operated by a wholly
owned  subsidiary of Horseshoe  Gaming,  LLC; (ii)  Horseshoe will own an equity
interest of 75%, with LLV,  holding the remaining  25%; and,  (iii) the partners
will  contribute  real  property  and other  previously  acquired  assets with a
combined   agreed-upon  value  of  approximately  $42.0  million.   The  Company
anticipates  certain  modifications  to the  joint  venture  agreement  will  be
necessary  before the joint venture may be formed to reflect  certain changes in
project scope.

     A gaming license was granted to LLV on August 18, 1994 and has subsequently
been renewed  through July 2000.  As of June 30, 1998,  the Company has invested
approximately  $14.7  million in the  Vicksburg  Project  with a net  investment
remaining  of  approximately   $8.4  million  after  project   development  cost
write-downs  and  reserves  for assets which may not be usable in the project as
currently  contemplated.  Management's estimate of net realizable value is based
upon  assumptions  regarding  future  economic,  market  and  gaming  regulatory
conditions  including the viability of the Vicksburg Site for the development of
a casino project.  Changes in these  assumptions  could result in changes in the
estimated net realizable value of the property. The total cost of the project is
initially estimated to be approximately $100.0 million including the agreed-upon
value of contributed assets.

     The  consummation of the  transactions  contemplated by the Horseshoe Joint
Venture  Agreement are subject to the  fulfillment  of several  conditions  (the
"Conditions"),  including but not limited to, the partners'  future agreement as
to the  scope  and  cost  of the  project,  required  regulatory  approval,  and
completion of project financing.  The Horseshoe Joint Venture Agreement provides
that  it may be  terminated  by  LLV or  Horseshoe  as of  April  1,  1998  (the
"Termination  Date") if the  Conditions  are not  satisfied  or waived as of the
Termination Date or without cause. All of the Conditions were not satisfied

 prior to the Termination Date. While the partners have not elected to terminate
the Horseshoe Joint Venture  Agreement as of the termination  date, there can be
no assurance  that LLV or  Horseshoe  will not  terminate  the  Horseshoe  Joint
Venture Agreement.  Furthermore,  there can be no assurance that if consummated,
that the joint venture will be successful.

     In addition,  during the fourth  quarter of 1996,  the  Mississippi  Gaming
Commission found a proposed casino site on the Big Black River  unsuitable.  The
Big Black River is located about 13 miles from Vicksburg,  between Vicksburg and
Jackson,  the major  population  base from which  Vicksburg  casinos  draw their
customers.  An affected  landowner  on the Big Black River sued the  Mississippi
Gaming Commission after it rejected the site, and in the fourth quarter of 1997,
a circuit court found the site suitable.  The Mississippi  Gaming Commission and
City of Vicksburg  have appealed the circuit court decision to the State Supreme
Court. In addition,  on July 16, 1998, the Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted
a regulation,  which is expected to take effect within 30 days of adoption, that
would no longer allow developments such as projects on the Big Black River.

     Casino  developments on the Big Black River could  significantly  adversely
affect operating casinos in Vicksburg, as well as the viability of the Vicksburg
Project.  While the Company believes that, based on previous rulings in favor of
the  Mississippi  Gaming  Commission,  the Big  Black  River  will  not be found
suitable  for casino  development,  it will be some time  before a ruling  comes
forth,  and there can be no  assurances  that the circuit  court  ruling will be
overturned.

         Lady Luck Vancouver

     The Province of British  Columbia (the  "Province"),  through its Lotteries
Advisory  Committee  (the  "LAC")  invited  interested  parties  to respond to a
Request for Proposal  ("RFP")  relating to a planned  expansion of gaming in the
Province. The gaming expansion is intended to include destination-style casinos,
limited to 30 table games and 300 slots,  with the slot machines  being provided
and owned by the Province.  Pursuant to the RFP, the Provincial  government will
participate in the revenue and net income generated by gaming  operations,  with
an initial  licensing  period of ten years. In addition,  local host governments
will  participate  in the net income  generated by projects in their  respective
jurisdictions for providing requisite services.

     The Company  responded to the RFP during the fourth quarter of 1997, with a
proposed  project to be developed on Tsawwassen  First Nation Band Reserve lands
(the "Vancouver  Project"),  located about 20 miles south of downtown Vancouver.
The Vancouver Project,  which is expected to cost  approximately  $25.0 to $30.0
million,  includes a 55,000 square foot gaming and entertainment facility and an
11,000  square  foot  Aboriginal   cultural   center,   all  to  be  located  on
approximately  20 acres.  The  proposed  gaming  facility  will also  include an
800-seat bingo hall.

     The LAC has been  reviewing  the  various  responses  to the  RFP,  and has
informed  the Company  that its response  has  successfully  been  short-listed.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company  entered a development  agreement
with the  Tsawwassen  First Nation as host  community and has an option to lease
property  on which the  Vancouver  Project  is to be  constructed.  The  Company
believes that the LAC will make selections of successful  proponents  during the
third quarter of 1998. After a proponent is selected, it then must negotiate the
various operating agreements with the Provincial government and obtain financing
for the project. While the Company believes that it may be selected for a gaming
license,  there  can be no  assurances  that it will be  selected,  nor  that an
agreement with the Province of British  Columbia can be successfully  negotiated
or that financing can be obtained. As of June 30, 1998, the Company has invested
approximately  $700,000  of capital in this  project  (which was  expensed  when
incurred)  and does not  anticipate  investing  additional  material  amounts of
capital prior to licensing.

     Environmental Matters

     The Company is subject to certain  federal,  state and local  environmental
protection,  health and safety laws,  regulations  and ordinances  that apply to
businesses  generally,  such as the Clean  Air Act,  the Clean  Water  Act,  the
Resource  Conservation  and Recovery Act, CERCLA,  the  Occupational  Safety and
Health Act, and similar state statutes.

     Although the Company  knows of no  pre-existing  conditions at the intended
sites  for the  Development  Stage  Projects  that will  result in any  material
environmental  liability or delay,  there can be no assurance that  pre-existing
conditions  will not be discovered and result in material  liability or delay to
the Company.

     Other  than  those  described,  the  Company  has not  made,  and  does not
anticipate  making,  material  expenditures  with respect to such  environmental
protection, and health and safety laws and regulations.  However, the compliance
or cleanup costs  associated  with such laws,  regulations  and  ordinances  may
result in future additional costs to the Company's operations.

     Leverage

     The Company is highly  leveraged.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company's total
indebtedness was approximately $176.9 million and its stockholders'  deficit was
approximately  $27.6 million.  This level of  indebtedness  could have important
consequences to stockholders.  While  management  believes the Company will have
sufficient   cash  flow  to  meet  its  debt  service  and  other  cash  outflow
requirements  and maintain  compliance  with the  covenants of the  Indenture as
supplemented,  to the extent that a substantial  portion of the  Company's  cash
flow from operations  remains dedicated to the payment of principal and interest
on its indebtedness,  such cash flow is not available for other purposes such as
general  operations,  maintenance and improvement of casino and hotel facilities
or expansion of existing sites or into other gaming  markets.  Furthermore,  the
Company's  ability to obtain  additional  financing  in the  future for  working
capital,  capital  expenditures or acquisitions may be limited and the Company's
level of  indebtedness  could limit its flexibility in planning for, or reacting
to, changes in its industry.


9.   Sale of Biloxi Operating Assets

     Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, on June 11, 1998, the Company sold
to Grand Casinos substantially all of the assets, excluding gaming equipment and
certain  non-contiguous  real  property,  associated  with its Lady Luck  Biloxi
casino  which  ceased   operations  June  7,  1998.  The  sale  resulted  in  an
approximately  $2.8  million  gain,  net  of  reserves  for  disposition  costs.
Consideration received from Grand Casinos included the following: (i) base sales
price of $15.0  million;  (ii)  forgiveness  by Grand  Casinos  of the  $714,000
balance of a mortgage  note plus accrued  interest  which had been owed to it by
the Company;  and, (iii) certain other prorations and assumptions of liabilities
and leasehold obligations by Grand Casinos.


10.      Sale of Lady Luck Central City

     Effective  February  19,  1998,  LLCC  sold  substantially  all of its real
property and operating assets, associated with its Lady Luck Central City casino
to the holder of its  mortgage  note in  exchange  for  forgiveness  of the $2.8
million note and the assumption of certain liabilities. During 1997, the Company
recorded a reserve of $7.3 million to write-down  LLCC's assets held for sale to
fair market value less closing  costs,  to reserve for operating  losses in 1998
prior to the  effective  sale date and to reserve  for  estimated  future  lease
payments and write-downs on its parking lot leases which were not assumed by the
purchaser of the assets  sold.  During  March 1998,  LLGC  acquired a portion of
LLCC's leased property with the remainder to be acquired in 1999.


11.      Statement of Position 98-5

     During April 1998, the American  Institute of Certified Public  Accountants
issued   Statement  of  Position  98-5  "Reporting  on  the  Costs  of  Start-up
Activities".  The new standard  requires  that all  companies  expense  costs of
"start-up" activities as those costs are incurred.  The term "start-up" includes
pre-opening,  pre-operating and organization activities. Previously, the Company
had  capitalized  these  items  until the  property  opened at which  time these
cumulative  costs  were  expensed.  Although  the  Company  has  no  capitalized
"start-up"  costs as of June 30, 1998, any "start-up"  costs related to projects
in the development stage will be required to be expensed as incurred.
