                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Members of Treasure Chest Casino, L.L.C.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Treasure Chest Casino, L.L.C.
(a Louisiana Limited Liability Company ("the Company") as of June 30, 1997 and
1996, and the related statements of income, members' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Treasure Chest Casino, L.L.C.
as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Treasure Chest
Casino, L.L.C., herein referred to as the "Company". The Company was organized
on August 27, 1993 as a Louisiana Limited Liability Company whose principal
members include Robert J. Guidry and Boyd Kenner, Inc. The Company shall
dissolve on December 31, 2043 unless sooner dissolved pursuant to the
provisions of the Limited Liability Company Law or the Operating Agreement
executed by its members. Mr. Guidry is the majority member and chief executive
officer. Boyd Kenner, Inc. is responsible for the day to day operations of the
Company in accordance with a management agreement discussed in Note 7.
Subsequent to the organization date through September 5, 1994, the Company was
primarily involved in the development and construction of a riverboat casino
facility in Kenner, Louisiana which commenced operations on September 5, 1994.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less. These investments are stated at cost which
approximates fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out and retail inventory methods.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Costs of major improvements, including interest incurred during
construction of new facilities, are capitalized; costs of normal repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of
assets are recognized as incurred. The Company capitalized interest costs of
approximately $183,000 and $786,000 during the years ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. There were no such costs capitalized during the year ended
June 30, 1997.

Revenue and Promotional Allowances

Casino revenue represents the net win from gaming activities, which is the
difference between gaming wins and losses. Revenues include the estimated
retail value of food and beverage and other items provided to customers on a
complimentary basis. Such amounts are then deducted as promotional allowances.
The estimated cost of providing these promotional allowances is charged to the
casino department in the following amounts:

</TABLE>

Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes; therefore,
income taxes are the responsibility of the individual members. As a result, no
income taxes are recognized in the accompanying Statements of Income.

Preopening Expense

Costs incurred prior to the opening of new facilities are capitalized as
incurred and charged to expense upon commencement of operations. Preopening
expense consists primarily of personnel, training, and promotional expense. For
the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company expensed $3.1 million in preopening
expense related to the opening of Treasure Chest Casino. There were no such
costs for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 or 1996.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period.
Significant estimates used by the Company include the estimated useful lives
for depreciable and amortizable assets and the estimated allowance for doubtful
accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1996 and 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. These reclassifications had
no effect on the Company's net income.

Note 2. -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Components of accounts receivable at June 30 are as follows:

The Company is subject to a lease agreement with the City of Kenner for its
parking lot and other amenities including additional city police services. The
primary term of the lease is for 5 years beginning on July 1, 1994. The Company
has the right to extend the lease term for six additional renewal terms of five
years each. This lease requires the Company to pay to the City of Kenner one
percent of its net gaming proceeds and a $2.50 per passenger boarding fee
annually. The City of Kenner's Police Department will receive the greater of
one percent of net gaming proceeds or $400,000 annually. Minimum lease payments
for 1998 are based on the prior year net gaming proceeds and admissions;
therefore, for 1999 and future years, the City of Kenner minimum lease payments
cannot be projected. Such amounts will be significantly greater than the
minimum payments reflected above.

Additionally, the Company has a lease agreement with the State of Louisiana for
use of the water bottom of Lake Pontchartrain. The primary term of this lease
is for 10 years beginning on March 9, 1994. The Company is required to pay an
annual fee of $87,600.

Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995 was
approximately $6.8 million, $8.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and is
included in selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying
statements of income.

The Company is subject to various claims and litigation in the  normal course
of business. In the opinion of management, all pending legal matters are either
adequately covered by insurance or, if not insured, will not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 7. - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In accordance with its management agreement, the Company pays a management fee
to Boyd Kenner, Inc. equal to 10% of earnings before interest and depreciation
and amortization expense. Management fees for the years ended June 30, 1997,
1996 and 1995 were approximately $3.1 million, $3.0 million and $3.4 million,
respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expense on
the accompanying statements of income. The management agreement was terminated
in connection with the acquisition described in Note 8.

Until February 1997, marine operations were conducted by an entity controlled
by the majority member of the Company. In February 1997, the Company purchased
the marine operations for $200,000.

A minority member of the Company is a partner in the law firm of Adams & Reese.
Legal expenses for services rendered by Adams & Reese were approximately
$581,000, $797,000 and $740,000 during the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

The Company has an unsecured demand note payable to the majority member with a
balance of $1 million at June 30, 1997 and 1996. This note bears interest
equal to the prime rate plus 2%. The interest rate at June 30, 1997 was 10.5%.
In addition, the Company has another note payable to the majority member (see
Note 5).

NOTE 8. - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 30, 1997, Boyd Kenner, Inc. completed the acquisition of the
remaining 85% of the Company that it did not previously own. The purchase price
of the acquisition was approximately $113 million, including the assumption of
debt.
