Item 5. Other Events
On April 24, 2000, Alpha Hospitality Corporation (the "Company") announced
that it had been made aware that, as reported in an article in the New York
Times on April 22, 2000, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe (the "Tribe") had
purportedly entered into an agreement with Park Place Entertainment ("Park
Place") pursuant to which the Tribe had supposedly granted to Park Place the
exclusive right to build, develop and manage any future casino projects by
the Tribe in New York State.
The Company is entitled to participate in a proposed casino project in
Monticello New York through its previously disclosed interest in Mohawk
Management, L.L.C. Mohawk Management L.L.C. and Catskill Development, LLC are
reviewing the situation and have requested copies of all agreements between the
Tribe and Park Place in order to determine the impact, if any, of such
agreement(s) upon the Monticello project and the actions that should be taken to
protect the interest of Mohawk Management, Catskill Development and the Tribe.
To the extent the foregoing includes forward-looking statements, they involve
risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company's
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company wishes to
caution readers not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1994, and as such, speak only as of the date made.
