(1) Impairment loss related to the St. Charles property.

(2) Pro forma EBITDA consists of income from operations plus depreciation,
    amortization, preopening costs, impairment losses and costs of Missouri
    investigations and fines incurred by the former owner of the Missouri
    properties. For purposes of pro forma EBITDA above, approximately $1.9
    million of development costs associated with the Company's unsuccessful bid
    for a gaming license in Lemay, Missouri are excluded from the EBITDA
    calculations for the nine months and twelve months ended September 30, 2000.
    Pro forma EBITDA information is presented solely as a supplemental
    disclosure because management believes that it is a widely used measure of
    operating performance in the gaming industry and for companies with a
    significant amount of depreciation and amortization. Pro forma EBITDA should
    not be construed as an alternative to income from operations (as determined
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator
    of the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows
    from operating activities (as determined in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles) as a measure of liquidity. The Company has
    significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures and debt
    principal repayments that are not reflected in pro forma EBITDA. It should
    also be noted that not all gaming companies that report EBITDA information
    calculate EBITDA in the same manner as the Company.

(3) Net of interest income and amortization of debt issuance costs.

(4) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings
    consists of income from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed
    charges, excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consists of interest
    expensed and capitalized, amortization of debt issuance costs and the
    interest component of rent expense.

(5) Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $108.3 million for the
    twelve months ended September 30, 2000, including an impairment loss of
    $125.7 million.
