                   NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       Unaudited Statements.
         
         The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three 
         and six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 are unaudited 
         and reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature to 
         present fairly, and not misleading, the financial position and 
         results of operation and cash flows for the interim periods.  These 
         unaudited statements have been prepared by the Company in 
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant 
         to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
         Commission.  Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain 
         financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
         such financial statements have been condensed or omitted.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
         financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's 
         discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of 
         operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 
         10K-SB/A for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The results of 
         operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not 
         necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending 
         December 31, 1996.

2.       Earnings/(loss) per share were calculated based on 2,544,286 shares 
         of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended
         June 30, 1996 and 1995 respectively.

3.       In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
         SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which 
         encourages companies to recognize compensation expense in the 
         income statement based on the fair value of the underlying common 
         stock at the date the awards are granted.  However, it will permit 
         continued accounting under APB Option 25, "Accounting for Stock 
         Issued to Employees". accompanied by disclosure of the pro forma 
         effects on net income and earnings per share had the new accounting 
         rules been applied.  The statement is effective for calendar year 
         1996.  The Company has not yet determined which method it will 
         follow for measuring compensation cost attributed to stock options 
         or the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial 
         statements.

Item 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

         REVENUES.  Trans World Gaming Corp.'s ("TWG" or the "Company") 
         revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $1,594,000, 
         an increase of 8% over the revenues for the three months ended June 
         30, 1995.  Video poker revenues for the second quarter totaled 
         $955,000 representing a 10% increase over second quarter revenues 
         in the prior fiscal year.  Seven percent of the video poker revenue 
         increase was due to the Toledo Palace video poker parlor located in 
         DeRidder, LA which opened on October 19, 1995.  Video poker 
         revenues from the Company's other video poker parlor, the Gold 
         Nugget located in Lafayette, LA, increased 4% to $896,000 in 1996 
         from the similar period in 1995.  Revenues from fuel, food and 
         beverage and convenience store operations at the Woodlands Truck 
         Plaza located in DeRidder, LA in the second quarter of 1996 
         increased 6% to $677,000 over the revenues for the second quarter 
         1995.

         The Company believes that the revenues at the Gold Nugget will 
         continue to be higher than the average video poker parlor at truck 
         stops in Louisiana.  Revenues at the Toledo Palace have increased 
         steadily from an average daily revenue per device of $50 in the 
         fourth quarter 1995 to an average of $66 during the second quarter 
         1996.  Pending approval by the Louisiana authorities, which 
         approval cannot be assured, the Company has submitted an 
         application in July 1996 for the installation of eighteen (18) 
         additional devices at the Toledo Palace to be added to the video 
         parlor.  Act 7 of the First Extraordinary Session of 1996, 
         effective May 1, 1996, created the Louisiana Gaming Control Board 
         (the "LGCB") with all regulatory authority, control and 
         jurisdiction including investigation, licensing and enforcement 
         pursuant to provisions of, among other things, the Video Draw Poker 
         Devices Control Law.  Further, Act 7 provided that all powers, 
         duties, functions and responsibilities of, among other things, the 
         Video Gaming Division of State Police be transferred to the LGCB.  
         Act 7 also provided that the State Police, the former licensor, may 
         only issue certain limited licenses and renewals which created a 
         significant backlog of applications for additional devices and 
         license renewals.  The Company cannot therefore, predict when, if 
         at all, the application will be approved. The Toledo Palace 
         currently has fifteen devices installed and is licensed for up to 
         fifty.

         COST OF REVENUE.  Cost of Revenue as a percentage of revenues 
         remained virtually unchanged at 48% in the second quarter 1996 from 
         the similar period in 1995.

         ADMINISTRATIVE.  Administrative expenses in the first quarter 1996 
         were $547,000 which is an increase of $278,000 over the second 
         quarter 1995.  This increase is comprised of the following expense 
         items: commissions of approximately $20,000 and expenses of 
         approximately $230,000 in connection with the Company's recently 
         completed financings.

         INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME.  Interest expense increased by 6% in the 
         second quarter 1996 to $158,000 over the second quarter 1995.  The 
         increase is due primarily to a contractual increase in the interest 
         due on the Chrysolith Note from 12% to 15% ($17,000) effective July 
         1995, plus interest incurred in connection with the 1996 bridge 
         financings ($15,000).  This was partially offset by a decrease in 
         interest expense ($23,000) on the declining principal balance of 
         the Prime Properties Note.

         increased to 49% in the six months of 1996 from 46% in the first

         Administrative.  Administrative expenses for the first six months 
         of 1996 were $1,175,000 which is an increase of $641,000 over the 
         first six month of 1995.  This increase is comprised of the 
         following expense items:  severance costs of $38,000 in connection 
         with the resignation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer in 
         March, 1996; financing, legal and accounting costs of approximately 
         $175,000 in connection with an unsuccessful effort to complete a 
         proposed underwritten secondary offering of securities in March 
         1996; consulting fees for exploring potential acquisitions of 
         approximately $50,000; and fees of approximately $43,000 and 
         expenses of approximately of $230,000 in connection with the 
         Company's efforts to refinance the Chrysolith Note, the Monarch 
         Note and the Woodlands Note.

         $28,000 in the first six months of 1996 to $315,000 over the first 
         six months of 1995.

         YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS.   The Company's earnings before interest, 
         taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $0.11 per 
         common share outstanding after absorbing significant financing and 
         severance costs for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared 
         to $0.19 per common share for the corresponding period in 1995.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The level of cash increased by $176,000 for the six months ended 
         June 30, 1996 due primarily to the proceeds of financings recently 
         completed.

         As of June 30, 1996, the Company's outstanding indebtedness 
         included a principal amount of $2,075,000 under the Chrysolith Note 
         and $75,000 under the Monarch Note both due in its entirety on June 
         30, 1996.  Additional indebtedness included a note payable to Prime 
         Properties in the principal amount of $1,610,000 (after applying 
         the quarterly payment of June 22, 1996 of $292,000), with principal 
         and interest at 10% per annum payable quarterly through December 
         21, 1997, which was incurred in connection with the Gold Nugget 
         transaction.  With respect to the Woodlands Plaza transaction, the 
         Company's remaining indebtedness is $435,000 payable on December 
         30, 1996 with interest payable monthly at 10% (the "Note").  Also, 
         the balance due as of June 30, 1996 for the Bridge financings was 
         $220,000 and trade payables amounted to approximately $300,000.

         In March, 1996 the Company retained C.P. Baker & Co., LTD. 
         ("Baker") for a period of one year as placement agent to arrange 
         bridge and convertible debt financings.  From March 25, 1996 
         through June 5, 1996, the Company completed bridge financings (the 
         "Bridge") in the form of unsecured loans in the aggregate principal 
         amount of $375,000,  bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum 
         payable at maturity.  The Company agreed to repay the principal 
         amount in twenty weekly installments starting April 1, 1996 with 
         the balance due at maturity.  The net proceeds of the Bridge, 
         approximately $315,000, were used to pay the scheduled principal 
         and interest payment to Prime Properties of $292,000 on March 21, 
         1996.  In connection with the Bridge, the Company issued to the 
         lenders warrants to purchase 499,875 shares of the Company's common 
         stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share.  As compensation to 
         the placement agent, the Company paid a cash commission of 15% of 
         the aggregate Bridge proceeds or $56,250.  All these warrants carry 
         demand registration rights commencing in July 1996. 

         In June 1996, the Company privately offered to selected accredited 
         investors a minimum of 7 units and a maximum of 12 units, each unit 
         (the "Unit") consisted of one $500,000 principal amount 12% secured 
         convertible senior bonds due June 30, 1999 (the "Bond(s)") and a 
         warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 
         per share of the Company (the "Common Stock") at an exercise price 
         of $1.00 per share (the "Warrant(s)").  The Warrants are 
         exercisable at any time until June 30, 2001.  The Bonds are 
         convertible at the option of the holder thereof at a conversion 
         price of $5.00 per share of TWG common stock.  The Company may at 
         its option, redeem the bonds, in whole but not in part, at 100% of 
         principal amount together with interest accrued thereon through the 
         date fixed for redemption, within six months following a public 
         offering by the Company of common stock that raises not less than 
         $6,000,000 in gross proceeds.  Holders of the Bonds, Warrants and 
         Shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Bonds and 
         exercise of the Warrants are entitled to have their shares 
         registered as part of the next registered public offering of the 
         common stock of the Company as permitted under the rules of the 
         Securities Exchange Commision.  If no public offering of common 
         stock has occurred by December 31, 1997, then upon written request 
         of the holders of Warrants issued in connection with the Bonds and 
         exercisable for not less than 700,000 shares of common stock, the 
         Company will be obligated to file and use its reasonable efforts to 
         cause to be declared effective a registration statement or 
         post-effective amendment as permitted under the Securities Act of 
         1933.  Interest on the Bonds is payable by the Company 
         semi-annually with the first payment due on December 15, 1996. The 
         Company 


                                       9
<PAGE>

         and Baker have agreed to extend the offering through August 31, 
         1996.  As compensation to Baker, the Company paid a cash commission 
         of 10% and a non-accountable expense allowance of 3%  of the gross 
         proceeds raised in this offering.

         Through July 24, 1996 the Company had issued Bonds and received 
         gross proceeds of $4.8 million, of which $4.0 million was closed on 
         July 2, 1996.  The net proceeds to the Company from the private 
         placement of the Bonds, after deducting commissions, 
         non-accountable expenses, and offering expenses of $120,000 were 
         approximately $4.1 million. The proceeds were used to retire the 
         Chrysolith and Monarch  Notes ($2.1 million), to repay the 
         outstanding balance of the Bridge ($220,000), pay the scheduled 
         quarterly payments of June 21, 1996 on the Prime Note ($292,000), 
         to retire the Woodlands Note ($435,000) to pay or trade payables 
         ($300,000) and general corporate purposes ($700,000).

         The Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that 
         existing cash and anticipated cash flow from current operations 
         will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity and capital 
         requirements for the next twelve months.

     Chrysolith, L.L.C. (THE COMPANY), a Louisiana limited liability company,

Kohlenberg, and Lee J. Young (CONSULTANT) agree as follows:

engagement upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     
     2. TERM. The term of this Agreement begins on January 1, 1997.
Consultant's engagement shall continue until December 31, 2001; provided

each month during the Agreement's term.

successfully complete the engagement.

others or for his personal benefit concurrently with his performance under this
Agreement.

assistant as directed by Consultant, reducing Consultant's compensation in the
same amount.


     8. ETHICAL CONDUCT. Consultant represents that no prior contract prohibits
