                  This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf
of Diversified Opportunities Group Ltd., an Ohio limited liability company
("Diversified"), for the purpose of reporting the completion of the second phase
of its transaction (the "Transaction") with Boardwalk Casino, Inc., a Nevada
Corporation ("Boardwalk"), and Norbert W. Jansen, individually and as trustee
under an agreement dated July 14, 1993 ("Jansen"),

                  In the second phase of the Transaction, Jansen sold to
Diversified 317,589 Shares pursuant to the terms of an Option and Proxy
Agreement (the "Option Agreement").

ITEM 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                  Item 2 is amended as follows:

                  The address of Diversified's principal business and office
listed in paragraph one is 425 Lakeside Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44114.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                  Item 3 is amended and supplemented as follows:

                  The acquisition of the 317,589 Shares was financed as follows:

                           Diversified financed 50% of the total purchase price 
of the common stock ($1,111,561.50) with the proceeds of a loan from Richard E.
Jacobs, father of Jacobs and grantor and a potential beneficiary of the Trust,
an entity which is described above. The loan was made as an advance pursuant to
the terms of the Credit Agreement and Revolving Note dated as of July 31, 1996,
attached to Diversified's original Schedule 13D dated October 7, 1996 as
Exhibits A and B, respectively.

                           Diversified financed the remaining 50% of the total 
purchase price of the common stock ($1,111,561.50) with the proceeds of a
capital contribution from the Trust, a member of Diversified.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                  Diversified submitted a ruling letter to the Gaming Board
seeking a ruling that the second phase of the Transaction would not result in a
change in control of Boardwalk pursuant to the regulations of the Gaming Board
and the Commission. On November 25, 1996 Diversified received a favorable ruling
letter from the Gaming Board. In phase two, Diversified purchased an additional
317,589 Shares from Jansen pursuant to the Option Agreement, and Boardwalk's
Board of Directors (the "Board") was expanded to six directors, with Jeffrey P.
Jacobs ("Jacobs") being appointed as the sixth director. Phase two of the
Transaction was consummated on December 2, 1996.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  Items 5(a) and 5(b) are amended and supplemented as follows:

                  (a) As of December 2, 1996, Diversified had beneficial
ownership of 1,071,429 Shares. Therefore, Diversified has acquired 14.9% of the
outstanding common stock of Boardwalk.

                  (b) Diversified has the sole power to vote and dispose of all
1,071,429 Shares. Because Jacobs is the sole Manager of Entertainment, the
Manager of Diversified, Jacobs may be deemed to have sole power to vote or to
direct the voting of the Shares and have shared power with the Trust to dispose
or to direct the disposition of the Shares. Jacobs disclaims beneficial
ownership of such Shares.
