                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS -  Mississippi - I Gaming, 
L.P. (the "Company" or the "Partnership"), a Mississippi limited partnership, 
is a majority owned and controlled partnership of Boomtown, Inc. 
("Boomtown"). Boomtown owns an 80% limited partnership interest and through 
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bayview Yacht Club, Inc. (a Mississippi 
corporation and the general partner of the Partnership), Boomtown owns an 
additional 5% interest in the Partnership.   A 15% limited partnership 
interest is owned by an individual. Under terms of the Partnership Agreement, 
after three years of operation, either Boomtown or the individual may 
exercise an option to convert the individual's ownership interest into 
Boomtown Common Stock or cash, at the option of the individual, at an amount 
calculated based upon a multiple of earnings.  The Partnership agreement 
provides for quarterly distributions to be made to the minority limited 
partner.  The Partnership also leases the casino barge and building from 
National Gaming Corporation for an amount equal to 16% of earnings before 
depreciation, interest and taxes.

     INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION - The balance sheet at September 30, 1995 
has been taken from the audited financial statements at that date.  The 
interim financial information is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the 
Partnership considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial 
position at March 31, 1996, the results of operations for the three and six 
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for six months ended 
March 31, 1996 and 1995 have been included.  The Partnership's operations are 
seasonal and thus operating results for the three and six months ended March 
31, 1996 should not be considered indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996.  The unaudited 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for 
the year ended September 30, 1995.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 
financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.


2.  LONG-TERM DEBT

     Long-term debt consists of the following:

                               September 30, 1995           March 31, 1996

                                 (unaudited)

     The 11.5% note payable is secured by furniture, fixtures and equipment 
with a net book value of approximately $614,000 at March 31, 1996.  The note 
matures in October 1997.

     The capital lease obligation is secured by equipment with a net book 
value of approximately $124,000 at March 31, 1996 and matures in December 
1998.


3.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On November 24, 1993, Boomtown completed the private placement of $103.5 
million of 11.5% First Mortgage Notes due November 2003 (the "Notes").  The 
Notes are secured by, among other things, a full and unconditional guarantee 
by the Partnership, as defined in the Indenture to the Notes.

          The Indenture governing the Notes places certain business, 
financial and operating restrictions on Boomtown and its subsidiaries 
including, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, 
issuance of preferred equity interests and entering into operational leases;  
limitations on dividends, repurchase of capital stock of Boomtown and 
redemption's of subordinated debt; limitations on transactions with 
affiliates; limitations on mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; 
limitations on amending existing partnership and facility construction 
agreements; and limitations on the use of proceeds from the issuance of the 
Notes.

     The Partnership is a guarantor for a $1.1 million promissory note for 
Blue Diamond Hotel & Casino, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Boomtown, 
Inc., with an outstanding balance of $645,000 at March 31, 1996.

     In addition, the Company is a guarantor for a ship mortgage with an 
outstanding balance of $3.8 million at March 31, 1996, of Louisiana - I 
Gaming, L.P., a majority owned and controlled partnership of Boomtown.

     In October 1994, the Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted a regulation 
which requires, as a condition of license or license renewal, for a gaming 
establishment's plan to include various expenditures including parking 
facilities and infrastructure facilities amounting to at least 25% of the 
casino cost.  Although the Company believes they have satisfied this 
requirement at the Mississippi property, there can be no assurance the 
Mississippi Gaming Commission will not require further development on the 
casino site including hotel rooms and additional parking facilities.  
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be 
successful in completing such a project or that the Partnership would be able 
to obtain a waiver if the Partnership decides not to build.


4.  OTHER EVENTS

     AMENDMENT OF BARGE LEASE - Upon commencement of operations, the Company 
entered into an agreement with Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc. ("HFS") 
whereby HFS advanced the Company $11 million in return for ownership of the 
Biloxi barge and shell building.  The 







                                       7

                                  (unaudited)

Partnership leases the assets from HFS under a 25 year lease with a 25 year 
renewal option.  Under this agreement, HFS was to receive as rent 20% of the 
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization 
("EBTIDA") as defined in the related contract.  HFS was also to provide 
marketing services to Boomtown Biloxi.  The assets under this agreement, as 
well as the related contractual arrangements, were subsequently transferred 
to National Gaming Corporation, Inc. ("NGC").

     In November, 1995, the Company executed an agreement with NGC whereby 
$2.4 million was returned to NGC in return for a reduction of the EBITDA 
distributions from 20% to 16%.  Additionally for $100,000, the Company 
secured an option to buy the barge from NGC as well as to buy out the EBITDA 
participation at a cost approximating the original investment made by HFS 
less the $2.4 million that was paid.  The option terminates on March 31, 
1997, but is renewable for an additional two years for $100,000 a year.  The 
$2.4 million is being amortized to lease expense over the remaining lease 
term.


5.  MANAGEMENT FEE

     Boomtown is responsible for managing the operations of the Partnership 
and all of its other subsidiaries (collectively the "Subsidiaries").  During 
the current fiscal year, Boomtown charged its Subsidiaries for their pro-rata 
share of the costs it incurred relative to this management function (the 
"Management Fee").  During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996, 
the Partnership recorded Management Fees in the amount of $150,000 and 
$336,000, respectively.

</TABLE>



     Total revenues for the second quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $12.4 
million, 9.1% higher than in the $11.3 million in the same prior year period. 
Gaming revenues improved 7.5% to $11.1 million and non-gaming revenues 
increased 24.7% to $1.3 million for the quarter.  The Partnership generates 
approximately 90% of its total revenues from gaming operations consisting 
primarily of slot and video poker machines and various types of table games.  
During the first half of fiscal 1996 the Partnership recorded gaming revenues 
of $21.2 million and non-gaming revenues of $2.4 million, an improvement of 
9% and 17%, respectively over the same prior year period.  The Partnership 
believes the increase in gaming revenues for the quarter and six months ended 
March 31, 1996, resulted primarily from higher casino patronage and related 
gaming play primarily due to the expansion of gaming in the Gulf Coast area.  
The Partnership has successfully maintained its market share on the Gulf 
Coast with the addition of new casinos and the expansion of existing gaming 
properties. Additionally, the revenue growth is partially attributable to 
improvements in the quality of its food and beverage and enhanced marketing 
efforts promoting the Boomtown brand.

     The gaming margin increased $1.6 million for the second quarter of 
fiscal 1996 to 62% of gaming revenues.  This compares to 51% in the same 
prior year quarter.  For the six months ended March 31, 1996, the gaming 
margin improved from 49% to 60% of gaming revenues to $12.7 million.  The 
improvements in the gaming margin are a result of the efficiencies in labor 
costs

         OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

associated with higher revenues, discontinuance of Keno gaming in October 
1995 and ceasing  operations of its flight program in November 1995.  The 
gaming margin was negatively affected in both fiscal periods from gaming 
equipment leased under three year operating terms.  As a result of these 
leases, the related gaming equipment is expensed over a three year period as 
compared to useful lives of approximately five years.  The non-gaming margin 
was $267,000 and $579,000 for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 
1996, respectively. This compares to $201,000 and $532,000, respectively for 
the same prior year period.

     Marketing expenses were $1.8 million and $3.3 million for the three and 
six months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $1.5 million and $3.0 million 
during the same prior year periods.  Marketing expenses consist of costs 
associated with printed advertising, outdoor signs, media advertising, the 
Company's players club and bus programs, promotional events and other 
administrative expenses.  The increase in marketing expenses for the quarter 
and six month periods resulted primarily from additional advertising to 
promote the Boomtown brand, higher bus program fees and the increase in 
players club redemption costs.

     General and administrative expenses were $4.4 million for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1996, an increase of approximately $600,000 from the prior 
year commensurate quarter.  The increase is due primarily to higher lease 
expenses on the barge and land where the casino operates, increased building 
maintenance costs and additional medical costs as employees became eligible 
for benefits. Additionally, during the current year quarter, the Partnership 
was charged management fees of $150,000 by Boomtown for which no amounts were 
charged in the prior year period.  Boomtown is responsible for managing the 
operations of the Partnership and charges its subsidiaries a pro-rata share 
of costs incurred relative to this management function.

     For the six months ended March 31, 1996 general and administrative 
expenses were $8.9 million, an increase of $1.8 million over the prior year 
six month period.  This increase is due to higher employee related medical 
and insurance costs, as employees became eligible for Company sponsored 
medical benefits, higher property taxes, additional lease expenses on the 
barge and land and management fees charged by Boomtown.

     During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996 the Partnership 
generated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization 
("EBITDA") of $905,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.  This compares to 
EBITDA of $117,000 and EBITDA loss of $62,000 in the prior year periods.  
EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 7.3% and 4.6% for the current quarter 
and six month period, respectively, as compared to 1% and (.3%) for the prior 
year periods, respectively.

     Depreciation expense for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996 
was $400,000 and $743,000, respectively and amortization expense was $11,000 
and $22,000, respectively.  The Partnership incurred interest expense of $1.2 
million, interest income of $12,000 and a gain on the sale of assets of 
$39,000 during the second fiscal quarter of 1996.  For the first six months 
of fiscal 1996 interest expense was $2.4 million, interest income was $21,000 
and the gain on sale of assets recorded was $39,000.  The majority of 
interest expense incurred is related to the Boomtown note payable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Partnership's principal source of liquidity at March 31, 1996 was 
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.2 million, an increase of 
$300,000 from September 30, 1995.  The Partnership generated $162,000 from 
operating activities in addition to paying approximately $3.0 million of 
interest to Boomtown, Inc. in partial satisfaction of outstanding interest 
payable on the long-term notes payable.  During the first six months of prior 
fiscal year the Partnership provided $1.2 million of operating cash as well 
as funding $1.1 million of interest accrued on the notes payable to Boomtown. 
 
     
     Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 
1996 was $464,000, primarily related to $458,000 used toward the purchase of 
property and equipment offset by $77,000 received from the sale of certain 
assets.  Additionally, other uses of cash during the period included the 
partial prepayment of a lease on the gaming barge.  In November 1995, the 
Partnership executed an agreement whereby $2.4 million was paid to the lessor 
of the barge in return for a reduction of the future lease payments.

     At March 31, 1996 the Partnership's debt was primarily comprised of a 
$40.9 million note payable to Boomtown, and other payables of $582,000 on 
furniture, fixtures and other equipment at rates ranging from 9.5% to 11.5%.  
The executed note agreement with Boomtown states that principal and interest 
are to be paid from all available funds as soon as such payment becomes 
practicable, and in no event later than November, 1998.  Management of 
Boomtown has not required payments except to the extent of available cash.  
Interest is calculated on the notes payable to Boomtown at 11.5% and is based 
on the average monthly outstanding balance.  Payments are applied first to 
accrued interest and then to principal.

     The Partnership's current long term plan is to expand by adding a 
minimum of 200 and up to 500 hotel rooms adjacent to the casino as well as 
additional parking facilities.  The project is conditional upon the 
Partnership's ability to obtain adequate financing.  The Partnership has not 
obtained such financing to date and there is no assurance the Partnership 
will be successful in obtaining such financing on acceptable terms and 
therefore can provide no assurance the project will ever commence or be 
completed.

     In November 1993, Boomtown closed the issuance and sale of an aggregate 
of $103.5 million principal amount of 11.5% First Mortgage Notes due November 
1, 2003 (the "Notes").   Payment of the principal, interest and any other 
amounts owing under the Notes have been unconditionally guaranteed by certain 
subsidiaries of Boomtown, including the Partnership.  See the Indenture, 
which is hereby incorporated by reference attached as Exhibit 10.36 to 
Boomtown, Inc.'s Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended September 
30, 1994.

     The Partnership believes that its current available cash and cash 
equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to 
fund the Partnership's working capital and normal recurring capital 
expenditures through the end of fiscal 1996.  The Partnership does not 
believe such sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund any of its 
proposed expansion projects. The Partnership believes that expansion of its 
existing facilities is important for continued growth.  If the projects were 
to proceed, the Partnership anticipates that such financing, subject to 



                                      11

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

certain restrictions set forth in the First Mortgage Notes, would come from 
one or more of a number of sources, including cash flow from operations, bank 
financing, vendor financing or debt, joint ventures, equity financing, other 
long-term debt or additional advances from Boomtown.  However, there can be 
no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the 
Partnership or that any proposed expansion projects by the Partnership will 
ever be completed.  Further, given the rapidly changing national competitive 
and legal environments related to gaming, the Partnership's future operating 
results are highly conditional and could fluctuate significantly.  Should 
cash flow from the Partnership's operations be below expectations, the 
Partnership may have difficulty in satisfying capital requirements.

     The statements set forth above regarding the Partnership's estimates of 
its liquidity and capital expenditure requirements and the sufficiency of its 
resources are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A 
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbors created 
thereby.  Future operating results of the Partnership may be adversely 
affected or otherwise fluctuate significantly as a result of a number of 
factors, including without limitation, seasonality, weather conditions, the 
general level of demand for casino gaming and entertainment facilities, 
competition in the gaming industry, and uncertainties in general economic, 
regulatory and political conditions affecting the gaming industry, 
difficulties in integrating the businesses of Boomtown and Hollywood Park 
following the proposed merger and lack of financing following the proposed 
merger with Hollywood Park.  For example, competition in Mississippi has 
intensified due to the rapid growth of dockside gaming on the Mississippi 
Gulf Coast, as well as continued competition from Louisiana casinos.  The 
Biloxi and Gulf Coast markets are therefore experiencing significant dilution 
and any additional casinos could dilute per unit win even further.  Any of 
the above factors, among others, could cause the Partnership's operating 
results to be weaker than expected, and could cause the Partnership's cash 
requirements to differ materially from the Partnership's current estimates.
