                          MISSISSIPPI - I GAMING, L.P.

                          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 June 30, 1996, the results of operations for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for nine months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995 have been included.  The Partnership's operations are seasonal
and thus operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 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 (in thousands):

                          MISSISSIPPI - I GAMING, L.P.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

          The 11.5% note payable is secured by furniture, fixtures and
equipment.  The note matures in October 1997.

          The capital lease obligations are secured by equipment under 
agreements and mature in August 1997, September 1997 and December 1998. 
During June 1996 the Partnership converted two operating leases into capital 
leases.  The two leases are secured by equipment and mature August 1997 and 
September 1997, respectively.

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 $511,000 at June 30, 1996.

          In addition, the Company is a guarantor for a ship mortgage with an
outstanding balance of $3.5 million at June 30, 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 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.

     BOOMTOWN'S PROPOSED MERGER WITH HOLLYWOOD PARK, INC. ("HOLLYWOOD 
PARK") -- On April 23, 1996, Boomtown entered into an Agreement and Plan of 
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Hollywood Park relating to the strategic 
combination of Hollywood Park and Boomtown. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement 
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company would 
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park (the "Merger"). Pursuant 
to the Merger Agreement, at the effective date of the Merger (the "Effective 
Date"), each issued and outstanding share of Boomtown Common Stock will be 
converted into the right to receive 0.625 (the "Exchange Ratio"), of a share 
of Hollywood Park Common Stock. The Merger is intended to be structured as a 
tax-free reorganization.

     Certain additional matters relating to the signing of the Merger 
Agreement and a complete description of the Merger Agreement are more fully 
described in Boomtown's Form 8-K dated April 23, 1996, including the 
Agreement and Plan of Merger file as exhibit 2.1 thereto, and filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 1996.

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 nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
recorded Management Fees in the amount of $159,000 and $495,000, respectively.

          Total revenues for the third quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $13.3 
million, 8.2% higher than in the $12.3 million in the same prior year period. 
Gaming revenues improved 6.8% to $11.8 million and non-gaming revenues 
increased 19.7% to $1.6 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 nine months of fiscal 1996 the Partnership recorded gaming 
revenues of  $33.0 million and non-gaming revenues of $4.0 million, an  
improvement of 8.3% and 18.0%, respectively over the same prior year period.  
The increase in gaming revenues for the quarter and nine months ended June 
30, 1996, resulted primarily from higher casino patronage and related gaming 
play primarily due to the expansion of gaming in the Gulf Coast area. 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 $1.3 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 to 63.6% of gaming revenues.  This compares to 56.3% in the same
prior year quarter.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the gaming margin
improved from 51.5% to 61.3% of gaming revenues to $20.2 million.  The
improvements in the gaming margin are a result of the efficiencies in labor
costs associated with higher revenues, discontinuance of Keno gaming in October
1995 and ceasing

operations of the property's 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 $322,000 and
$901,000 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
This compares to $401,000 and $933,000, respectively for the same prior year
period.  The decrease is attributable to lower margins in the food and beverage
departments as a result of the highly competitive buffet pricing in the market.

          Marketing expenses were $2.0 million and $5.3 million for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 1996, respectively as compared to $1.6 million
and $4.6 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
nine month periods resulted primarily from additional advertising to promote the
Boomtown brand, increased bus program activity and the increase in players club
redemption costs due to increased slot play and a higher redemption percentage.

          General and administrative expenses were $4.7 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $552,000 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 $159,000 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 nine months ended June 30, 1996 general and administrative
expenses were $13.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million over the prior year
nine 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 of $495,000 charged by Boomtown.

          Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter and nine months
ended June 30, 1996 was $426,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.  The
Partnership incurred interest expense of $1.2 million, interest income of
$13,000 and a gain on the sale of assets of $19,000 during the third fiscal
quarter of 1996.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1996 interest expense was
$3.6 million, interest income was $35,000 and the gain on sale of assets
recorded was $59,000. The majority of interest expense incurred is related to
the Boomtown note payable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Partnership's principal source of liquidity at June 30, 1996 was
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.6 million, a decrease of $360,000
from September 30, 1995.  The Partnership generated $177,000 from operating
activities in addition to paying approximately $4.4

million of interest to Boomtown, Inc. in partial satisfaction of outstanding 
interest payable on the long-term notes payable.  During the first nine 
months of the prior fiscal year the Partnership provided $2.0 million of 
operating cash as well as funding $1.6 million of interest accrued on the 
notes payable to Boomtown.

          Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 was $2.7 million, primarily related to $2.8 million used toward the
purchase of property and equipment offset by $212,000 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 $2.5 million was paid to the lessor of
the barge in return for a reduction of the future lease payments.

          At June 30, 1996 the Partnership's debt was primarily comprised of a
$41.2 million note payable to Boomtown, and other payables of $1.9 million 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, 1995.

          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 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

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 (see Boomtown Inc's 
Form 10Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996) 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.
