We have audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of Mardi Gras Casino Corp. (a
Mississippi corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinnacle Entertainment,
Inc.)  (the  "Company")  as of  December  31,  1999 and  1998,  and the  related
statements of  operations,  changes in  stockholder's  equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United  States.  Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial position of Mardi Gras Casino Corp. as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1999 in conformity

MARDI GRAS CASINO CORP.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999

1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         General

         Mardi  Gras  Casino  Corp.  (the  "Company"  or  "Mardi  Gras")  is  a
         Mississippi  Corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Casino Magic
         Corp.,  which as a  result  of a  merger  on  October  15,  1998  (the
         "Merger") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc.
         ("Pinnacle Entertainment"),  (formerly known as Hollywood Park, Inc.).
         The Company  operates  Casino  Magic Bay St.  Louis in Bay St.  Louis,
         Mississippi.

         Gaming revenues and promotional allowances

         In accordance  with common industry  practice,  casino revenues are the
         net of gaming wins less  losses.  Revenues  exclude the retail value of
         complimentary  rooms,  food  and  beverage  furnished  gratuitously  to
         customers. The estimated cost of providing these promotional allowances
         (which are included in gaming expenses) during the years ended December
         31, 1999,  1998 and 1997, was  $8,415,144,  $9,005,589 and  $9,132,420,
         respectively.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash,  certificates of deposit and
         short term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

         Capitalized Interest

         Interest  expense of  $206,497  was  capitalized  during the year ended
         December  31, 1997.  No  capitalized  interest was recorded  during the
         years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

         Property, Plant and Equipment

         Property,  plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using
         the  straight  line method over  estimated  useful  lives of 15 to 31.5
         years for barges and  buildings,  the term of the leases for  leasehold
         improvements,  and 5 to 7 years for  furniture  and  equipment.  Normal
         repairs  and   maintenance   are   charged  to  expense  as   incurred.
         Expenditures which materially extend the useful lives of capital assets
         are capitalized.

         Investments

         The Company has a 50 percent  investment  in Casino Magic Finance Corp.
         and  accounts for its  investment  in this  affiliate  using the equity
         method.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         Due to the short-term maturity of financial  instruments  classified as
         current  assets  and  liabilities,  the  fair  value  approximates  the
         carrying value.

         Income Taxes

         The Company  accounts  for income  taxes under  Statement  of Financial
         Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, whereby
         deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the future tax
         consequences   attributable   to  differences   between  the  financial
                                       8
<PAGE>

         statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
         respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
         using  enacted  tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the
         years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
         or settled.  Under SFAS No. 109,  the effect on deferred tax assets and
         liabilities  of a change  in tax rates is  recognized  in income in the
         period that included the enactment date.

         Long-Lived Assets

         The Company  periodically  reviews the propriety of the carrying amount
         of long-lived  assets and any related  intangible assets as well as the
         related  amortization  period to determine  whether  current  events or
         circumstances   warrant   adjustments  to  the  carrying  value  and/or
         estimates of useful lives. This evaluation  consists of comparing asset
         carrying values to the company's  projection of the  undiscounted  cash
         flows  over the  remaining  lives of the  assets,  in  accordance  with
         Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121 Accounting for the
         Impairment  of  Long-lived  Assets  and  for  Long-lived  Assets  to Be
         Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121"). Based on its review, the Company believes
         that as of December 31, 1999, there were no significant  impairments of
         its long-lived assets or intangible assets.

         Certain significant risks and uncertainties:

         Gaming Regulation Licensing

         The Company conducts gaming operations in the State of Mississippi that
         depends on the continued licensability or qualification of the Company.
         Such  licensing and  qualifications  are reviewed  periodically  by the
         Mississippi Gaming Commission.

         Competition

         The gaming  industry is  extremely  competitive  and the Company  faces
         competition from new developments in the United States, specifically in
         Mississippi and Louisiana.

         Severe Weather

         The  Mississippi  Gulf Coast is subject  to severe  weather,  including
         hurricanes.  Severe weather could cause damage to the Company's  casino
         facility.  The Company  maintains  insurance  against  casualty  losses
         resulting from severe weather and against business  interruption.  Such
         insurance may not adequately compensate the Company for loss of profits
         resulting from severe weather.

         Use of Estimates

         Financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted
         accounting   principles  require  the  use  of  management   estimates,
         including  estimates used to evaluate the  recoverability  of property,
         plant  and  equipment,   to  determine  the  fair  value  of  financial
         instruments,  and to determine litigation related  obligations.  Actual
         results could differ from estimates.

         Reclassifications

         Certain  reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 balances
         to be consistent with the 1999 financial statement presentation.

         The  carrying  amounts  and fair  values of notes  payable  and current
         maturities  of  long-term  debt  as  of  December  31,  1999  and  1998
         approximate the carrying values.

          On October 14, 1993,  the 50% owned  affiliate of the Company,  Casino
          Magic Finance Corp. ("Finance Corp."),  sold $135,000,000 in aggregate
          principal  amount  of  11-1/2%  First  Mortgage  Notes  due 2001  (the
          "Finance  Notes") and  warrants to purchase  810,000  shares of Casino
          Magic Corp.  common stock.  Finance Corp. is a special purpose finance
          subsidiary formed specifically to issue the Finance Notes. The Finance
          Notes were governed by an Indenture (the "Indenture")  entered into on
          the same date between Finance Corp., the Company and IBJ Schroder Bank
          & Trust Company as the Trustee.

          The  Finance  Notes  were  secured by a pledge of the stock of Finance
          Corp.,  Mardi Gras Casino Corp. and Biloxi Casino Corp.,  an affiliate
          of the  Company,  along  with the  accounts  receivable,  inventories,
          property and equipment,  property held for development and deposits of
          the Company and Casino Magic-Biloxi.

         In connection with the Merger, Pinnacle Entertainment elected to redeem
         the Finance Notes for the  redemption  amount of 103.833% in accordance
         with  the  Indenture.  On  October  15,  1998,  Pinnacle  Entertainment
         deposited  the amount  required  to redeem the  Finance  Notes with the
         Trustee and the Trustee discharged the debt and released the collateral
         on  that  date.  Accordingly,  the  Company's  proportionate  share  of
         redemption  costs of  $2,116,213,  net of  related  tax  benefit,  were
         recorded in the period ended  December 31, 1998 and are reflected as an
         extraordinary item on the accompanying  Statement of Operations.  These
         costs primarily include the redemption premium.

         The  Company is  included  in the  consolidated  federal  tax return of
         Pinnacle Entertainment and allocated income tax expense as if it were a

7.       Commitments and Contingencies

         Debt Guarantees

         On August 6, 1997, Pinnacle Entertainment issued $125,000,000 of Series
         A 9.5%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2007 (the " 9.5%  Notes").  In
         February of 1999, Pinnacle  Entertainment  issued $350,000,000 of 9.25%
         Senior Subordinating Notes due 2007 (the "9.25% Notes).

                  Both the 9.25% and 9.5%  Notes are  unsecured  obligations  of
         Pinnacle  Entertainment,  Inc.  guaranteed  by all material  restricted
         subsidiaries of the Company,  as defined in the  indentures,  including
         the Mardi Gras Casino Corp. The indentures governing both the 9.25% and
         9.5% Notes contain certain  covenants  limiting the ability of Pinnacle
         Entertainment  and its  restricted  subsidiaries  to  incur  additional
         indebtedness,  issue  preferred  stock,  pay  dividends or make certain
         distributions,    repurchase    equity    interests   or   subordinated
         indebtedness,  create  certain liens,  enter into certain  transactions
         with  affiliates,  sell assets,  issue or sell equity  interests in its
         subsidiaries, or enter into certain mergers and consolidations.

         Bus Litigation

         On May 9, 1999, a bus owned and operated by Custom Bus  Charters,  Inc.
         was involved in an accident in New Orleans, Louisiana while en route to
         the Company's  Casino in Bay St. Louis,  Mississippi.  To date multiple
         deaths and numerous  injuries are attributed to this accident and Mardi
         Gras,  together  with  several  other  defendants,  has  been  named in
         thirty-eight (38) lawsuits, each seeking unspecified damages due to the
         deaths and  injuries  sustained  in this  accident.  While the  Company
         cannot predict the outcome of the litigation,  the Company  believes it
         is not  liable  for any  damages  arising  from this  accident  and the
         Company and its insurers intend to vigorously defend these actions.

         Mardi  Gras is party to a number of other  pending  legal  proceedings,
         though management does not expect that the outcome of such proceedings,
         either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on
         the Company's financial results.

9.       Pending Sale

         On December 10, 1999, Pinnacle  Entertainment  announced it had entered
         into a definitive  agreement  with Penn National  Gaming,  Inc.  ("Penn
         National") to sell for cash Mardi Gras Casino Corp.'s casino operations
         for $120  million.  Penn  National  will  purchase all of the property,
         plant  and  equipment  and  will  assume   certain   liabilities.   The
         transaction  is  subject  to  certain  closing  conditions,   including
         approval by the Mississippi Gaming Commission, the purchaser completing
         the  necessary  financing,  and  termination  of the  Hart-Scott-Rodino
         waiting period.  Pinnacle Entertainment  estimates the transaction will
         close in the second quarter of 2000.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1999


1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         General

         Mississippi-I Gaming, L.P. ("the Partnership") is a Mississippi limited
         partnership,  which is owned and controlled by Pinnacle  Entertainment,
         Inc.  ("Pinnacle  Entertainment"),  (formerly  known as Hollywood Park,
         Inc.),   through  its  wholly  owned   subsidiaries,   Boomtown,   Inc.
         ("Boomtown")  and  Bayview  Yacht  Club,  Inc.,  which  own 95% and 5%,
         respectively,  of the Mississippi  Partnership.  On September 11, 1998,
         Pinnacle Entertainment,  through its Boomtown subsidiary, purchased for
         $400,000   the  15%  of  the   Partnership   owned  by  Eric   Skrmetta
         ("Skrmetta").  The  Partnership  owns and operates a casino  ("Boomtown
         Biloxi"),  which opened in July 1994. Boomtown Biloxi occupies nineteen
         acres in Biloxi, Mississippi.

         Gaming Revenues and Promotional Allowances

         In accordance  with common industry  practice,  casino revenues are the
         net of gaming wins less  losses.  Revenues  exclude the retail value of
         complimentary  rooms,  food  and  beverage  furnished  gratuitously  to
         customers. The estimated cost of providing these promotional allowances
         (which are included in gaming expenses) during the years ended December
         31, 1999,  1998 and 1997, was  $4,186,000,  $4,454,000 and  $4,094,000,
         respectively.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash,  certificates of deposit and
         short term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

         Property, Plant, and Equipment

         Property,  plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using
         the straight  line method over  estimated  useful  lives,  ranging from
         three to thirty-five years.  Normal repairs and maintenance are charged
         to expense as incurred. Expenditures which materially extend the useful
         lives of capital assets are capitalized.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         Due to the short-term maturity of financial  instruments  classified as
         current  assets  and  liabilities,  the  fair  value  approximates  the
         carrying value.

         Income Taxes

         The  Partnership is not subject to state or federal  income taxes.  The
         Partnership's  income or loss is allocated to the partners and included
         in their respective income tax returns.

         Long-Lived Assets

         The  Partnership  periodically  reviews the  propriety  of the carrying
         amount of long-lived  assets and any related  intangible assets as well
         as the related  amortization period to determine whether current events
         or  circumstances  warrant  adjustments  to the  carrying  value and/or
         estimates of useful lives. This evaluation  consists of comparing asset
         carrying  values to the  Partnership's  projection of the  undiscounted
         cash flows over the remaining  lives of the assets,  in accordance with
         Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121 Accounting for the
         Impairment  of  Long-lived  Assets  and  for  Long-lived  Assets  to Be
         Disposed  Of  ("SFAS  No.  121").  Based  on  its  review,  Partnership
         management  believes  that  as of  December  31,  1999,  there  were no
         significant impairments of its long-lived assets or intangible assets.

         Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties:

         Gaming Regulation Licensing

         The Partnership  conducts gaming operations in the State of Mississippi
         that depends on the continued  licensability  or  qualification  of the
         Partnership.   Such   licensing   and   qualifications   are   reviewed
         periodically by the Mississippi Gaming Commission.

         Competition

         The gaming industry is extremely  competitive and the Partnership faces
         competition from new developments in the United States, specifically in
         Mississippi and Louisiana.

         Severe Weather

         The  Mississippi  Gulf Coast is subject  to severe  weather,  including
         hurricanes.  Severe weather could cause damage to the Company's  casino
         facility.  The Partnership  maintains insurance against casualty losses
         resulting from severe weather and against business  interruption.  Such
         insurance may not  adequately  compensate the  Partnership  for loss of
         profits  resulting  from severe  weather.  On September  25, 1998,  the
         Company suspended  operations due to Hurricane Georges,  and the casino
         remained  closed  until  October  1,  1998.  The  Company  received  an
         insurance  settlement for $895,000  during 1999 for property damage and
         business interruption.

         Use of Estimates

         Financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted
         accounting   principles  require  the  use  of  management   estimates,
         including  estimates used to evaluate the  recoverability  of property,
         plant  and  equipment,   to  determine  the  fair  value  of  financial
         instruments,  and to determine litigation related  obligations.  Actual
         results could differ from estimates.

         Reclassifications

         Certain  reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 balances
         to be consistent with the 1999 financial statement presentation.

2.       Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

              Cash paid for interest  during the years ended  December 31, 1999,
         1998, and 1997 was $222,000, $280,000, and $3,339,000, respectively.

3.       Other Long Term Assets

         Other  long  term  assets as of  December  31,  1999 and 1998  included
         $2,000,000  which is prepayment of the 99th year of the land lease with
         Skrmetta.

         As  of  December  31,  1999  and  1998  the  Partnership  also  had  an
         outstanding  note payable to Boomtown in the amounts of $36,259,000 and
         $44,971,000,  respectively.  These amounts  primarily  related to funds
         invested by Boomtown for the initial construction of the property,  and
         the net of subsequent cash transfers to Boomtown from the  Partnership,
         and from Boomtown to the Partnership.  Interest on the notes payable to
         Boomtown  was  fixed  at  11.5%.  In  September  1998,  Boomtown,  Inc.
         discontinued charging interest to the Partnership.

              On August 4, 1997, Pinnacle Entertainment executed an agreement on
         behalf of the  Partnership  to purchase the barge that Boomtown  Biloxi
         sits  upon  and the  associated  building  shell  for  $5,250,000.  The
         Partnership had been leasing these assets. In connection therewith, the

         Tidelands Lease

         The Mississippi  Partnership leases submerged tidelands at the Boomtown
         Biloxi  site from the State of  Mississippi.  The lease has a  ten-year
         term,  (entered into in 1994) with a five-year  option to renew.  Lease
         rent for each of the first  three years of the lease was  $525,000  and
         $425,000 for the third and fourth years.  During 1999, the  Partnership
         was notified of a rate increase for the sixth through tenth years.  The
         State of  Mississippi  has  increased  the rent to $476,00 based on the
         Consumer Price Index ("CPI").  The Partnership remitted payment and was
         subsequently  notified by the State of  Mississippi  that the State has
         exercised  its option  under the lease  agreement  to increase the rent
         based on  appraised  value.  The  rent  was  then  set by the  State of
         Mississippi at $620,000.  The  Partnership is currently  contesting the
         appraisal,  but  has  accrued  for  the  difference  in  the  financial
         statements presented herein.

         National") to sell for cash the  Partnership's  Boomtown  Biloxi casino
         operations  for $75 million.  Penn  National  will  purchase all of the
         property, plant and equipment and will assume certain liabilities.  The
         transaction  is  subject  to  certain  closing  conditions,   including
         approval by the Mississippi Gaming Commission, the purchaser completing
         the necessary  financing,  and  termination  of the  Hart-Scott  Rodino

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                   (unaudited)

1.      Basis of
        Presentation

               Mardi Gras Casino  Corp.  (the  "Company"  or "Mardi  Gras") is a
               Mississippi  corporation and a wholly owned  subsidiary of Casino
               Magic  Corp.  which,  as a result of a merger on October 15, 1998
               (the  "Merger"),   is  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Pinnacle
               Entertainment,  Inc. ("Pinnacle Entertainment"),  (formerly known
               as Hollywood  Park,  Inc.) The Company  operates Casino Magic Bay
               The statements and related notes herein have St. Louis in Bay St.
               Louis,  Mississippi.  been  prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and
               regulations   of  the   Securities   and   Exchange   Commission.
               Accordingly,   certain   information  and  footnote   disclosures
               normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance
               with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been omitted
               pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The  accompanying  notes
               should  therefore be read in conjunction  with the  Partnership's
               December 31, 1999 annual financial statements.

               In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of
               normal recurring  accruals) have been made which are necessary to
               present  fairly the financial  position of the Company as of June
               30,  2000 and the  results  of its  operations  for the six month
               periods  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  The results of operations
               experienced  for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not
               necessarily  indicative of the results to be experienced  for the
               fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

2.      Pending Sale

               On December 10,  1999,  Pinnacle  Entertainment  entered into two
               definitive  agreements to sell all of the operating assets of the
               Casino Magic hotel,  casino,  golf resort,  recreational  vehicle
               (RV)  park  and  marina  in Bay St.  Louis,  Mississippi  and the
               Boomtown  Biloxi casino in Biloxi,  Mississippi  to Penn National
               Gaming,  Inc. for an aggregate of $195 million.  These agreements
               are contingent  upon each other.  In addition to acquiring all of
               the operating  assets and related  operations of the Casino Magic
               Bay St. Louis and Boomtown Biloxi  properties,  Penn National has
               entered  into a licensing  agreement  to use  Boomtown and Casino
               Magic names and marks at the properties acquired. The transaction
               was subject to certain closing conditions  including the approval
               of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, financing and expiration of
               the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. The acquisitions
               were completed on August 8, 2000. Use of Estimates

               Financial   statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally
               accepted  accounting  principles  require  the use of  management
               estimates,    including    estimates   used   to   evaluate   the
               recoverability of property, plant and equipment, to determine the
               fair value of financial instruments,  and to determine litigation
               related obligations. Actual results could differ from estimates.

1.      Basis of
        Presentation

               Mississippi-I-Gaming,  L.P. (the  "Partnership") is a Mississippi
               limited  partnership,  which is owned and  controlled by Pinnacle
               Entertainment,  Inc. ("Pinnacle Entertainment"),  (formerly known
               as Hollywood Park, Inc.),  through its wholly owned subsidiaries,
               Boomtown,  Inc.  ("Boomtown") and Bayview Yacht Club, Inc., which
               own 95% and 5%, respectively, of the Mississippi Partnership. The
               Partnership owns and operates a casino ("Boomtown Biloxi"), which
               opened in July 1994.  Boomtown Biloxi occupies  nineteen acres in
               Biloxi, Mississippi.

               The  statements  and  related  notes  herein  have been  prepared
               pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
               Exchange   Commission.   Accordingly,   certain  information  and
               footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial  statements
               prepared  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted   accounting
               principles   have  been  omitted   pursuant  to  such  rules  and
               regulations.  The accompanying  notes should therefore be read in
               conjunction  with the  Partnership's  December  31,  1999  annual
               financial statements.

               In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of
               normal recurring  accruals) have been made which are necessary to
               present  fairly the financial  position of the  Partnership as of
               June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations for the six month
               periods  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  The results of operations
               experienced  for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not
               necessarily  indicative of the results to be experienced  for the
               fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

2.      Pending Sale

               On December 10,  1999,  Pinnacle  Entertainment  entered into two
               definitive  agreements to sell all of the operating assets of the
               Casino Magic hotel,  casino,  golf resort,  recreational  vehicle
               (RV)  park  and  marina  in Bay St.  Louis,  Mississippi  and the
               Boomtown  Biloxi casino in Biloxi,  Mississippi  to Penn National
               Gaming,  Inc. for an aggregate of $195 million.  These agreements
               are contingent  upon each other.  In addition to acquiring all of
               the operating  assets and related  operations of the Casino Magic
               Bay St. Louis and Boomtown Biloxi  properties,  Penn National has
               entered  into a licensing  agreement  to use  Boomtown and Casino
               Magic names and marks at the properties acquired. The transaction
               was subject to certain closing conditions  including the approval
               of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, financing and expiration of
               the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period. The acquisitions
               were completed on August 8, 2000.

Use of Estimates

               Financial   statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally
               accepted  accounting  principles  require  the use of  management
               estimates,    including    estimates   used   to   evaluate   the
               recoverability of property, plant and equipment, to determine the
               fair value of financial instruments,  and to determine litigation
               related obligations. Actual results could differ from estimates.

              Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

On August 8, 2000, Penn National Gaming,  Inc. and subsidiaries ("Penn National"
or the "Company") purchased substantially all of the assets (the "Acquisitions")
of the Casino Magic hotel,  casino, golf resort,  recreational  vehicle park and
marina in Bay St. Louis,  Mississippi  ("Casino  Magic") and the Boomtown Biloxi
casino in Biloxi,  Mississippi  ("Boomtown Biloxi") from certain subsidiaries of
Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. The acquisition of Casino Magic and Boomtown Biloxi
were  consummated by BSL, Inc. and BTN, Inc.,  respectively,  each of which is a
wholly owned  subsidiary  of Penn  National.  The Casino Magic  Acquisition  was
accomplished  pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement,  dated as of
December 9, 1999, as amended,  by and among BSL, Inc. and Casino Magic Corp. The
Boomtown Biloxi  acquisition was accomplished  pursuant to the terms of an Asset
Purchase Agreement,  dated as of December 9, 1999, as amended, by and among BTN,
Inc. and Boomtown,  Inc. The terms of each of the Purchase  Agreements  were the
result  of  arm's  length   negotiations   among  the  parties.   The  aggregate
consideration  paid by Penn National for the acquisitions was $196,260,000 cash,
which was funded by Penn National's  concurrent  execution of a new $350 million
credit facility on August 8, 2000.

The proceeds of the credit facility were used to finance the above  acquisition,
to repay its existing  indebtedness and for working capital. The credit facility
provides for a $75 million revolving credit facility maturing on August 8, 2005,
a $75 million  Tranche A term loan maturing on August 8, 2005 and a $200 million
Tranche B term loan maturing on August 8, 2006.

At Penn National's  option, the revolving credit facility and the Tranche A term
loan may bear  interest at (1) the highest of 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal
funds effective rate or the rate that the bank group announces from time to time
as its prime  lending  rate plus an  applicable  margin of up to 2.25% or (2) a
rate tied to a eurodollar  rate plus an  applicable  margin up to 3.25%.  At the
Company's  option,  the Tranche B term loan may bear interest at (1) the highest
of 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds  effective rate or the rate that the
bank  group  announces  from  time to time as its  prime  lending  rate  plus an
applicable margin of up to 3.25% or (2) a rate tied to a eurodollar rate plus an
applicable margin up to 4.00%.

In addition to acquiring all of the operating  assets and related  operations of
the Casino Magic and Boomtown Biloxi properties,  Penn National has entered into
a licensing  agreement  to use the  Boomtown  Biloxi and Casino  Magic names and
marks at the acquired properties.

The accompanying  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
prepared  giving effect to the  acquisition of Casino Magic and Boomtown  Biloxi
and the  refinancing of the Company's  long-term debt as if both events occurred
on January 1, 1999.

The  accompanying  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated  balance  sheet  has been
prepared as if the above mentioned transactions occurred on June 30, 2000.

This  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  financial  information is presented for
illustrative  purposes only and is not  necessarily  indicative of the operating
results or  financial  position  that would have  occurred  if Casino  Magic and
Boomtown Biloxi had been acquired as of January 1, 1999, or if the assumption of
the new credit  facility,  repayment  of Penn  National's  indebtedness,  or the
tender premium paid to the holders of the 10.625% senior  subordinated notes had
been completed in an earlier period, nor is it necessarily  indicative of future
operating results or financial position.

The  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  financial  statements  are based on, and
should  be read in  conjunction  with,  the  historical  consolidated  financial
statements  and the related  notes  thereto of Penn  National,  Casino Magic and
Boomtown  Biloxi for the twelve  months ended  December 31, 1999 and for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

(d)  To eliminate Casino Magic's and Boomtown Biloxi's equity accounts and other
     liabilities which were not assumed.

                           All  operating  assets,  net of certain  liabilities,
                  were  recorded at  historical  cost at the  acquisition  date,
                  which approximates their market value.

                           Certain  reclassifications have been made to both the
                  Boomtown  Biloxi  and  Casino  Magic  historical  consolidated
                  balance  sheets  to  conform  to the  pro  forma  consolidated
                  balance sheet presentation.

(e)  To record the current income tax benefit  associated  with the $8.5 million
     bond  tender  premium  paid to holders of the 10.625%  senior  subordinated
     notes and the write-off of approximately $4.6 million of deferred financing
     costs  associated  with  repayment  of  Penn  National's  indebtedness  and
     cancellation of related credit facilities.
