Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On July 1, 1996, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the
Registrant and John Parker, John Nix and Gamblers Supply Management Company
(GSMC), the Registrant acquired all of the outstanding shares of GSMC, which
owns, leases and operates a casino gaming facility (the Miss Marquette) located
at Marquette, IA. The Miss Marquette gaming facility consists of a 226-foot
river boat, which is leased from the Registrant, gaming machines and equipment
and dockside facilities, which include a 24-room hotel, parking lots, marina,
restaurant, lounge, other support facilities and related furniture, fixtures and
equipment. The river boat has 698 slot machines and 30 table games. It is
anticipated that the Registrant will continue to operate the Miss Marquette
gaming facility in a manner similar to that in which it was operated under its
prior ownership.

     Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, all the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of GSMC were acquired for One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) which
amount was funded from the Registrant's Credit Facility. In addition to the
purchase price, the Registrant has guaranteed a GSMC note payable to John Parker
and John Nix (the Sellers) in the aggregate of Four Million Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($4,400,000), which is payable in 36 equal monthly payments
including interest at 8% beginning August 1, 1996. The Registrant continues to
hold notes receivable relating to prior loans from the Registrant to GSMC to
finance the dockside facility and gaming equipment, and also has lease payments
receivable and accrued interest receivable from GSMC totaling $22,583,833 as of
June 30, 1996.
