                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     Boardwalk Casino, Inc. ("BCI") was formed in July 1993 for the purpose of
operating a casino and a hotel (the "Boardwalk Hotel and Casino") in Las Vegas,
Nevada.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's
most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.   In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim period presented have been made. 
Operating results for the period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1998.

PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES

     The retail value of hotel accommodations, food and beverage provided to
customers without charge is included in gross revenues and then deducted as
promotional allowances to arrive at net revenues. The estimated costs of
providing such promotional allowances have been classified as gaming expenses
through interdepartmental allocation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain amounts in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1997
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the quarter and six
months ended March 31, 1998.

2.   ACQUISITION AGREEMENT, GOING CONCERN AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING:

     On December 22, 1997, the Company entered into a merger and acquisition
agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Mirage Resorts, Incorporated
("Mirage") where the Company agreed to be acquired by Mirage Resorts.  In
connection with the Acquisition Agreement, Mirage has entered into separate
purchase agreements (the "Stock Agreements") with certain selling shareholders
of the Company to purchase their respective shares of common and preferred
stock..  The preferred stock was issued by the Company in October 1997.  The
Stock Agreements, which are subject to regulatory approval, provide Mirage with
an approximate 53% interest in the Company.  The Acquisition Agreement also
authorizes Mirage to purchase all of the remaining outstanding shares (the
remaining 47% interest) of the Company's common stock for $5.00 per share (the
closing

2.   ACQUISITION AGREEMENT, GOING CONCERN AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING,
CONTINUED:

price of the Company's common stock on the day prior to the execution of the
Acquisition Agreement was $4.16).  Completion of the Acquisition Agreement is
subject to regulatory approval and approval of a majority of the Company's
shareholders and is to be completed by no later than June 30, 1998 or the
Acquisition Agreement is subject to termination and the Company will become
liable to Mirage for $1,000,000.  Under the terms of the Stock Agreements, the
selling shareholders have agreed with Mirage to vote in favor of the Acquisition
Agreement, should such vote take place prior to the closing of Stock Agreements.

     Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, all issued and outstanding
warrants and stock options (other than options issued under the Company's 1994
Stock Compensation Plan or Outside Director's Plan) will terminate or constitute
only the right to receive the excess, if any, of the per share Merger
consideration ($5.00) over the per share exercise price of such warrant or
option.  

     As part of the Stock Agreements, Mirage (i) purchased from one of the
selling shareholders the $5,000,000 note payable by the Company and due on
September 30, 1998 and (ii) will acquire a land parcel from one of the selling
stockholders which is adjacent to the Company's hotel-casino and currently under
lease to the Company.  One of the selling shareholders has agreed to terminate
rights granted under the Memorandum of Understanding executed in October 1997,
for consideration of approximately $3.7 million from Mirage. 

     During fiscal 1997, and prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement
and the Stock Agreements, Mirage acquired the $40 million BCI Notes from the
previous noteholder in a private placement transaction.  In connection with the
Acquisition Agreement, Mirage has agreed to defer the March 31, 1998 interest
payment on the BCI Notes until September 30, 1998, at the Company's option (the
"Deferral Option").  Interest will accrue on the deferred interest at the same
rate as the BCI Notes (16.5%) and will also be due and payable on September 30,
1998.  Mirage also waived its redemption rights under the BCI Notes which become
effective upon a change in control. 

     Notwithstanding the Deferral Option, management of the Company believes 
that the combination of existing cash and cash flows from operations will not 
be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations as they become due during 
fiscal 1998.   These obligations include scheduled interest payments on the 
BCI Notes (approximately $6.6 million for the year) and the scheduled 
interest and principal repayment on the $5,000,000 note payable due September 
30, 1998.  Management expects that the need for cash will be significantly 
relieved upon completion of the Acquisition Agreement and merger with Mirage. 
However, as more fully described above, the Acquisition Agreement is subject 
to certain conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals.  
Should the Acquisition Agreement not be approved, or should the closing be 
delayed, the Company would not have sufficient resources to pay interest and 
scheduled principal of the indebtedness acquired by Mirage, without 
modification of the terms of such indebtedness.  



                              BOARDWALK  CASINO, INC.
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

2.   ACQUISITION AGREEMENT, GOING CONCERN AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING,
CONTINUED:

     There is no assurance that the Acquisition Agreement will be approved, that
such approval would be received on a timely basis, nor that modifications to the
terms of the indebtedness would be obtained, if necessary.  Accordingly, these
matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern.  The final outcome of these matters is not presently
determinable.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

     On October 27, 1997, the Company entered a Memorandum of Understanding (the
"Memorandum").  A major shareholder had previously lent the Company $5,000,000
under a note payable due September 23, 1998.  Under the terms of the Memorandum,
the shareholder purchased preferred stock of the Company and acquired a right to
purchase additional shares of preferred stock.    The shareholder also acquired
the First Refusal Right.  The Memorandum called for the Company to issue 3,250
shares of $.001 par value, 6% non-voting, cumulative preferred stock, series A
("Preferred Stock") at a price of $1,000 per share to certain related parties. 
The offering generated proceeds of $3,250,000 from the preferred stock issuance
and were used to make the Company's September 30, 1997 interest payment in
relation to the BCI Notes and retire a $600,000 uncollateralized note payable.

     The Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference over the Company's common
stock in the event of liquidation and the Company shall be permitted to redeem
the Preferred Stock upon the written request of any holder thereof on or after
April 1, 2005 at a price of $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends.

     The Memorandum includes an option issued to one of the above related
parties to purchase up to an additional 15,000 shares of Preferred Stock at a
purchase price of $1,000 per share.  The option expires on September 29, 1999. 
The Memorandum also restricts the Company from modifying, extending or changing
the strike price of the terms of any of the warrants to purchase common stock
outstanding as of the date of the Memorandum.

     The shareholder also agreed to undertake a feasibility study of a $20
million development on the land (the "Project"), with a termination fee of $2
million payable by the Company to the shareholder upon the occurrence of certain
events which interfere with or negatively impact the Project.

     The Company has accrued $620,000 of rental payments in relation to the
office lease which is reflected as a current obligation as of March 31, 1998. 
Effective November 1, 1997, the Memorandum allows the Company the option to
defer payment up to $40,000 per month of the rent due under the office space
lease until the earlier of November 1, 1998 or the date of a sale of the
building and land to the related party which the purchase option has been
assigned to as described above.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

3.   EARNING PER COMMON SHARE:

     Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during each period.  Warrants and options to purchase
common stock  which were issued in 1994 through 1996 were excluded from the
calculation of earnings (loss) per share, as their inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive (by reducing the loss per share).

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     The Company has pending certain legal actions and claims incurred in the
normal course of business and is actively pursuing the defense thereof.  In the
opinion of management, these actions and claims are either without merit or are
covered by insurance and will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

     During fiscal 1997, and prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement
and the Stock Agreements, Mirage acquired the BCI Notes from the previous
noteholder in a private placement transaction.  In connection with the
Acquisition Agreement, Mirage has agreed to defer the March 31, 1998 interest
payment on the BCI Notes until September 30, 1998, at the Company's option (the
"Deferral Option").  Interest will accrue on the deferred interest at the same
rate as the BCI Notes (16.5%) and will also be due and payable on September 30,
1998.  Mirage also waived its redemption rights under the BCI Notes which
becomes effective upon a change in control.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

     Income from operations has increased $217,392 or 16.6% to $1,530,648 for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to an operating income of 
$1,313,256 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Contributions to net 
operating income from the casino and food and beverage operations increased 
by $549,400 and $77,835 respectively for the second quarter of 1998 compared 
to the second quarter of 1997.  These increases were offset in part by the 
decrease in the rooms revenue and additional depreciation expense from the 
completed second floor facilities.    

     The $217,392 increase in operating income was primarily due to a greater
increase in revenues than the associated increase in costs and expenses.  The
second quarter net revenues were $11,233,774 compared to $10,107,546 for the
same period in fiscal 1997, an increase of 11.1% ($1,126,228). Total costs and
expenses increased 10.3% ($908,836) to $9,703,126 for the second quarter in
fiscal 1998, from $8,794,290 during the same period in fiscal 1997.



CASINO OPERATIONS

     Gaming revenues increased 23.8% ($1,308,418) to $6,815,713 for the second
quarter of fiscal 1998, from $5,507,295 when compared to the same period in
fiscal 1997.  The increase was primarily due to: (i) race and sports revenue
increased $1,287,723, (ii) increased table game play generated an additional
$31,885 (3.5%) to $942,503 in revenue for the current quarter compared to
$910,618 for the second quarter last year. (iii) The increases were offset by a
decrease in slot revenue of $11,190.  

     Casino expenses increased $929,320 (28.3%) to $4,214,327 for second quarter
in fiscal 1998 from $3,285,007 for the same period of 1997.   The increase in
casino expenses were primarily due to: (i) additional race wire fees of
$738,115, (ii) increase in participation fees of  $79,532, (iii) increase in
subscription services and equipment rentals of $75,375.

ROOM OPERATIONS

     Gross room revenues decreased $241,845 or 8.1%, to $2,750,752 for the
second quarter 1998 from $2,992,597 for the comparable quarter in fiscal 1997. 
     
      Room nights available were unchanged for the current quarter, compared to
the second quarter of 1997.  Room nights occupied decreased 807 (1.7%) to 47,300
room nights occupied for the second quarter of fiscal year 1998 from 48,107 for
the same period of 1997.  The occupancy percentage decreased to 80.5% for the
second quarter of 1998 compared to 81.9% for the same period of fiscal 1997. 
The average room rate decreased by  $4.09 to $58.12 for the current period.   

     Promotional allowance for rooms increased $6,303 (5.9%) to $111,597 for the
current period compared to $105,294 for the same period of 1997. 

     Hotel expenses remained relatively flat for first quarter 1998 compared
with the same period of 1997.



FOOD AND BEVERAGE OPERATIONS     

     Gross food and beverage revenues decreased $46,113 or 2.6%, to $1,707,552
for the second quarter 1998 from $1,753,665 for the comparable quarter in fiscal
1997.  The decrease in gross food and beverage revenues was attributable to the
following: (i) a 5.5%  decrease in room guests during the second quarter of 1998
compared to the second quarter of  1997 and (ii) increases of coffee shop prices
and the elimination of discounted specials.

     Promotional allowance for food and beverage decreased $68,234 (13.7%) to
$431,008 for the current period compared to $499,242 for the same period of
1997.  Net food and beverage revenues increased $22,121 or 1.8% to $1,276,544
for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from $1,254,423 for the same period of
1997.

     Food and beverage expenses decreased $141,246, or 8.4%, to $1,534,584 for
second quarter 1998 from $1,675,830 for the same period of fiscal 1997. 
     
      Food and beverage expenses as a percentage of gross food and beverage
revenues decreased to 89.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 95.6% for
the same period of 1997.  This decrease is a direct result of increased food
prices for the coffee shop, the reduction of deep discounted specials, and
cost containment programs. 

OTHER REVENUES AND EXPENSES

     Other revenues increased $43,837, or 9.6%, to $502,362 for the second
quarter 1998 from $458,525 for the same period of fiscal 1997.  The increase of
other revenues consists principally of the additional rental income.

     Other expenses remained relatively flat for the second quarter 1998
compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $15,886, or 0.9%, to
$1,739,862 for second quarter 1998 from $1,723,976  compared to the same period
of fiscal 1997. 

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation and amortization totaled $928,496 in the second quarter in
fiscal 1998, reflecting a $103,758 (12.6%) increase over the second quarter in
fiscal 1997 amount of $824,738 due to the depreciable costs associated with the
casino 2nd floor. 



OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES

     Interest income decreased $30,925 to $5,240 in the second quarter of fiscal
1998 compared to $36,165 for the second quarter of 1997. Interest income relates
to the Company's investments in marketable securities, principally U.S. treasury
securities and short-term corporate commercial paper. 

     Net interest expense increased to $1,922,909 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 from $1,813,363 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. None of the
interest was capitalized in the second quarter of fiscal year 1998, compared to
$210,000 for the same period of 1997.  The 2nd floor buffet and meeting rooms
gave rise to the capitalized interest for the second quarter of fiscal 1997.
     
INCOME TAX PROVISION

     No income tax benefit was recorded.  Because the Company is a new taxpayer,
it cannot carryback such loss to offset taxable income in prior years and
therefore has a net operating loss carryforward.

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

     The Company's income from operations decreased 2.1% ($58,557) to an
operating income of $2,760,945 for the first half of fiscal 1998, from an
operating income of $2,819,502 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1997. 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $283,704 for the first half of
fiscal 1998 compared to the same period in fiscal 1997.  The casino second floor
buffet and convention facilities opened in late March and June, respectively. 
Net revenues increased 11.7% ($2,345,356) to $22,397,754 for the second half of
fiscal 1998, from $20,052,398 during the same period in fiscal 1997.   Costs and
expenses increased by 13.9% ($2,403,913) to $19,636,809 for the first half of
fiscal 1998 from $17,232,896 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1997.

CASINO OPERATIONS

     Casino operations increased its net contribution by $549,400 for the first
half of fiscal 1998 for the same period in fiscal 1997.  Gaming revenues
increased $2,484,560 compared to the increase of casino expenses of $1,935,160.

     Gaming revenues increased 23.2% ($2,484,560) to $13,211,481 for the first
half of fiscal 1998, from $10,726,921 when compared to the same period in fiscal
1997. The increase in revenue was mostly due to: (i) increased race and sports
book revenue of $2,228,227 and (ii) increased slot machine revenue of $271,788. 
Table games revenue decreased by $15,455.

     Casino expenses increased 30.1% ($1,935,160) to $8,365,500 for first half
1998 from $6,430,340 for the same period of 1997. The increase in casino
expenses were due to: (i) increase in race wire and system operator fees of
$1,265,599,  (ii) slot and table game participation expenses increased $221,499,
(iii) increase in special events and programs of $111,408, (iv)  increase in
subscription services and equipment rental of $107,106 and (v) the remaining
increase from maintenance, supplies and various other expenses.



ROOM OPERATIONS

     Room revenues decreased $374,634 or 6.0%, to $5,896,192 for the first half
of 1998 from $6,270,826 for the comparable period in fiscal 1997.

     The occupancy percentage increased by 1% to 80% for the first six months of
1998, over the first half of fiscal 1997.  The average room rate decreased by 
$4.08 to $62.76 for the current period as a result of competitive pressure from
other strip hotels.   

     Promotional allowance for rooms  increased $32,019 (17.6%) to $213,860 for
the current period compared to $181,841 for the same period of 1997.   The
increase in promotional or complimentary rooms to qualified individuals was due
to the increase in available rooms from the completed hotel tower.  Net room
revenues decreased $406,653 or 6.7% to $5,682,332 for the first six months of
fiscal 1998 from $6,088,985 for the same period of 1997.

     Room expenses increased $46,203 or 1.9%, to $2,481,992 for first half of
1998 from $2,435,789 for the same period of 1997. The increase in hotel expenses
was due to (i) an increase in the hotel sales department staff ($24,089) and the
front desk staff ($14,509), and (ii) increased franchise fees of $13,273. The
gross increases were offset by the increase in promotional allowances that were
reclassified to other departments.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE OPERATIONS     

     Food and beverage revenues increased $126,397 or 3.9%, to $3,364,718 for
the first six months of 1998 from $3,238,321 for the comparable period in fiscal
1997. This increase corresponds to the expanded banquet facilities as well as a
higher guest check per cover achieved in the coffee shop.  

     Food and beverage expenses were contained for first six months of fiscal 
1998 compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. Food and beverage expenses 
as a percentage of gross food and beverage revenue decreased to 95.0% for the 
six months ended March 31, 1998 from 98.7% for the same period of 1997.  This 
decrease is a direct result of increased food prices for the coffee shop, 
the reduction of deep discounted specials, and cost containment programs.

OTHER REVENUES

     Other revenues remained constant for first six months of fiscal 1998
compared with the same period of fiscal 1997. Other revenues consist principally
of fees for telephone calls from guest rooms and incidental vending revenues.



SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
 
      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $143,404, or 4.2%,
to $3,536,060 for first half of fiscal 1998 from $3,392,656 for the same period
of fiscal 1997.  The increase was due primarily to the increase of legal and
professional fees of $120,132.  The remaining increases are due to increased
facility repairs and supplies.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation and amortization totaled $1,931,646 in the first six months of
fiscal 1998, reflecting a $283,704 (17.2%) increase over the first six months of
fiscal 1997 amount of $1,647,942.   The increase is due to the depreciation
costs associated with the casino 2nd floor. 

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES

     Interest income decreased 92.8%, ($71,700) to $5,566 in the first six
months of fiscal 1998 from $77,266.
     
     Net interest expense increased to $3,927,212 in the first six months of
fiscal 1998 from $3,585,234 in the first six months of fiscal 1997. None of the
interest was capitalized in the first half of fiscal year 1998 compared to
$402,286 capitalized in the first half of fiscal year 1997 for the hotel tower
and 2nd floor construction.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

     No income tax benefit was recorded.  Because the Company is a new taxpayer,
it cannot carryback such loss to offset taxable income in prior years and
therefore has a net operating loss carryforward.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,276,053 (5.3% of total
assets) at March 31, 1998 compared to $2,236,018 (3.5% of total assets) at
September 30, 1997.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .096
to 1 at March 31, 1998 and .082 to 1 at September 30, 1997.

     Although operating activities provided cash flow in 1998 of $19,091, the
Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $46.1 million at March
31, 1998.  The deficit is primarily due to obligations due under short-term
financing arrangements.

     Investing activities for fiscal 1998 used approximately $200,000 resulting
from improvements to the original buildings and $225,000 to increase the race
book reserve.

     Financing activities provided approximately $3,229,975 from the issuance of
preferred and common stock and $220,000 from increased related party payable. 
Such proceeds were primarily offset by $1,403,266 of principal payments on 
long-term debt notes and capital leases during fiscal 1998.

     On December 22, 1997, the Company entered into a merger and acquisition
agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Mirage Resorts, Incorporated
("Mirage") where the Company agreed to be acquired by and merge into Mirage. In
connection with the Acquisition Agreement, Mirage has entered into separate
purchase agreements (the "Stockholder Agreements") with certain selling
shareholders of the Company to purchase their respective shares of common and
preferred stock.  The Stockholder Agreements, which are subject to regulatory
approval, provide Mirage with an approximate 53% interest in the Company.  The
Acquisition Agreement also authorizes Mirage to purchase all of the remaining
outstanding shares (the remaining 47% interest) of the Company's common stock
for $5.00 per share (the closing price of the Company's common stock on the day
prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement was $4.16). Completion of
the Acquisition Agreement is subject to regulatory approval and approval of a
majority of the Company's shareholders and is to be completed by no later than
June 30, 1998 or the Acquisition Agreement is subject to termination and the
Company will become liable to Mirage for $1,000,000. Under the terms of the
Stockholder Agreements, the selling shareholders have agreed with Mirage to vote
in favor of the Acquisition Agreement, should such vote take place prior to the
closing of Stock Agreements.

     As part of the Stockholders Agreements, Mirage (i) on January 5, 1998
purchased from one of the selling shareholders the $5,000,000 note payable by
the Company which is due on September 30, 1998 (as more fully described in Note
6), and (ii) will acquire a land parcel from one of the selling stockholders
which is adjacent to the Company's hotel-casino and currently under lease to the
Company.  One of the selling shareholders has agreed to terminate rights granted
under the Memorandum of Understanding executed in October 1997, for
consideration of approximately $3,700,000 from the Mirage.

     During fiscal 1997, and prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement
and the Stock Agreements, Mirage acquired the BCI Notes from the previous
noteholder in a private placement



transaction.  In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, Mirage has agreed 
to defer the March 31, 1998 interest payment on the BCI Notes until September 
30, 1998, at the Company's option (the "Deferral Option").  Interest will 
accrue on the deferred interest at the same rate as the BCI Notes (16.5%) and 
will also be due and payable on September 30, 1998.  Mirage also waived its 
redemption rights under the BCI Notes which becomes effective upon a change 
in control.

     Notwithstanding the Deferral Option, management of the Company believes
that the combination of existing cash and cash flows from operations will not be
sufficient to meet the Company's obligations as they become due during fiscal
1998.  These obligations include scheduled interest payments on the BCI Notes
(approximately $6,600,000 for the year) and the scheduled interest and principal
repayment on the $5,000,000 note payable due September 30, 1998.  Management
expects that the need for cash will be significantly relieved upon completion of
the Acquisition Agreement and merger with Mirage.  However, as more fully
described above, the Acquisition Agreement is subject to certain conditions,
including regulatory and shareholder approvals.  Should the Acquisition
Agreement not be approved, or should the closing be delayed, the Company would
not have sufficient resources to pay interest and scheduled principal of the
indebtedness acquired by Mirage, without modification of the terms of such
indebtedness.

     There is no assurance that the Acquisition Agreement will be approved, that
such approval would be received on a timely basis, nor that modifications to the
terms of the indebtedness would be obtained, if necessary.  Accordingly, these
matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern.  The final outcome of these matters is not presently
determinable and the December 31, 1997 financial statements of the Company do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
