               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.   General:

     The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements, which
are unaudited, include the operations of Resorts International Hotel,
Inc. ("RIH") and its subsidiaries.  RIH owns and operates the Resorts
Casino Hotel, a casino/hotel complex located in Atlantic City, New
Jersey.  RIH is a wholly owned subsidiary of GGRI, Inc. ("GGRI"), which
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun International North America, Inc.
("SINA").  SINA was known as Griffin Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. until
February 6, 1997.  "SINA" is used herein to refer to that corporation
both before and after its name change.  Neither the accounts of GGRI nor
the accounts of SINA are included in the consolidated financial
statements of RIH.

     On December 16, 1996, SINA became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun
International Hotels Limited ("SIHL"), a corporation organized under the
laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, through a merger transaction
(the "Merger").  As a result of the Merger, RIH's consolidated assets
and liabilities were adjusted to their estimated fair values as of
December 31, 1996.  The Merger and related basis adjustments are
discussed in detail in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in RIH's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996 (the "RIH 1996 Form 10-K").

     While the accompanying interim financial information is unaudited,
management of RIH believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of these interim results have been made and all such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The seasonality of the
business is described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the RIH 1996 Form 10-K. 
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods presented
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

     The notes presented herein are intended to provide supplemental
disclosure of items of significance occurring subsequent to December 31,
1996 and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in pages 32 through 50 of the RIH 1996
Form 10-K.

B.   Reverse Repurchase Agreements:

     Cash equivalents at September 30, 1997 included $24,980,000 of
reverse repurchase agreements (federal government securities purchased
under agreements to resell those securities) with Prudential Securities,
Inc. under which RIH had not taken delivery of the underlying
securities.  These agreements matured during the first week of October
1997.
<PAGE>
C.   Refinancing:

     In February 1997, Resorts International Hotel Financing, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of RIH ("RIHF"), offered (the "Offer") to
purchase its outstanding $125,000,000 principal amount of 11% Mortgage
Notes due 2003 (the "Mortgage Notes") and $35,000,000 principal amount
of 11.375% Junior Mortgage Notes due 2004 (the "Junior Mortgage Notes"). 
In connection with the Offer, RIHF sought the consent of the holders
(the "Consents") to amend the relevant indentures to, among other
things, release the collateral for the Mortgage Notes and Junior
Mortgage Notes.  Pursuant to the Offer, RIHF acquired $119,645,000
principal amount of Mortgage Notes and $21,001,000 principal amount of
Junior Mortgage Notes, for a total purchase price (including payments
relating to the Consents) of $153,712,000.  There remains outstanding
$5,355,000 principal amount of Mortgage Notes and $1,100,000 principal
amount of Junior Mortgage Notes, which, as a result of the amendments to
the indentures, are now unsecured obligations of RIHF.  The remaining
Junior Mortgage Notes continue to trade as part of units consisting of
$1,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes and .1928 of an
ordinary share of SIHL.

     In connection with the Offer, SIHL and SINA (the "Issuers") issued
$200,000,000 principal amount of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007
(the "Senior Notes") which, after costs, resulted in net proceeds of
approximately $194,000,000.  These proceeds were loaned to RIH in
exchange for a $200,000,000 promissory note (the "New RIH Note") with
terms that mirror the terms of the Senior Notes, and RIH's guarantee of
the Senior Notes.  RIH transferred to RIHF (i) $153,712,000 in cash
which RIHF used to pay the purchase price, (including payments related
to the Consents), excluding accrued interest, for the Mortgage Notes and
Junior Mortgage Notes tendered to RIHF pursuant to the Offer and (ii)
$12,899,000 Junior Mortgage Notes owned by RIH.  In exchange for this,
the $125,000,000 and $35,000,000 promissory notes from RIH to RIHF (the
"RIH Notes"), the terms of which mirror the terms of the Mortgage Notes
and Junior Mortgage Notes, respectively, were canceled and RIH issued
new promissory notes to RIHF in the amounts of, and with terms that
mirror, the remaining Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes.  The
excess of the cash and carrying value of the Junior Mortgage Notes
tendered by RIH to RIHF over the net decrease in carrying value,
excluding accrued interest, of the affiliated notes from RIH to RIHF,
plus estimated costs of the Offer, which were borne by RIH, resulted in
an extraordinary loss of $5,000,000.  RIH also recorded a deferred tax
benefit of $2,043,000 related to this extraordinary item.

     Interest on both the Senior Notes and the New RIH Note is payable
on March 15 and September 15 in each year.  These payments commenced
September 15, 1997 with an interest payment of $9,550,000.  The
indenture for the Senior Notes (the "Senior Indenture") contains certain
covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Issuers and the
Guarantors (including RIH) to, among other things: (i) incur additional
indebtedness, (ii) incur certain liens, (iii) engage in certain
transactions with affiliates and (iv) pay dividends and make certain
other restricted payments.

Accounting Standards No. 95 "Statement of Cash Flows" are presented

E.   Reclassifications

     Certain reclassificaitons have been made to the 1996 balances to
conform with the current year presentation.

F.   Commitments and Contingencies:

     Casino Reinvestment Development Authority ("CRDA")

     As previously reported in the RIH 1996 Form 10-K, certain issues
have been raised by the CRDA  and the State of New Jersey Department of
the Treasury (the "Treasury") concerning the satisfaction of investment
obligations for the years 1979 through 1983 by RIH.  As of September 30,
1997 RIH, the CRDA and the Treasury have reached a settlement on this
issue.  The settlement calls for RIH to donate land with an appraised
value of $4.8 million to the CRDA, contribute $5.6 million of funds
currently on deposit with the CRDA, which were allocated to purchase
Atlantic City Housing Bonds, and establish a $3.0 million mortgage
guarantee program for purchases of residential, owner-occupied property
in the City of Atlantic City.  Additionally, because the settlement was
previously provided for, this transaction did not have any impact on
RIH's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ended
September 30, 1997.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity

     At September 30, 1997 RIH had working capital of $27,062,000
including $51,392,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
<PAGE>
     RIH, through notes payable to affiliates, is the principal source
of funds for servicing the $200,000,000 principal amount of Senior
Notes, the remaining $5,355,000 principal amount of Mortgage Notes and
the remaining $1,100,000 principal amount of Junior Mortgage Notes. 
Annual interest expense on these notes totals approximately $18,700,000.

Capital Expenditures and Resources

     In March 1997 SIHL and SINA loaned the net proceeds of the Senior
Notes which, after costs, approximated $194,000,000, to RIH in exchange
for the $200,000,000 New RIH Note and RIH's guarantee of the Senior
Notes.  RIH then transferred to RIHF (i) the portion of the proceeds
($153,712,000) needed to purchase the Mortgage Notes and the Junior
Mortgage Notes tendered to RIHF pursuant to the Offer and (ii)
$12,899,000 Junior Mortgage Notes owned by RIH.  In exchange for this,
the RIH Notes were canceled and RIH issued new promissory notes to RIHF
in the amounts of $5,355,000 and $1,100,000 and with terms that mirror
the terms of the remaining Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes,
respectively. See Note C of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further discussion of these transactions.

     In September 1997, SIHL announced plans for renovation of Resorts
Casino Hotel into a highly themed resort.  The renovation is anticipated
to include the construction of a new hotel tower with approximately 600
rooms to replace the 160 existing rooms in the North Tower along with
the remodeling of public areas and the casino.  This renovation is
expected to begin in 1998 and cost approximately $150 million. 
Financing of this project will come from internal cash flows and an
existing credit facility of an affiliated company of RIH.  Any such
plans will be subject to regulatory and other approvals.

     In August 1997, RIH purchased $10,894,000 of land adjacent to
Resorts Casino Hotel.  This land is currently being used for parking,
although the site, along with other land owned by SINA, could be used
for future expansion.

     Competition for Atlantic City casino patrons remains intense. 
Adding to the competition for patrons, expansions at two competing
Atlantic City properties opened in mid-1996 which, combined, added
approximately 1,100 hotel rooms and approximately 85,000 square feet of
gaming space.  In July 1997 a competitor added approximately 75,000
square feet of casino space which includes approximately 1,766 slot
machines and 58 table games.  Several other companies have announced
plans to expand existing or construct new casino/hotels in Atlantic
City.  These capacity increases in Atlantic City have negatively
impacted RIH's gaming revenues as described below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of Three Month Periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     Gaming revenues were $66,607,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, a decrease of $5,747,000 or 7.9% from gaming
revenues of $72,354,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  This
<PAGE>
decrease in gaming revenues consisted of a  reduction in both table
games and slot revenues.

     Slot revenues were $46,588,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997, a decrease of $4,134,000 or 8.2% from $50,722,000 for the
comparable period in 1996.  This decrease was due to a  decrease in slot
handle (dollar amounts wagered) by $45,315,000 or 7.8% to $533,497,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $578,812,000 for the
comparable period in 1996 and a decrease in cash promotional expenses
(amount of coin coupons and cash back to patrons) of approximately
$973,000 or 10.2% associated with the shifting of marketing programs
that contribute marginal returns and are reflected as revenue. 
Management is currently in the process of upgrading its slot product and
in September had completed an upgrade of 35% of its $0.25 denomination
slot product to include more popular machines.

     Table games revenues were $18,616,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, a decrease of  $1,272,000 or 6.4% from $19,888,000
for the comparable period in 1996.  This decrease was due to a
combination of a reduction in table games drop (the dollar amount of
chips purchased) by $5,413,000 or 4.0% to $129,054,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $134,467,000 for the comparable
period in 1996, and a reduction in hold percentage (ratio of casino win
to total amount of chips purchased) of 0.4 percentage points to 14.4%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 14.8% for the
comparable period in 1996.

     Poker, simulcast and keno revenues were $1,403,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $341,000 or 19.6% from
$1,744,000 for the comparable period in 1996.

     Other revenues were $16,883,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $626,000 or 3.9% from other revenues
of $16,257,000 for the comparable period of 1996.  Other revenues
include revenues from rooms, food and beverage, and miscellaneous items. 
The increase is primarily attributable to a $792,000 or 49.8% increase
in total entertainment headliner revenues to $2,381,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $1,589,000 for the comparable
period in 1996.  This is partially offset by a $486,000 decrease in food
and beverage revenues due to a 28,085 or 4.7% decrease in food covers
and a $0.07 or 0.6% decrease in the average check from 1996.

     Gaming costs and expenses were $40,536,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $3,877,000 or 8.7% from expenses
of $44,413,000 for the comparable period in 1996. This represents costs
and expenses associated with table games, slot operations, win
contribution expense, and promotional items and services provided to
patrons. The decrease is primarily due to management's implementation of
various cost containment efforts.

     Selling, general and administrative costs were $6,887,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $1,538,000 or 18.3%
from expenses of $8,425,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The
<PAGE>
decrease is primarily due to management's implementation of various cost
containment efforts.

     Income from operations was $8,350,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $1,308,000 or 18.6% from income of
$7,042,000 for the comparable period in 1996.

     Interest expense, net of amortization, was $4,858,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $289,000 or 6.3% from
interest expense of $4,569,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  This
currently represents interest expense associated with the Senior Notes
as well as the remaining Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of Nine Month Periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     Gaming revenues were $190,971,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, a decrease of $8,630,000 or 4.3% from gaming
revenues of  $199,601,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  This
decrease in gaming revenues consisted of a  reduction in both table
games and slot revenues.

     Slot revenues were $132,400,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, a decrease of $6,848,000 or 4.9% from $139,248,000 for the
comparable period in 1996.  This decrease was due to a  decrease in slot
handle (dollar amounts wagered) by $80,317,000 or 5.1% to $1,501,740,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $1,582,057,000 for the
comparable period in 1996 and a decrease in cash promotional expenses
(amount of coin coupons and cash back to patrons) of approximately $3.6
million or 12.7% associated with the shifting of marketing programs that
contribute marginal returns and are reflected as revenue.  Management is
currently in the process of upgrading its slot product and had
completed in September an upgrade of 35% of its $0.25 denomination slot
product to include more popular machines.

     Table games revenues were $54,249,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, a decrease of  $843,000 or 1.5% from $55,092,000 for
the comparable period in 1996.  This decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in table games drop (the dollar amount of chips purchased) by
$2,055,000 or 0.6% to $352,808,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $354,863,000 for the comparable period in 1996 and a hold
percentage (ratio of casino win to total amount of chips purchased)
decrease of 0.1 percentage points to 15.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from 15.5% for the comparable period in 1996.

     Poker, simulcast and keno revenues were $4,322,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $939,000 or 17.8% from
$5,261,000 for the comparable period in 1996.

     Other revenues were $41,798,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $1,440,000 or 3.6% from other revenues of
$40,358,000 for the comparable period of 1996. Other revenues include
revenues from rooms, food and beverage, and miscellaneous items.  The
<PAGE>
increase primarily reflects a $1,152,000 or 29.8% increase in total
entertainment headliner revenues to $5,018,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $3,866,000 for the comparable period in 1996.  

     Gaming costs and expenses were $117,681,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $6,112,000 or 4.9% from expenses
of $123,793,000 for the comparable period in 1996. This represents costs
and expenses associated with table games, slot operations, win
contribution expense, and promotional items and services provided to
patrons. The decrease is primarily due to management's implementation of
various cost containment efforts during 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative costs were $23,221,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $2,608,000 or 10.1%
from expenses of $25,829,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The
decrease is primarily due to management's implementation of various cost
containment efforts.

     Income from operations was $14,463,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $2,248,000 or 18.4% from income of
$12,215,000 for the comparable period in 1996.

     Interest expense, net of amortization, was $13,821,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $234,000 or 1.7% from
interest expense of $13,587,000 for the comparable period in 1996. This
currently represents interest expense associated with the Senior Notes
as well as the remaining Mortgage Notes and Junior Mortgage Notes.

Forward Looking Statements

     The statements contained herein include forward looking statements
based on management's current expectations of RIH's future performance. 
Predictions relating to future performance are inherently uncertain and
subject to a number of risks.  Consequently, RIH's actual results could
differ materially from the expectations expressed in the preceding
paragraphs.  Factors that could cause RIH's actual results to differ
materially from the expected results include, among other things: the
intensely competitive nature of the casino gaming industry; increases in
the number of competitors in the market in which RIH operates; the
seasonality of the industry in the market in which RIH operates; the
susceptibility of  RIH's operating results to adverse weather conditions
and natural disasters; the risk that certain governmental approvals may
not be obtained; changes in governmental regulations governing RIH's
activities and other risks detailed in RIH's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
