                 HORSESHOE GAMING HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
of Horseshoe Gaming Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries
(the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to those rules and regulations. It is suggested that these consolidated
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of all periods
presented have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the
full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements
as previously presented to conform to current classifications.

Note 2 - Empress Acquisition

        On December 1, 1999, the Company acquired from Empress Entertainment,
Inc. ("Empress"), all of the outstanding stock of two of Empress' operating
subsidiaries, Empress Casino Hammond Corporation ("Empress Hammond") and Empress
Casino Joliet Corporation ("Empress Joliet") for $493.9 million in cash plus
transaction costs (the "Empress Merger"). As additional consideration, the
Company assumed $150 million of Empress' 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2006 (the "Empress Notes"). Pursuant to a change in control offer to purchase
the Empress Notes at 101% of their principal amount in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture, the Company retired all of the Empress Notes in January 2000.
Empress Joliet and Empress Hammond continue to operate as wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company.

        The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of
accounting. The Company is currently in the process of allocating the purchase
price among the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed in the Empress acquisition. The Company estimates the value of other
acquired intangibles included in other assets, net in the accompanying
consolidated condensed balance sheets are $10.0 million for trademarks and $5.0
million for customer lists, to be amortized over five years. Upon completion of
the final purchase price allocation, to the extent the purchase price exceeds
the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired,
such excess will be allocated to goodwill and amortized over approximately 25
years.

        The following unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial information has
been prepared assuming the acquisitions and the debt extinguishment described
above had occurred on January 1, 1999. These results have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would have
occurred had the acquisitions been made at the beginning of the period, or as a
prediction of results which may occur in the future.

                                            Three months ended
                                              March 31, 1999
                                            ------------------

                   Net revenue                   $225,896
                   Operating income              $ 42,289
                   Net income                    $ 17,541

                                   (UNAUDITED)


Note 3 - Deferred Compensation Expense

        The Company recorded deferred compensation expense of $8.4 million
during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 related to the increase in the valuation
of ownership interests of: (i) vested put/call options included in certain
employment agreements (ii) vested options in the 1997 Unit Option Plan and (iii)
vested options in the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. The increase in valuation for
the Company was primarily related to the Empress Merger.


Note 4 - Subsequent Events

         On April 1, 2000, the Company agreed to repurchase ownership interests
of approximately 1.0% of the Company from two owners totaling $10.9 million.
After deducting for amounts previously advanced to the owners, the remaining
balance of $7.1 million will be paid on various dates through April 30, 2005.

PART I    FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The following discussion and analysis provides information which
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Horseshoe Gaming
Holding Corp. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries. The discussion should be
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated condensed financial
statements and notes thereto.

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, which generally can be identified by the use of such terms such as
"may," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "continue," or similar variations or
the negative thereof. These forward looking statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties, such as risks associated with substantial indebtedness,
debt service and liquidity; risks of competition in the Company's existing and
future markets; difficulties in successfully completing the integration with
Empress, failure to obtain or retain licenses or regulatory approvals; changes
in gaming laws and regulations; and other factors discussed in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, which could
cause actual results to differ materially.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Horseshoe Tunica competes with nine other casinos in the competitive
Tunica County, Mississippi market. The Company has begun an expansion of the
facility whereby it will move and expand the existing buffet restaurant, add an
additional restaurant and utilize the area to be vacated by the current buffet
restaurant to add approximately 400 slot machines and 10 table games. The
Company estimates the expansion will cost between $40 to $45 million and expects
the project to be completed in December 2000.

         Horseshoe Bossier City is one of four riverboat casinos currently
operating in the Bossier City/Shreveport, Louisiana market. A fifth casino,
including an all-suite hotel and entertainment complex, is expected to open in
the Bossier City/Shreveport market in the fourth quarter of 2000. In addition,
one of the existing casinos in that market is expanding their facility by adding
a hotel, four restaurants, a convention center, health spa and parking garage.
This expansion is also expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2000.
The impact of these additions on the operating margins of the Horseshoe Bossier
City property is uncertain.

         Empress Hammond and Empress Joliet compete with seven other casinos in
the Chicago market, which include four casinos on Lake Michigan in northern
Indiana and three casinos located in Illinois. In May 1999, the Illinois
legislature enacted amendments to the Illinois Riverboat Gambling Act which
could result in one of the ten state-authorized licenses for Illinois being
relocated to Rosemont, Illinois. The impact on the operating margins of Empress
Hammond and Empress Joliet due to the relocation of a gaming license to the
Chicago market is uncertain. The results of operations for the Empress
properties are not included in the Company's consolidated condensed statements
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as the merger was
completed on December 1, 1999.

Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

         Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $258.3 million
as compared to $120.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Operating
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $44.7 million compared to $26.6
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The operating margin decreased in
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to 17.3% of net revenues from 22.1% for the
comparable 1999 period. Increased corporate and deferred compensation expenses
described below, contributed to the lower operating margin in the March 31, 2000
quarter.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Horseshoe Tunica

         Horseshoe Tunica contributed net revenues of $64.8 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $59.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1999. The increase in net revenues is primarily due to an increase in slot
volume. Horseshoe Tunica's net revenues include casino revenues and non-casino
revenues of $62.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 and $57.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. Casino revenue per day increased approximately 7.4% in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $682,000 from $635,000 for the comparable 1999
period.

         Operating income before corporate expenses for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 was $20.4 million compared to $16.2 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. The operating margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was 31.5% of
net revenues compared to 27.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
increase in operating margins is directly attributed to the increase in slot
volume.

Horseshoe Bossier City

         Horseshoe Bossier City contributed net revenues of $65.3 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $60.7 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to an increase in slot
volume with a small increase in table games volume but offset by the closing of
the poker room early in the first quarter of 2000 to make room for approximately
200 additional slot machines. Net revenues include casino revenues and
non-casino revenues of $59.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $55.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively,
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Casino revenue per day increased
approximately 6.5% in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to $657,000 from $617,000
for the comparable 1999 period.

         Operating income before corporate expenses for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 was $12.4 million compared to $11.5 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. The operating margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was 19.0% of
net revenues, compared with 19.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
increase in operating income is the result of increased gaming revenues in the
first quarter of 2000 as compared to the first quarter of 1999.

Empress Joliet

         Empress Joliet contributed net revenues of $63.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. Net revenues include casino revenues and
non-casino revenues of $59.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. Casino revenue per day was approximately $656,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

         Empress Joliet's operating income before corporate expenses for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $17.0 million. The operating margin for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was 26.9% of net revenues.

Empress Hammond

         Empress Hammond contributed net revenues of $64.8 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. Net revenues include casino revenues and
non-casino revenues of $62.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. Casino revenue per day was approximately $689,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

         Empress Hammond's operating income before corporate expenses for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $15.6 million. The operating margin for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was 24.0% of net revenues.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

Other

         Corporate expenses increased approximately $5.8 million in the first
quarter of 2000 as compared to the first quarter of 1999, primarily due to
increased legal and professional fees and charges related to the relocation of
the corporate headquarters to Joliet, Illinois, including the expansion of the
corporate staff to accommodate the Empress acquisition. The Company anticipates
additional relocation costs during the second quarter of 2000.

         Deferred compensation expense increased approximately $7.9 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999
due to an increase in the valuation of ownership interests due to the Empress
acquisition.

         The increase in consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of
$11.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the first quarter of
1999, is primarily attributable to depreciation on the two new properties added
in the Empress acquisition along with the amortization of the goodwill
associated with the Empress acquisition. In addition, interest expense increased
$14.5 million in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the comparable period
in the prior year due to increased borrowings necessary to fund the Empress
acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $95.7
million. During the first quarter of 2000, cash provided by operating activities
was $68.4 million and net cash used in investing activities was $10.9 million.
During the quarter, the Company repaid $237.0 million of long-term debt,
received $159.0 million in proceeds from restricted cash and paid capital
distributions of $1.6 million for a net total of approximately $80.0 million
used in financing activities. The Company believes that the Company's cash and
cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations and available borrowing capacity
under its existing revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet the
Company's debt service obligations and maintenance capital expenditures
commitments for the next twelve months.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On April 1, 2000, the Company agreed to repurchase ownership interests
of approximately 1.0% of the Company from two owners totaling $10.9 million.
After deducting for amounts previously advanced to the owners, the remaining
balance of $7.1 million will be paid on various dates through April 30, 2005.

         On April 14, 2000, an additional tax distribution dividend of $11.6
million was made to the stockholders of the Company.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         As of March 31, 2000 there were no material changes to the information
incorporated by reference in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
