Atlantic City, NJ --- Sun International Hotels Limited has announced that it 
has completed its merger with Griffin Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. Griffin 
Gaming has become a subsidiary of Sun International, and Merv Griffin's 
Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey is part of the deal.

Sun International Hotels Limited is an international resort and gaming 
company which develops and manages premier resort and casino properties. Sun 
currently operates resort hotels and casinos in Connecticut, The Bahamas, 
Indian Ocean, France, and now also in New Jersey.

In addition to the $200 million acquisition, the company has announced plans 
for $500 million in improvements to the Atlantic City property. Sol Kerzner, 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sun International, said that "Resorts 
will be transformed into an ocean themed mega-resort based on the theme of 
the Lost Continent of Atlantis. The marine features and aquariums will be the 
largest on the East Coast of the US, or almost twice the size of the National 
Aquarium in Baltimore. One of the features will include the world's largest 
indoor living tidal coral reef."

This development includes a renovation of the existing Resorts Hotel as well 
as new development on adjacent real estate. Approximately 1,400 new hotel 
rooms will bring the total complex to 2,000 rooms. The new highly themed 
casino floor will encompass approximately 100,000 square feet.

The actual construction is scheduled to commence later this year and should 
be concluded by Winter 1999.
