ITEM 5.        OTHER EVENTS


        Dunes Hotels and Casinos,  Inc.,  (the Company)  reports that on July 6,
1999, it filed a complaint in interpleader in the Superior Court of the State of
California  for the County of Yolo entitled  Dunes Hotels and Casinos,  Inc. vs.
J.B.A..  Investments,  Inc., a Nevada  Corporation,  General Financial Services,
Inc., a Kansas Corporation, GFS Acquisition Company, a Kansas Corporation,  John
B. Anderson,  an Individual,  Edith Anderson,  an Individual,  Cedar Development
Company,  a  Nevada  Corporation,   Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  a
Federally Chartered  Corporation,  and Does 1 - 25, under case number CVCV99-993
(the  State  Action).  At the time of  filing  the  State  Action,  the  Company
deposited  3,000,000  shares of the  Company's  stock that are held of record by
defendant J.B.A. Investments, Inc. (the Shares) with the Court. The State Action
was filed to resolve conflicting claims concerning who has the power to transfer
and  otherwise  dispose  of the  Shares  and by whom  voting  and  other  rights
connected with the Shares may be exercised.

        On July 9, 1999, General Financial  Services,  GFS Acquisition  Company,
and  J.B.A.  Investments,  Inc.,  who are three of the  defendants  in the State
Action,  filed a complaint  against the  Company in the United  States  District
Court  Northern  District  of New York (the  Federal  Action)  under case number
99-CV-1072  LEK/DRH.  The  plaintiffs in the Federal  Action are seeking,  among
other things, a permanent  injunction  requiring the Company to give possesssion
of the Shares to plaintiff General Financial  Services and requiring the calling
of a special meeting of the  shareholders of the Company.  The plaintiffs in the
Federal Action are also seeking a preliminary  injunction  granting them similar
relief pending the outcome of the action and granting expedited  discovery.  The
Federal  Court has issued an order to show cause  scheduling a hearing on August
6,  1999 on the  application  for a  preliminary  injunction  and has  issued  a
temporary  restraining  order  pending its  decision on that  application  which
restrains the Company from disposing of the Shares or  transferring or disposing
of any of its assets  outside of the ordinary  course of  business.  The Company
intends to oppose the issuance of a preliminary injunction and to ask the court,
among other  things,  to dismiss the Federal  Action in favor of the  previously
filed State Action.

        The Company is unable to predict the outcome of either the State  Action
or the Federal Action and has no ownership interest in the Shares.  However, the
State Action,  the Federal Action, and the facts related to them may result in a
change of control of the Company.

        Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
the  registrant  has duly  caused  this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
