          (Date of Event which Requires Filing of this Statement)

     If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to
report the acquisition which is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is
filing this schedule because of Rule 13d-1(b)(3) or (4), check the following
box /  /.


     Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of  Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Act"), the undersigned hereby amend their Schedule 13D Statement dated April
18, 1996, as Amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated December 4, 1996
("Schedule 13D"), relating to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Harveys Casino Resorts.  Unless otherwise indicated, all defined terms used
herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. 

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 6 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows
so as to correct the statement in Amendment No. 1 that no money was paid
under the Leeds Agreement (as defined below):

     The description set forth in this Item 6 of the Leeds Agreement (as
defined below) does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Leeds Agreement, a copy of which was filed as
Exhibit 10.1 to this Schedule 13D Statement.

     On June 1, 1994, RCPI entered into an agreement (the "Leeds Agreement")
with Leeds Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Leeds"), pursuant to which
RCPI agreed to compensate Leeds for services provided to RCPI based on RCPI's
net profit on its investment in 300,000 shares of the Common Stock.  Pursuant
to the Leeds Agreement, if on May 31, 1996, RCPI had realized a net profit
(as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Leeds Agreement) on shares of the
Common Stock sold by RCPI prior to May 31, 1996 and on shares of the Common
Stock held by RCPI on May 31, 1996 (up to a maximum of 300,000 shares of the
Common Stock), a fee in cash or shares of the Common Stock equal to 20% of
such net profit was to be paid to Leeds by RCPI.  In addition, Leeds could
assign its rights and obligations under the Leeds Agreement at any time to
Jeffrey  T. Leeds or Robert A. Bernstein.  $294,150.00 was paid by RCPI
pursuant to the Leeds Agreement, which has expired pursuant to its terms.

     Except as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named
in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person with respect to any
securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of
any such securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or
loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.



     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete
and correct.
