FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SUN INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES 2001 THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

PARADISE ISLAND, The Bahamas, November 5, 2001 – Sun International Hotels Limited (NYSE: SIH) reported a net loss for the quarter of $7.5 million, before pre-opening expenses, real estate sales, restructuring and refinancing costs, compared to recurring earnings of $9.2 million in the same period last year. The loss per share for the period, excluding the above items, was $0.28, compared to recurring earnings per share (pro forma for the sale of Resorts Atlantic City) of $0.10 for the same period last year.

Including the non-recurring items referred to above, the Company recorded a loss in the quarter of $11.7 million, compared to net income of $12.4 million for the same period last year.

The reduction in profitability was primarily due to the dramatic effects on occupancies at Atlantis, Paradise Island, in September after September 11.

Paradise Island

The Company’s Paradise Island operations generated EBITDA of $14.3 million, a 38% decline compared to the $23.2 million that was achieved during the same period last year. The Paradise Island businesses performed very well during July and August. Atlantis achieved an average occupancy of 92% for these two months and an increase of 25% in EBITDA over the same period last year.

In September, which is traditionally slower after Labor Day in the United States, Atlantis’ average occupancy was 35%, compared to 68% in the same month last year. Based on the significant reduction in business volumes in September, following September 11, a series of actions were taken at the property in order to reduce operating costs. Daily call volumes received by the Company’s in-house tour operator, which fell by more than 70% following September 11, have improved quite significantly, although remain below year ago levels.

Results at the Ocean Club were similarly affected by the events of September 11, with the property achieving an occupancy of 57% for the quarter compared to 78% for the same period last year.

Connecticut

The Mohegan Sun opened the first phase of its $960 million “Project Sunburst” expansion on September 25, 2001, which was one week ahead of schedule. The new “Casino of the Sky” adds over 80 additional table games, over 2,500 new slot machines, the “Shops at Mohegan Sun”, a 10,000-seat events center, and further restaurant facilities. The final phase of the project will also feature a 1,200-room luxury hotel and a 100,000-square foot convention center, which are both expected to open in April 2002.

The Mohegan Sun Casino recorded growth of 7% in gross operating revenues over the same period last year, as gross revenues for the quarter were $233.3 million compared to $218.2 million in the same period last year. The gross win per slot machine per day for the quarter was $456, versus $535 for the same period last year, when neither the “Casino of the Sky” nor the “Hall of the Lost Tribes” smoke-free slot room had been opened, which together added over 3,100 new slot machines to the casino floor.

Trading Cove Associates, an entity 50%-owned by the Company, receives payments of 5% of gross revenues of the expanded Mohegan Sun operation. The Company’s share of Trading Cove Associate’s net income from Mohegan Sun was $7.1 million for the quarter compared to $5.0 million in the prior year.

Other Resort Operations

The Company manages seven luxury resort hotels in the Indian Ocean and Dubai. During the quarter, these properties were impacted by economic weakness in their European source markets and by the September 11 events. The Company earned management fees of $1.0 million from these other resort operations in the quarter, compared to $1.3 million in the comparable quarter last year.

Internet Gaming

The Company’s Internet gaming subsidiary was successful in obtaining one of three licenses awarded by the Government of the Isle of Man, one of the most credible jurisdictions to regulate Internet gaming, despite stiff competition from many major land-based casino operators.

The Company’s Internet gaming test site, www.AmbassadorCasino.com which went live early in July 2001 in a test mode, is designed to exclude play from countries where Internet gaming is unlawful, including the United States, and to prevent under-age access to the site. The Company will monitor the progress of the site with the intention of launching a fully-fledged operation later this year. The costs related to the test site have been expensed as pre-opening expenses.

Financing

In August, the Company successfully issued $200 million of 8-7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the loans outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
