As a result of the filing, the Plan is now required to file Form 11-K, and, as a condition of the filing, the Plan’s auditors, Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company, are required to perform a full scope audit, rather than the limited scope that has been customarily performed in accordance with the provisions of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Statement of Accountant


[ACCOUNTANT’S STATIONERY]

June 28, 2005


Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc.
1641 Popps Ferry Road, Suite B1
Biloxi, Mississippi 39532-2226



We have been engaged to perform the audit for the Isle of Capri Retirement Trust and Savings Plan for the period ended December 31, 2004. We understand that the plan filed Form S-8 on March 10, 2005. As a result, we are required to perform a full scope, rather than the limited scope audit we have customarily performed. As a result of the increased administrative burden necessitated by the full scope audit, we will be unable to complete the audit on or before June 29, 2005, the date on which the plan is required to file Form 11-K.



Sincerely,

/s/ Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company
