Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective May 17, 2007, the Board of Directors of Boyd Gaming Corporation (the "Company") terminated the Company's 1993 Directors Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan"). The Directors Plan provided for the automatic grant of stock options to the Company's non-employee directors upon initial election to the Board of Directors and annually thereafter. As a result of such termination, no further stock options may be granted under the Directors' Plan. The termination of the Directors Plan will not affect any stock options previously granted pursuant to the Directors Plan. The Company intends to make grants of restricted stock units to its non-employee directors under its 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.

On May 17, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved amendments to Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 of Article 8 of the Company's bylaws, effective as of the same date, to facilitate the Company's participation in the Direct Registration System.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Company's bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the bylaws, as amended and restated, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
