POWER OF ATTORNEY

        Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes
and appoints Brandon Parris, Scott Lesmes,
Uri Clinton and Katie True-Awtry, signing singly,
as the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full
power and authority as hereinafter described to:

	(1) prepare, execute, deliver and file for
and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity
as an officer and/or director of Boyd Gaming Corporation
(the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
rules there under as amended from time to time (the
"Exchange Act");

	(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or
desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5,
including any electronic filing thereof, complete and
execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely
file such form with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

	(3) seek or obtain, as the undersigned's representative
and on the undersigned's behalf, information on
transactions in the Company's securities from any third party,
including brokers, employee benefit plan
administrators and trustees, and the undersigned hereby
authorizes any such person to release any such information
to the undersigned and approves and ratifies any such release
of information; and

	(4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion
of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest
of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact
on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms
and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve
in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

	The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact
full power and authority to do and perform
any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary and
proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights
and powers hereby granted, as fully to all intents and purposes
as the undersigned might or could do if personally
present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact,
or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of
attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.  The undersigned
acknowledges that the responsibility to file the
Forms 3, 4 and 5 are the responsibility of the undersigned, and the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such
capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor
is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's
responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees
that the attorneys-in-fact and the Company are relying on written
and oral information provided by the undersigned
to complete such forms and the undersigned is responsible for
reviewing the completed forms prior to their filing.
The attorneys-in-fact and the Company are not responsible for
any errors or omissions in such filings.  The
attorneys-in fact and the Company are not responsible for determining
whether or not the transactions reported could
be matched with any other transactions for the purpose of determining
liability for short-swing profits under Section
16(b).

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect for as
long as the undersigned is required to file Forms
3, 4 and 5 with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions
in securities issued by the Company, unless
earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of April 14, 2022.
