ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER:

     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1") should be read in
conjunction with the Schedule 13D dated May 7, 1998 ("Schedule 13D") and
Amendment No. 1 dated June 11, 1998 each as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by DDJ Capital Management, LLC, a Massachusetts limited
liability company, and certain affiliates.  This Amendment No. 2 amends the
Schedule 13D and Amendment No. 1 only with respect to those items listed below.
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto on the Schedule 13D or Amendment No. 1.

     This filing of Amendment is not, and should be deemed to be, an admission
that the Schedule 13D or any Amendment thereto is required to be filed.

     This statement relates to shares of the common stock, $.001 par value (the
"Shares") of Silicon Gaming, Inc. (the "Company").  The principal executive
offices of the Company are located at 2800 West Bayshore Road, Palo Alto, CA
94303.

ITEM 3.   SOURCES AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION:

     The second paragraph in Item 3 is deleted in its entirety and amended as
follows:

     In addition, on September 30, 1997, in connection with its purchase of
private Senior Notes from the Company in a private placement, B III Capital
Partners, L.P. acquired for cash warrants to purchase 375,000 Shares.  The
amount of $3,082,500.00 was allocated to the purchase of such Warrants.  Each
Warrant is currently exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock of the
Company at an exercise price of $8.00 per Share, subject to adjustment and
subject to reset on July 15, 1999 to the lower of $8.00 per Share of 120%.  The
exercise price was reset pursuant to an amendment to the Securities Purchase
