ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER:

     This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 5") should be read in
conjunction with the Schedule 13D dated May 7, 1998 ("Schedule 13D"), Amendment
No. 1 dated June 11, 1998 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 dated July 8,
1998 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 3 dated November 3, 1998 ("Amendment No.
3"), and Amendment No. 4 dated July 22, 1999, ("Amendment No. 4") 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. 5 amends the Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3
and Amendment No. 4 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, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2.

     This filing of Amendment No. 5 is not, and should not 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  common stock, $.001 par value (the
"Common Stock") 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:

     Item 3 is amended by adding the following paragraph as the last paragraph:

     B III Capital Partners, L.P. ("B III") held Senior Notes of the Company in
an aggregate principal amount of $47.25 million (the "Senior Notes"). Effective
November 24,1999, B III exchanged $39.75 million of the Senior Notes for Series
D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred Stock") which stock will be
convertible into 174,289,127 shares of Common Stock upon the approval and
effectiveness of an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation
authorizing additional shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit such
conversion.  To comply with applicable gaming laws, if B III seeks to convert
shares of Series D Preferred Stock that would, following such conversion, cause
B III to own in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock, such conversion
requires 65 days notice to the Company.  In addition, conversion of Series D
Preferred Stock may require DDJ and B III to seek prior approval or make certain
prior filings with certain state gaming authorities.  Further, ownership of such
shares of Common Stock may subject DDJ and B III to regulatory approval under
applicable state gaming control laws.  Neither B III nor DDJ has sought or
received such approval or made filings to permit such conversion.  The Shares of
Series D Preferred Stock are non-voting; provided, however, that a holder of the
Series D Preferred Stock will have the right to vote the number of shares of
Common Stock into which all of such holder's shares of Series D Preferred Stock
are convertible, as a class with the other holders of Common Stock and not as a
separate class, only if such holder has first received all prior approvals
required under applicable gaming laws for conversion of all of the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder and complied with any filing
requirements prerequisite to such holder's conversion of all of the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder.

     Effective November 24, 1999, the Funds acquired a warrant (the "Series E
Warrant") to purchase 60,807.731 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series E Preferred Stock").  The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible
into 60,807,731 shares of Common Stock, in the same manner as the Series D
Preferred Stock.  The Series E Preferred Stock has identical voting rights as
the Series D Preferred Stock.  The Series E Warrant is exercisable only upon,
and to the extent of, the exercise of certain warrants to be issued to the
existing holders of the Common Stock as described in Item 4 below.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     Item 4 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     The shares owned by DDJ and the DDJ Affiliates, including B III, were
purchased or otherwise acquired in pursuit of a specific investment objective
established by the Investors in the Funds.  DDJ Affiliates may continue to have
the Funds purchase additional shares of the Company subject to factors,
including, without limitation, the availability of shares for sale at a price
that is, in their opinion, reasonable and attractive and other investment
opportunities that may be available to the Funds.

     DDJ and the DDJ Affiliates intend to review continuously the equity
position of the Funds in the Company.  Depending upon further evaluation of
business prospects of the Company and upon other developments, including, but
not limited to, general economic and business conditions and money and stock
market conditions, DDJ and the DDJ Affiliates may determine to make additional
purchase of shares or to increase or decrease the interest in the Company by
acquiring additional shares of the Company's Common Stock or by disposing of
their shares.

     On November 24, 1999, the Company effected a financial restructuring (the
"Restructuring") pursuant to a Restructuring Agreement (the "Restructuring
Agreement") between the Company and B III whereby B III agreed, among other
things, to convert a portion of the outstanding Senior Notes with an aggregate
principal amount of $47.25 million (the "Original Notes") held by B III (the
"Restructuring").  Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, B III exchanged
$39.75 million of the Original Notes for Series D Preferred Stock, which stock
will be convertible into an aggregate of 174,289,127 shares of Common Stock upon
the approval and effectiveness of an amendment to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation authorizing additional shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit
such conversion.

     In connection with the Restructuring, the Company intends to conduct an
exchange offer whereby the holders of the public common equity as of November
24, 1999 who elect to participate may exchange one share of Common Stock for a
"unit" consisting of one share of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 3.59662
shares (a "Public Warrant") of Common Stock. The exercise price of the Public
Warrants will be at $0.1528 per share.  The Common Stock issued upon exercise of
the Public Warrants will represent approximately 13% of the outstanding Common
Stock on a fully-diluted basis.  In addition, the Public Warrants would only be
exercisable after the first anniversary of issuance and would terminate four
years from their issuance.  The Public Warrants might terminate prior to their
scheduled expiration if the

                                  SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP NO. 827054107                       PAGE 8 OF 11 PAGES


Company's common stock trades on Nasdaq National Market or a national securities
exchange at a price in excess of $0.2346 for a specified period of time.
Holders of the Public Warrants would have 180 days to exercise prior to such
termination.  The Company issued to B III the Series E Warrant in order to
prevent material dilution of the Series D Preferred Stock as a result of the
issuance of the Public Warrants.  The Series E Warrant is exercisable only upon
and to the extent of the exercise of the Public Warrants.  The Shares of Series
E Preferred Stock are non-voting; provided, however, that a holder of the Series
E Preferred Stock will have the right to vote the number of shares of Common
Stock into which all of such holder's shares of Series E Preferred Stock are
convertible, as a class with the other holders of Common Stock and not as a
separate class, only if such holder has first received all prior approvals
required under applicable gaming laws for conversion of all of the shares of
Series E Preferred Stock held by such holder and complied with any filing
requirements prerequisite to such holder's conversion of all of the shares of
Series E Preferred Stock held by such holder.

     The Company has allocated 38% of its equity (calculated prior to issuance
of the Public Warrants), consisting of 116,190,084 shares of Common Stock, to be
issued as incentive compensation to the employees.  This management equity would
not be fully issuable until the approval and effectiveness of an amendment to
the Company's Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of
Common Stock to an amount sufficient to permit such issuance as well as the
issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred
Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock.  Of the 116,190,084 shares of Common
Stock issuable as incentive compensation, 15,657,490 shares were issued to
members of senior management on November 24, 1999.  These shares represented a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following
issuance.

     The Reporting Persons do not have any current intent to influence control
over the business or operations of the Company or to seek the gaming approval to
vote or to convert either the Series D Preferred Stock or the Series E Preferred
Stock when, and if, issued pursuant to the Series E Warrant.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER:

     Paragraph (a) in Item 5 is deleted in its entirety and amended as follows:

     (a)  B III beneficially owns, and DDJ Capital III, LLC ("DDJ Capital III")
and DDJ beneficially own as general partner and investment manager,
respectively, of B III, 1,066,460 Shares (assuming exercise of the warrants to
purchase 625,000 shares of Common Stock, see Item 3), or approximately 3.5% of
the outstanding Shares of the Company.  Accordingly, DDJ, as investment manager
to the Funds may be deemed to beneficially own 1,066,460 Shares, or
approximately 3.5% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.

     (b)  B III owns 39,750 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and warrants to
acquire 60,807.731 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively,
the "Preferred Shares").  These Preferred Shares may only be converted into
Common Stock upon the approval and effectiveness of an amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation authorizing additional shares of Common
Stock sufficient to permit such conversion.  To comply with applicable gaming
laws, if B III seeks to convert shares of Series D Preferred Stock that would,
following such conversion, cause B III to own in excess of 4.9% of the
outstanding Common Stock, such conversion requires 65 days notice to the
Company.  In addition, conversion of Series D Preferred Stock may require DDJ
and B III to seek prior approval or make certain prior filings with certain
state gaming authorities.  Further, ownership of such shares of Common Stock may
subject DDJ and B III to regulatory approval under applicable state gaming
control laws.  The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into 174,289,127
shares of Common Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into
60,807,731 shares of Common Stock.


ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
          TO THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER:

     Item 6 is amended by adding the following paragraph:

     On November 24, 1999, DDJ Capital Management, LLC on behalf of B III
entered into the Restructuring Agreement and Warrant Agreement.  Please see Item
4 above for a description of the terms of the agreements.
