ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER:

     This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 4") 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") and Amendment No. 3 dated November 3, 1998 ("Amendment
No. 3") 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. 4 amends the Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1,
Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3 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, Amendment No. 2
or Amendment No. 3.

     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 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:

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

     The Shares described herein were purchased in pursuit of a specified
investment objective established by the Investors in the Funds.  DDJ and the DDJ
Affiliates may continue to have the Funds purchase Shares subject to a number of
factors, including, among other, the availability of Shares for sale at what
they consider to be reasonable prices 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 evaluations of the
business prospects of the Company and upon other developments, including, but
not limited to, general economic and business conditions and money market and
Stock market conditions, DDJ and the DDJ affiliates may determine to cease
making additional purchases of Shares or to increase or decrease the equity
interest in the Company by acquiring additional Shares, or by disposing of all
or a portion of the Shares.

CUSIP NO. 827054107                        PAGE 6 OF 8 PAGES


     On July 22, 1999, DDJ Capital Management, LLC, on behalf of the B III
Capital Partners, L.P. ("B III"), signed a non-binding letter of intent with the
Company to convert a portion of the $47.25 million outstanding Senior Notes held
by B III into equity and make various modifications to the terms of the
remaining Senior Notes.

     Under the letter of intent, $39.75 million of Senior Notes would be
exchanged for preferred stock that would initially be convertible into a 57%
common equity interest in the Company.  The terms of the remaining $7.5 million
of outstanding Senior Notes would be modified to reduce the interest rate from
12.5% to 10% per annum (effective July 15, 1999) and to provide for interest to
be payable in-kind, at the Company's option and subject to certain coverage
ratio tests, for up to the first 5 years following the effective date of the
restructuring, at which time the Senior Notes would mature.

     Pursuant to the letter of intent, accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior
Notes remaining outstanding following the restructuring would be forgiven
through July 15, 1999.

     The letter of intent also contemplates an additional investment by the
Funds of up to $5.0 million in the form of convertible senior secured notes (the
"New Notes").  The New Notes would bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum,
payable in cash, with a maturity of 5 years.  The $5.0 million of New Notes
would be convertible into a 40% equity interest in the Company (subject to the
issuance of additional employee equity incentives as described below).  The New
Notes would be issuable in tranches, with the first $2.0 million issued on the
closing date of the restructuring.  To the extent required by the Company, the
remaining $3.0 million of New Notes would be issued upon the achievement of
certain financial and operating hurdles.

     As part of the restructuring, the Company would allocate 38% of its equity
as of the effective date to be issued as incentive compensation to employees.
The Company's current equity holders, including all holders of options, warrants
and convertible preferred stock, would own approximately 5% of the outstanding
fully-diluted equity upon the effective date of the restructuring (prior to the
issuance of any New Notes).  Certain of the Company's currently outstanding
warrants and convertible preferred stock have anti-dilution rights that may
substantially reduce the portion of such equity interest that would be allocated
to holders of common stock.  As discussed above, $39.75 million of existing
Notes would be convertible in the remaining 57% of the Company's outstanding
equity as of the effective date of the restructuring.  Upon issuance of any New
Notes, the number of shares of common stock allocated to the employee incentive
compensation pool would be increased so that the incentive pool would remain at
38% of the Company's equity after giving effect to the dilutive effect of

the conversion of the New Notes.  In addition, upon closing of the
restructuring, the Board of Directors of the Company will be reduced to the
three members, consisting of Andrew Pascal, the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, and two independent directors.

     The proposed restructuring is subject to a number of conditions, including
receipt by the Company's board of directors of a "fairness opinion" from an
investment banking firm, the receipt of all necessary gaming and regulatory
approvals and the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation.  There
can be no assurance that the restructuring will be successfully implemented or
that there will not be modifications to the restructuring terms.

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

     Item 6 is amended by adding the following paragraph:

     On July 22, 1999, DDJ Capital Management, LLC, on behalf of B III, signed a
non-binding letter of intent with the Company to convert a portion of the $47.25
million of outstanding Senior Notes held by B III to equity and make various
modifications to the terms of the remaining Senior Notes.  Under the letter of
intent, $39.75 million of the Senior Notes would be exchanged for Preferred
Stock that would initially be convertible into a 57% common equity interest in
the Company.  For a description of the terms of the proposed restructuring, see
Item 4 above.

EXHIBIT 99

                                  July 22, 1999


                                  CONFIDENTIAL

Mr. Andrew Pascal
Chief Executive Officer
Silicon Gaming, Inc.
2800 West Bayshore Road
Palo Alto, CA 94303

Dear Andrew:

     We are submitting this letter to you on behalf of funds managed or advised
by DDJ Capital Management (collectively, "DDJ") in connection with a possible
transaction in which DDJ would restructure its current investment in Silicon
Gaming, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company").  Attached as
Exhibit A is a term sheet describing the material terms of the proposed
restructuring.

     1.   Conditions.    The proposed restructuring would be subject to the
prior satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in the attached term
sheet, as well as customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature,
including: (i) the completion to DDJ's satisfaction of its due diligence with
respect to the Company; (ii) the absence of any material change in the business
or financial condition of the Company from such information which has been
provided to DDJ as of the date hereof; (iii) confirmation satisfactory to DDJ
that, in entering into and performing its obligations under the transaction
documents and consummating the proposed restructuring, DDJ will not violate any
federal or state statutes or regulations or regulatory policies to which it may
be subject or any internal policies; (iv) the receipt of approval of the
restructuring by any and all required regulatory authorities, including, without
limitation, state gaming authorities and, if necessary, the expiration or early
termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (v) receipt by DDJ of an opinion of an
investment bank satisfactory to DDJ that the restructuring is inherently fair to
the current stockholders of the Company; and (vi) the negotiation, execution and
delivery of documentation satisfactory to DDJ with respect to the restructuring,
on or before September 30, 1999.

     2.   Expenses.      You have asked that DDJ engage attorneys to advise it
with respect to a possible restructuring of its investment in the Company.
Accordingly, the Company hereby agrees to reimburse DDJ for its expenses,
including its reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection with its legal review
and documentation, whether such

- --------------------------------

expenses have already been incurred or are incurred in the future, whether or
not DDJ ultimately determines to consummate the proposed restructuring and
whether or not any other transaction is ever consummated between the Company or
its subsidiaries and DDJ.  In furtherance of the foregoing, you have hereby
deposited with our counsel a retainer in the amount of $50,000 from which such
counsel may draw its fees and expenses as they are incurred and which you hereby
agree to replenish as such retainer is drawn upon but in any event no less often
than monthly.  DDJ's counsel will provide you with an estimate of its fees and
expenses promptly upon execution of this letter.

     3.   Disclosure.    We have discussed the desirability of making a public
announcement of the proposed restructuring at the time of the signing of this
letter or a definitive agreement and we will be guided by this objective in our
work on this project.  Should either DDJ or the Company become required, in the
opinion of its counsel, to make a public disclosure of the proposed
restructuring or its terms under the federal securities laws, however, such
disclosing party will be permitted to do so, but before taking this step such
disclosing party shall (i) consult with the non-disclosing party and its counsel
and (ii) provide the non-disclosing party and its counsel for comment drafts of
the proposed disclosure and shall include any additions or changes to such
proposed disclosure reasonably requested by the non-disclosing party or its
counsel.

     4.   Effect of Letter.  It is understood that this letter is intended to be
a summary of certain terms on which the parties propose to proceed and is not
intended to create, and does not create, any legally binding obligations except
as provided in this Section 4 and in Sections 2, 3 and 5 hereof (which shall be
legally binding), and either party is free to terminate discussions at any time
prior to the signing of a definitive agreement for any reason without any
liability other than as expressly provided in this letter.  Except as provided
in this Section 4 and in Sections 2, 3 and 5 hereof, the parties intend that
legally binding obligations with respect to the proposed restructuring will
arise only pursuant to the execution of definitive documentation approved by the
board of directors of the Company following the due diligence described herein.

     5.   Miscellaneous.  This letter is issued solely to the Company and may
not be assigned or otherwise transferred to, or enforced by, any other person
without the prior written consent of DDJ.  This letter shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.  This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument.

     If the foregoing is an acceptable basis on which to proceed, please so
indicate by signing the enclosed counterpart of this letter in the spaces below
and returning the same to us.  If not accepted prior to the close of business on
July 22, 1999 this proposal will lapse.  Until we have received an executed

otherwise used for any purpose whatsoever.  By signing below, you confirm that
