                              INFORMATION STATEMENT


         This  Information  Statement is being furnished to the  shareholders of
Silicon  Gaming,  Inc.,  a  California  corporation  ("Silicon  Gaming"  or  the
"Company")  pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 14c-101 thereunder.

                  WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE
                        REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

         At the close of business on November  15, 1999,  there were  14,547,064
shares of the  Company's  common stock  issued and  outstanding.  The  Company's
common stock is the only class of its  securities  outstanding  entitled to vote
for the election of directors of the Company at a  shareholders'  meeting if one
were to be held.  Each share of the common stock  entitles its record  holder to
one vote.

         This  Information  Statement  will be  mailed  to the  shareholders  of
Silicon Gaming on or about December 16, 1999.

                                  INTRODUCTION

         The Company  anticipates that on or before January 5, 2000, the holders
of a majority of the  outstanding  shares of common  stock of the  Company  will
approve,  by a written consent action, an amendment to the Company's Amended and
Restated  Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized  number of shares
of  common  stock  from  50,000,000  to  750,000,000  (the  "Amendment").   (See
"Amendment of Articles of  Incorporation").  The Amendment  will not occur until
after the expiration of the 20-day period beginning the later of the date of the
filing of this Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Rule 14c-5 or the date of the mailing of this Information  Statement
to the Company's shareholders.

         Please read this  Information  Statement  carefully.  It describes  the
terms of the Amendment  and contains  certain  financial  and other  information
about the Company.

                   AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

         On November 24, 1999, the board of directors of Silicon Gaming approved
and  adopted a  resolution  to propose to the  shareholders  of the  Company the
Amendment. Under Section 902 of the California General Corporation Law ("CGCL"),
the Articles of  Incorporation  of a corporation may be amended if the amendment
is  approved  by the  board of  directors  and  approved  by a  majority  of the
<PAGE>
outstanding voting shares, either before or after the approval by the board. The
Company  anticipates  that a majority of the outstanding  shares of common stock
will,  by consent  action  pursuant  to  Section  603 of the CGCL,  approve  the
Amendment.  Upon  execution  of the consent  action,  the Company  will file the
Amendment with the Secretary of State of California,  as required by Section 905
of the CGCL.  The record date for holders of the common stock with regard to the
consent action is December 6, 1999 (the "Record Date").  The Record Date was set
by the board of directors  at a meeting  held on November 24, 1999.  The consent
action  will take place no sooner than 20 days from the earlier of the filing of
this  Information  Statement  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  or
mailing of this Information  Statement to the  shareholders of the Company.  The
proposed  Amendment  to the current  Section 1 of Article  III of the  Company's
Amended and  Restated  Articles of  Incorporation  would  increase the number of
authorized  shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 750,000,000.  The proposed
increase in the number of authorized  shares is primarily in order to facilitate
the restructuring ("Restructuring") of the Company. (See "Restructuring" below).

         As of November 15, 1999,  there were 14,547,064  shares of common stock
issued and outstanding, and 5,676,149 shares reserved for issuance upon exercise
of options,  warrants  and  outstanding  preferred  stock.  Consequently,  as of
November 15, 1999,  there were 29,776,787  shares of common stock authorized but
unreserved.  Upon  approval of the  Amendment  by a majority of the  outstanding
shares of common stock,  the Company will file the Amendment with the California
Secretary of State.

                             WRITTEN CONSENT ACTION

         On November 24, 1999, the Company issued 7,828,745 shares of restricted
common stock (the "Restricted Shares") to each of Mr. Andrew Pascal and Mr. Paul
Mathews under the Company's 1999 Long-Term  Compensation  Plan (the  "Management
Incentive  Plan").  Upon  issuance  of the  Restricted  Shares Mr.  Pascal  held
approximately  8,045,410  shares of common stock or  approximately  26.6% of the
outstanding  common stock of the Company as of the Record Date,  and Mr. Mathews
held  approximately  7,878,744 shares of common stock or approximately  26.1% of
the outstanding common stock of the Company as of the Record Date. Collectively,
Messrs. Pascal and Mathews hold approximately  15,924,154 shares of common stock
or approximately  52.7% of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of the
Record Date.  Messrs.  Pascal and Mathews each paid for the Restricted Shares by
issuing a non-recourse  promissory note to the Company for the fair market value
of the shares on the date of issuance,  as  determined by the board of directors
of the Company. Messrs. Pascal and Mathews each pledged the Restricted Shares as
collateral  against  the  payment of the  promissory  notes.  Mr.  Pascal is the
current  President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is a member of
the board of directors of the Company. Mr. Mathews is the current Vice President
of Business Development and Government Affairs of the Company.

         The Company  expects that Messrs.  Matthews and Pascal will, by written
consent action, approve the Amendment on or about January 5, 2000.

             INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

         As key  employees  of the  Company,  Messrs.  Pascal  and  Mathews  are
eligible  to  receive  additional  grants  or  issuances  under  the  Management
Incentive  Plan  subsequent  to the  Amendment.  In addition,  several other key
employees, officers, members of management and current directors are eligible to
receive grants or issuances  under the Management  Incentive Plan  subsequent to
the Amendment.

                                  RESTRUCTURING

         On November 24, 1999, the Company  completed a financial  restructuring
with the holders of $47.25 million in aggregate  principal amount of outstanding
10% Senior  Discount Noes (the "Senior  Discount  Notes").  The Senior  Discount
Notes were held  entirely by B III Capital  Partners,  LP ("B III").  The Senior
Discount Notes were previously issued in two separate transactions. On September
30, 1997 the Company  issued $30 million in  aggregate  principal  amount of the
Senior Discount Notes to B III pursuant to a Securities Purchase  Agreement.  On
July 8, 1998, the Company issued $17.25 million in aggregate principal amount of
the Senior Discount Notes to B III pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Securities
Purchase Agreement.

         On July 1, 1999, the Company  announced  today that it did not make the
scheduled  July 1, 1999 interest  payment on its $47.25  million of  outstanding
Senior  Discount  Notes.  Under  the terms of the  Senior  Discount  Notes,  the
nonpayment of interest  became an Event of Default after 15 business  days.  The
Company also announced on July 1, 1999 that it did not currently  intend to make
the  scheduled  interest  payment,  and that it was in  negotiations  with B III
regarding a consensual  restructuring,  possibly  including a conversion  of the
Notes into equity or other securities. As a result of those negotiations,  B III
agreed to exchange  $39.75 million in aggregate  principal  amount of the Senior
Discount  Notes,  and to  amend  the  terms of the  remaining  $7.5  million  in
aggregate  principal amount of Senior Discount Notes (the "Amended  Notes"),  in
exchange for a substantial  portion of the equity of the Company.  In addition B
III agreed to waive all  accrued  interest  on the $39.75  million in  aggregate
principal amount of Senior Discount Notes being exchanged in the  Restructuring,
and to waive all interest on the remaining  $7.5 million in aggregate  principal
amount of Senior  Discount  Notes that had accrued  through July 15,  1999.  The
amount of interest waived was  approximately  $7.6 million.  The Senior Discount
Notes  represented  nearly all of the outstanding  long-term debt obligations of
the  Company.  The board of directors  believed  that the exchange of the Senior
Discount  Notes for equity in the Company  would  greatly  benefit the financial
viability of the Company by reducing the Company's debt service obligations.

         In connection  with the  Restructuring  the Company:  (1) issued 39,750
shares of Series D Convertible  Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred  Stock") as
well as warrants  (the "Series E  Warrants")  to purchase  60,807.731  shares of
Series E Convertible  Preferred  Stock ("Series E Preferred  Stock") in exchange
for the  cancellation  of $39.75  million in aggregate  principal  amount of the
Senior Discount Notes and interest  accrued  thereon;  (2) amended the terms and
provisions  of  the  $7.5  million  of  Senior   Discount  Notes  that  remained
outstanding;  (3) adopted the Silicon Gaming,  Inc. 1999 Long Term  Compensation
Plan pursuant to which equity-based  incentives will be issued to management and
employees  (the  "Management  Incentive  Plan");  and (4)  issued $2  million in
aggregate  principal  amount of 13% Senior  Secured Notes (the "New Notes") to B
III in consideration for $2 million in immediately available funds.

                                       3
<PAGE>
         In addition,  as soon as practicable  the Company intends to conduct an
exchange  offer with  shareholders  of record as of November 24,  1999,  whereby
participating  shareholders  will have the opportunity to exchange each share of
common stock they hold for a unit  consisting of one share of common stock and a
warrant (the "Old Equity  Warrant")  to purchase  3.59662  additional  shares of
common stock for each share of common stock held. Alternatively, the Company may
distribute the Old Equity  Warrants to shareholders of record as of November 24,
1999.  The  maximum  number  of  Old  Equity  Warrants  to be  issued  would  be
54,985,667.  The Old Equity  Warrants,  in the  aggregate,  may be exercised for
54,985,667 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock underlying the Old
Equity Warrants to be issued would represent up to, in the aggregate, 15% of the
total outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of November
24, 1999,  excluding the Old Equity Warrants.  The number of Old Equity Warrants
actually issued, if any, will depend upon the method of distribution.

         The 39,750  shares of Series D Preferred  Stock issued to B III are, in
the  aggregate,   convertible  into  174,285,127  shares  of  common  stock,  or
approximately  57%  of  the  outstanding  common  stock  of  the  Company  on  a
fully-diluted  basis  as of the  closing  of the  Restructuring.  The  Series  E
Warrants  issued  to B III  may  be  exercised  for,  in  the  aggregate,  up to
60,807.731  shares of Series E Preferred Stock,  which is convertible into up to
60,807,731 shares of common stock. The Series E Warrants are exercisable only to
the extent that Old Equity Warrants are actually  exercised.  The purpose of the
issuance of the Series E Warrants was to protect the percentage  interest of the
equity  held by B III in the form of the  Series D  Preferred  Stock  from being
diluted by the exercise of the Old Equity Warrants.  The terms and provisions of
the  Series D  Preferred  Stock,  the  Series E  Preferred  Stock,  the Series E
Warrants  and the Old  Equity  Warrants  are more  fully set forth  below in the
sections  entitled  "Series D  Preferred  Stock",  "Series E  Preferred  Stock",
"Series E Warrants" and "Old Equity Warrants".

         The board of directors of the Company approved the issuance of up to $5
million  in  aggregate  principal  amount  of New Notes in  connection  with the
Restructuring. On November 24, 1999, $2 million in aggregate principal amount of
New Notes was issued to B III in  exchange  for $2 million in readily  available
funds.  The New Notes mature five years from the date of  issuance.  Interest on
the New Notes is payable  monthly in advance and accrues at the rate of 10% cash
interest  and 3% in-kind  interest.  The New Notes may be  redeemed  at any time
prior to maturity for an amount that results in a 25% internal rate of return to
the holders.  The Company and its  subsidiaries  granted a security  interest in
certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and any proceeds thereof, to
B III as collateral for payment of the obligations  under the New Notes. The New
Notes are considered senior secured debt.

         The agreements  under which the Amended Notes, New Notes and the Series
D Preferred Stock were issued,  and in the case of the Series E Preferred Stock,
will be issued,  contain various restrictions.  Because of those restriction the
Company may be restricted from issuing  securities or debt obligations senior to
the New Notes,  the Amended Notes,  the Series D Preferred Stock or the Series E
Preferred Stock,  without the prior written consent of a majority of the holders
of each of those instruments.

                                       4

         CAPITAL  STOCK OF THE  COMPANY  FOLLOWING  THE  AMENDMENT.  The current
number of  authorized  shares of common stock is  inadequate  to provide for the
possible conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock
into common stock,  the exercise of the Old Equity  Warrants and issuances under
the Management  Incentive  Plan. In order to effectuate the  Restructuring,  the
number of authorized  shares of common stock of the Company must be increased to
allow for the  potential  conversion of the Series D Preferred  Stock,  Series E
Preferred  Stock,  exercise of the Old Equity  Warrants and issuances  under the
Management  Incentive Plan. The Amendment,  if approved and  subsequently  filed
with the Secretary of State of California,  will adequately  increase the number
of  authorized  shares of common stock to provide for the  foregoing  issuances.
Issuances of common  stock upon  conversion  of the Series D Preferred  Stock or
Series E Preferred Stock, upon exercise of the Old Equity Warrants, or under the
Management  Incentive Plan could have a substantial  dilutive  effect on current
shareholders

         If all shares of Series D Preferred  Stock and Series E Preferred Stock
were converted into common stock, and all shares under the Management  Incentive
Plan were issued,  and all Old Equity  Warrants were issued and  converted,  the
total  outstanding  number  of shares of  common  stock  would be  approximately
421,556,777.  Subsequent to the  Amendment,  174,285,127  shares of common stock
will be reserved for issuance upon  conversion of the Series D Preferred  Stock,
60,807,731  shares of common stock will be reserved for issuance upon conversion
of the  Series E  Preferred  Stock,  54,985,667  shares of common  stock will be
reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Old Equity Warrants,  and 100,532,594
shares of common  stock  will be  reserved  for  issuance  under the  Management
Incentive  Plan. On November 24, 1999, the Company issued  15,657,490  shares of
common stock under the Management Incentive Plan.

         Subsequent  to the  Amendment,  the  Company  will  have  approximately
328,443,223  shares of authorized but unissued and  unreserved  shares of common
stock. In addition,  the Company will have approximately  6,783,915.3 authorized
but unissued and unreserved  shares of preferred stock.  Authorized but unissued
common stock of the Company may be issued for such consideration as the board of
directors  determines  to be  adequate.  Issuance of common stock by the Company
could have a dilutive effect on certain  shareholders.  Shareholders  may or may
not be given the  opportunity to vote thereon,  depending upon the nature of any
such  transactions,  applicable  law,  the rules and  policies  of the  national
securities exchange on which the common stock of the Company is then trading, if
any, and the judgment of the board of directors. Shareholders have no preemptive
rights to subscribe  for newly issued  shares of the  Company's  capital  stock.
Having a substantial  number of authorized and unreserved shares of common stock
and  preferred  stock  could have the effect of making it more  difficult  for a
third  party to  acquire  a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting  stock of the
Company.  Management could use the additional shares or resist a takeover effort
even if the  terms of the  takeover  offer  are  favored  by a  majority  of the
independent  shareholders.  This  could  delay,  defer,  or  prevent a change in
control.

         Other than the common  stock  reserved for the exercise of warrants and
options outstanding prior to the closing of the Restructuring,  the common stock
to be reserved  subsequent to the  Amendment for the  conversion of the Series D
Preferred  Stock,  the Series E Preferred  Stock, the exercise of the Old Equity
Warrants and issuances  under the Management  Incentive Plan, the Company has no

                                       5
<PAGE>
present  plans,  understandings,  agreements,  or  arrangements  concerning  the
issuance of additional common stock.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that
the Company will not issue, or agree to issue, additional shares of common stock
in the future.

         The Company has authorized for issuance  6,884,473  shares of preferred
stock,  of which,  39,750  shares  are  outstanding  in the form of the Series D
Preferred Stock and 60,807.731 are reserved for issuance in the form of Series E
Preferred Stock upon exercise of the Series E Warrants.  The board of directors,
without  the  approval  of  shareholders,   may  fix  the  rates,   preferences,
privileges,  and restrictions,  including voting rights, of the preferred stock,
which  typically  are  senior to the rights of the  common  stock.  Furthermore,
holders of preferred  stock may have other rights,  including  economic  rights,
senior to the  common  stock.  Having a  substantial  number of  authorized  and
unreserved  shares of  preferred  stock  could have the effect of making it more
difficult  for a third  party to acquire a majority  of the  outstanding  voting
stock of the Company.  Management  could use the  additional  shares to resist a
takeover  effort  even if the  terms of the  takeover  offer  are  favored  by a
majority of the independent shareholders.  This could delay, defer, or prevent a
change in control.

         Other than the preferred  stock reserved for the exercise of the Series
E Warrants,  the Company has no present plans,  understandings,  agreements,  or
arrangements concerning the issuance of additional preferred stock. There can be
no  assurance,  however,  that the  Company  will not issue,  or agree to issue,
additional preferred stock in the future.

         The  Company  believes  that the  proposed  increase  in the  number of
authorized  common  stock as  contemplated  by the  Amendment  will  benefit the
Company by allowing it to effectuate the  Restructuring  and that such Amendment
is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

         MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN. The Company currently intends to present the
Management  Incentive  Plan for approval by the  Company's  shareholders  at the
Company's  next annual  shareholders  meeting.  The Company may, and intends to,
sell or grant shares of common stock and options to purchase  common stock under
the  Management  Incentive  Plan prior to  approval by the  shareholders  of the
Company.

         SERIES D PREFERRED  STOCK.  The  rights,  preferences,  privileges  and
limitations  of the Series D Preferred  Stock are set forth in a Certificate  of
Determination filed with the Secretary of State of California as of November 24,
1999. The Series D Preferred Stock have rights to receive dividends when, as and
if declared by the board of  directors.  Dividends  may not be paid on any other
capital stock junior to the Series D Preferred  Stock prior to an equal dividend
payment to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock. Currently, the Series A1
Preferred Stock,  Series B1 Preferred Stock, common stock and Series E Preferred
Stock are all considered  junior to the Series D Preferred  Stock;  however,  at
this time there are no outstanding shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock or Series
B1 Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of
common stock at a conversion rate of  4,384.53149701  shares of common stock for
each share of Series D  Preferred  Stock.  The holders of the Series D Preferred
Stock are not required to pay any additional  consideration  in order to convert
their shares into shares of common stock.

                                       6
<PAGE>
         The Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference to the common
stock  and the  Series E  Preferred  Stock.  Prior to the  effectiveness  of the
Amendment,  in the event of a  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding  up of the
Company,  each share of Series D  Preferred  Stock is entitled to receive out of
the assets of the Company  available for  distribution the greater of $1,000 per
share or the value it would  receive if it were  converted  into  common  stock.
Subsequent  to the  Amendment,  in the event of a  liquidation,  dissolution  or
winding up of the Company, each share of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to
receive  out of the  assets of the  Company  available  for  distribution,  on a
pro-rata  basis,  100% of any  proceeds up to the first $20 million in aggregate
amount, and a formula-based  percentage of any proceeds in excess of $20 million
in aggregate  amount the remainder of which would be available for  distribution
to the holders of the  Company's  capital stock junior to the Series D Preferred
Stock.

         The Series D  Preferred  Stock may be  redeemed  by the  Company at any
time.  In the  event of a Change of  Control  (as that  term is  defined  in the
Certificate of  Determination  for the Series D Preferred  Stock), a majority of
the outstanding  holders of the Series D Preferred Stock may require the Company
to  redeem  the  shares.  The  shares  may be  redeemed  at the  greater  of the
liquidation  preference  stated  above,  or the fair market  value of the common
stock into which the shares of Series D Preferred Stock could then be converted.
If the holders of the Series D Preferred  Stock  exercise their right to require
the Company to redeem their shares of Series D Preferred  Stock upon a Change of
Control the redemption  price is the greater of the  liquidation  preference set
forth above or the fair market  value of the common  stock into which the shares
of Series D Preferred Stock could then be converted. No sinking fund is required
for the redemption of the Series D Preferred  Stock. The holders of the Series D
Preferred  Stock are not  required to convert  their shares into common stock in
order to receive the benefit of the liquidation  preference or a redemption upon
a Change of Control.  There is no restriction on the repurchase or redemption of
Series D Preferred  Stock by the Company  while  there is any  arrearage  in the
payment of dividends.

         The Series D Preferred Stock are non-voting  securities of the Company.
However, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock will have the right to vote
the number of shares of common stock into which all of such  holders'  shares of
Series D Preferred Stock are  convertible,  as a class with the other holders of
common  stock,  but 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 such holder has complied with any filing  requirements  prerequisite to such
holders'  conversion  of all of the shares of Series D  Preferred  Stock held by
such  holder.  The  Company  is  subject  to the  gaming  laws  and  the  gaming
authorities of the various  jurisdictions in which it operates.  The gaming laws
and the gaming  authorities of those  jurisdictions  generally  require a gaming
license,  a finding of  suitability,  or some form of approval for any one party
who  holds a large  percentage  of the  outstanding  voting  stock  of a  gaming
company.  B III does not currently  hold a gaming  license in any state in which
the  Company  is  subject  to gaming  laws,  nor has it  received  a finding  of
suitability or other approval in any of those jurisdictions. It is the Company's
belief that B III has no current intention to seek any such license,  finding of
suitability,  or  other  approval  in any  jurisdiction  in  which  the  Company
operates.  There  can be no  assurance,  however,  that B III or any  subsequent
holder of the Series D Preferred  Stock will not seek such  license,  finding of
suitability, or other approval in the future.

         The Series D  Preferred  Stock  does not have  preemptive  rights.  The
Series D Preferred Stock, as issued to B III, is fully paid and  non-assessable.
The Series D Preferred  Stock is not  registered and is considered a "restricted
security" as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the  Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Series D Preferred Stock may not be transferred unless it has first
been registered  under  applicable  securities laws or there exists an exemption
from registration for such transfer.

         So long as at least  100  shares  of Series D  Preferred  Stock  remain
outstanding,  the Company, without the prior written consent of the then holders
of a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares  of  Series D  Preferred  Stock,  is
restricted from, among other actions:

        (1) issuing any dividends on its outstanding securities;

        (2) issuing any capital stock or debt with a preference to or pari passu
            with the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock, the
            Amended Notes or the New Notes;

        (3) issuing  any  additional  capital  stock  other than  capital  stock
            contemplated by the Restructuring; or

        (4) merging or consolidating with any other entity, or entering into any
            transaction which would constitute or have the effect of a change of
            control.

         These restrictions could delay, defer, or prevent a change in control.

         SERIES E  WARRANTS.  The  Series  E  Warrants  issued  to B III are not
immediately  exercisable upon issuance. The Series E Warrants become immediately
exercisable  solely  upon  and  to the  extent  of the  exercise  of Old  Equity
Warrants.  The Series E Warrants,  or portions thereof that become  exercisable,
may be exercised for up to 180 days following the date they become  exercisable,
after which time, if not exercised, they terminate;  provided,  however, that if
the portion of the Series E Warrant that becomes  exercisable  is for fewer than
100  shares of Series E  Preferred  Stock,  it will  remain  exercisable  for an
additional 180 days before it  terminates.  No Series E Warrant may be exercised
after the earlier of (i) the close of business on the 180th day after the fourth
anniversary  of its issue date,  or (ii) the date that the warrant is exercised.
The Series E Warrants are, in the aggregate,  exercisable for 60,807.731  shares
of Series E  Preferred  Stock.  The only Series E Warrants  outstanding  are the
60,807.731 Series E Warrants issued to B III as a part of the Restructuring. The
Series E Warrants are  exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The
warrant  exercise price is not subject to adjustment.  There can be no assurance
that the Series E Warrants  will be exercised in whole or in part,  at any time,
or from time to time.

         SERIES E PREFERRED  STOCK.  The  rights,  preferences,  privileges  and
limitations  of the Series E Preferred  Stock are set forth in a Certificate  of
Determination filed with the Secretary of State of California as of November 24,
1999. The Series E Preferred Stock have rights to receive dividends when, as and
if declared by the board of  directors.  Dividends  may not be paid on any other

                                       8
<PAGE>
capital stock junior to the Series E Preferred  Stock prior to an equal dividend
payment to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock. Currently, the Series A1
Preferred  Stock,  Series  B1  Preferred  Stock,  and the  common  stock are all
considered  junior to the Series E Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock
is  considered  senior to the Series E Preferred  Stock;  however,  at this time
there  are no  outstanding  shares of  Series  A1  Preferred  Stock or Series B1
Preferred  Stock.  The Series E Preferred  Stock may be converted into shares of
common stock at a conversion rate of 1,000 shares of common stock for each share
of Series E Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are not
required to pay any  additional  consideration  in order to convert their shares
into shares of common stock.

         The Series E  Preferred  Stock may be  redeemed  by the  Company at any
time.  In the  event of a Change of  Control  (as such  term is  defined  in the
Certificate of  Determination  for the Series E Preferred  Stock), a majority of
the outstanding  holders of the Series E Preferred Stock may require the Company
to redeem the shares.  No sinking  fund is required  for the  redemption  of the
Series  E  Preferred  Stock.  There  is no  restriction  on  the  repurchase  or
redemption  of  Series E  Preferred  Stock  by the  Company  while  there is any
arrearage  in the payment of  dividends.  The Series E Preferred  Stock does not
have a liquidation preference to the common stock.

         The Series E Preferred Stock are non-voting  securities of the Company.
However, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will have the right to vote
the number of shares of common stock into which all of such  holders'  shares of
Series E Preferred Stock are  convertible,  as a class with the other holders of
common  stock,  but 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 such holder has complied with any filing  requirements  prerequisite to such
holders'  conversion  of all of the shares of Series E  Preferred  Stock held by
such  holder.  The  Company  is  subject  to the  gaming  laws  and  the  gaming
authorities of the various  jurisdictions in which it operates.  The gaming laws
and the gaming  authorities of those  jurisdictions  generally  require a gaming
license,  a finding of  suitability,  or some form of approval for any one party
who  holds a large  percentage  of the  outstanding  voting  stock  of a  gaming
company.  B III does not currently  hold a gaming  license in any state in which
the  Company  is  subject  to gaming  laws,  nor has it  received  a finding  of
suitability or other approval in any of those jurisdictions. It is the Company's
belief that B III has no current intention to seek any such license,  finding of
suitability,  or  other  approval  in any  jurisdiction  in  which  the  Company
operates.  There  can be no  assurance,  however,  that B III or any  subsequent
holder of the Series E Preferred  Stock will not seek such  license,  finding of
suitability, or other approval in the future.

         The Series E  Preferred  Stock  does not have  preemptive  rights.  The
Series E Preferred  Stock,  if and when issued to B III in  accordance  with the
terms  and  provisions  of the  Series  E  Warrants,  will  be  fully  paid  and
non-assessable. The Series E Preferred Stock is not registered and is considered
a  "restricted  security" as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the  Securities
Act of 1933,  as amended.  The Series E Preferred  Stock may not be  transferred
unless they have first been registered under applicable securities laws or there
exists an exemption from registration for such transfer.

         OLD EQUITY WARRANTS.  It is currently  anticipated that each Old Equity
Warrant would be exercisable for 3.59662  additional shares of common stock. The
exercise  price of the Old Equity  Warrants  would be  $0.1528  per  shares.  In
addition,  the Old Equity  Warrants  would only be  exercisable  after the first
anniversary of issuance and would terminate four years from their  issuance.  If
the share  price of the  Company's  common  stock,  as  reported  on the  Nasdaq
National Market or a national securities exchange, exceeds $0.2346 per share for
twenty  consecutive  trading days, the holders of the Old Equity  Warrants would
have 180 days to exercise  the Old Equity  Warrants or they would  automatically
expire.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company  will  distribute  the Old
Equity  Warrants on a timely  basis,  if at all. Nor can there be any  assurance
that the terms set forth  above are  indicative  of the terms of the Old  Equity
Warrants, as and when issued. (See "Restructuring" above).

                             OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

         The following  table sets forth as of November 15, 1999 the  beneficial

(1)  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the Rule 13d-3 of the
     Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  In  computing  the number of shares
     beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person,
     shares of common stock  subject to options or warrants  held by that person
     that are currently  exercisable or will become  exercisable  within 60 days
     after November 15, 1999, are deemed outstanding; such shares are not deemed
     outstanding  for  purposes of computing  percentage  ownership of any other
     person.  In general,  options  granted under the 1994 Stock Option Plan are
     fully exercisable from the date of grant, subject to the Company's right to
     repurchase  any  unvested  shares  at  the  original  exercise  price  upon
     termination of employment. The information set forth in this table does not
     include shares  beneficially  owned or  outstanding  shares of common stock
     issuable upon  conversion  of Nonvoting  Redeemable  Convertible  Preferred
     Stock (the "Nonvoting Preferred"),  which is convertible only upon 75 days'
     prior notice to the Company.  Unless  otherwise  indicated in the footnotes
     below,  the  persons and  entities  named in the table have sole voting and
     investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned,  subject to
     community property laws where applicable.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         This discussion  includes a number of forward-looking  statements which

performance.  These forward-looking  statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, including those referred to in the risk factors section below and

on Form  10-K,  that  could  cause  actual  results  to differ  materially  from
historical  results  or  those  anticipated.   In  this  discussion,  the  words
"anticipates," "believes," "expects," intends," "future" and similar expressions
identify  forward-looking  statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance  on these  forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as f the date
hereof.

         The  following  discussion  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
unaudited  consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto included in this
Information  Statement and the audited  consolidated  financial  statements  and
notes thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         OVERVIEW.   Silicon   Gaming,   Inc.   ("SGI"  or  the  "Company")  was
incorporated  on July 27, 1993 to design,  develop,  manufacture  and distribute
interactive gaming devices that implement advanced multimedia technologies using
state-of-the-art,   off-  the-shelf  components.   In  March  1997  the  Company
introduced  its first  product,  Odyssey(TM),  a  multi-game,  video-based  slot
machine,  into the  Nevada  market.  In 1998 the  Company  introduced  Quest,  a
single-game  platform that utilizes many of the same  components as the Odyssey,
to  increase  its  penetration  of the casino  floor.  In July 1999 the  Company
introduced its first slant-top  product into the Nevada market.  The Company has
since  rolled  out  Odyssey  and  Quest  into  other   jurisdictions   including
Connecticut,   Indiana,  Iowa,  Louisiana,  Michigan,  Minnesota,   Mississippi,
Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, certain Canadian provinces and Uruguay.

         The Company's products feature  high-resolution  video presented across
the full surface of a large touchscreen  display. The games feature high-quality
animation,  video  clips,  digital  sound  and a  level  of  visual  appeal  and
interactivity   that  the  Company  believes  is  unattainable  by  the  current
generation  of  slot  machines.  The  Company  is  attempting  to  maximize  the
entertainment  value offered on the video screen by providing multiple levels of
achievement  within certain games so that, through successful play over a period
of time,  a  player  may  advance  to a  bonusing  sequence  and win  additional
jackpots.  SGI believes that by utilizing  these features and by introducing new
game  types,  it will  encourage  longer  and more  frequent  periods of play by
existing slot machine customers and attract new gaming customers who are seeking
greater  entertainment value than that offered by the current generation of slot
machines.  The Company has designed its machines  with a number of unique player
features,  such as play stoppage  entertainment(TM).  In addition, the product's
modular   components  and  Machine   Management   System(TM)   software  provide
easy-to-use  diagnostics  designed to minimize player  inconvenience and machine
down time. The Company currently offers several products including  Odyssey(TM),
a  multi-game  machine  that  can  play up to six  different  games  on the same
machine, and Quest, a single-game machine.

                                       13
<PAGE>
         In  December   1998,  the  Company   introduced  its  first   wide-area
progressive product, The Big Win. Under a wide-area progressive system, numerous
slot machines are linked by computer  networks and share a common top award that
is usually  much greater than the award that a single,  unlinked  machine  could
support.  The network links machines in different  casinos,  and can be extended
from its current  installed base in Las Vegas to include other locations  across
Nevada.  The Company receives a predetermined  percentage of the amounts wagered
on these  machines  as  revenue  and is  responsible  for  payment of the game's
progressive jackpot prizes.

         Through September 30, 1999, the Company has installed 3,698 Odyssey and
Quest machines in approximately 185 properties throughout Connecticut,  Indiana,
Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey,
New Mexico,  certain Canadian  provinces and Uruguay.  Of these machines,  3,415
have been sold outright or placed on a revenue-sharing basis. After returns, 283
machines remain installed on a trial basis and the casino operators are required
to purchase the machine  outright,  participate in SGI's revenue sharing plan or
return the machine to the Company within a defined trial period. Included in the
Company's  revenue  and  installed  base at  September  30, 1999 are 31 machines
connected to the wide-area  progressive  system.  The Company began reinstalling
machines on its wide-area progressive system in early July.

         At  September  30,  1999  the  Company  had  cash  and  equivalents  of
$1,102,000.  The Company has incurred operating losses each year since inception
and as of September 30, 1999 had an  accumulated  deficit of  $97,489,000  and a
deficiency of shareholders' equity of $35,029,000. The Company has been required
to  obtain  additional  financing  each  year to be able  to  fund  its  ongoing
operations.  Based on historical  levels of cash usage,  the above factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

         In the  fourth  quarter  of 1998 the  Company  took steps to reduce the
level of operating  expenses  and made a number of  management  decisions  which
resulted in a reduction of the  Company's  work force by  approximately  20% and
cuts in  expenditures  across the  Company.  The Company  continued  to evaluate
further  possible  ways to reduce  operating  expenses  through  outsourcing  of
different  parts of its business and further  downsizing  of its  workforce.  In
March 1999 management  reduced the size of the Company's  workforce by a further
35%  and  made  additional  cuts  to its  operating  expenses.  Management  also
announced  the  relocation  of its  manufacturing  operations  to its Las Vegas,
Nevada facility and the closure of its Mountain View,  California  manufacturing
facility.  The  Company  has been able to  significantly  reduce  its  operating
expenses and the level of cash required for operating  activities as a result of
the above  actions.  The amount of cash used in operations  was $324,000 for the
current quarter  compared to $506,000 in the second quarter of 1999,  $1,838,000
recorded in the first quarter of 1999 and $5,356,000  used in the fourth quarter
of 1998.

         In November 1999, the Company  announced that it had modified the terms
of the  non-binding  letter of intent  for the  restructuring  of certain of its
long- term obligations  previously announced in July, 1999. The Restructuring is
discussed more fully above under "Restructuring." Management continues to review
financing  alternatives  available to the Company such as  additional  equity or
debt offerings,  joint ventures,  alternative distribution channels, and sale of
all or a portion  of the  Company's  assets to  further  improve  the  Company's

                                       14
<PAGE>
liquidity  position.  Management  believes  that if the Company is successful in
completing  these  steps  and in  satisfactorily  resolving  its  financing  and
strategic alternatives, along with sales related to new product introductions it
will  provide  sufficient  cash and working  capital for the Company to meet its
ongoing  obligations  and to  allow it to continue  operating as a going concern
for at least the next twelve months.

         Silicon Gaming is headquartered in Palo Alto,  California and has sales
offices  in Reno  and Las  Vegas,  Nevada,  and in  Gulfport,  Mississippi.  The
Company's  products are now manufactured at the Company's location in Las Vegas,
Nevada. At September 30, 1999 the Company had 87 employees.

         REVENUE.  The Company  generates  revenue from the sale of its products
and related parts and accessories. All products are sold with licensed software,
and customers have the choice of either a paid-up or renewable  annual  license.
The Company places products in casinos under a participation  program whereby it
receives  20% of the net win  generated  by the product as revenue.  The Company
also  places  machines  in casinos  that are linked to a  wide-area  progressive
system in exchange for a predetermined  share of the gross amount wagered on the
machine.  Amounts  received  from the  participation  program  and the wide area
progressive system are recorded as participation  revenues.  Total revenue units
includes   machines  sold  outright  as  well  as  machines   placed  under  the
participation programs.

         The Company generated revenues as follows:

         Revenue for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999 was  $1,999,000,  a
decrease of $2,990,000,  or 60%, from $4,989,000 for the quarter ended September
30,  1998.  This also  represents  a decrease of  $3,728,000,  or 65%,  from the
$5,727,000  recorded in the three-month period ended June 30, 1999. The decrease
in sales  compared  to the prior year and  previous  period is  attributable  to
customer  concerns  regarding  the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern,  and the deferral of product purchases until the Company could complete
its proposed debt restructuring.  These concerns were exacerbated by the loss of
the majority of the Company's sales force during 1999.  Although the Company has
rebuilt  its  sales  team  during  the  current   quarter,   this  has  not  yet
significantly  impacted  sales due to the need to offer  evaluation  periods  to
customers for new product purchases. The average selling price on hardware sales

                                       15
<PAGE>
decreased to $9,845 in the quarter ended  September 30, 1999 compared to $10,070
in the quarter  ended  September  30,  1998,  reflecting  a much higher level of
competition in the industry and a resulting  higher level of discounts  given to
strategic  corporate  customers  compared to the prior year  period,  plus lower
selling prices due to the Company  selling used  equipment to certain  customers
during 1999.

         The decrease in software  revenues for the three months ended September
30, 1999 of  $401,000,  or 47%,  compared to the same period in 1998 is a direct
result  of the  lower  number  of  units  sold  outright  in the  current  year.
Participation revenues decreased by $208,000, or 25%, compared to the comparable
period  in 1998  due  largely  to a  reduction  in the  number  of  machines  on
participation  programs  as  customers  have  either  purchased  those  machines
outright or returned them to the Company.

         Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $13,387,000, a
decrease of  $3,889,000,  or 23%,  from  $17,276,000  for the nine months  ended
September  30, 1998.  For the nine month period ended  September  30, 1999 total
software sales decreased by $174,000, or 5%, compared to the same period in 1998
reflecting the lower level of machines sales compared to the prior period. Total
participation  revenues decreased by $770,000,  or 30%, due to the reductions in
the number of machines on participation as the Company has converted these units
to sales or were returned to the Company by its customers.

         During the  three-month  period ended  September 30, 1999, one customer
accounted for 23% of revenue. In the three-month period ended September 30, 1998
one different  customer  represented  40% of revenue.  For the nine month period
ended  September  30, 1999 one  customer  represented  16% of revenue and in the
nine-months  ended  September 30, 1998 two customers  represented 12% and 11% of
revenue,  respectively.  The Company  expects that a significant  portion of its
revenues will remain consolidated within a limited number of strategic customers
within the gaming  industry due to the increasing  consolidation  that is taking
place among casino operators. As an equipment vendor to the gaming industry, the
Company  sells  infrequently  to many  customers  and the volume of sales to any
particular  customer may vary  significantly from period to period. As a result,
there can be no assurance  that the above  strategic  customers will continue to
account for a significant percentage of the Company's revenue in the future. The
loss of any strategic customer would adversely affect the Company's business and
results of operations.

         COST OF SALES. Cost of sales includes the direct costs of product sales
as well as the unabsorbed costs of the Company's manufacturing operations.  Cost
of sales  also  includes  license  fees  and  royalties  paid to third  parties,
depreciation  on machines  placed on the  participation  programs as well as the
costs  directly  associated  with  running the  wide-area  progressive  systems,
including  payment of jackpot awards.  Cost of sales was  $1,329,000,  or 66% of
revenue, as compared to $8,553,000,  or 171% of revenue,  for the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Cost of sales was $8,513,000, or 64%
of revenue, as compared to $17,579,000,  or 102% of revenue, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         The relative  decrease in cost of sales as a percentage  of revenue for
the three and  nine-month  periods  ended  September  30,  1999  compared to the
comparable prior-year periods reflect the lower level of manufacturing  overhead
as a result of the closure of the Company's California manufacturing facility in

                                       16
<PAGE>
May 1999 and the  relocation  of all  manufacturing  to the Company's Las Vegas,
Nevada  facility.  These  benefits  are  partially  offset by higher fixed costs
associated with the participation machines and the wide-area progressive system,
as well as the effects of lower average  selling  prices of product  compared to
the prior year period.  Cost of sales for the three and nine-month periods ended
September  30,  1998  included  a $2.2  million  charge for  royalty  expense in
connection with a patent infringement litigation settlement with a competitor of
the Company, and a $3.3 million charge for inventory write-downs.

         The Company  has been able to realize a decrease  in  per-unit  product
costs as a result of reductions in the cost of materials and buying  quantities,
as well as redesigns from tooling certain hardware components, although the high
levels of  inventory  that the  Company  has  maintained  for the last year have
mitigated  the  effects  of such  lower  product  costs.  The  Company  does not
anticipate  that this rate of cost reduction will continue into future  periods,
although management is currently investigating further outsourcing possibilities
that may help to contain future product costs.  The Company  believes that as it
introduces more unique, fully integrated specialty products,  per-unit costs may
actually increase in future periods.

         Gross  margins  are  expected  to  remain  volatile  due the  product's
sensitivity  to volume  levels.  The  Company  has yet to  commence  full  scale
manufacturing  of its  product  in its Las  Vegas  facility  due to its  current
inventory position, and commencement of such activities may adversely affect the
Company's  gross  margin  if  any  difficulties  are  encountered.   Anticipated
manufacturing  expenses are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  See
"Factors Affecting Future ResultsManagement of Changing Business."

         RESEARCH AND  DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development  ("R&D")  expenses
include  payroll and related  costs of employees  engaged in ongoing  design and
development  activities of the Company,  costs paid to outside  contractors  and
specialists,   prototype   development  expenses,   overhead  costs,   equipment
depreciation and costs of supplies.  To date, the Company has expensed all costs
associated  with the  research,  design  and  development  of its  product.  R&D
expenses were $1,191,000,  or 60% of revenue, as compared to $3,193,000,  or 64%
of revenue,  for the quarters ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.
R&D expenses were $5,023,000,  or 38% of revenue, as compared to $8,748,000,  or
51% of  revenue  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999  and  1998,
respectively.

         The decreases in R&D expenses are largely the result of lower personnel
costs as a result of the Company's  reductions in its workforce and lower use of
outside  engineering  consultants,  offset  partially by higher license fees and
similar costs associated with the acquisition of outside technologies. Since the
comparable periods in 1998, the focus of the Company's R&D activities  continues
to emphasize new game  development,  the introduction of new product  platforms,
and the  introduction  of new  game  types,  such as the  wide-area  progressive
system. The Company is focussed on offering  additional  features in its product
that will fully  utilize the  underlying  technology  used.  This is expected to
require an increased  investment in R&D activities in future periods,  including
additional  personnel,  to continue  the  development  of the  existing  product
platforms and new platforms to facilitate the elaborate requirements of the game
development process.

         SELLING,    GENERAL   AND   ADMINISTRATIVE.    Selling,   general   and
administrative   ("SG&A")   expenses  include  payroll  and  related  costs  for
administrative and executive personnel, sales and customer- support organization
personnel,   marketing  and  licensing  personnel,  overhead  costs,  legal  and
associated  costs,  costs associated with obtaining and retaining  corporate and
product licenses in various  jurisdictions  and fees for professional  services.
Approximately  50% of SG&A  expenses are headcount  related.  SG&A expenses were
$2,484,000,  or 124% of revenue,  as compared to $6,224,000,  or 125% of revenue
for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  SG&A expenses
were  $7,969,000,  or 60% of  revenue,  as compared  to  $14,097,000,  or 82% of
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         The  decrease  in  SG&A   expenses   over  these   periods  is  largely
attributable  to the  reduction  in  personnel  and  associated  costs  from the
reductions in the Company's  workforce,  offset by higher costs  associated with
applying for corporate and product licenses as the Company began selling product
into new  jurisdictions.  The 1998  expenses also included $1.3 million in costs
associated with the severance of prior management and  compensation  expense for
options  granted to new management,  and $0.9 million in allowances  relating to
one customer receivable.  SG&A expenses were also affected during 1999 by higher
legal costs  associated  with  patent  infringement  disputes  and due to higher
product  licensing  costs as the  Company has  increased  the number of new game
types and platforms for which it is currently  seeking  approval.  SG&A expenses
are expected to increase in absolute dollars as the Company invests in increased
sales  and  marketing-related  activities  and in  administrative  personnel  to
support its infrastructure. Interest Income and Expense

         Net interest expense was $1,975,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1999, as compared to $1,721,000  for the quarter ended  September 30, 1998.  Net
interest expense was $5,824,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to $3,747,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Included in
these totals was interest  income of $13,000 and $200,000 for the quarter  ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $88,000 and $527,000 for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  Changes in interest
income over these periods are directly attributable fluctuations in the level of
average cash and investment balances that the Company holds. The timing of share
offerings,  issuance  of Senior  Discount  Notes,  and the rate of  spending  on
operations have impacted the average level of cash and investments.

         Interest  expense was  $1,988,000 and $1,921,000 for the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $5,912,000 and $4,274,000 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The increases in
interest  expense over these periods are due to increases in the Company's level
of long-term  indebtedness  over the periods.  The Company raised $25 million in
September,  1997 from the issuance of Senior  Discount  Notes (the "1997 Notes")
and  raised  an  additional  $15  million  in July  1998  from the  issuance  of
additional  Senior  Discount Notes (the "1998  Notes").  The Company also raised
approximately $3.6 million from equipment  financing  borrowing during 1998. The
substantial  increase  in  interest  expense in 1999  compared to the prior year
periods  reflects the interest costs associated with the 1998 Notes, the related
issuance  and  repricing  of stock  warrants  and the  equipment  financing.  As
discussed  above under  "Restructuring",  $39.75 million in aggregate  principal
amount of Senior Discount Notes were exchanged for capital stock of the Company,

                                       18
<PAGE>
the terms and  provisions of the remaining  $7.5 million in aggregate  principal
amount of Senior  Discount  Notes were revised,  and an additional $2 million in
New Notes were issued.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company has not been required to pay income taxes due
to its net operating losses in each period since  inception.  As of December 31,
1998,  the  Company  had  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of  approximately
$69,100,000   and  $35,800,000  for  federal  and  state  income  tax  purposes,
respectively.  These loss  carryforwards will expire beginning in the year 2000,
if not  utilized.  As of December  31,  1998,  the  Company  also has R&D credit
carryforwards  of  approximately  $815,000  and  $720,000  for federal and state
purposes, respectively, which expire beginning 2010.

         A valuation allowance has been recorded for any deferred tax assets due
to  uncertainties  regarding the realization of these assets  resulting from the
lack of  earnings  history  of the  Company.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the
California Act of 1987 impose  restrictions  on the utilization of net operating
loss and tax  credit  carryforwards  in the event of an  "ownership  change"  as
defined by the Internal  Revenue Code. The Company's  ability to utilize its net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is subject to limitation pursuant to
these  restrictions.  As of March 31,  1998,  approximately  $4  million  of the
Company's net operating loss  carryforwards  was subject to such  limitation and
this  limitation  is dependent on the  Company's  future  profitability  and the
utilization of its net operating loss  carryforwards over a period of time.  The
Company  anticipates further restriction or loss of all or a significant portion
of its net  operating  loss  carryforwards  as a result  of the  Rrestructuring,
although the amount of such restriction or loss cannot  accurately be determined
at this time.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL  RESOURCES.  Cash and equivalents were $1,102,000
as of September 30, 1999,  compared to  $8,399,000 as of December 31, 1998.  The
decrease  in cash in the  current  period of  $7,297,000  is due to losses  from
ongoing  operations  that the Company has incurred  and due to the  repayment of
$3,456,000  against the Company's  bank line of credit during 1999.  The Company
has incurred  operating losses each year since inception and as of September 30,
1999 had an accumulated deficit of $97,489,000 and a deficiency of shareholders'
equity of  $35,029,000.  The  Company  has been  required  to obtain  additional
financing  each  year to be  able  to fund  its  ongoing  operations.  Based  on
historical levels of cash usage, the above factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

         In the  fourth  quarter  of 1998 the  Company  took steps to reduce the
level of operating  expenses  and made a number of  management  decisions  which
resulted in a reduction of the  Company's  work force by  approximately  20% and
cuts in  expenditures  across the  Company.  The Company  continued  to evaluate
further  possible  ways to reduce  operating  expenses  through  outsourcing  of
different  parts of its business and further  downsizing  of its  workforce.  In
March 1999 management  reduced the size of the Company's  workforce by a further
35%  and  made  additional  cuts  to its  operating  expenses.  Management  also

                                       19
<PAGE>
announced the relocation of its manufacturing to its Las Vegas,  Nevada facility
and the closure of its Mountain View,  California  manufacturing  facility.  The
Company has been able to  significantly  reduce its level of operating  expenses
and cash required for operating activities as a result of the above actions. The
amount of cash used in operations was $324,000 for the current quarter  compared
to  $506,000  in the second  quarter of 1999,  $1,838,000  recorded in the first
quarter of 1999 and $5,356,000 used in the fourth quarter of 1998.

         In November 1999, the Company  announced that it had modified the terms
of the  non-binding  letter of intent  for the  restructuring  of certain of its
long- term obligations  previously announced in July, 1999. The Restructuring is
discussed above under "Restructuring." Management continues to review additional
financing  alternatives  available to the Company such as  additional  equity or
debt offerings,  joint ventures,  alternative distribution channels, and sale of
all or a portion  of the  Company's  assets to  further  improve  the  Company's
liquidity  position.  Management  believes  that if the Company is successful in
completing  these  steps  and in  satisfactorily  resolving  its  financing  and
strategic  alternatives,  including  timely  completion  of the proposed  Senior
Discount Note conversion  already  announced,  with sales related to new product
introductions,  it will  provide  sufficient  cash and  working  capital for the
Company to meet its ongoing  obligations [and to allow it to continue  operating
as a going concern for at least the next twelve months.]

         The Company's net cash used in operating  activities was $2,668,000 and
$26,164,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The decrease in cash used in operating  activities reflects the higher amount of
non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, accretion of debt discount
and accrued  interest,  the non-cash  restructuring  related charges recorded in
March 1999, and a significant  reduction in cash used for working  capital.  The
Company was able to reduce its  investments  in  receivables  and  inventory and
increase  its level of  payables as it has  improved  its asset  management  and
focussed  on  converting  existing  assets  into cash to improve  its  liquidity
situation. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company decreased
its  investment  in  receivables  and  inventory by  $4,995,000,  compared to an
increase of $12,328,000, in these items in the prior year period.

         Net cash used in investing  activities was $304,000 for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1999  as  compared  to net  cash  provided  by  investing
activities  of  $2,065,000  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998.  The
change was primarily  due to in the net cash provided by the purchase,  sale and
maturity of  short-term  investments  as the Company's  available  cash balances
decreased, offset by reductions in the acquisition of fixed assets and decreases
in other assets.

         Net cash used in financing activities was $4,325,000 for the six months
ended  September  30,  1999  as  compared  to net  cash  provided  by  financing
activities of  $20,170,000  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998.  The
decrease is related to the timing of  additional  borrowings in the 1998 period.
In 1998 the Company  received  proceeds  from the  issuance  of Senior  Discount
Notes,  term loans and the sale of common stock,  but received no new borrowings
in the current period. In 1999 the Company made repayments against its bank line
of credit, capital lease and term loan obligations.

         YEAR  2000  ISSUES.  The  following  section  represents  a  Year  2000
readiness  disclosure.  The  inability  of computers  and  software  programs to
recognize  and  properly  process  data fields  containing  a two-digit  year is
commonly  known as the  Year  2000  issue.  As the year  2000  approaches,  such
computer  systems  may  be  unable  to  accurately  process  certain  date-based
information.  This could result in system  failures or  miscalculations  causing
disruption of operations including, among other things, a temporary inability to
process  transactions,  send  invoices  or engage  in  similar  normal  business
activities.

         During  1997 the  Company  implemented  an  enterprise-wide  management
information   system  which  supports  all  of  the  Company's   major  business
applications   including   sales  and  customer   service,   manufacturing   and
distribution,  and finance and  accounting.  Management has determined  that the
Year 2000 issue will not pose significant  operational problems for its computer
systems.  As a result, any costs attributable to the purchase and implementation
of new software will be  capitalized  and any other costs incurred in connection
with Year 2000 compliance will be expensed as incurred.

         During 1998 the Company  established a Year 2000  management  committee
comprised of senior  management to provide  leadership and direction to the Year
2000 effort throughout the Company. The Committee is using a multi-step approach
in managing the Year 2000  project.  The major steps include an inventory of all
major systems and devices with potential Year 2000 problems,  assigning priority
to  identified  items,  assessing  the Year 2000  compliance of all items deemed
material to the  Company,  repairing or  replacing  material  items that are not
deemed to be Year 2000  compliant,  testing  material  items,  and designing and
implementing  contingency  and  business  continuation  plans.  The  Company has
completed the inventory of its critical systems, made an assessment of Year 2000
compliance  and has  identified  all systems to be upgraded  and  replaced.  The
Company  commenced the upgrading  and  replacing of certain  systems  during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 and continued these activities  through the current
quarter.  Due to vendor scheduling  limitations,  the Company does not expect to
have all such upgrades and  replacements  completed  until  November,  1999. The
Company  continues to communicate with the suppliers and customers with which it
has  material  contracts  to  determine  the  extent  to which  the  Company  is
vulnerable  to those  third  parties  failure to  remediate  their own Year 2000
issues.  The Company cannot  accurately  predict the outcome of other companies'
remediation  efforts.  The Company utilizes  third-party  vendors for processing
data such as payroll, 401(k) administration and medical benefits processing. The
Company is in the process of communicating to determine the status of

         Year 2000 readiness of all of these  vendors.  Should these vendors not
be Year 2000 ready in a timely  manner,  the  Company may be required to process
transactions  manually or delay  processing until such time the vendors are Year
2000  compliant.  No  contingency  plan has yet been  developed,  however  it is
expected that contingency plans could be developed, if needed, on short notice.

         A number of the  Company's  customers  have  contacted  the  Company to
determine if the  Company's  products are Year 2000  compliant.  The Company has
tested its products and believes that the products will  correctly  process data
such that the Year 2000 issue will not affect  the  operation  of its  products.
However,  because the Company's  product must run on third party slot management

                                       21
<PAGE>
and tracking systems, there is still a risk that the Company's products will not
work properly with such third party software.  This risk is exacerbated  because
the  Company's  products  continue to display date fields as a two-digit  rather
than a four-digit field, even though internally all date-dependent  computations
correctly  utilize a four-digit  field.  The Company has developed a solution to
this display  problem and is upgrading  its installed  base as  necessary.  As a
result,  it does not anticipate any significant  problem with its products being
Year 2000 compliant.  There can still be no guarantee that the Company's product
will be able to run with third party software after December 31, 1999 however.

         The  total  cost   associated   with   required   product  and  systems
modifications  to become Year 2000  compliant  is not expected to be material to
the  Company's  financial  position.  The Company spent  approximately  $450,000
during  1998 in  getting  its  major  business  systems  upgraded  and Year 2000
compliant.  The Company  plans on using both  internal  and  external  resources
during the  remainder  of 1999 to  continue  to replace  and test  hardware  and
software for Year 2000  compliance.  Currently  the Company does not  anticipate
spending  more than $200,000 in  connection  with its Year 2000 projects  during
1999.  The majority of this will be spent on the purchase of new or  replacement
hardware  and  software  and  upgrades,  and on updating  software  code for its
products,  and this will be funded from  operations.  The anticipated  costs and
scope of the Year 2000 project are based on  management's  best estimates  using
information  currently  available and numerous  assumptions about future events.
However,  there can be no guarantee  that these  estimates  will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from these plans.

         The failure to correct a material  Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption   in,  or  failure  of,  certain  normal  business   activities  or
operations.  Such failures could  materially and adversely  affect the Company's
results of  operations,  liquidity and financial  condition.  Due to the general
uncertainty  inherent  in the Year  2000  problem,  resulting  in part  from the
uncertainty of the Year 2000  readiness of third-party  suppliers and customers,
the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year
2000  failures  will  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  results  of
operations,  liquidity or financial condition. The Year 2000 project is expected
to reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem, and in
particular, about the Year 2000 compliance and readiness of its products.

         The Company currently obtains a significant  amount of its revenue from
relatively  few  customers.  There can be no assurance  that the Year 2000 issue
will not pose significant  problems for the computer systems of these customers,
which  could in turn affect the  customers'  ability to  purchase  machines  and
generate revenue for the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance revenue
generated  for the  Company  will not be  affected  by the Year 2000 issues that
these  customers  might have.  The Company cannot predict the nature of any such
changes or their impact on the Company.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

         MANAGEMENT  OF  CHANGING  BUSINESS.  The  Company is  currently  in the
process of shifting its business strategy from one of high-volume  manufacturing
and  placement of slot  machines  with a goal of capturing  market  share,  to a
strategy that  emphasizes the quality and feature content of new game titles and
takes advantage of custom game and revenue-sharing opportunities.  It will offer
product  extensions and  variations of successful  existing  games,  however the

                                       22
<PAGE>
emphasis  will shift from  volume-based  to one of  providing  a unique,  fully-
integrated gaming  experience.  The Company has also relocated its manufacturing
operations from California to Nevada.  This transition  represents a significant
challenge for the Company and its management and employees, and places increased
demand on its systems  and  controls.  The Company has not yet been  required to
commence  full-scale  manufacturing  in  Nevada  due  to  its  excess  inventory
position.  The Company's  ability to manage this change in strategy will require
the  Company  to  continue  to  change,  expand  and  improve  its  operational,
management  and  financial  systems and  controls to manage any  outsourcing  or
relocation of existing activities. Some of the keys to effecting this change are
the continued  ability of the Company to sell its existing  inventory of Odyssey
and Quest products in a timely manner,  and to resolve  outstanding  collections
issues with customers in order to provide sufficient working capital during this
transition  process.  If the Company is not able to generate adequate funds from
its  working  capital  in a timely  manner or able to  successfully  manage  the
relocation of its manufacturing  activities,  the Company's business,  operating
results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

         LIQUIDITY.  The Company  has funded its  operations  to date  primarily
through private and public offerings of its equity  securities,  the issuance of
Senior Discount Notes,  term and equipment  loans and from bank  borrowings.  At
September 30, 1999 the Company had an accumulated  deficit of $97,489,000  and a
deficiency of  shareholders'  equity of  $35,029,000.  On November 24, 1999, the
Company completed the Restructuring (see "Restructuring" above). Under the terms
of the Restructuring, $39.75 million of the Senior Discount Notes were converted
into  shares of Series D Preferred  Stock and the Series E Warrant.  The Company
had  previously  announced  that it would  not make the  scheduled  July 1, 1999
interest  payment on the Senior  Discount  Notes,  and under the  Restructuring,
accrued  and unpaid  interest  on the Senior  Discount  Notes  would be forgiven
through July 15, 1999. The amount of accrued and unpaid  interest to be forgiven
is approximately $7.6 million.  Under the  Restructuring,  the Company will also
receive additional funding of up to $5 million in new convertible senior secured
notes,  $2 million of which was  received on November 24,  1999.  Management  is
continuing to review financing  alternatives  available to the Company,  such as
additional equity or debt offerings,  joint ventures,  alternative  distribution
channels,  conversion  of some or all of its debt to equity and sale of all or a
portion of the Company's assets. If the plans that management have undertaken to
improve the Company's  liquidity  position are not  successfully  completed in a
timely manner it is probable that  insufficient  funds will exist to satisfy the
Company's  operating  requirements.   The  Company  will  be  required  to  make
adjustments to its operating  activities to operate within the  restrictions  of
its liquidity and this could adversely affect the Company's business,  operating
results and financial condition. To the extent that the Company sells additional
shares or issues any convertible debt securities,  or converts any existing debt
into equity, this could result in additional dilution to existing  shareholders.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete
the restructuring or be able to raise additional funds when and if needed.

         VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.  The market price of the Company's stock has
been subject to large fluctuations. The Company's stock price may be affected by
factors such as actual or unanticipated fluctuations in the Company's results of
operations,  new product or technical introductions by the Company or any of its
competitors,  developments  with respect to patents,  copyrights or  proprietary

                                       23
<PAGE>
rights,  conditions or trends in the gaming  industry,  changes in or failure by
the Company to meet securities analysts' expectations, general market conditions
and other factors.  The Company's stock now trades on the Over The Counter (OTC)
Bulletin  board.  This is likely to reduce the level of trading  activity in the
Company's  stock,  result in higher  bid/ask  spreads,  and increase the cost of
raising additional equity for the Company. The Company's stock price is expected
to  be  adversely  affected  due  to  the  announced   restructuring   that,  if
consummated,  would result in a significant reallocation of the Company's equity
ownership.

         RETENTION OF PERSONNEL. The operations of the Company depend to a great
extent on the management efforts of its officers and other key personnel, and on
the ability to attract new key personnel and retain existing key personnel.  The
Company  experienced high turnover among its senior management during the second
half of 1998 and in the  first  half of  1999.  The  Company  also  reduced  its
workforce by  approximately  20% in December  1998 and by an  additional  35% in
March 1999.  Subsequent to these  reductions,  the Company has continued to lose
additional employees,  particularly in its sales and engineering  organizations.
These factors,  combined with the Company's poor operating results,  its current
liquidity  situation and the significant  decrease in the price of the Company's
Common Stock, may have an adverse affect on the Company's  ability to retain and
motivate its key employees.  Competition  is intense for highly skilled  product
development employees in particular. In addition, the Company's officers and key
employees are not bound by non- competition  agreements that extend beyond their
employment at the Company, and there can be no assurance that employees will not
leave the  Company or compete  against the  Company.  The  Company's  failure to
attract additional qualified employees or to retain its existing employees could
have a material adverse affect on the Company's  operating results and financial
condition.  Should the  Company  offer  additional  stock  option  grants to its
existing  employees  to  encourage  them to  continue  their  employment  at the
Company, this may result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

         CUSTOMER  RETENTION.  The  Company's  ability to sell  product has been
hampered due to the current  financial  position of the Company  which  presents
risks to customers  that the Company may not be able to fulfill its  obligations
under license agreements or be available to provide warranty,  repair or upgrade
services  on  products  that it has already  sold.  The Company has  experienced
negative  reaction  from  customers who have had these views during 1999 and who
have indicated that they may not purchase additional product from the Company or
who have deferred  purchase  decisions until the  uncertainties  surrounding the
Company's liquidity position has been resolved.  This had a material impact upon
the  Company's  sales during the  three-month  period ended  September 30, 1999.
Certain of the Company's  competitors who have  significantly  greater financial
and marketing  resources  than the Company are also trying to take  advantage of
the Company's financial position. To the extent that this results in the loss of
any  of the  Company's  strategic  customers  or  results  in a  loss  of  sales
opportunities, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition
may be adversely affected.

         INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY  RIGHTS.  The  Company  regards  its  product as
proprietary  and  relies  primarily  on  a  combination  of  patent,  trademark,
copyright  and trade  secret laws and  employee  and  third-party  nondisclosure
agreements to protect its proprietary rights.  Defense of intellectual  property
rights can be costly,  and there can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be
able to effectively protect its technology from misappropriation by competitors.

                                       24

         As the number of software products in the gaming industry increases and
the  functionality of these products further overlaps,  software  developers and
publishers  or  competitors  may  increasingly  become  subject to  infringement
claims.  The Company may also become  subject to  infringement  claims,  with or
without merit,  that are brought by competitors  who are motivated with a desire
to disrupt  the  Company's  business.  The  Company  has been  involved in three
intellectual property disputes since September,  1998. The Company has been able
to negotiate a settlement to two of these disputes and is undergoing preliminary
discovery  with respect to the most recent  dispute.  The September 1998 dispute
resulted in the Company  entering into a license and royalty  agreement with the
competitor and incurring an expense of $2,200,000.  The second dispute, in March
1999, resulted in the Company entering into a cross- licensing  arrangement with
the same competitor so that the Company was able to continue selling its product
and resulted in a favorable  adjustment to income of  approximately  $500,000 in
the second  quarter of 1999.  The  Company  was  notified in November of another
potential patent  infringement  dispute which names the Company and three of its
competitors for an alleged patent  infringement.  There can be no assurance that
similar  claims will not arise in the future or that the Company will be able to
successfully  negotiate  a  settlement  to  such  claims.  Any  such  claims  or
litigation  that  may  arise  can  be  costly  and  result  in  a  diversion  of
management's  attention,  which could have a material  adverse on the  Company's
business  and  financial  condition.  Any  settlement  of such claims or adverse
determinations  in such litigation  could also have a material adverse affect on
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

         CHANGING  LEGISLATIVE  ENVIRONMENT.  In May 1999 the Nevada Legislature
passed   legislation  that  negatively  impacts  the  ability  of  slot  machine
manufacturers  to derive  profit from  machines  that it has on a  participation
basis in customer casinos.  The legislation requires slot manufacturers to pay a
proportionate share of state gaming taxes related to their share of revenue from
the  participation   products.   This  will  reduce  the  profitability  of  the
participation  machines to the  manufacturers.  This legislation may require the
Company to review its  business  strategy of placing  its premium  products on a
participation  basis with casino operators and require it to end its practice of
placing  machines  in  casinos  and  sharing  in the net  win  with  the  casino
operators.  Adoption of similar  legislation  in additional  jurisdictions  that
attempt to restrict or prohibit  slot  machine  manufacturers  from  receiving a
percentage of profits or revenues from a gaming machine placed on a casino floor
may have a  material  adverse  impact  upon the  Company's  business,  operating
results and financial condition.

         The opening of new casinos,  including  casinos in jurisdictions  where
gaming has recently been legalized, historically has driven growth for demand in
slot  machines.  However,  in recent years,  the  legalization  of gaming in new
jurisdictions has been  significantly  reduced;  therefore,  demand based on new
openings will be largely  limited to new projects in existing  markets.  Certain
markets that  currently  permit gaming are  contemplating  legislation to limit,
reduce or eliminate  gaming.  If successful such legislation  could limit growth
opportunities  for the Company.  As a result of these  factors,  there can be no
assurance  that the slot machine market will sustain the rate of growth that was
possible in the first half of this decade.

                                       25

         RAPIDLY CHANGING  TECHNOLOGY.  The Company's  products utilize hardware
components  that have been  developed  primarily  for the personal  computer and
multimedia industries. These industries are characterized by rapid technological
change and product enhancements. The Company's ability to remain competitive and
retain any technological lead may depend in part upon its ability to continually
develop new slot machine  games that take full  advantage  of the  technological
possibilities  of  state-of-the-art  hardware.  Should any current or  potential
competitor  of the Company  succeed in  developing  a  competing  software-based
gaming  platform,  such a competitor  could be in a position to  outperform  the
Company in its ability to exploit developments in microprocessor, video or other
multimedia  technology.  The  emergence of a suite of slot machine games that is
superior  to the  Company's  in any respect  could  substantially  diminish  the
Company's  product sales and thereby  adversely  affect the Company's  operating
results.

         DEPENDENCE ON SINGLE-SOURCE  SUPPLIERS. The Company currently obtains a
number of its systems components from single-source suppliers. In particular the
touchscreen  and picture tube that  comprise  the video  display are supplied by
MircoTouch Systems,  Inc. and Philips Display Components Company,  respectively.
The Company does not have long-term  supply  contracts with these  suppliers but
rather obtains these  components on a purchase order basis.  Although the design
of these  components is not unique or proprietary and the Company  believes that
it could identify  alternative sources of supply, if necessary,  there can be no
assurance that the Company would be able to procure,  substitute or produce such
components  without a significant  interruption  in its assembly  process in the
event that these single  sources were unable to supply  these  components.  Even
where the Company has multiple sources of supply for a component,  industry-wide
component  shortages,  such as those that have  occurred  with various  computer
components, could significantly delay productivity,  increase costs or both. The
Company is also considering exclusive outsourcing  arrangements whereby a single
third party contract  manufacturer will assemble all or a significant portion of
new products that the Company is planning to introduce.  The failure or delay by
any  supplier to furnish the Company with the  required  components  or products
would adversely affect the Company's  business,  financial condition and results
of operations.

         MARKET  RISK.  The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes
in interest  rates and equity  security  price risk.  The Company  does not have
derivative  financial  instruments  for  speculative  or trading  purposes.  The
Company has fixed rate long-term debt of approximately $9.5 million  outstanding
as at November 24, 1999 and a hypothetical  ten percent  increase or decrease in
interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair market value of this
debt.  The fair value of the Company's  Senior  Discount Notes may be lower than
the recorded value, but the Company is unable to estimate the fair value at this
time. Silicon Gaming, Inc. does not hedge any interest rate exposures.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet as of September 30, 1999,
the  consolidated  statements of operations  for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the  consolidated  statements of cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, are unaudited. In the opinion
of management,  these financial  statements have been prepared on the same basis
as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only
of  normal   recurring   adjustments  and  accruals,   necessary  for  the  fair
presentation  of the financial  position and operating  results as of such dates
and for such periods.  The unaudited  information  should be read in conjunction
with the audited  consolidated  financial  statements  of Silicon  Gaming,  Inc.
("Silicon  Gaming" or the  "Company")  and the notes  thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1998  included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared
assuming  that the Company  will  continue as a going  concern.  The Company has
incurred  operating  losses every year since its  inception and at September 30,
1999 had an accumulated deficit of $97,489,000 and a shareholders' deficiency of
$35,029,000.  The Company has been required to obtain additional financing every
year to be able to fund its ongoing  operations.  As of  September  30, 1999 the
Company's cash and equivalents had decreased to $1,102,000.  Based on historical
levels of cash  usage,  the above  factors  raise  substantial  doubt  about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

         In the  fourth  quarter  of 1998 the  Company  took steps to reduce the
level of operating  expenses  and made a number of  management  decisions  which
resulted in a reduction of the Company's workforce by approximately 20% and cuts
in expenditures  across the Company.  The Company  continued to evaluate further
possible ways to reduce  operating  expenses  through  outsourcing  of different
parts of its business and further  downsizing of its  workforce.  In March 1999,
management reduced the size of the Company's  workforce by an additional 35% and
made additional cuts to operating  expenses.  Management also announced in March
1999 the  relocation of its  manufacturing  operations to its Las Vegas,  Nevada
facility  and  the  closure  of  its  Mountain  View,  California  manufacturing
facility.  The  Company  has been  able to  significantly  reduce  its  level of
operating expenses and cash required for operating activities as a result of the
above  actions.  The  amount of cash used in  operations  was  $324,000  for the
current  quarter  compared  to  $506,000  used in the  second  quarter  of 1999,
$1,838,000  used in the first quarter of 1999 and $5,356,000  used in the fourth
quarter of 1998.

         In November 1999, the Company  announced that it had modified the terms
of the  non-binding  letter of intent  with the  holders of the Senior  Discount
Notes (the Notes) that it had previously  announced in July,  1999 regarding the
restructuring  of the Notes.  Under the new terms of the  restructuring,  $39.75
million  principal  obligation  of the Notes  would be  exchanged  for shares of
convertible  preferred stock that are convertible  into a 57% equity interest in
the Company.  The terms of the remaining  balance of the 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,  subject to certain  coverage ratio tests,  for the five years following
the effective  date of the  restructuring,  at which time the notes will mature.
Pursuant  to the  restructuring,  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  on  the  Notes
remaining outstanding following the restructuring would be forgiven through July
15, 1999. The amount of interest to be forgiven is approximately $7.6 million.

     Similar to the terms  announced in July, the new terms also  contemplate an
additional  investment  by the  holders  of the Notes of up to $5 million in the
form of e senior secured notes (the "New Notes").  Under the new terms,  the New
Notes would not be  convertible  and would bear  interest at the rate of 13% per
annum,  with 10% payable in cash monthly and 3% payable in kind, with a maturity
of 5 years.  The New Notes will 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. (See Note 7).

                                      A-5
<PAGE>
         Management continues to review financing  alternatives available to the
Company such as additional equity or debt offerings, joint ventures, alternative
distribution  channels,  and sale of all or a portion of the Company's assets to
further improve the Company's  liquidity  position.  Management believes that if
the  Company is  successful  in  completing  these  steps and in  satisfactorily
resolving  its  financing  and  strategic  alternatives   (including  successful
completion  of the  debt  restructuring),  with  sales  related  to new  product
introductions  it will  provide  sufficient  cash and  working  capital  for the
Company to meet its ongoing obligations and to allow it to continue operating as
a  going  concern  for  at  least  the  next  twelve  months.  The  accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements  do not include any  adjustments  that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. NET LOSS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per share excludes  dilution and is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average of common shares  outstanding for the period.
Diluted  earnings per share reflect the  potential  dilution that would occur if
securities or other  contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted
into Common Stock.  Common share equivalents  including stock options,  warrants
and Redeemable  Convertible  Preferred Stock have been excluded from all periods
presented, as their effect would be anti dilutive.

         The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of
the basic and diluted net loss per share  computations  (in thousands except per
share amounts):

4. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         Financial   instruments  which  potentially   subject  the  Company  to
concentrations  of credit risk consist  primarily of cash  equivalents and trade
accounts receivable.  The Company invests only in high credit quality short-term
debt with its surplus funds. The Company performs ongoing credit  evaluations of
its customers' financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when
deemed  necessary but generally  requires no collateral.  The Company  maintains

                                      A-6
<PAGE>
reserves for estimated  potential  credit losses.  As of September 30, 1999, one
customer accounted for 16% of accounts receivable.  As of December 31, 1998, two
different  customers accounted for 16% and 13% of accounts  receivable.  For the
three months ended September 30, 1999, one customer accounted for 23% of revenue
and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, one customer accounted for 16%
of revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 1998 one customer accounted
for 40% of  revenue  and for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  two
different customers accounted for 12% and 11% of revenue, respectively.

5. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

         In June 1999 the Company  entered into a $4 million  secured  revolving
line of credit  agreement based on the Company's  eligible  accounts  receivable
which expires  December 31, 1999.  Borrowings  bear interest at the Bank's prime
rate (8.25% at  September  30,  1999) plus 3.5%.  As of  September  30, 1999 the
Company had $544,000  outstanding under this facility.  This agreement  requires
the Company to maintain a minimum level of  shareholder's  equity (as defined in
the  agreement)  and the  Company was in  compliance  with the  agreement  as of
September 30, 1999.

         Borrowing arrangements consist of the following (in thousands):

         In November 1999, the Company  announced that it had modified the terms
of the  non-binding  letter of intent  with the  holders of the Senior  Discount
Notes, regarding the conversion of $39.75 million principal obligation of Senior
Discount  Notes  into  convertible  preferred  stock  of  the  Company  and  the
forgiveness of accrued and unpaid  interest on the Senior Discount Notes through
July 15, 1999. See Note 7.

6. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

         In March 1999 the Company  announced the closure of its Mountain  View,
California manufacturing facility and the relocation of all of its manufacturing
operations  to its Las  Vegas,  Nevada  facility.  At the same time the  Company
announced a reduction in size of its employee  workforce by  approximately  35%.
The Company  recorded  restructuring  charges of $3,312,000  in the  three-month
period ended March 31, 1999. The restructuring  charges include severance costs,
lease related costs of excess  facilities  and the write down of specific  fixed
assets  associated with these facilities and assets rendered surplus as a result
of the reduction in force.  Details of the restructuring  charges are as follows

         Termination  benefits  were paid to 55 employees  and all benefits were
paid prior to May 31, 1999. The Company anticipates  completion of all remaining
restructuring activities, including disposal of assets, before the end of 1999.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     DEBT RESTRUCTURING

         In November 1999, the Company  announced that it had modified the terms
of the  non-binding  letter of intent  with the  holders of the Senior  Discount
Notes (the Notes) that it had previously  announced in July,  1999 regarding the
restructuring  of the Notes.  Under the new terms of the  restructuring,  $39.75
million  principal  obligation  of the Notes  would be  exchanged  for shares of
convertible  preferred stock that are convertible  into a 57% equity interest in
the Company.  The terms of the remaining  balance of the 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,  subject to certain  coverage ratio tests,  for the five years following
the effective  date of the  restructuring,  at which time the notes will mature.
Pursuant  to the  restructuring,  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  on  the  Notes
remaining outstanding following the restructuring would be forgiven through July
15, 1999.

         Similar to the terms announced in July, the new terms also  contemplate
an additional  investment by the holders of the Notes of up to $5 million in the
form of senior  secured  notes (the "New Notes").  Under the new terms,  the New
Notes would not be  convertible  and would bear  interest at the rate of 13% per
annum,  with 10% payable in cash monthly and 3% payable in kind, with a maturity
of 5 years.  The New Notes will 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 previously contemplated, upon closing of the debt restructuring, the
Board of  Directors  would be reduced  to three  members,  consisting  of Andrew
Pascal, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Robert Reis (a
consultant to the Company) and Stanford Springel.

         In  addition,  current  holders of the common  stock would be given the
right to receive four-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal to,
in the aggregate,  15% of the outstanding  common stock as of the effective date
of the  restructuring  (calculated prior to the issuance of these new warrants).
The exercise price of the warrants will be at a premium to fair market value and
will be  based  on an  enterprise  value  for the  Company  of $70  million.  In
addition,  the warrants would only be exercisable after the first anniversary of
issuance  and  would  terminate  prior  to  their  scheduled  expiration  if the
Company's  enterprise  value,  as measured on the Nasdaq National Market or such
exchange,  exceeds $100 million.  Holders of the warrants would have 180 days to
exercise prior to such termination.

         As a result of the announced transactions,  the percentage ownership of
the Company's current equity holders would be reduced from 100% to approximately
5% of the outstanding  fully-diluted common stock upon the effective date of the
restructuring. The Company would allocate 38% of its equity (calculated prior to
issuance of the out of the money  warrants  described  above)as of the effective
date to be  issued  as  incentive  stock-based  compensation  to  employees.  As
discussed  above,  $39.75  million of  existing  Notes  would be  exchanged  for
preferred stock that is convertible into the remaining 57% (calculated  prior to
issuance  of the out of the money  warrants  described  above) of the  Company's
outstanding common stock as of the effective date of the restructuring.

         The capital  structure of the Company  would change  dramatically  as a
result of the restructuring. Currently there are approximately 20 million shares
of common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted  basis.  After the closing of the
restructuring,  and giving effect to the conversion of preferred stock issued as
part  of  the   restructuring   and  exercise  of  warrants  issued  to  current
stockholders,  the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on a fully
diluted basis would increase to approximately  450 million;  or approximately 22
times the current number of shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis.

                                      A-8
<PAGE>
         The  proposed  restructuring  continues  to be  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 the restructuring will be successfully
implemented or that there will not be further modifications to the restructuring
terms.  The Company  anticipates  closure of the restructure  during the quarter
ended December 31, 1999.

     PATENT LITIGATION

         In November,  1999 the Company received  notification that it, together
with three other gaming machine  manufacturers,  has been sued by  International
Game  Technology  (IGT) in the United States  District Court for the District of
Nevada.  The suit, which has not been served,  alleges  infringement of a patent
issued to IGT on  September  14, 1999  entitled  "Game  Machine and Method Using
Touch  Screen".  While it is too early for the Company to evaluate the merits of
the case and the  affect it will have on the  Company's  business,  the  Company
intends to defend the suit and has retained patent counsel to review the matter,
including the validity of the patent.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BUSINESS--Silicon Gaming, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on July
27,  1993 to develop and market  innovative  gaming  devices  through the use of
advanced multimedia and interactive technologies.

         BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION  -  The  accompanying   consolidated  financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern.  The  Company  has  incurred  operating  losses  every  year  since its
inception and at December 31, 1998 had an accumulated deficit of $80,270,000 and
a  shareholders'  deficiency  of  $18,452,000.  The Company has been required to
obtain  additional  financing  every  year  to  be  able  to  fund  its  ongoing
operations.  As of December 31, 1998 the Company was not in compliance  with the
terms of its line of credit and had overdrawn its credit facility by $1,457,000,
and its cash and  equivalents  had decreased to $8,399,000.  Based on historical
levels of cash  useage,  the above  factors  raise  substantial  doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  In the fourth quarter of 1998
the  Company  took steps to reduce the level of  operating  expenses  and made a
number of management  decisions  which  resulted in a reduction of the Company's
workforce by approximately 20% and cuts in expenditures across the Company.  The
Company continued to evaluate further possible ways to reduce operating expenses
through outsourcing of different parts of its business and further downsizing of
its  workforce.  In March  1999  management  reduced  the size of the  Company's
workforce by an additional 40% and made additional  cuts to operating  expenses.
Management also announced in March 1999 the relocation of its  manufacturing  to
its Las Vegas, Nevada facility and the closure of its Mountain View,  California
manufacturing  facility.  Management is currently  attempting to renegotiate the
terms of its line of credit with its bank so that  additional  funds will become
available to the  Company.  Management  is also  reviewing  financing  and other
strategic alternatives available to the Company such as additional share or debt
offerings, joint ventures,  alternative distribution channels and sale of all or
part of the  Company's  assets to  improve  the  Company's  liquidity  position.
Management believes that these steps, plus sales related to proposed new product
introductions  will provide  sufficient cash and working capital for the Company
to meet its ongoing obligations and to allow it to continue operating as a going
concern  through  at  least  the  end of  1999.  The  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

         CONSOLIDATION--The   consolidated   financial  statements  include  the
Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  after  elimination of  intercompany
accounts and transactions.

         ESTIMATES--The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         CASH   EQUIVALENTS--The   Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  debt
instruments  purchased  with an original  maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

         SHORT-TERM    INVESTMENTS--Short-term    investments   represent   debt
securities which are stated at fair value. The difference between amortized cost
(cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are
recognized as adjustments to interest  income) and fair value  representing  the
unrealized  holding  gains and losses are  recorded as a separate  component  of
shareholders'  equity  until  realized.  Any gains or losses on the sale of debt
securities are determined on a specific identification basis.

         INVESTMENTS   TO  FUND   JACKPOT   WINNERS  -  The  Company   maintains
interest-bearing  deposits  which are  restricted  to meet its  obligations  for
making  payments to jackpot  winners from the  Company's  wide-area  progressive
system.  When a jackpot is won, the Company will use these  proceeds to purchase
investments or annuities to meet its periodic payment obligations, or will offer
the customer funds equivalent to the present value of the jackpot prize.

                                      B-6
<PAGE>
         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS--The  estimated  fair value of the
Company's  financial  instruments,  which include cash  equivalents,  short-term
investments,  and investments to fund jackpot winners approximate their carrying
value.  The fair value of the Company's  Senior Discount Notes may be lower than
the recorded  value but the Company is unable to estimate the fair value at this
time.

         INVENTORIES--Inventories consist of raw materials,  work-in-process and
finished  goods and are  stated  at the  lower of cost or market on a  first-in,
first-out basis.

         PROPERTY  AND  EQUIPMENT--Property  and  equipment  are stated at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the  straight-line  method over
estimated  useful  lives  between  eighteen  months and seven  years.  Leasehold
improvements  are amortized using the  straight-line  method over the shorter of
the lease term or the asset's useful life.  The Company  places gaming  machines
and related  equipment  in customer  locations on its  participation  program or
under its  wide-area  progressive  system and  receives a portion of the net win
from each machine.  Depreciation of units under such arrangements is the greater
of the ratio that current gross revenue bears to total  anticipated  revenue for
such unit or straight-line over three years.  Ancillary gaming equipment such as
signs and chairs are depreciated over an eighteen-month period.

         REVENUE  RECOGNITION--Revenue  from  hardware  units and  non-renewable
software licenses is recognized upon acceptance by the customer after completion
of a trial period, or upon shipment of the hardware. Renewable software licenses
are recognized  ratably over the license  period.  Amounts due the Company under
revenue   participation   plans  with  its  customers  and  from  the  wide-area
progressive  systems are  recognized  ratably  based on the  Company's  share of
gaming machine play.

         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK-- Financial  instruments which potentially
subject the Company to  concentrations  of credit risk consist primarily of cash
equivalents,  short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company
invests  only in high credit  quality  short-term  debt.  The  Company  performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'  financial condition and limits the
amount of credit  extended  when  deemed  necessary  but  generally  requires no
collateral.  The Company  maintains  reserves  for  estimated  potential  credit
losses.  At  December  31,  1998,  two  customers  accounted  for 16% and 13% of
accounts  receivable.  A  significant  portion  of the  Company's  revenues  are
concentrated  with a small  number of  strategic  customers.  For the year ended
December 31, 1998,  two  customers  accounted for 11% and 10% of revenue and the
Company's top 10 customers  represented 67% of revenue.  In 1997 three different
customers accounted for 27%, 12% and 12% of revenue.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT  EXPENSES--Research  and development  expenses
are charged to operations as incurred.  In connection with the Company's product
development efforts, it develops software applications which are integral to the
operation  of the  product.  The costs to develop  such  software  have not been
capitalized as the Company believes its current software  development process is
essentially   completed  concurrent  with  the  establishment  of  technological
feasibility and/or development of the related hardware.

         INCOME TAXES--The  Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  Accounting  for Income
Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial reporting of
income taxes.

         JACKPOT LIABILITIES - Under the Company's wide-area progressive system,
the Company receives a percentage of the amount played on the system to fund the
related jackpot payments. Jackpot liabilities in the amount of the present value
of the jackpot are recorded  concurrently  with the  recognition  of the related
revenue. At December 31, 1998, jackpot liabilities  representing amounts accrued
for jackpots  not yet won that are  contractual  obligations  of the Company are
included in accrued  liabilities.  The Company is required to maintain  cash and
investments relating to wide-area progressive liabilities in separate accounts.

         STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION--The  Company accounts for stock-based awards
to employees  using the  intrinsic  value method in  accordance  with APB No. 25
Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees  ("APB 25").  The Company  adopted the
disclosure  requirements of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No.123,
Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,  ("SFAS  123"),  which  require  the
disclosure  of pro forma net income  and  earnings  per share as if the  Company
adopted the fair value-based method in measuring  compensation expense as of the
beginning of fiscal 1995.

                                      B-7
<PAGE>
         NET LOSS PER  SHARE--  During the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the Company
adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share
("SFAS 128"),  which replaces the previously  reported primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share and requires a dual
presentation  of basic and  diluted  EPS.  Basic EPS  excludes  dilution  and is
computed  by  dividing  net  income by the  weighted  average  of common  shares
outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution that
would  occur  if  securities  or other  contracts  to issue  Common  Stock  were
exercised or converted  into Common Stock.  Common share  equivalents  including
stock options,  warrants and Redeemable  Convertible  Preferred  Stock have been
excluded for all periods presented, as their effect would be antidilutive

         The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of
the basic and diluted net loss per share  computations  (in thousands except per
share amounts):

         RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD-- In the first quarter of 1998, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income",  which  requires  an  enterprise  to  report,  by  major
components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period
from nonowner sources.

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures  about Segments of an
Enterprise  and  Related  Information",  which  establishes  annual and  interim
reporting   standards  for  an  enterprise's   business   segments  and  related
disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas, and major customers.
For the year ended  December  31,  1998,  the Company  operated in one  business
segment.

         In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  133,   "Accounting   for  Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities".  This  statement  requires  companies to record  derivatives on the
balance sheet as assets or liabilities measured at fair value.  Adoption of this
standard  has no impact  upon the  Company's  consolidated  financial  position,
results of operations  or cash flows as the Company does not currently  have any
derivative financial instruments covered by this standard.


         RECLASSIFICATIONS--  Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.

5. LEASES

         The Company leases its facilities under noncancellable  operating lease
agreements.  The accompanying statements of operations reflect rent expense on a
straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of the  leases.  The  difference  between
straight-line  rent  expense  and actual  cash  payments is recorded as deferred
rent.

         On September 30, 1997, the Company  completed the private  placement of
$30 million  principal  obligation  Senior Discount Notes (the "1997 Notes") due
September 30, 2002. In July, 1998 the Company sold an additional  $17.25 million
principal amount to the same investors (the "1998 Notes"). Commencing January 1,
1999 the Notes bear  interest  at 12.5% per annum,  payable  semi-annually.  The
Company is required to redeem $8 million in principal on September 30, 2001. The
Company is permitted to raise additional proceeds from debt or equity securities
of up to $40 million  before  mandatory  redemption of the Notes.  The Notes are
callable  at the option of the Company at any time,  with an initial  redemption
price of 93.13% of the aggregate  amount as of December 31, 1998,  increasing to
100% over 9 months.  In connection  with the  offerings,  purchasers of the 1998
Notes were issued  warrants to purchase  250,000 shares of the Company's  Common
Stock at a per share price of $8.00.  Additionally,  the  exercise  price of the
375,000 warrants issued in connection with the September 1997 $30 million Senior

per-share  price  of  $8.00.  The  value  ascribed  to the  warrants  and to the
repricing of the September 1997 warrants was  $1,466,000.  Gross proceeds to the
Company  before  fees and  expenses  were $25 million in 1997 and $15 million in
1998.  The  resulting  debt  discount  of  $11,798,250  is being  accreted as an
addition to  interest  expense  over the term of the Notes  using the  effective
interest  method.  Offering  costs of $1,945,000 in 1997 and $50,000 in 1998 are
included  in other  assets and are being  amortized  as an  addition to interest
expense over the term of the Notes. The Notes require the Company to comply with
certain  financial  covenants  with which the  Company was in  compliance  as of
December 31, 1998.

         In June 1998,  the Company  entered into a secured  equipment loan with
available credit of up to $3 million.  Borrowings bear interest at 14% per annum
for a term of 42 months.  As of December  31, 1998,  the Company had  $1,562,000
outstanding under this agreement.  The agreement  requires the Company to comply
with certain financial covenants, with which the Company was in compliance as of

STOCK OPTION PLANS

         Under the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Option Plan"),  the Company
may grant  incentive or  nonstatutory  stock  options up to 3,892,655  shares of
Common Stock to  employees,  directors and  consultants  at prices not less than
fair  market  value for  incentive  stock  options and not less than 85% of fair
market value for nonstatutory stock options. These options generally expire five
to ten years from the date of grant.  Options  normally vest at a rate of 25% on
the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/48 per month thereafter and may be
exercised at any time,  subject to the Company's  right to  repurchase  unvested
shares at the original exercise price upon termination.

         In 1996,  the Board of  Directors  adopted the 1996  Outside  Directors
Stock  Option  Plan  (the  "Directors  Plan").  Under  this  plan,  non-employee
directors of the Company are  automatically  granted initial options to purchase
15,000 shares of Common Stock and additional options to purchase 5,000 shares of
Common Stock in each  subsequent year that such person remains a director of the
Company.  Options under the Directors  Plan have an exercise price equal to fair
market  value at the grant date,  vest  ratably  over three years and expire ten
years from the date of grant. The number of shares authorized under this plan is
200,000.

         In 1997,  the Board of Directors  adopted the 1997  Nonstatutory  Stock
Option Plan (the "1997  Option  Plan").  Under this plan,  the Company may grant
nonstatutory stock options for up to 390,000 shares of Common Stock to employees
and  consultants  at  prices  not  less  than  85% of fair  market  value on the
effective date of the grant.  These options  generally expire ten years from the
date of grant and are immediately exercisable.

         The Company repriced  outstanding  options to purchase 1,013,202 shares
to $9.125, the current market price on January 9, 1998. The Company subsequently
repriced  outstanding options to purchase 1,615,505 shares to $4.00, the current
market price on September 11, 1998.  In  connection  with the September 11, 1998
option repricing, employees were restricted from exercising options for a period
of six months from the date of the  repricing.  Otherwise the options retain all
other original  terms.  In addition,  on December 1, 1998, the Company  repriced
75,000  options to the Company's  acting Chief  Executive  Officer from $6.00 to
$1.875.  The fair  value of this  grant  after  repricing  was  estimated  to be
$371,000.  The Company  recorded  compensation  expense of $326,000 in the third
quarter of 1998 in  connection  with  severance  packages  to former  members of
management  of the  Company.  All of the  above  repriced  options  are shown as

         At  December  31,  1998,  674,651,  105,000,  and  123,500  shares were
available for future grants under the 1994 Option Plan, Directors Plan, and 1997
Option Plan  respectively.  At December 31, 1998,  153,547 shares exercised were
subject to repurchase.  As of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  1,826,896 and 835,403
shares  respectively  were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of
$11.27 and $6.35, respectively.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

         In 1996,  the  Board of  Directors  adopted  the  1996  Employee  Stock
Purchase Plan (the "1996 Purchase Plan"). Under the 1996 Purchase Plan, eligible
employees  are  permitted  to purchase  shares of Common  Stock  through  salary
withholding  at a price  equal to 85% of the  lower of the  market  value of the
stock  at the  beginning  of the  24-month  offering  period  or the end of each
six-month purchase period,  subject to certain limitations.  Due to insufficient
shares  remaining  in the 1996  Purchase  Plan,  in 1998 the Board of  Directors
adopted the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1998 Purchase Plan").  Under
the 1998 Purchase Plan,  eligible  employees are permitted to purchase shares of
Common Stock through salary  withholding at a price equal to 85% of the lower of
the  market  value  of the  stock  at the  beginning  or the end of the  6-month
offering period,  subject to certain limitations.  At December 31, 1998, 251,702
shares had been issued under both of the Purchase  Plans and 498,298 shares were
reserved for further issuance. The weighted average fair value of those purchase
rights granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $3.73, $3.52 and $2.66,  respectively.
The Company's  calculations  were made using the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of one year
for all years;  expected interest rate of 5.7%, 6.2% and 5.4% for 1998, 1997 and
1996,  respectively;  expected  volatility of 75% in 1998, 65% in 1997 and 39.2%
subsequent to the initial  public filing in July 1996;  and no dividends  during
the expected term.

ADDITIONAL STOCK PLAN INFORMATION

         As  discussed  in Note 1, the  Company  continues  to  account  for its
stock-based  awards using the intrinsic  value method in accordance with APB No.
25 and its related  interpretations.  Accordingly,  no compensation  expense has
been recognized in the financial statements for employee stock arrangements.

         SFAS 123 requires the  disclosure  of pro forma net income and earnings
per share had the Company  adopted the fair value method as of the  beginning of
fiscal 1995.  Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based  awards to employees
is calculated  through the use of the minimum value method for all periods prior
to the  initial  public  offering,  and  subsequently  through the use of option

                                      B-14
<PAGE>
pricing  models,  even though such models were  developed  to estimate  the fair
value  of  freely   tradable,   fully   transferable   options  without  vesting
restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards.
These models also require subjective  assumptions,  including future stock price
volatility  and expected time to exercise,  which greatly  affect the calculated
values. The Company's stock option  calculations were made using the minimum and
Black-Scholes   option  pricing  models  with  the  following  weighted  average
assumptions:  expected life, 12 months following vesting; stock volatility,  75%
in 1998,  65% in 1997 and 39.2%  subsequent to the initial public filing in July
1996;  risk-free  interest rates,  5.7% in 1998, 6.2% in 1997, and 6.7% in 1996;
and no dividends during the expected term. The Company's  calculations are based
on a multiple option  valuation  approach and forfeitures are recognized as they
occur. If the computed fair values of the stock-based  awards  (including awards
under the Purchase  Plan) had been  amortized to expense over the vesting period
of the awards,  pro forma net loss would have been  $44,673,000  ($3.26 loss per
share) in 1998,  $26,815,000  ($2.51  loss per share) in 1997,  and  $14,345,000
($2.68 loss per share) in 1996.

10. INCOME TAXES

         The  Company  has had losses  since  inception  and  therefore  has not
provided for income taxes.

         Deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the  net  tax  effects  of  temporary
differences  between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting  purposes  and the amounts  used for income tax  purposes,  as well as
operating  loss and tax  credit  carryforwards.  Significant  components  of the
Company's  deferred  income tax assets as of  December  31, 1998 and 1997 are as
follows:

                                                             DECEMBER 31,

         Due to the  uncertainty  surrounding the realization of the benefits of
its  favorable  tax  attributes  in future tax  returns,  the  Company has fully
reserved  its net  deferred  tax  assets  as of  December  31,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.

         At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss  carryforwards
of  approximately  $69,100,000  and $35,800,000 for federal and state income tax
purposes,  respectively.  These  carryforwards  begin to  expire  in  2000.  Net
operating  losses of  approximately  $950,000 for federal and state tax purposes
attributable to the tax benefit  relating to the exercise of nonqualified  stock
options and  disqualifying  dispositions of incentive stock options are excluded
from the components of deferred income tax assets.  The tax benefits  associated
with this net operating loss will be recorded as an adjustment to  shareholders'
equity when the Company generates taxable income.

         The Company also has research and development  credit  carryforwards of
approximately $815,000 and $720,000 available to offset future federal and state
income taxes,  respectively,  as of December 31, 1998. These carryforwards begin
to expire in 2010.

                                      B-15
<PAGE>
         The Tax  Reform  Act of  1986  and the  California  Act of 1987  impose
restrictions   on  the   utilization  of  net  operating  loss  and  tax  credit
carryforwards  in the event of an "ownership  change" as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code.  The Company's  ability to utilize its net operating  loss and tax
credit carryforwards is subject to limitation pursuant to these restrictions. As
of March 31, 1998,  approximately $4 million of the Company's net operating loss
carryforwards  was subject to such  limitation and is dependent on the Company's
future profitability and the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards
over a period of time.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In February,  1999 the Company filed a complaint against  International
Game  Technology,  Inc.  (IGT)  seeking a  declaration  of  noninfringement  and
invalidity of US Patent no. 5,823,873, describing a method of playing electronic
video poker games.  The suit was originally  filed in the United States District
Court  for the  Northern  District  of  California,  as a result  of  threat  of
litigation by IGT. IGT responded by filing a complaint in the District of Nevada
alleging infringement of the same patent. As that case has been transferred from
Reno to be heard in Las Vegas,  the Company  intends to dismiss  the  California
action and pursue its claims  against  IGT in the Las Vegas  case.  On March 16,
1999 the Company was  unsuccessful  in  preventing  IGT from issuing a temporary
restraining  order that prevents the Company from shipping the disputed  product
until the injunction  hearing that has been set for April 15, 1999 in Las Vegas.
If the Company is  unsuccessful  in  preventing  IGT from gaining an  injunction
until the patent trial is heard, the Company will be prevented from shipping the
disputed  product  until such time as the patent trial is  resolved.  Management
believes  that the patent  trial would be at least two to five months  after the
April 15 hearing.  The claims in the  lawsuit  relate to a game that the Company
released in February 1999 called  Multi-Draw  Poker.  The  Company's  management
strongly denies the assertions of  infringement  and in the litigation has asked
the court to rule that its game does not infringe.  The costs of defending  this
suit may be substantial and may require significant amounts of senior management
time, and an adverse result in such  litigation  could  materially and adversely
affect the Company's  liquidity and capital resources.  No adjustments have been
made in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  relating to this
litigation.

         On March 12, 1999 the  Company  announced  the closure of its  Mountain
View  California-based  manufacturing  operations  and  the  relocation  of  its
manufacturing  activities  to its Las Vegas Nevada,  facility.  The Company also
announced the elimination of 66 positions or 40% of the Company's workforce.  In
connection  with the  elimination  of  positions,  the Company  offered  255,000
fully-vested  shares to these employees as part of their severance.  The Company
also has granted additional options to purchase 2,565,000 shares of common stock
to remaining employees and consultants during March, 1999.
