    Re:  Alliance Gaming Corporation
         Senior Secured Notes due 2003

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We are acting as special counsel for Alliance Gaming Corporation, a Nevada
corporation ("Alliance"), in connection with the proposed offering (the
"Offering") of $154,000,000 principal amount of Alliance's Senior Secured Notes
due 2003 (the "Notes").  The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture
(the "Indenture") proposed to be entered into between Alliance and United States
Trust Company of New York, as trustee.  The Notes are to be guaranteed by
certain subsidiaries of Alliance, identified in the Indenture (the "Guarantors")
pursuant to guarantees set forth in the Indenture (the "Guarantees", and
together with the Notes, the "Securities").  In connection with the Offering,
Alliance has filed registration statements on Form S-2 (the "Registration
Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of
registering the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

    We have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of
such corporate records of Alliance and the Guarantors, certificates of public
officials, certificates of officers and representatives of Alliance and the
Guarantors and other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the
opinions hereinafter expressed.  In our examination we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted
to us as copies.  As to various questions of fact material to such opinions we
have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon
certifications by officers of Alliance and the Guarantors and other appropriate
persons and statements contained in the Registration Statement.

    Based on the foregoing, and having regard to legal considerations which we
deem relevant, we are of the opinion that when the Indenture is duly authorized,


<PAGE>

executed and delivered, and when the Securities have been duly authorized,
executed, authenticated and issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture
and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the
underwriting agreement pursuant to which the Securities will be offered, the
Securities will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Alliance or
the Guarantors, as the case may be, entitled to the benefits of, and subject to
the provisions of, the Indenture, and except (a) as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of
general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, and (b)
that such enforceability may be limited by the application of general principles
of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law), including without limitation (i) the possible unavailability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedies and (ii) concepts
of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

    We wish to point out that the obligations of Alliance and the Guarantors,
and the rights and remedies of the trustee, under the Indenture may be subject
to possible limitations upon the exercise of remedial or procedural provisions
contained therein, but such limitations do not in our opinion (but subject to
the foregoing qualifications) make the remedies and procedures that will be
afforded to the trustee inadequate for the practical realization of the
substantive benefits purported to be provided to the trustee by the Indenture.

    We do not express any opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of
any Guarantor (or the enforceability of such obligations) of Section 548 of
chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, or any other
provision of law related to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations.

    We do not express any opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than
the laws of the State of New York and the Federal laws of the United States of
America.

    We hereby consent to the reference to us under the heading "Legal Matters"
in the Prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement and to the
filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement.

                                       Very truly yours,

          Re:  Federal Income Tax Considerations
               Relating to the Senior Secured Notes
               ------------------------------------

Dear Sirs:

          We have acted as counsel to Alliance Gaming Corporation 
("Alliance") in connection with the proposed offering of $154 Million of its 
12 7/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2003, as described in Alliance's 
Registration Statement on Form S-2 (the "Registration Statement"), filed on 
this date with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and any amendments and 
supplements thereto.  We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an 
exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the 
headings "Material Federal Income Tax Consequences To Holders of Senior 
Secured Notes" in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement.

          In rendering our opinion, we have examined and are familiar with
originals or copies, certified or otherwise

                                        2                          June 14, 1996


identified to our satisfaction, of such documents as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below.  In our examination, we
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural
persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified
or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.  As
to any facts material to this opinion that we did not independently establish or
verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other
representatives of Alliance.

          Subject to the assumptions, qualifications and comments in this
letter, we are of the opinion that the statements in the prospectus contained in
the Registration Statement with respect to United States Federal income taxation
under the heading "Material Federal Income Tax Consequences To Holders of
Senior Secured Notes," to the extent they constitute matters of law or legal
conclusions, are correct in all material respects.


                                   Very truly yours,
