                                  COMMON STOCK
 
    All of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby are being offered (together
with up to an  additional 15% subject to  an over-allotment option, the  "Common
Stock  Offering") by  Alliance Gaming  Corporation ("Alliance").  The shares are
being issued  as  part of  the  financing of  the  merger (the  "Merger")  of  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Alliance  with and into  Bally Gaming International,
Inc. ("BGII"), pursuant to which BGII  will become a wholly-owned subsidiary  of
Alliance. See "The Merger and Related Financings" and "Use of Proceeds."
 
    Concurrently  with  the  Common  Stock  Offering,  Alliance  is  issuing (i)
$15,000,000 of its  15% Non-Voting  Junior Pay-in-Kind Special  Stock, Series  B
(together  with up to an additional 15% subject to an over-allotment option, the
"Preferred Stock Offering"  and, together  with the Common  Stock Offering,  the
"Stock Offerings") and (ii) $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior
Secured  Notes  due  2003 (the  "Note  Offering"  and, together  with  the Stock
Offerings, the "Offerings").  In addition, Alliance  previously agreed to  issue
$5,000,000  of its Common Stock  to an institutional investor  in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements of  the Securities Act of 1933,  as
amended  (the "Securities Act"),  which issuance (the  "Private Placement") will
close simultaneously with and be contingent upon the consummation of the  Merger
and  the Offerings. Consummation of the Common  Stock Offering is subject to the
consummation of the Preferred Stock Offering, the Note Offering and the  Private
Placement and is also contingent upon consummation of the Merger.
 
    The  Common Stock is traded  on the NASDAQ National  Market System under the
symbol "ALLY". On April 1,  1996, the closing price of  the Common Stock on  the
NASDAQ National Market System was $4 7/8 per share.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
  BACKGROUND
 
    Alliance  is   a  diversified   gaming  company   that  currently   operates
approximately  6,000 electronic gaming machines  (primarily video poker machines
and slot  machines)  and also  owns  and operates  a  small casino  in  each  of
Vicksburg,  Mississippi and Sparks/Reno, Nevada.  Alliance is the largest gaming
machine management operator  in Nevada and  is the exclusive  operator of  video
poker devices at the only racetrack and ten associated off-track betting parlors
("OTBs") in the greater New Orleans area.
 
    As part of its long-term growth strategy, Alliance entered into an Agreement
and  Plan of  Merger in October  1995, as  amended in January  1996 (the "Merger
Agreement"), with  BGII  pursuant  to  which BGII  will  become  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of Alliance.  BGII, through  subsidiaries in  the United  States and
Germany, is  a  leading designer,  manufacturer  and distributor  of  electronic
gaming  machines. BGII also designs, assembles and sells computerized monitoring
systems for slot and video gaming  machines which provide casino operators  with
on-line real time player tracking, security and maintenance capabilities.
 
    BGII is currently the second largest manufacturer of casino-style electronic
gaming  machines in North America and since 1993 has made significant inroads in
recapturing a portion of its once dominant market share of the late 1970s.  Unit
sales   of  electronic  gaming  machines  by  BGII's  domestic  subsidiary  have
approximately doubled from the level of unit sales in 1993. Although BGII  sells
electronic  gaming  machines to  most of  the major  participants in  the United
States  casino  industry,  the  Company  hopes  to  continue  to  increase   its
penetration   in  such  casinos   by  capitalizing  on   Alliance's  and  BGII's
managements'  relationships  within  the  gaming  industry  together  with   the
performance capabilities of its current products.
 
    Alliance  believes that the  Merger represents an  opportunity to acquire an
established  electronic  gaming  machine  manufacturer  with  a  well-recognized
presence in the gaming industry and a significant base of assets and experience.
Management  estimates that the installed  base of casino-style electronic gaming
machines  (for  these   purposes,  primarily   slot  and   video  machines)   is
approximately  650,000 units,  of which approximately  50% are  located in North
America, and that annual  sales in North America  have grown from  approximately
30,000  units in 1991 to approximately 89,000 units in 1995, reflecting a period
of accelerated  growth in  the number  and  size of  casinos in  North  America.
Historically, growth in the gaming machine market has been principally fueled by
sales  to new casinos and  to a lesser degree  by replacement of machines (which
have an average replacement cycle of  three to seven years) and the  application
of  new technology. In the future,  management believes that annual sales growth
resulting from replacement  requirements and the  application of new  technology
should  outpace growth in demand generated  by new casino openings, which growth
rate is  expected  to decline.  Management  believes that  the  Merger  provides
Alliance  with an avenue  for entering a  business historically characterized by
effective barriers to entry in that the BGII assets being acquired are difficult
to replicate  and  would require  significant  time and  investment  to  develop
successfully.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
    For  the twelve-month period ended  December 31, 1995, on  a pro forma basis
after giving effect to the Merger and the related transactions described herein,
the Company  would  have had  revenues  and  Adjusted Operating  Cash  Flow  (as
defined:   see  the   introduction  to   "Summary  Financial   Information")  of
approximately $401.0 million and $47.3 million, respectively.
 
  BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
    The  Company's  strategic  objective  is  to  build  a  pre-eminent   gaming
entertainment  company to capitalize on what  management believes to be gaming's
continuing growth within the entertainment  industry. In addition to  continuing
the  development  of  the  Company's  existing  business  units,  the  Company's
strategic focus will  be on BGII's  domestic subsidiary, key  elements of  which
include:
 
    - to  capitalize on BGII's strong product line and current sales momentum as
      represented by unit sales of electronic gaming machines by BGII's domestic
      subsidiary which have approximately doubled  from the level of unit  sales
      in 1993;
 
    - to  develop  and market  premier  gaming entertainment  products employing
      available information technology currently in common use in other segments
      of the  entertainment  industry,  but  not yet  prevalent  in  the  gaming
      industry;
 
    - to  reduce costs  through enhanced operating  efficiencies while improving
      the quality of products and services; and
 
    - to capitalize on  relationships and enter  into alliances with  technology
      and entertainment companies, with a particular focus on the application of
      technology in the gaming entertainment business.
 
    The  Company believes it  has assembled a  strong and experienced management
team to implement its strategy and capitalize on the opportunities in the gaming
industry. Steve Greathouse, Chairman  of the Board  of Directors, President  and
Chief  Executive Officer  of Alliance,  has over 20  years of  experience in the
gaming industry and has strong  relationships with many casino operators.  Prior
to joining Alliance in 1994, Mr. Greathouse was President of the Harrah's Casino
Hotels  Division  of  The  Promus  Companies  Incorporated.  Craig  Fields, Vice
Chairman of  the  Board of  Directors  of Alliance,  who  will assume  a  senior
management  position  upon consummation  of  the Merger,  has  over 20  years of
experience with  advanced  information technology  from  his work  with  several
leading  companies and government agencies including Perot Systems Corp. and the
United States Department of  Defense. Dr. Fields has  been active in  developing
the  Company's  strategic  focus  on the  application  of  technology  to gaming
entertainment products. In  addition, Hans  Kloss, currently  the President  and
Chief Operating Officer of BGII and long-time managing director of BGII's German
operations,  will join the senior  management team and continue  to run the BGII
operations. Since  becoming  President of  BGII  in  1993, Mr.  Kloss  has  been
instrumental  in implementing  changes in BGII's  United States-based operations
resulting in improvements in its results of operations. See "Management."
 
  BUSINESS UNITS
 
    Following the Merger, the Company will operate through four business  units:
(i)  casino-style  electronic  gaming machine  manufacturing  and  systems, (ii)
German  operations   (consisting  of   the  manufacture   and  distribution   of
wall-mounted  gaming  machines and  the distribution  of other  recreational and
amusement machines), (iii) gaming machine management operations and (iv)  casino
operations.
 
    GAMING  MACHINE MANUFACTURING AND SYSTEMS.  BGII's United States subsidiary,
Bally Gaming, Inc.,  currently has two  components: a domestic-based  electronic
gaming machine manufacturing unit ("Gaming") and a data systems and software and
hardware  support  service unit  ("Systems").  Gaming designs,  manufactures and
distributes a variety of slot machines and video gaming machines. Gaming is  the
second  largest electronic gaming machine manufacturer in North America, and has
significantly increased its penetration  in the gaming  machine market with  the
successful introduction of its ProSeries-TM- and Game
Maker-Registered  Trademark- lines in 1993 and 1994, respectively. In the United
States, Gaming historically has  marketed electronic gaming machines,  primarily
to casinos in Atlantic City and Nevada and more recently in other jurisdictions.
Gaming  also distributes electronic  gaming machines outside  the United States,
principally in Europe through Bally Gaming International GmbH ("GmbH") and, to a
lesser extent, in Canada, the Far
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
East, Latin America  and the  Caribbean. Systems designs,  assembles and  sells,
primarily  to  casino  operators  in  the  United  States,  computerized  player
tracking, cash monitoring, accounting and  security data systems for  electronic
gaming  machines. Since  the introduction  of its SDS  6000 system  in the first
quarter of  1993  and subsequent  upgrades,  Systems has  rapidly  expanded  its
presence  in  casinos.  By the  end  of 1993,  Systems  had 40,000  of  its game
monitoring units ("GMUs") installed in 33 casino properties worldwide. This  has
since  increased to 60,000 GMUs installed in 55 casino properties as of February
1996. For the twelve-month period ended  December 31, 1995, EBITDA (as  defined:
see footnote (1) to "Summary Historical Financial Information -- Alliance Gaming
Corporation")  for  the  gaming  machine  manufacturing  and  systems  unit  was
approximately $11.7 million.
 
    GERMAN OPERATIONS.  BGII's German subsidiaries, which operate under the name
Bally  Wulff  (collectively,  "Wulff"),   design,  manufacture  and   distribute
coin-operated,  wall-mounted, electronic gaming machines known as wall machines.
Management estimates that Wulff has approximately  25% of the installed base  of
the  wall machine  market which  exists almost  exclusively in  Germany and that
Wulff and the two other major competitors have a greater than 90% market  share.
Wulff  markets its wall machines as well as wall machines and other recreational
and amusement machines  manufactured by  third parties,  including pool  tables,
air-hockey  and pinball  machines, jukeboxes and  arcade games,  to operators of
arcades,  taverns,  hotels  and  restaurants  primarily  in  Germany.  For   the
twelve-month  period ended December  31, 1995, EBITDA  for the German operations
unit was approximately $15.2 million.
 
    GAMING MACHINE  MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS.    Alliance's Nevada  gaming  machine
management  operations, which are the largest  in Nevada, involve the selection,
ownership, installation,  operation  and  maintenance of  video  poker  devices,
reel-type   slot  machines  and  other   electronic  gaming  machines  in  local
establishments such  as  taverns,  restaurants, supermarkets,  drug  stores  and
convenience  stores operated  by third  parties. Alliance  enters into contracts
with these parties  whereby Alliance either  receives a portion  of the  revenue
generated  by  the  machines or  pays  rent  and receives  all  of  the revenues
generated by  the machines.  In Nevada,  Alliance operated  approximately  5,300
units  installed in 520 locations  as of March 1,  1996. Alliance's customer and
machine base has  remained relatively  stable over  the last  five years.  These
operations target local residents who generally frequent establishments close to
their  homes. In December 1995, Alliance launched Gambler's Bonus, a proprietary
product which brings large casino gaming amenities to local establishments, such
as multi-location progressive jackpots,  bigger jackpot payouts and  traditional
players' club enhancements. Since launching Gambler's Bonus, the gaming machines
linked  to Gambler's Bonus have  experienced an increase in  average net win per
day per machine. As of  March 1, 1996, Alliance had  286 machines linked to  the
Gambler's Bonus system, and management expects to have Gambler's Bonus installed
in  approximately 88 locations or a total of 980 machines by June 1996. In 1992,
Alliance expanded its machine management  operations to Louisiana, where it  has
an  exclusive 10-year contract (seven years remaining, plus a five-year right of
first refusal thereafter) to  operate approximately 700  video poker devices  at
the  only racetrack and 10 associated OTBs  in the greater New Orleans area. For
the twelve-month period ended December 31,  1995, EBITDA for the gaming  machine
management operations unit was $18.3 million.
 
    CASINO  OPERATIONS.    Alliance  owns and  operates  two  small full-service
casinos. In Mississippi, the Company's Rainbow  Casino is part of the  Vicksburg
Landing  facility  which  opened in  July  1994  and is  the  only casino/family
entertainment complex of its kind  in Mississippi. The Rainbow Casino  currently
has approximately 589 electronic gaming machines and 28 table games. In addition
to the approximately 24,000-square foot Rainbow Casino, Vicksburg Landing opened
an  89-room hotel  and a  10-acre indoor/  outdoor amusement  park in  May 1995.
Although the hotel  and amusement park  are not owned  or operated by  Alliance,
management  believes that such facilities  have contributed significantly to the
recent strong financial  results of  the Rainbow  Casino. Alliance's  Plantation
Station  Casino located  in Reno/Sparks, Nevada  is a  20,000-square foot casino
which currently contains approximately 453 electronic gaming machines, keno  and
10  table games in addition to a  300-seat restaurant owned by Alliance. For the
twelve-month period ended December  31, 1995, EBITDA  for the casino  operations
unit was $10.5 million.
 
    Alliance  is a Nevada corporation organized in 1968. The Company's principal
executive offices are located at 4380 Boulder Highway, Las Vegas, Nevada  89121,
and its telephone number is (702) 435-4200.

<PAGE>
                       THE MERGER AND RELATED FINANCINGS
 
    Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth  therein, Alliance  will acquire  all of  the stock  of BGII  as set forth
below. In addition, the  Company will generally  assume BGII's obligations  with
respect  to each outstanding  BGII stock option and  warrant, subject to certain
modifications being presented for approval by BGII stockholders, and will retire
approximately $70.7 million  of outstanding debt  of BGII (including  prepayment
premium and original issue discount), plus accrued interest.
 
    The  Merger and related transactions will be financed through (i) the Common
Stock Offering and  the Private Placement  of an aggregate  of $65.0 million  of
Common  Stock, $0.10 par value per share, of Alliance (the "Common Stock"), (ii)
the Preferred Stock Offering of $15.0  million of 15% Non-voting Junior  Pay-in-
Kind  Special Stock, Series B, liquidation  value $100 per share (the "Preferred
Stock"), and (iii) the Note Offering of $75.0 million aggregate principal amount
of    % Senior Secured Notes  due 2003 (the "Senior Secured Notes"). The  Common
Stock  Offering, the Preferred Stock Offering, the Note Offering and the Private
Placement are contingent upon and will close simultaneously with the Merger. See
"The Merger and Related Financings."
 
    The Common  Stock  Offering,  the  Preferred Stock  Offering  and  the  Note
Offering  are each  being made by  the Company exclusively  pursuant to separate
prospectuses. A financial institution  has agreed to  purchase privately at  the
time  of consummation of the Merger $5.0 million  of the equity of Alliance at a
price equal to the lower of $4.56 (the average trading price of the Common Stock
for the five  trading day period  immediately preceding the  agreement) and  the
price  of the  Common Stock  issued in the  Common Stock  Offering. This Private
Placement would be  in the form  of Common Stock  to the extent  of 4.9% of  the
total  Common Stock outstanding at the time, taking into account Common Stock to
be issued in the Merger and the Common Stock Offering, with the remainder to  be
in  the  form of  non-voting special  stock convertible  into Common  Stock. The
Company anticipates, and it is assumed for all purposes herein, that all of  the
$5.0 million will be issued in the form of Common Stock.
 
    The  Merger, the Offerings, the Private  Placement and the specified uses of
proceeds therefrom are collectively referred to herein as the "Transaction."
 
                           SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS
 
    The following table sets forth the anticipated sources and uses of funds  to
be  used  to  consummate  the  Merger and  related  transactions,  based  on the
Company's cash and debt  balances as of December  31, 1995. The actual  balances
and  number of shares outstanding will vary based on the date of consummation of
the Transaction.

                         SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
    The following tables set  forth a Summary Forecast  of Operating Income  and
Adjusted  Operating Cash  Flow (the  "Summary Forecast")  based on  the expected
combined operating  data for  the  Company for  the twelve-month  period  ending
December  31,  1996. The  Summary  Forecast, which  consists  of forward-looking
statements, is qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions set forth below and
the other  information contained  in  this Prospectus,  and  should be  read  in
conjunction  with the Summary of Significant Assumptions and Accounting Policies
for the Forecast.
 
    The following  Summary Historical  Financial  Information tables  set  forth
summary  consolidated financial  information of  Alliance, and  has been derived
from the audited  consolidated financial statements  of Alliance, including  the
notes  thereto, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995, and the
unaudited interim  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Alliance,
including  the notes  thereto, as  of December  31, 1995  and for  the six month
periods ended December 31, 1994 and  1995, which are included elsewhere in  this
Prospectus.  The following Summary Historical  Financial Information tables also
set forth summary  consolidated financial  information of BGII,  which has  been
derived  from the audited  consolidated financial statements  of BGII, including
the notes thereto, as of December 31, 1995 and for the years ended December  31,
1993, 1994 and 1995, which are included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
    The  following tables also  set forth Summary  Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial  Information. The  Pro Forma  Statements of  Operations  Data
presents  results of operations of the Company assuming the Transaction occurred
on July 1, 1994 for the statements for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended December 31, 1995, and on July 1,
1993 for the statements for the six months ended December 31, 1994, and that the
Rainbow Casino  operations  were  consolidated.  The  detailed  presentation  of
revenues is derived from internally prepared supporting schedules not otherwised
presented  or incorporated herein. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet Data presents the
financial position of the Company assuming the Transaction occurred on  December
31,   1995.  The  Summary  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed  Combined  Financial
Information does not  purport to present  the financial position  or results  of
operations  of  the  Company  had the  Transaction  and  events  assumed therein
occurred on the dates specified, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results
of operations of the Company as  they may be in the  future or as they may  have
been  had the Transaction and the  consolidation of the Rainbow Casino operating
results been consummated on the dates described above. The Summary Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information  is based on certain  assumptions
and adjustments described in the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Financial Information and should be read in conjunction therewith.
 
    The  following  tables  also  set  forth  Summary  Supplemental  Analysis of
Adjusted Operating Cash  Flow, which  is based  on combining  Alliance and  BGII
historical  information. Alliance management has made certain adjustments to the
combined operating income and has made further adjustments thereto to arrive  at
a  measure of adjusted operating cash  flow ("Adjusted Operating Cash Flow"). As
is more fully described  below, such adjustments consist  of the elimination  of
certain  charges that  management has determined  to be one-time  or unusual, as
well as adjustments  made to reflect  the most recent  operating results of  the
Rainbow  Casino by annualizing the most recent six month operating results after
considering seasonality, which was immaterial, and presenting such results as if
they had  occurred  for each  period  presented. In  making  these  adjustments,
management  considered  all  items  deemed non-recurring,  revenues  as  well as
expenses.
 
    The tables should be read in conjunction with "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Information,"  "Supplemental Analysis  of Adjusted  Operating
Cash  Flow," "Forecast  of Operating Income  and Adjusted  Operating Cash Flow,"
"Selected Historical Financial  Information of  Alliance," "Selected  Historical
Financial  Information  of  BGII,"  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations,"  the  audited  consolidated
financial  statements of  Alliance, including  the notes  thereto, the unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial  statements of Alliance, including  the
notes  thereto,  and  the  audited consolidated  financial  statements  of BGII,
including the  notes  thereto, and  other  financial and  operating  information
included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

(1) The Summary Forecast, which consists of forward-looking statements, is based
    upon  a  number  of estimates  and  assumptions that,  while  presented with
    numerical  specificity  and  considered  reasonable  by  management  of  the
    Company,   are  inherently   subject  to   significant  business,  economic,
    competitive, regulatory and  other uncertainties and  contingencies, all  of
    which  are difficult to predict and many  of which are beyond the control of
    the Company. The Summary Forecast is necessarily speculative in nature,  and
    it  is  usually  the  case  that  one or  more  of  the  assumptions  do not
    materialize. The Summary Forecast  and actual results  will vary, and  those
    variations  may  be  material.  Accordingly, the  inclusion  of  the Summary
    Forecast herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or
    any other person (including the Underwriters) that the Summary Forecast will
    be achieved. In addition, because the Summary Forecast has been prepared  on
    a  consolidated  basis,  the  Summary  Forecast  does  not  account  for the
    Company's holding company structure, which  may result in cash flows  earned
    at  some  subsidiaries being  unavailable for  distribution to  the Company.
    Prospective investors  are cautioned  not  to place  undue reliance  on  the
    Summary Forecast.

    "Summary  of  Significant  Assumptions  and  Accounting  Policies  for   the
    Forecast" elsewhere in the Prospectus.
 
(3)  Includes selling,  general and administrative  costs for  the twelve months
    ended December 31,  1994 and 1995  net of the  following: the direct  Merger
    costs,  the business development costs over the $3.0 million budgeted amount
    and forecasted  synergy  cost savings.  See  note  (7) below  for  the  1996
    presentation which includes direct Merger costs.
 
(4) Represents adjustment to reflect Rainbow Casino's annualized results for the
    period net of incremental royalty.
 
(5)  Reflects  items determined  by management  to  be unusual  or non-recurring
    (which are also included in Total Operating Costs). The concept of  one-time
    or   unusual  charges  is  not  defined  in  generally  accepted  accounting
    principles ("GAAP").
 
(6) For 1996, the non-recurring charges consist of the $1.0 million of  one-time
    charges  (which  are included  in Total  Operating  Costs) to  implement the
    expected annual synergy cost savings (which are reflected in Total Operating
    Costs as well).
 
(7) Direct Merger costs for 1996 have been included in Total Operating Costs and
    presented as an adjustment  in computing the  Adjusted Operating Cash  Flow.
    See  note (3) above for the presentation  of direct Merger costs in 1994 and
    1995.

- ------------------------
 
(1) EBITDA  is  defined  as  earnings before  interest  expense,  income  taxes,
    depreciation  and amortization ("EBITDA"). When  presented for each business
    unit, EBITDA  excludes  corporate  expenses,  casino  royalty  and  minority
    interest.  EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income or
    any other  GAAP  measure  of  performance  as  an  indicator  of  Alliance's
    performance or to cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing
    activities  as  an  indicator  of  cash flows  or  a  measure  of liquidity.
    Management believes that EBITDA is a useful adjunct to net income and  other
    measurements under GAAP and is a conventionally used financial indicator.
 
(2)  Since March 29, 1995, the  Rainbow Casino operations have been consolidated
    with Alliance.
 
(3) Includes direct Merger costs of $1.7 million and $9.4 million for the fiscal
    year ended  June  30, 1995  and  the six  months  ended December  31,  1995,
    respectively.
 
(4)  Includes one-time charges  incurred by Alliance  consisting of an executive
    signing bonus  of $1.3  million paid  in Common  Stock and  $1.1 million  of
    termination  costs for certain  officers and directors,  which were incurred
    during the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
 
(5) Includes businesses now or previously considered as discontinued operations.

</TABLE>
 
- --------------------------
 
(1) The  information is  derived from  the historical  financial information  of
    Alliance and BGII, which has been combined for purposes of this summary.
 
(2)  Includes certain charges incurred by BGII consisting of costs relating to a
    regulatory investigation  and legal  proceedings in  Louisiana, legal  costs
    related to a former executive, legal costs related to the "Bally" trade name
    litigation  that  were directly  caused  by the  investigation,  and certain
    unusual charges consisting  of costs  related to the  merger agreement  with
    WMS,  a  reserve for  German  V.A.T. and  the  write-down of  a  building in
    Germany. There can be no assurance that other unusual charges will not occur
    in the future.
 
(3) Includes one-time charges  incurred by Alliance  consisting of an  executive
    signing  bonus of  $1.3 million  paid in  Common Stock  and $1.1  million of
    termination costs for certain directors, which charges were incurred  during
    the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
 
(4) Includes direct costs related to the Merger consisting of legal, accounting,
    and investment banking fees and related costs.
 
(5)  Reflects the  reduction of Alliance  Development Expense,  which relates to
    mergers, acquisitions  and joint  ventures, to  $3.0 million  annually.  The
    reduction  to $3.0 million reflects  the anticipated elimination of expenses
    that were being incurred prior to Alliance's accomplishment of its strategic
    plan to acquire a major gaming machine manufacturing company. The adjustment
    to eliminate direct costs related to the Merger is shown in note (4)  above.
    For the six months ended December 31, 1995, Alliance Development Expense was
    below the $3.0 million annual rate.
 
(6)  For purposes of  this summary the  Rainbow Casino is  presented as if owned
    from the beginning of each period presented. Also, as the final elements  of
    the  Rainbow Casino  facility were not  completed until  July 1995, Alliance
    management believes that the results of operations for the six months  ended
    December  31, 1995 after considering seasonality (which was immaterial), are
    more  reflective   of  the   property's  ongoing   results  of   operations.
    Accordingly,  such results have been annualized  based on the actual results
    for the six months ended December 31, 1995, as Alliance management  believes
    that  such results better portray the Rainbow Casino's expected contribution
    to  Adjusted   Operating   Cash   Flow.   This   annualization   constitutes
    forward-looking  statements that involve  risks and uncertainties, including
    the risks of competition, gaming regulation and other risks detailed in this
    Prospectus, including under "Risk Factors."
 
(7) Adjusted Operating Cash  Flow should not be  construed as an alternative  to
    net  income or any other GAAP measure  of performance as an indicator of the
    Company's performance or to cash flows generated by operating, investing and
    financing activities  as  an  indicator  of  cash  flows  or  a  measure  of
    liquidity. Management believes that Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is a useful
    adjunct to net income and other GAAP measurements.
 
(8)  The information is derived from  the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
    Financial Information, and is included  here to provide potential  investors
    with additional comparative information.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    IN   ADDITION  TO  THE  OTHER  INFORMATION  CONTAINED  IN  THIS  PROSPECTUS,
PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS SHOULD  CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE  FOLLOWING FACTORS  BEFORE
PURCHASING THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY.
 
HIGH LEVERAGE AND FIXED CHARGES AFTER THE MERGER; HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE;
WORKING CAPITAL
 
    The  Company  will  have  a substantial  amount  of  indebtedness  after the
Transaction. As of December 31, 1995, on  a pro forma basis after giving  effect
to the Transaction, the Company would have had outstanding debt of approximately
$175.1  million  and a  long-term  debt to  equity  ratio of  2.9  to 1.  If the
Preferred Stock is included in debt the long-term debt to equity ratio would  be
3.8  to  1.  See  "The  Merger  and  Related  Financings,"  "Use  of  Proceeds,"
"Capitalization"  and  "Unaudited   Pro  Forma   Condensed  Combined   Financial
Information."  The high level  of indebtedness and amount  of Preferred Stock of
the  Company  outstanding   following  the  Transaction   will  have   important
consequences,  including  without  limitation  the  following:  (i)  significant
interest expense,  cash  dividend  requirements (after  five  years),  principal
repayment   (primarily  after  seven  years)   and  Preferred  Stock  redemption
obligations (after eight  years) resulting in  substantial annual fixed  charges
and   significant  repayment   and  redemption   obligations;  (ii)  significant
limitations on  the  Company's  ability to  obtain  additional  financing,  make
capital  expenditures, make  acquisitions and  take advantage  of other business
opportunities that  may  arise; and  (iii)  increased vulnerability  to  adverse
general economic and industry conditions. In addition, the indenture pursuant to
which  the Senior  Secured Notes will  be issued (the  "Indenture") will include
change of control provisions and restrictive covenants prohibiting or  limiting,
among  other things, the sale  of assets, the incurrence  of additional debt and
liens and the payment  of dividends, non-compliance with  which could result  in
the  acceleration of the Senior Secured  Notes. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of  Financial Condition  and  Results of  Operations --  Liquidity  and
Capital Resources of the Company (Pro Forma)."
 
    On  a pro forma basis after giving effect  to the Transaction and the use of
proceeds thereof, the Company's  earnings would have  exceeded fixed charges  by
approximately  $2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1995 and would have been
inadequate to  cover  fixed  charges  by  approximately  $4.5  million  for  the
six-month  period ended December 31, 1995. In addition, if the maximum amount of
dividends on the Preferred Stock were paid in kind, the liquidation value of the
Preferred Stock would  accrete to  $120.6 million after  seven years.  On a  pro
forma  basis after  giving effect  to the  Transaction and  the use  of proceeds
thereof, the  Company would  have annual  fixed charges  of approximately  $40.3
million,  plus $7.8 million of dividends on the Preferred Stock (permitted to be
paid in kind for the first five  years after issuance and partially in kind  for
the  next  two years)  for  the 12-month  period  ended December  31,  1995. See
"Description of  Capital Stock--Special  Stock."  Future operating  results  are
subject   to   significant  business,   economic,  regulatory   and  competitive
uncertainties and contingencies,  many of which  are beyond the  control of  the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate the
cash  flow  necessary  to permit  the  Company  to meet  its  fixed  charges and
repayment obligations. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow
from operations in the future, it may be required to refinance all or a  portion
of  its  existing  debt or  to  obtain  additional financing.  There  can  be no
assurance that any  such refinancing would  be possible or  that any  additional
financing  could be obtained  on terms that  are favorable or  acceptable to the
Company. Any inability of the Company to service its fixed charges and repayment
obligations would  have a  significant adverse  effect on  the Company  and  the
market  value and marketability of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock and the
Senior Secured Notes.
 
    Alliance is a holding company, the only material assets of which are  equity
interests  in  its  subsidiaries  (including, after  the  Merger,  BGII  and its
subsidiaries). The ability of Alliance  to make interest and principal  payments
on  its  obligations,  including  the Senior  Secured  Notes  and  $85.0 million
principal amount  of Convertible  Debentures,  or to  pay cash  dividends,  will
depend  on  the  subsidiaries' ability  to  generate sufficient  cash  flow from
operations and distribute such  amounts to Alliance.  Such entities' ability  to
make  these distributions is restricted by, among other things, the indebtedness
of  Alliance's  Video  Services,  Inc.  ("VSI")  and  Rainbow   Casino-Vicksburg
Partnership,  L.P.  ("RCVP")  subsidiaries,  and  may  be  restricted  by  other
obligations which may be incurred in  the future and by restrictions imposed  by
gaming authorities on licensed enterprises.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
    The  Company believes that its consolidated cash  flow needs for the next 12
months will increase as a result of an increase in accounts receivable  relating
to the introduction of new machines and the expected increases in production and
sales  levels from recent historical levels.  The Company expects that cash flow
generated by operations and other available  cash will be sufficient to  satisfy
the  Company's normal working capital needs,  although there can be no assurance
the Company will generate such available cash. See
"-- Implementation of  the Merger." In  order to be  competitive in meeting  the
growing  customer demand  for financing of  gaming equipment  in emerging gaming
markets, the  Company also  plans  to continue  to involve  third-party  finance
companies  and secure additional financing; however,  there can be no assurances
that such  additional  financing  will  be  obtained.  Failure  to  obtain  such
financing  on  terms  acceptable  to  the  Company  could  impair  the Company's
operations and  ability  to  pursue its  business  strategy.  See  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
OPERATING HISTORY--RECENT LOSSES
 
    Alliance  incurred  net  losses of  $3.7  million, $13.1  million  and $10.8
million  during  its  fiscal  years  ended   June  30,  1993,  1994  and   1995,
respectively,  and  a net  loss  of $9.4  million  during the  six  months ended
December 31, 1995, whereas BGII  had net income of $5.3  million, a net loss  of
$23.4 million, net income of $3.8 million and a net loss of $3.4 million for its
fiscal  years ended December 31,  1992, 1993, 1994 and  1995, respectively. On a
pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transaction, for the 12-month  period
ended  June 30, 1995  the Company would  have had net  income, prior to accruing
dividends on  the Preferred  Stock, of  $11,000  and for  the six  months  ended
December  31,  1995 the  Company  would have  had a  net  loss of  $5.8 million.
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be approximately $7.8 million in the first
12-month period. Management believes that of  the losses of Alliance during  its
fiscal  years ended June  30, 1993, 1994 and  1995, approximately $900,000, $6.4
million  and  $2.4  million,  respectively,  were  attributable  to  items  that
management   considers   to   be   non-recurring,   primarily   reflecting   the
discontinuance of certain businesses and prior management strategies. Of  BGII's
loss  for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, $5.8 million was attributable
to certain unusual  charges incurred  by BGII related  to a  reserve for  German
V.A.T., the write-down of a building in Germany to be sold to its net realizable
value,  and transaction costs relating to  the Merger, the previous tender offer
and consent  solicitation  by  Alliance,  and  the  proposed  merger  with  WMS.
Nevertheless,  there can be no assurance that  the Company will be profitable in
the future, that there will not  be similar unusual or non-recurring charges  in
the  future, or that future results will improve  as a result of the Merger. See
"Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed  Combined  Financial  Information,"  "Selected
Historical Financial Information of Alliance" and "Selected Historical Financial
Information of BGII."
 
    The  new wall machine unit  sales of Wulff decreased  by approximately 8% in
the year ended  December 31, 1995  as compared  to the year  ended December  31,
1994.  Management believes new wall machine revenues  for the last six months of
1995 were  adversely affected  by  an industry  downturn caused  by  regulations
imposed  in Germany  limiting the  number of wall  machines per  square meter in
arcade  locations   effective   January   1,  1996,   thereby   reducing   sales
opportunities.  Management  expects the  adverse impact  of such  regulations to
continue during the first six months of 1996; however, there can be no assurance
that this impact will only be temporary.
 
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MERGER
 
    The Company's future operations and earnings will be largely dependent  upon
the  Company's  ability  to  integrate the  businesses  separately  conducted by
Alliance and BGII prior  to the Merger. Alliance  and BGII currently operate  in
different  areas of the gaming entertainment  industry, with only modest overlap
in  their  activities.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Company   will
successfully  integrate the businesses of Alliance and BGII, and a failure to do
so would have  a material adverse  effect on the  Company's financial  position,
results  of operations and  cash flows. Additionally,  although the Company does
not currently have  any specific acquisition  plans other than  the Merger,  the
need  to focus management's attention on  integration of the separate businesses
may limit the  Company's ability  to successfully pursue  acquisitions or  other
opportunities  related to its business for  the foreseeable future. Although the
Company plans to introduce more sophisticated technology into BGII's  electronic
gaming  machines, there is no assurance that it will succeed in doing so or that
it will  be able  to  enter into  alliances  with technology  and  entertainment
companies.  In addition,  although management  cannot precisely  quantify future
cost savings, the Company expects to
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
realize cost savings of approximately $5.0 million on an annual basis (primarily
through the reduction of duplicative costs, such as facility, legal,  accounting
and  compensation costs) as  a result of  the Merger. In  order to achieve these
cost savings, the Company believes it will incur one-time costs of approximately
$1.0 million. The  achievement of  these savings  is dependent  on, among  other
things, the successful integration of the businesses of Alliance and BGII. There
can  be no assurance, however, that such  savings will be achieved or sustained.
See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."
 
    BGII currently  supplies electronic  gaming  machines to  certain  customers
which  are in competition  with Alliance. It  is possible that,  because of such
competition, certain of these customers  may cease purchasing electronic  gaming
machines  from BGII after the Merger. Alliance and BGII do not believe that such
discontinuations, if at all, will be material. BGII sales to machine  management
operators  have  historically been,  and  are likely  to  remain, insignificant.
Nevertheless, discontinuance of  purchases by customers  could adversely  affect
the Company's sales.
 
FINANCIAL FORECAST
 
    The  Company was the sole preparer of the Forecast set forth under "Forecast
of Operating Income and  Adjusted Operating Cash Flow."  While such Forecast  is
presented  with numerical specificity, it is based on the Company's current best
estimates of expected results given the forecasted assumptions described in  the
Summary  of Significant Assumptions and Accounting Policies for the forecast for
the  period  presented.   The  Forecast,  which   consists  of   forward-looking
statements, is qualified by and subject to the assumptions set forth therein and
the  other information contained in this Prospectus. The Company does not intend
to update or otherwise  revise the Forecast to  reflect events or  circumstances
existing  or  arising  after the  date  of  this Prospectus  or  to  reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated  events. The  Forecast necessarily is  based upon  a
number  of  estimates  and  assumptions, that,  while  presented  with numerical
specificity and considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject  to
significant  business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other uncertainties
and contingencies, all of which are difficult  to predict and many of which  are
beyond   the  control  of  the  Company.  Financial  forecasts  are  necessarily
speculative in  nature, and  it is  usually the  case that  one or  more of  the
assumptions  underlying such  projections do  not materialize.  The Forecast and
actual results will vary, and those variations may be material. The inclusion of
the Forecast herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or
any other  person  (including  the  Underwriters)  that  the  Forecast  will  be
achieved. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
Forecast.
 
CHANGE OF CONTROL
 
    Following  consummation  of  the Transaction,  pursuant  to which  up  to an
estimated 14.8  million  additional  shares  of Common  Stock  will  be  issued,
Alliance's  two  largest  shareholders,  Alfred  Wilms  and  Kirkland Investment
Corporation  ("KIC"),  will  beneficially  own  approximately  23.6%  and  4.8%,
respectively,  of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, following
the Transaction, no one  person or group  will hold a  majority interest in  the
Company,  and it is  possible that the Company  could be subject  to a change in
control, either pursuant to a takeover attempt or otherwise, to a greater degree
than has been the case. Mr. Wilms is contractually obligated until September 21,
1997 to vote  his shares of  Common Stock in  favor of four  nominees of KIC  to
Alliance's  seven-member Board of Directors.  See "Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Holders and Management."
 
    If a Change of  Control (as defined  in the Indenture or  as defined in  the
indenture  for the  Convertible Debentures)  should occur,  the Company  will be
required, subject to certain  conditions, to offer  to purchase all  outstanding
Senior  Secured Notes and/or  Convertible Debentures, as  applicable, at a price
equal to 101% of the then outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if  any, to the  date of repurchase.  The Transaction will  not
constitute  a  Change  of  Control  under  the  indenture  for  the  Convertible
Debentures. On a  pro forma basis  after giving effect  to the Transaction,  the
Company  will  not  have  sufficient  funds available  to  purchase  all  of the
outstanding Senior Secured Notes and/or  Convertible Debentures were they to  be
tendered  in response to an offer made as a result of a Change of Control. There
can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such funds  through
a  refinancing  of the  Senior Secured  Notes and  Convertible Debentures  to be
repurchased   or   otherwise.   Also,   the   requirement   that   the   Company
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
offer  to repurchase the Senior Secured  Notes and Convertible Debentures in the
event of a Change of Control may have the effect of deterring a third party from
effecting a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control.
 
POSSIBLE INTEREST RATE INCREASE
 
    Alliance  intends  to  issue  in  an  underwritten  offering   approximately
$75,000,000  aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes with an expected
maturity of seven years and an interest rate of    %. Alliance has agreed to use
commercially reasonable good faith  efforts to cause all  of its obligations  in
respect  of the Senior Secured Notes to  be assumed by a subsidiary of Alliance,
which subsidiary would own all assets then owned by the Company (other than  the
Company's  equity interests  in such subsidiary),  but which would  not have any
obligations in respect of the Convertible Debentures. There can be no  assurance
that  the Company will be able to comply with this requirement. In the event the
Company is  unable to  cause such  a  subsidiary to  assume its  obligations  in
respect  of the  Senior Secured Notes  by                 , 1997,  then until an
assumption of  obligations has  occurred,  the Senior  Secured Notes  will  bear
interest at the increased rate of    % per annum, which increased rate will have
an adverse effect on the Company's net income.
 
COMPETITION
 
    GAMING MACHINE MANUFACTURING AND SYSTEMS.  The market for gaming machines is
extremely  competitive, and there are a number of established, well-financed and
well-known companies producing machines that compete with each of the  Company's
product  lines  in  each  of  the  markets  for  the  Company's  gaming  machine
manufacturing operations. The domestic market  for gaming machines is  dominated
by  a single competitor, International Game Technology ("IGT"), with a number of
smaller competitors  in  the  field. In  addition,  certain  technology-oriented
companies  have recently  announced plans  to enter  the gaming  machine market.
Management  believes  that  some  of  these  competitors  have  greater  capital
resources  than  the Company.  Competition  among gaming  product manufacturers,
particularly with respect  to sales  of gaming  machines into  new and  emerging
markets, is based on competitive customer pricing and financing terms, appeal to
the  player and quality of the product, and having an extensive distribution and
sales  network.  Sales  to  established  casinos  in  Nevada  normally   require
completion of a successful trial period for the machines in the casino.
 
    The competition for the computerized monitoring systems designed and sold by
Systems currently consists of IGT, Casino Data Systems ("CDS"), and, to a lesser
extent, Gaming Systems International, Inc. and Acres Gaming, Inc. Competition is
keen  in this market  due to the number  of providers and  the limited number of
casinos and the jurisdictions  in which they  operate. Pricing, product  feature
and  function, accuracy, and  reliability are all main  factors in determining a
provider's success in selling its system. Systems believes the future success of
its operations will  be determined by  its ability to  bring new and  innovative
products to the marketplace while at the same time maintaining the base of loyal
existing customers.
 
    GERMAN  OPERATIONS.    Germany's  wall  machine  manufacturing  industry  is
dominated by  Wulff,  and two  of  its  competitors. These  three  entities  are
believed collectively to account for more than 90% of the entire market for wall
machines  (which  exists  almost  exclusively  in  Germany).  Wulff's  two major
competitors have  greater resources  than  the Company  and  own and  operate  a
significant  number  of arcades,  which may  give  them a  competitive advantage
arising from a built-in market  for their games and  the ability to test  market
new  games in their  own arcades. In  addition, wall machines  compete for floor
space in arcades with token machines,  the sales of which have expanded  rapidly
in  the last several  years, in part as  a result of  low price competitors from
outside Germany.
 
    GAMING MACHINE MANAGEMENT  OPERATIONS.   The competition  for obtaining  and
renewing  gaming machine  routes in Nevada  is high and  continues to intensify.
Such competition has,  over time,  reduced Alliance's gross  profit margins  for
such  operations. In addition, such competition has required Alliance to provide
substantial financial incentives and incur  financial risks to retain or  obtain
certain  gaming machine route locations. Such incentives include long-term lease
commitments, guarantees of leases  in favor of  owners of local  establishments,
substantial advance deposits, payments of lease rentals in advance and loans for
buildings  and tenant-improvement costs. Although  Alliance believes that it now
has adequate procedures
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
for evaluating and  managing such  risks, historically  substantial losses  have
been  incurred in connection with such  transactions reflecting, in part, former
management's willingness to accept higher levels  of risk to further its  policy
of  emphasizing  market  share.  Notwithstanding  the  change  in  the Company's
business strategy to one emphasizing profitability rather than market share, the
future success of the Company's  machine management operations will continue  to
be  dependent to  some extent  on its  ability and  willingness to  provide such
financial inducements. Although Alliance  has historically generated  sufficient
new  machine management contracts  to offset the loss  of old machine management
contracts, due  to  increased  competition,  the  increased  sophistication  and
bargaining  power of customers  and possibly other factors  not yet known, there
can be  no  assurance that  the  Company will  be  able to  obtain  new  machine
management   contracts  or  renew   or  extend  its   current  space  leases  or
revenue-sharing arrangements upon their expiration  or termination, or that,  if
renewed  or extended, the terms will be  favorable to the Company. In Louisiana,
the Company is subject to extensive  competition for contracts to operate  video
poker  machines, and the Company's racetrack and OTBs compete with various truck
stops and locations  with liquor licenses  throughout the New  Orleans area,  as
well  as riverboat  gaming and  one land-based casino  which may  re-open in New
Orleans.
 
    CASINO OPERATIONS.  The  operation of casinos is  also a highly  competitive
business.  The principal competitive factors in the industry include the quality
and location  of the  facility, the  nature  and quality  of the  amenities  and
customer  services  offered  and  the implementation  and  success  of marketing
programs. In Sparks/Reno,  Nevada, the principal  competition for the  Company's
operations comes from larger casinos focusing on the local market. The Company's
one   dockside  casino  in  Vicksburg,   Mississippi  faces  substantial  direct
competition from other dockside gaming facilities in the region.
 
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
 
    The future success of the Company depends to a large extent upon its ability
to design, manufacture  and market technologically  sophisticated products  that
achieve  high levels of  player acceptance. The development  of a successful new
product or product design  by a competitor could  adversely affect sales of  the
Company's  products  and force  it  to respond  quickly  with its  own competing
products.  The  Company's  plans  with  respect  to  the  introduction  of  more
sophisticated  technology into the electronic gaming machine market are designed
to lead to an increase  in market share and  profitability for the Company.  See
"Business."  However, no products incorporating such technology have reached the
development stage, and  there is  no assurance that  any such  products will  be
developed, or that if developed they will receive necessary regulatory approvals
or be commercially successful.
 
CUSTOMER FINANCING
 
    Management   believes  that   customer  financing   terms  have   become  an
increasingly  important  competitive   factor  in   certain  emerging   markets.
Competitive  conditions sometimes require Gaming to grant extended payment terms
on electronic gaming machines and  other gaming equipment. Approximately 75%  of
Gaming's  slot and video  gaming machine customers  pay within 90  days or less.
Approximately 25%  of  Gaming's  sales, primarily  in  certain  emerging  gaming
markets  such as riverboat casinos and  Indian gaming casinos, are financed over
extended periods as long as 36 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 8%
to 14%. While customer financings are normally collateralized by such equipment,
the resale value of the  collateral in the event of  a default may be less  than
the  amount financed. Accordingly, Gaming has  greater exposure to the financial
condition of its customers  in emerging markets than  has historically been  the
case  in  established markets  like Nevada  and Atlantic  City. In  addition, in
certain  situations,  Gaming  has  participated   in  the  financing  of   other
gaming-related  equipment manufactured  by third  parties in  the emerging North
American gaming markets. International sales by Gaming are generally consummated
on a cash basis or financed over a period of one year or less.
 
    Wulff provides customer financing  for approximately 20%  of its sales,  and
management expects this practice to increase during the latter half of 1996. See
"Business--German Operations--Operations of Wulff--Sales and Marketing."
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
SALES TO NON-TRADITIONAL GAMING MARKETS
 
    The  continued growth of  the non-traditional markets  outside of Nevada and
Atlantic City, New Jersey for electronic gaming machines is contingent upon  the
public's  acceptance of these markets and an ongoing regulatory approval process
by Federal, state and local governmental authorities. The Company cannot predict
which new  jurisdictions or  markets,  if any,  will  approve the  operation  of
electronic  gaming machines, the timing of any such approval or the level of the
Company's participation in any such markets.
 
INVESTMENT IN MINORITY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY
 
    Alliance  invested  $1,580,000  for  a  50%  interest  in  Kansas  Financial
Partners,  L.L.C. ("KFP") in 1994.  KFP owns a second  mortgage in the amount of
$3,205,000, plus accrued  interest, secured  by a greyhound  racing facility  in
Frontenac,  Kansas  owned  by  Camptown  Greyhound  Racing,  Inc.  ("Camptown").
Camptown filed for protection  under Chapter 11 of  the U.S. Bankruptcy Code  in
January  of 1996. KFP  intends to pursue  its rights to  protect its collateral,
including foreclosing on the second mortgage, which would require KFP to  assume
or pay the first mortgage of approximately $2,000,000. There can be no assurance
that  KFP will  be able  to gain  control of  the greyhound  racing facility and
obtain a license  to operate  the facility,  or that  Alliance will  be able  to
recover  its investment  in KFP. Additionally,  Alliance owns a  50% interest in
Kansas Gaming Partners,  LLC ("KGP")  which owns  the rights  to operate  gaming
machines and/or casino style gaming at the greyhound racing facility if and when
such  gaming  becomes legal  in Kansas.  The  Kansas legislature  has considered
gaming bills during the 1996 session although none have passed. There can be  no
assurance  that  gaming  of  any  type will  ever  be  legalized  in  Kansas and
management intends to continue to evaluate the recoverability of its investment.
 
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
 
    The  Company's  business  in  foreign  markets  is  subject  to  the   risks
customarily associated with such activities. These risks include fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates and controls, expropriation, nationalization and
other  economic, tax and regulatory policies of local governments as well as the
laws and policies of the United  States affecting foreign trade and  investment.
BGII  does  not generally  enter into  foreign exchange  contracts to  hedge its
exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
 
KEY PERSONNEL
 
    The success of the Company will be dependent, to a significant extent,  upon
the  continued services of a relatively  small group of executive personnel. The
loss or  unavailability  of  one or  more  of  such executive  officers  or  the
inability to attract or retain key employees in the future could have an adverse
effect upon the Company's operations. See "Management."
 
STRICT REGULATION BY GAMING AUTHORITIES
 
    The  manufacture  and distribution  of gaming  machines  and the  conduct of
gaming operations  is subject  to extensive  Federal, state,  local and  foreign
regulation  by various gaming authorities (each, a "Gaming Authority"). Although
the laws  and regulations  of the  various jurisdictions  in which  the  Company
operates  vary in their technical requirements and are subject to amendment from
time to time, virtually  all of these  jurisdictions require licenses,  permits,
documentation   of  the  qualification,  including  evidence  of  integrity  and
financial stability, and other  forms of approval for  companies engaged in  the
manufacture and distribution of gaming machines and gaming operations as well as
for  the  officers,  directors, major  stockholders  and key  personnel  of such
companies. Alliance and BGII and their  key personnel have obtained, or  applied
for, all government licenses, registrations, finding of suitability, permits and
approvals  necessary for the  manufacture and distribution,  and operation where
permitted, of their gaming machines in  the jurisdictions in which Alliance  and
BGII  currently  do  business. However,  there  can  be no  assurance  that such
licenses, registrations, finding  of suitability, permits  or approvals will  be
given  or renewed  in the future  or that  the Company will  obtain the licenses
necessary to operate in emerging markets.
 
    The Company was pursuing a permanent manufacturer's license for Gaming as it
relates to the land-based casino in New Orleans. However, in November 1995,  the
operator   of  the  land-based  casino  in  New  Orleans  filed  for  bankruptcy
reorganization and ceased operations. That action resulted in the termination of
funding for  the regulatory  operations of  the Louisiana  Economic  Development
Gaming Corporation

("LEDGC")  and,  shortly  thereafter,  the Attorney  General  of  Louisiana took
control of the agency  and effectively closed its  operations and dismissed  its
President and employees. The foregoing occurred prior to completion of review of
Gaming's pending application. In addition, the Company's application for renewal
of Gaming's license as a gaming-related casino service industry in New Jersey is
pending  before  the  New  Jersey Casino  Control  Commission  (the  "New Jersey
Commission").  See  "--Ongoing  BGII  Regulatory  Investigations"  and   "Gaming
Regulation and Licensing."
 
    The  Company  currently  has  an agreement  with  Fair  Grounds Corporation,
Jefferson   Downs   Corporation   and   Finish   Line   Management   Corporation
(collectively,  "Fair  Grounds") to  be the  exclusive  operator of  video poker
machines at  the only  racetrack and  ten  associated OTBs  in the  greater  New
Orleans  area.  The  governor of  Louisiana  has  proposed a  referendum  on the
legality of gaming activities  in Louisiana, which proposal  is scheduled to  be
considered at the special session of the legislature which convened on March 25,
1996.  Any such  referendum which  did not  specifically exclude  OTBs would, if
passed, have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company.
 
OWNERSHIP LIMITATIONS ON SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
 
    The Gaming Authorities may, in their  discretion, require the holder of  any
security  of the Company, such  as the Common Stock  or Preferred Stock, to file
applications, be investigated and be found suitable to own such security of  the
Company.  If a record or beneficial owner  of Common Stock or Preferred Stock is
required by a Gaming Authority to be found suitable, such owner will be required
to apply for  a finding  of suitability  within 30  days after  request by  such
Gaming  Authority,  or  within such  earlier  time  as required  by  such Gaming
Authority. As  a general  matter,  assuming a  passive investment  intent,  only
owners  of specified percentages of the  Company's securities are required to be
found suitable,  absent unusual  circumstances,  which percentage  is  typically
between  10% to 15%. The  applicant for a finding  of suitability generally must
pay all  costs of  the investigation  for  such finding  of suitability  and  in
Nevada, must provide an initial deposit as determined by the Nevada State Gaming
Control  Board  to  pay  the  anticipated  costs  and  charges  incurred  in the
investigation and deposit  such additional sums  as are required  by the  Nevada
State Gaming Control Board to pay final costs and charges. If a Gaming Authority
determines  that a  holder is  unsuitable to own  the Common  Stock or Preferred
Stock or to have any other relationship  with the Company, then the Company  can
be  sanctioned,  including  the loss  of  its  approvals, if  without  the prior
approval of the Gaming  Authorities, it: (i) pays  to the unsuitable person  any
dividend,  interest, or any distribution  whatsoever; (ii) recognizes any voting
right by  such  person  in  connection with  such  securities;  (iii)  pays  the
unsuitable  person  renumeration in  any  form; (iv)  makes  any payment  to the
unsuitable  person  by  way  of  principal,  redemption,  conversion,  exchange,
liquidation,  or similar transaction; or (v)  fails to pursue all lawful efforts
to require  such  person  to  relinquish his  voting  securities  including,  if
necessary,  the immediate  purchase of  said voting  securites for  cash at fair
market value.
 
    Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability within
the period of time  required or prescribed  by a Gaming  Authority may be  found
unsuitable.  The same restrictions apply to a  record owner if the record owner,
after request, fails to identify the beneficial owner. Any holder of the  Common
Stock or Preferred Stock found unsuitable and who holds, directly or indirectly,
any  beneficial ownership  of the  Common Stock  or Preferred  Stock beyond such
period of time  prescribed by a  Gaming Authority  may be guilty  of a  criminal
offense. See "Gaming Regulation and Licensing."
 
ONGOING BGII REGULATORY INVESTIGATIONS
 
    In  May 1994,  an investigation of  BGII's former  VLT Louisiana distributor
culminated in  the indictment  by  a United  States  grand jury  and  subsequent
conviction  in New  Orleans of  18 individuals  including certain  of the former
distributor's officers,  directors,  employees  and others.  In  addition,  Alan
Maiss,  a former director and president of  BGII, pled guilty to misprision of a
felony in connection  with such  investigation. BGII, its  subsidiaries and  its
current employees were not subject to such investigation. BGII's activities with
regard  to its  former VLT  distributor in  Louisiana have  been the  subject of
current inquiries  by  gaming regulators.  The  gaming authorities  in  Ontario,
Canada,  who have investigated the matter, issued a gaming registration to Bally
Gaming, Inc.  on  February 8,  1996.  The  New Jersey  Commission  is  currently
reviewing such proceedings in connection with Gaming's application for a license
renewal. An adverse determination
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
by  a  gaming regulator  in any  jurisdiction could  result in  the loss  of the
Company's ability to do business in that jurisdiction and could have the  effect
of  discouraging  gaming  operators from  doing  business with  the  Company. In
addition, further regulatory scrutiny in other jurisdictions may follow any such
adverse determination. See "Business--Other  Litigation" and "Gaming  Regulation
and Licensing."
 
CERTAIN LITIGATION; BALLY TRADE NAME
 
    Bally  Entertainment Corporation ("BEC"), the  licensor of the "Bally" trade
name, has claimed  that a  merger between BGII  and the  Merger Subsidiary  will
result  in the loss  of BGII's right to  use such trade  name. The "Bally" trade
name is an important component of the Company's marketing strategy. On  November
20,  1995, Alliance, the Merger Subsidiary  and BGII commenced an action against
BEC in Federal District  Court in Delaware seeking  a declaratory judgment  that
the  Company will be permitted  to use the "Bally"  trade name subsequent to the
Merger. On November  28, 1995,  BEC commenced  an action  against BGII,  Gaming,
Alliance  and  the Merger  Subsidiary in  Federal District  Court in  New Jersey
seeking to enjoin such  parties from using the  "Bally" trade name. On  February
16,  1996 BGII  received notice  from BEC  alleging that  BGII had  violated the
license agreement relating to such trade  name by, among other things,  granting
to  Marine Midland  Business Loans,  Inc. ("Marine  Midland"), the  lender which
provides Bally Gaming, Inc.'s revolving line  of credit, a security interest  in
general  intangibles. In such  notice, BEC also  stated that as  a result of the
foregoing, it was  immediately terminating  the License Agreement.  Loss of  the
"Bally"  trade name, should such loss occur,  may have a material adverse effect
on the business, results of operations  and financial condition of the  Company,
taken as a whole.
 
    WMS  has instituted a lawsuit in New York State Court against BGII alleging,
among other things, that $4.8 million is due  and payable from BGII to WMS as  a
result  of the termination of BGII's merger  agreement with WMS. Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Alliance  has agreed to  indemnify BGII against  such a  claim
under certain circumstances.
 
    Prospective  purchasers  should  read  the description  of  these  and other
litigation proceedings currently pending against  Alliance and BGII, as well  as
certain  purported  class  actions,  under  the  captions  "Business--Litigation
Relating to the Merger" and "--Other Litigation."
 
GAMING TAXES AND VALUE ADDED TAXES
 
    Gaming operators  are typically  subject to  significant taxes  and fees  in
addition  to corporate  income taxes,  and such  taxes and  fees are  subject to
increase at any time. Any material increase in these taxes or fees, which  could
occur  prospectively or retroactively, would adversely affect the Company. Sales
of Wulff's products in Germany are generally subject to V.A.T. The operations of
Wulff had benefitted from a special tax rebate that was phased out from  January
1,  1992 to January 1, 1994.  See "Gaming Regulation and Licensing--Germany." In
addition, during 1995,  Wulff increased the  amount of V.A.T.  reserves by  $1.0
million  as a result of developments to  date in an ongoing quadrennial audit of
Wulff's tax returns for the years 1988  through 1991. While no written claim  or
assessment  has been  issued, the  German tax  authorities have  orally proposed
preliminary adjustments which range from  $1.4 million (which has been  accrued)
to  $5.0 million. The  Company pays and  expects to continue  to pay substantial
taxes and  fees  in  Nevada,  Louisiana  and  Mississippi  and  expects  to  pay
substantial taxes and fees in any other jurisdiction in which it conducts gaming
operations.
 
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
    There  can be no  assurance with respect  to the prices  at which the Common
Stock and Preferred Stock will  trade after the date  hereof. On April 1,  1996,
the  closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market
System ("NASDAQ NMS")  was $4 7/8  per share.  The trading price  of the  Common
Stock  and Preferred Stock could be subject  to wide fluctuations in response to
quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results and other events or  factors,
including  the  success  of the  Company's  development  activities, legislation
approving or defeating gaming, other  governmental actions, developments in  the
gaming  industry generally and  announcements by the  Company or by competitors.
Historical trading volumes  for the Common  Stock have been  relatively low  and
research  coverage for the Common  Stock is limited. See  "Market Price Data and
Dividend Policy." In  addition, the  stock market,  and the  gaming industry  in
particular,  have experienced extreme price and  volume fluctuations in a manner
which has often
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
been unrelated to the operating performance  of the companies within the  gaming
industry.  These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price
of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock. A shift away from investor interest  in
gaming  in general could adversely affect the  trading price of the Common Stock
and Preferred Stock.
 
DILUTION; OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
 
    The shares  of Common  Stock offered  hereby  are being  issued at  a  price
significantly  above book value  per share, so  purchasers will suffer immediate
substantial dilution. Moreover, Alliance  has outstanding options, warrants  and
convertible  securities,  many of  which are  held  by management  and principal
stockholders, which can  be exercised  for or  converted into  in the  aggregate
approximately  18,200,000  shares of  Common Stock,  and within  30 days  of the
consummation of the Merger, Alliance  will issue additional options  exercisable
for  150,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company will assume BGII's
obligations with  respect  to  each  outstanding stock  option  and  warrant  to
purchase  shares of BGII common stock, which options and warrants will represent
an aggregate  of 552,500  shares  (based on  the  assumption that  all  eligible
employees other than Messrs. Gillman, Jenkins and Kloss elect to have their BGII
options exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number
of  shares of  BGII common  stock subject thereto)  and 92,185  shares of Common
Stock, respectively  (assuming each  BGII warrant  will be  exercisable for  the
Merger  consideration per share of BGII common  stock subject to such warrant at
the exercise price per share of such BGII warrant in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time and  further assuming a  price of $4.88  per share of  Common
Stock).  Further,  warrants exercisable  for an  additional 2,500,000  shares of
Common Stock  will be  issued  to Alliance  affiliates  in connection  with  the
Merger,  and warrants  exercisable for  an additional  250,000 shares  of Common
Stock have been issued and will vest when the price of the Common Stock  reaches
$13  per share following consummation of  the Merger or any similar transaction.
Additionally, approximately 1,018,000  shares of Common  Stock remain  available
for  issuance under the  Alliance 1984 Stock  Option Plan and  the Alliance 1991
Stock Option Plan. To  the extent such outstanding  options, warrants and  other
rights  to purchase  the Company's  Common Shares  are exercised,  there will be
further significant dilution to the  shareholders of the Company.  Additionally,
if  the Company consummates further acquisitions or other transactions utilizing
the Company's securities, significant dilution to the Company's shareholders may
result. See "Dilution" and "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Holders and
Management,"   "Certain    Relationships   and    Related   Transactions"    and
"Underwriting."
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Immediately  following completion of the  Transaction, the Company will have
outstanding approximately                shares of  Common Stock  (approximately
          shares  if  the Underwriters'  over-allotment  option is  exercised in
full), as well  as a  number of  outstanding options,  warrants and  convertible
securities.  Of those shares outstanding, approximately           shares sold in
the Common Stock Offering (approximately            shares if the  Underwriters'
over-allotment  option is  exercised in full)  will be  freely tradeable without
restrictions or further registration  under the Securities  Act, except for  any
shares  acquired by an "affiliate" of the  Company which would be subject to the
resale limitations of  Rule 144 under  the Securities Act  ("Rule 144"). Of  the
options,  warrants  and  convertible securities  of  the Company  which  will be
outstanding following the  Merger, which  are exercisable in  the aggregate  for
approximately   21,800,000  shares  of  Common  Stock,  those  held  by  certain
directors, executive  officers and  other  affiliates of  the Company  would  be
deemed  "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144. In addition, the
shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Private Placement will also be deemed
"restricted securities"  within  the  meaning of  Rule  144.  These  "restricted
securities"  may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities
Act other than in  accordance with an exemption  from registration such as  Rule
144.  Persons holding a substantial number of shares of Common Stock and options
and warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock have rights,  subject
to  certain conditions, to  require the Company  to file registration statements
covering the shares they own or may acquire through option or warrant exercises.
These persons and others  also have rights, subject  to certain limitations,  to
"piggyback"  registrations if the Company files a registration statement for any
other purpose.  Alliance and  its directors  and named  executive officers  have
agreed  with the  Underwriters not  to issue, offer,  sell, grant  any option to
purchase or otherwise
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities
convertible into  or exercisable  or exchangeable  for or  warrants, rights,  or
options  to acquire shares of Common Stock or enter into any agreement to do any
of the foregoing (other than with respect  to the Company, the grant of  options
pursuant  to the  Alliance 1984  Stock Option  Plan or  the Alliance  1991 Stock
Option Plan) for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus  without
the  prior written consent of Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc., subject to certain
exceptions. See "Underwriting." Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock  in
the  public market  subsequent to the  Transaction, or the  perception that such
sales could occur,  could adversely affect  the prevailing market  price of  the
Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the
sale of equity securities. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

                       THE MERGER AND RELATED FINANCINGS
 
    On October 18, 1995, Alliance entered into the Merger Agreement with BGII, a
Delaware  corporation,  and the  Merger Subsidiary,  a Delaware  corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary  of  Alliance.  Pursuant to  the  Merger  Agreement  and
subject  to the  terms and conditions  set forth therein,  the Merger Subsidiary
will merge into BGII  which will become a  wholly-owned subsidiary of  Alliance.
The  Merger  consideration  to  BGII stockholders  will  be  approximately $76.7
million in cash,  $35.0 million in  Preferred Stock and  $2.9 million in  Common
Stock,  assuming  10,799,501  shares  of  BGII  common  stock  outstanding, less
1,000,000 shares owned by Alliance which  will be canceled upon consummation  of
the  Merger. Alliance  will also  retire approximately  $70.7 million  of BGII's
outstanding debt  (including prepayment  premium and  original issue  discount),
plus accrued and unpaid interest, in connection with the Merger.
 
    The  Merger Agreement  provides that  Alliance will  honor the  terms of all
employment agreements to which BGII is a party. Upon consummation of the  Merger
and  the filing of  a Certificate of Merger  with the Secretary  of State of the
State of Delaware (the  "Effective Time"), the  following executive officers  of
BGII  will  be  entitled,  pursuant  to  the  termination  of  their  employment
agreements and  performance unit  awards with  BGII, to  the following  lump-sum
payments,  without discount to present value, in connection with the termination
of their respective employment agreements  and performance unit awards:  Richard
Gillman,  $5.0 million payable  in cash; and Neil  Jenkins, $1.3 million payable
$0.8 million in cash  and $0.5 million  in Common Stock  valued at the  Alliance
Average  Trading Price  (defined in  the Merger  Agreement as  the average daily
closing price per share of the Common  Stock as reported through NASDAQ NMS  for
the ten consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the fifth trading day
prior to the Effective Time) but in no event more than $6.00 nor less than $4.25
per  share. Robert Conover and Alliance have  agreed that at the Effective Time,
he will receive $0.7 million, payable $0.2  million in cash and $0.5 million  in
Common  Stock (valued  at the  Alliance Average  Trading Price  but in  no event
greater than $6.00 or  less than $4.25  per share), and that  he will remain  as
President  of Systems. Hans Kloss and Alliance have agreed that at the Effective
Time, Mr. Kloss will  receive $1.5 million  in cash and  $3.0 million in  Common
Stock  (valued at the Alliance  Average Trading Price but  in no event more than
$6.00 nor less than $4.25 per share)  and that he will continue as President  of
BGII  for a period of one year. Mr. Kloss and Alliance have also agreed that his
current employment arrangement  with Wulff will  continue until the  end of  its
term  in May 1998 and that Mr. Kloss  will be entitled to certain bonus payments
based on future performance.
 
    In addition, the Company will assume BGII's obligations with respect to each
outstanding stock option and  warrant to purchase shares  of BGII common  stock,
subject   to  certain  modifications  being   presented  for  approval  by  BGII
stockholders. The  BGII stock  options  and warrants  assumed by  Alliance  will
continue  to have  the same terms  and conditions  except that (i)  (A) all BGII
stock options subject  to provisions  of stock  option plans  which shorten  the
exercise  period by reason of the Merger and  (B) all BGII stock options held by
directors of BGII shall be amended to  the extent necessary to permit such  BGII
stock  option to remain exercisable for the lesser of (x) the full option period
immediately prior to  the Merger, (y)  three years after  the completion of  the
Merger  or (z) except with  respect to options held  by Messrs. Gillman, Jenkins
and Kloss, the period ending on the date on which the option holders' employment
is terminated  for cause  or  voluntarily; and  (ii)  unless the  terms  thereof
explicitly  require  otherwise,  each  BGII stock  option  and  warrant  will be
exercisable for the Merger consideration per share of BGII common stock  subject
to  such option  or warrant  at the option  price per  share of  such BGII stock
option or warrant in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that
at the election of any employee of BGII (other than Messrs. Gillman, Jenkins and
Kloss) immediately prior to  the Effective Time, any  such BGII options held  by
such person (not more than 552,500 in the aggregate) will be instead exercisable
for  a number of  shares of Common Stock  equal to the number  of shares of BGII
common stock subject thereto at an exercise price equal to the Alliance  Average
Trading Price.
 
    At April 1, 1996, an aggregate of 1,052,500 shares of BGII common stock were
subject to options granted to employees and directors under various stock option
plans  or as  replacement options  with respect  thereto (of  which options with
respect to 552,500 shares  are expectd to remain  outstanding after the  Merger)
and  an  aggregate of  1,498,000 shares  of  BGII common  stock were  subject to
warrants issued by BGII in connection with certain financing transactions.
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
    A financial institution  has agreed  to purchase  privately at  the time  of
consummation  of the Merger  $5.0 million of  the equity of  Alliance at a price
equal to the lower of $4.56 (the  average trading price of the Common Stock  for
the  five trading day period immediately  preceding the agreement) and the price
of the Common Stock in  the Common Stock Offering.  This investment would be  in
the  form  of Common  Stock to  the extent  of  4.9% of  the total  Common Stock
outstanding at the time, taking  into account Common Stock  to be issued in  the
Merger  and the Common Stock  Offering, with the remainder to  be in the form of
non-voting special stock convertible into Common Stock. The Company anticipates,
and it is assumed for all purposes herein, that all $5.0 million will be  issued
in the form of Common Stock.
 
    Alliance   intends  to  issue  in  an  underwritten  offering  approximately
$75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes with an  expected
maturity  of seven years and an interest rate of     %. The Senior Secured Notes
are likely to be guaranteed by certain of Alliance's subsidiaries and to include
restrictive covenants prohibiting or limiting,  among other things, the sale  of
assets,  the making of acquisitions and other investments, capital expenditures,
the incurrence of  additional debt and  liens and the  payment of dividends  and
distributions.   Non-compliance  could  result  in   the  acceleration  of  such
indebtedness. In addition, it is anticipated that the Senior Secured Notes  will
contain  a requirement that Alliance apply  "excess available cash flow" towards
periodic offers to repurchase the Senior Secured Notes at 101% of the  principal
amount  thereof,  together  with accrued  and  unpaid  interest to  the  date of
repurchase, and that  the Company  also make such  offers to  repurchase upon  a
Change  of Control  (as defined  in the Indenture).  Alliance has  agreed to use
commercially reasonable good faith  efforts to cause all  of its obligations  in
respect  of the Senior Secured Notes to  be assumed by a subsidiary of Alliance,
which subsidiary would own all assets then owned by the Company (other than  the
Company's  equity interests  in such subsidiary),  but which would  not have any
obligations in respect of the Convertible  Debentures. In the event the  Company
is unable to cause such a subsidiary to assume its obligations in respect of the
Senior  Secured Notes by                    , 1997, then  until an assumption of
obligations has occurred,  the Senior Secured  Notes will bear  interest at  the
increased rate of     % per annum.
 
SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS
 
    The  following table sets forth the anticipated sources and uses of funds to
be used to consummate the Merger and related transactions based on the Company's
cash and debt balances as of December  31, 1995. The actual balances and  number
of  shares  outstanding  may vary  based  on  the date  of  consummation  of the
Transaction.

    On October 18, 1995 (the day the Merger Agreement was entered into), January
23,  1996 (the day the Merger Agreement  was amended and restated), and April 1,
1996, the closing price per share of the Common Stock as reported on the  NASDAQ
NMS was $4 1/2, $4 3/16 and $4 7/8, respectively.
 
    The market price of shares of the Common Stock is subject to fluctuation. As
a result, prospective purchasers are urged to obtain current market quotations.
 
    No  cash dividends were declared or paid by Alliance during the fiscal years
ended June  30, 1994  or June  30, 1995  or thereafter.  The Alliance  Board  of
Directors  does not currently intend to pay  cash dividends on the Common Stock.
Future dividends  on  the  Common Stock  will  be  determined by  the  Board  of
Directors in light of the Company's alternative opportunities for investment and
the  earnings and financial  condition of the Company,  among other factors. The
Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per year, which may  be
paid  for a period of time in the  form of additional shares of Preferred Stock.
See "Description of Capital Stock--Special Stock."
 
    On April 1, 1996,  there were approximately 1,615  holders of record of  the
Common Stock.

                                    DILUTION
 
    The price per share to the public of Common Stock offered hereby exceeds the
negative  net tangible  book value  per share.  Therefore, purchasers  of Common
Stock sold in the  Common Stock Offering will  realize an immediate dilution  in
the  value of their shares.  Net tangible book value  per share is determined by
subtracting total  liabilities  from  total tangible  assets  and  dividing  the
remainder by the applicable number of shares of Common Stock. Dilution assumes a
public  offering price  of $4.88  per share  in the  $60.0 million  Common Stock
Offering and a price of $4.56 per share for the $5.0 million Private  Placement.
The following table illustrates the dilution to purchasers of shares sold in the
Common Stock Offering:

- ------------------------
(a) Negative  net  tangible  book  value per  share  is  determined  by dividing
    negative net  tangible  book value  of  the Company  (tangible  assets  less
    liabilities)  by 12,987,483 shares  of Common Stock  outstanding at December
    31, 1995.
 
(b) Based on  the  assumed offering  prices,  after deducting  the  underwriting
    discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses.
 
(c) Dilution  is determined by subtracting pro forma net tangible book value per
    share after the Transaction from the amount  of cash paid by a new  investor
    for one share of Common Stock.
 
    The dilution per share reflects the historical costs of the Company's assets
at  December 31, 1995. The Company's  management believes such dilution would be
substantially reduced if it were calculated based upon the fair market value  of
its assets.

    The  Company  currently anticipates  obtaining one  or more  working capital
revolving facilities at  Gaming and  Wulff (providing  up to  $    of  borrowing
availability  in aggregate) which would be secured by the inventory and accounts
receivable of such entities and their subsidiaries. The Company has not received
any commitment for any such facility and no assurance can be given that it  will
be  able to  obtain any  such facility  on terms  acceptable to  the Company. At
closing, even  if such  facilities are  obtained, the  Company expects  that  no
borrowings will have been made under such facilities.

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
    The  Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations present
results of operations of the Company  assuming the Transaction occurred on  July
1,  1994  for the  statements  for the  twelve months  ended  June 30,  1995 and
December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended December 31, 1995, and on July 1,
1993 for the statements for the six months ended December 31, 1994 and that  the
Rainbow  Casino operations  were consolidated. Adjustments  necessary to reflect
these assumptions and to restate  historical combined results of operations  are
presented  in the Pro Forma Adjustments  columns, which are further described in
the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.
 
    The Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed Combined  Balance  Sheet  presents  the
financial  position of the Company assuming the Transaction occurred on December
31, 1995.  Adjustments  necessary to  reflect  this assumption  and  to  restate
historical  combined balance sheets  are presented in  the Pro Forma Adjustments
column, which  are  further  described  in the  Notes  to  Unaudited  Pro  Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Information.
 
    The  historical unaudited financial information for Alliance is derived from
the audited financial statements of Alliance  for the year ended June 30,  1995,
and  the unaudited reports of Alliance  for the six-month periods ended December
31, 1994 and 1995.  The historical unaudited financial  information for BGII  is
derived  from  the unaudited  interim information  generated as  of and  for the
periods  ended  June  30,  1994  and  1995.  BGII  operating  results  for   the
twelve-month  period  ended  June 30,  1995  are calculated  by  subtracting the
unaudited six-month period  ended June 30,  1994 results from  the audited  year
ended  December 31, 1994 results and adding the unaudited six-month period ended

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                         COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
    1.    The Unaudited  Pro Forma  Condensed  Combined Financial  Statements of
Operations are presented as if the combination of Alliance and BGII occurred  on
July  1, 1994 for the statements of  operations for the twelve months ended June
30, 1995 and December 31, 1995 and  for the six months ended December 31,  1995,
and  on July 1,  1994 for the statement  of operations for  the six months ended
December 31, 1994. The Unaudited Pro  Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet  is
presented assuming the combination occurred on December 31, 1995 for purposes of
presenting  the  pro forma  balance  sheet. The  combination  is expected  to be
recorded as  a  purchase  transaction  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting   principles  and,  accordingly,  BGII  assets  and  liabilities  are
presented at their estimated fair values as of that date.
 
    The Merger Agreement  provides that  BGII stockholders will  receive in  the
Merger,  in exchange for each  of their issued and  outstanding shares of common
stock, (i) an amount of cash  (the "Cash Consideration") determined by  dividing
$76.7  million  by  the  number  of  shares  of  BGII  common  stock  issued and
outstanding immediately  prior  to  the  Effective Time  ($7.83  per  share  for
purposes  of  presentation  of  the pro  forma  financial  information),  (ii) a
fraction of a  share of  Common Stock  equal to the  quotient of  $0.30 and  the
Alliance Average Trading Price ($2.9 million in aggregate) and (iii) that number
of shares (or fractions thereof) of Preferred Stock having a value as determined
in  accordance  with  the  Merger  Agreement  equal  to  $11.40  less  the  Cash
Consideration of $7.83, or $3.57 per  share for purposes of presentation of  the
pro  forma financial  information ($35.0  million in  aggregate). The  price per
share of Common Stock used for  purposes of these Unaudited Pro Forma  Condensed
Combined Financial Statements is $4.88, based on the closing price of the Common
Stock  as reported  on the NASDAQ  NMS on April  1, 1996. The  assumed price per
share of  the $5.0  million Private  Placement is  $4.56, based  on the  average
trading  price of the Common  Stock for the five  trading day period immediately
preceding  the  Private  Placement  agreement.  See  "The  Merger  and   Related
Financings."
 
    Foreign  taxes result  from the  income generated  by Wulff.  Domestic taxes
result from Federal consolidated Alternative  Minimum Taxes and state and  local
income taxes.
 
    The  Rainbow Casino  in Vicksburg  began operations  in July  1994. In March
1995, Alliance completed its acquisition of the general partnership interest  in
the  limited  partnership owning  the  casino and  from  that point  forward the
Rainbow Casino's operations have been  consolidated with those of Alliance.  The
Rainbow Casino's operating results have been included in the Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Statements of Operations as if it was owned for each period presented.
 
    Certain  reclassifications of BGII balances have been made to conform to the
Alliance reporting format.
 
    The following adjustments  have been  made to  arrive at  the Unaudited  Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information:
 
    2.   PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED  BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENTS AT DECEMBER 31,
1995
 
        (a) To adjust for the net cash proceeds of the Offerings and the Private
    Placement, less estimated fees and  expenses which have been capitalized  in
    the  case of the Note and Preferred  Stock Offerings, and netted against the
    gross proceeds in  the case  of the Common  Stock Offering  and the  Private
    Placement.
 
        (b)  To adjust for the  repayment of $70.7 million  of BGII debt as such
    instruments are intended  to be repaid  with the proceeds  of the  Offerings
    including  the remaining original issue  discount and other costs associated
    with the prepayment of  the BGII debt  totaling $0.8 million.  Additionally,
    certain  deferred financing  costs related  to the  BGII debt  totaling $0.5
    million will be written off.

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

        The compensation to be  paid to BGII personnel consists of cash  payable
    to Messrs. Gillman and Jenkins totaling $5.8 million and Common Stock valued
    at  $0.5 million (the number of shares will be determined using the Alliance
    Average Trading Price but in  no event more than  $6.00 nor less than  $4.25
    per  share). As each  of the above  individuals will not  be employed by the
    Company after the Merger, such costs  have been included in the  computation
    of goodwill.
 
         Consideration to be paid  to Messrs. Kloss and Conover consists of $1.7
    million in cash and $3.5 million of Common Stock (the number of shares  will
    be  determined using the Alliance Average Trading Price but in no event more
    than $6.00 nor less than $4.25 per share). As Messrs. Kloss and Conover will
    remain with the  Company, such  amounts have  been capitalized  and will  be
    amortized  over  the  2.5  and  1 year  life  of  each  of  their employment
    agreements, respectively. These  transactions have  been given  simultaneous
    effect  in the Unaudited  Pro Forma Condensed  Combined Financial Statements
    since they are conditions of the Merger Agreement.
 
        The allocation of purchase cost in the pro forma financial statements is
    based on available information. After  consummation of the Merger,  Alliance
    will  arrange  for  independent  appraisal  of  the  significant  assets and
    liabilities  of  BGII  to  determine   the  final  allocation  of   purchase
    cost. Alliance management does not currently believe that any adjustments to
    the  final allocation of purchase  price will have a  material effect on the
    pro forma financial statements.
 
        (d) To add  back the $1.5  million valuation adjustment  net of the  tax
    effect   of  $0.8  million,  for   the  Alliance-owned  BGII  common  stock,
    representing the difference between the  purchase cost of $10.4 million  and
    the market value at December 31, 1995 of $8.3 million.
 
        (e) To record the payment of certain Merger and related expenses assumed
    to be incurred prior to and concurrent with the pro forma balance sheet date
    totaling  $10.0  million  of which  $3.2  million  has been  accrued  for at
    December 31, 1995.

        (f)  To recognize operations of  the Rainbow Casino as  if owned for the
    entire year.
 
        (g) Alliance development expenses, which relate to mergers, acquisitions
    and joint ventures, were  reduced to $3.0 million  annually resulting in  an
    adjustment of $3.2 million. Such adjustment does not include any effect from
    the  elimination of direct  costs related to the  Merger shown separately in
    (i) below. The reduction to $3.0  million reflects the elimination of  costs
    that were being incurred prior to Alliance's accomplishment of its strategic
    plan  to acquire a major gaming machine manufacturing company. To accomplish
    this reduction Alliance reduced payroll  costs and fees paid to  consultants
    and legal costs related to non-BGII transactions it had been pursuing.

    elimination  of the  interest on the  BGII debt being  refinanced. For every
    0.50% change in the interest rate for the $75.0 million debt financing,  the
    correlating change in interest expense for the year would be $0.4 million on
    a pre-tax basis.
 
        (n)  To  adjust for  the costs  associated  with BGII's  debt prepayment

    period  ended  December  31,  1994,  Alliance  exceeded  this  $3.0  million
    annualized amount by $2.0 million, but  in the most recent six-month  period
    ended  December 31, 1995  Alliance was below this  annualized amount by $0.2

    investment  banking  fees  and  related costs.  No  such  merger  costs were
    incurred by either company in the six-month period ended December 31, 1994.

    5.  SUPPLEMENTAL PRO  FORMA  CONDENSED  COMBINED  STATEMENTS  OF  OPERATIONS
        ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
    Alliance  management believes that it is  useful to present an unaudited pro
forma statement  of operations  for the  most recent  twelve-month period  ended
December  31, 1995  in addition  to those already  presented because  it is more
representative of the  Company's current operations.  This presentation  assumes
that  the Transaction occurred on January 1, 1995. All relevant adjustments have
been presented consistent with the Pro Forma Adjustments noted above.
 
        (y) To recognize operations  of the Rainbow Casino  as if owned for  the
    entire year.
 
        (z) Alliance development expenses, which relate to mergers, acquisitions
    and  joint ventures, were  reduced to $3.0 million  annually, resulting in a
    cost reduction on  a pro forma  basis of $1.0  million for the  twelve-month
    period  ended December 31, 1995. The development expenses exceeded this $3.0
    million annual amount during the first six-month period ended June 30,  1995
    by $1.2 million; however, development expenses were below this annual amount
    during  the six month  period ended December  31, 1995 by  $0.2 million. The
    elimination of direct  costs related to  the Merger is  shown separately  in
    (bb) below.
 
       (aa)  To adjust  for synergy  cost savings  identified to  date including
    elimination  of  certain  duplicative   costs,  such  as  facility,   legal,
    accounting  and compensation, which  total approximately $5.0  million on an
    annual basis.
 
       (bb) To eliminate costs associated  with the Merger incurred by  Alliance

    Kloss and Conover's existing employment contracts with BGII over the life of
    their respective employment contracts.
 
       (ee)  To  eliminate  the  amortization  of  goodwill  on  the  historical
    financial statements of BGII.
 
        (ff)  To adjust for  the interest expense  on the $75.0  million of debt
    which Alliance currently  plans to  issue as part  of the  financing of  the
    Merger,  and to amortize  the debt issuance  costs over 7  years, net of the
    elimination of the interest on the BGII debt being refinanced.
 
       (gg) To adjust for the costs associated with the BGII debt consisting  of
    the  original issue discount, prepayment  costs and deferred financing costs

    7.  SUPPLEMENTAL PRO FORMA INFORMATION
 
    Additional supplemental information  regarding cash flow  and fixed  charges
has been presented with adjustments consistent with those shown in the pro forma
operating  results. The earnings required to  cover the Preferred Stock dividend
fixed charge have been  presented excluding the effects  of income taxes due  to
the fact that the pro forma results of operations reflect losses from continuing
operations,   resulting  in  a  computed  effective  tax  rate  from  continuing
operations that is not meaningful.

                            SUPPLEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF
                          ADJUSTED OPERATING CASH FLOW
 
    The Company  believes that  it  is important  to present  supplementally  an
analysis of its Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, given the pro forma leverage ratio
of  the Company. Reference should  be made to the  Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial  Information  presented  elsewhere  herein.  The  information
presented in the following schedule is being provided solely for the purposes of
assisting a prospective investor in making an investment decision.
 
    The  Company  believes that  this  information is  a  useful adjunct  to net
income, cash  flows  and other  GAAP  measurements. However,  this  supplemental
information should not be construed as an alternative to net income or any other
GAAP  measure of performance as an indicator  of the Company's performance or to
GAAP-defined  cash  flows  generated  by  operating,  investing  and   financing
activities as an indicator of cash flows or a measure of liquidity.
 
    Alliance  management  has made  certain adjustments  to EBITDA  resulting in
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow. As is more fully described below, such adjustments
consist of the elimination of certain charges that management has determined  to
be  one-time or unusual, as well as  adjustments made to reflect the most recent
operating results of the Rainbow Casino by annualizing the most recent six month
operating results (seasonally adjusted), and presenting such results as if  they
had  occurred  for each  period presented.  The concept  of one-time  or unusual
charges is  not  defined  in  GAAP.  In  making  these  adjustments,  management
considered  non-recurring revenue items as  well as non-recurring expense items.
There can be  no assurance  that other  unusual charges  will not  occur in  the
future.

</TABLE>
 
    The  above  supplemental analysis  should be  read  in conjunction  with the
Unaudited Pro  Forma  Condensed Combined  Financial  Information and  the  notes
thereto.  In this  regard, for the  year ended  June 30, 1995  the Company's pro
forma excess of earnings to  fixed charges was $2.6  million, and the pro  forma
deficit of earnings to fixed charges after the Preferred Stock dividend was $5.2
million.  The Company's  pro forma  deficit of  earnings to  fixed charges, both
before   and   after   the   Preferred   Stock   dividend,   for   the    twelve
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
months ended December 31, 1995 was $0.7 million, and $8.5 million, respectively.
The  Company's pro forma deficit  of earnings to fixed  charges, both before and
after the Preferred Stock dividend, for the six-month period ended December  31,
1994  was $1.2 million  and $5.0 million, respectively.  The Company's pro forma
deficit of earnings to fixed charges, both before and after the Preferred  Stock
dividend,  for the six-month period ended December 31, 1995 was $4.5 million and
$8.3 million, respectively.
 
    The direct Merger costs  have been reclassified  and presented in  computing
the  separate company Adjusted Operating Cash  Flow, as management believes that
such presentation  provides additional  relevant  information to  the  potential
purchasers  of the Company's securities,  after eliminating direct costs related
to the Merger.
 
    DIRECT MERGER COSTS.   Both  Alliance and  BGII have  incurred direct  costs
related  to the Merger  consisting of legal,  accounting, and investment banking
fees and related  costs. For Alliance,  such costs totalled  $1.7 million,  $9.4
million and $11.1 million for the year ended June 30, 1995, the six months ended
December  31, 1995 and the twelve-months  ended December 31, 1995, respectively.
BGII's direct costs incurred relating to the Merger totalled $0.2 million,  $1.8
million  and $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 1995, the six months ended
December 31, 1995 and the twelve months ended December 31, 1995, respectively.
 
    The adjustments which were made in determining the supplemental analysis  of
Adjusted  Operating  Cash  Flow,  which were  not  considered  in  the preceding
Unaudited Pro  Forma Condensed  Combined Statements  of Operations  reflect  the
following:
 
    RAINBOW  OPERATIONS.   The final  elements of  the Rainbow  Casino facility,
consisting of an 89-room motel and an  amusement park and the completion of  the
casino  exterior  decor, parking,  landscaping and  signage, were  not completed
until July  1995,  although the  Rainbow  Casino  had been  open  without  these
amenities  since  July 1994.  Therefore  Alliance management  believes  that the
results of  operations  for  the  six  months  ended  December  31,  1995  after
considering  seasonality  (which  was  immaterial) are  more  reflective  of the
property's ongoing results  of operations. Accordingly,  such results have  been
annualized  based  on the  actual  financial results  for  the six  months ended
December 31,  1995, as  Alliance management  believes that  such results  better
portray  the Rainbow Casino's contribution to Adjusted Operating Cash Flow. This
annualization  involves  forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks   and
uncertainties,  including the  risks of  competition, gaming  regulation and the
other risks detailed in this Prospectus, including under "Risk Factors."
 
    BGII ONE-TIME COSTS.   Certain  charges incurred  by BGII  consist of  costs
relating  to  a  regulatory  investigation and  legal  proceedings  in Louisiana
totalling $1.0 million, legal costs related to a former executive totaling  $0.5
million,  and legal costs related to the "Bally" trade name litigation that were
directly caused by  the investigation  totaling $0.2 million  during the  fiscal
year  ended June  30, 1995. For  the six  months ended December  31, 1994, these
charges consisted of legal costs relating to Louisiana of $0.3 million and legal
costs related to a former executive of $0.5 million. Results for the six  months
ended  December 31, 1995 were  adjusted for charges consisting  of a reserve for
German VAT taxes and  the write-down of  a building in  Germany, which had  been
acquired  in the purchase of  a distributor and never used  by Wulff, to its net
realizable value in anticipation of its sale, totalling $1.8 million, as well as
to adjust for legal costs relating to Louisiana of $0.7 million. During the year
ended December  31,  1995,  legal  costs relating  to  Louisiana  totalled  $1.4
million,  legal costs related to the  "Bally" trade name litigation totaled $0.2
million, and charges in Germany were $1.8 million. Such costs are considered  to
be non-recurring.
 
    During  the  year  ended  December  31, 1995,  BGII  entered  into  a merger
agreement with WMS,  which was ultimately  terminated to enter  into the  Merger
Agreement  with Alliance. Based on management's assessment and allocation of the
total costs incurred  for both  the WMS  and Alliance  merger transactions,  the
one-time  costs related to  the WMS transaction were  $0.2 million, $1.8 million
and $2.0 million for the fiscal year  ended June 30, 1995, the six months  ended
December 31, 1995 and the twelve months ended December 31, 1995, respectively.
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
    ALLIANCE  ONE-TIME COSTS.  One-time charges  incurred by Alliance consist of
an executive signing bonus of $1.3 million paid in Common Stock and $1.1 million
of termination costs for certain  directors. These charges were incurred  during
the  quarter ended June 30, 1995 and  are therefore included as adjustments only
for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995.
 
    SYNERGY COST SAVINGS.  Although management cannot precisely quantify  future
savings,  the Company has identified and expects to realize synergy cost savings
of approximately  $5.0  million  on  an  annual  basis  (primarily  through  the
reduction  of  duplicative  costs,  such  as  facility,  legal,  accounting  and
compensation costs) as a  result of the Merger.  The Company further expects  to
incur  approximately $1.0 million in  one-time implementation costs in realizing
these savings, which expenditures have been added back in arriving at the  above
supplemental analysis.

         FORECAST OF OPERATING INCOME AND ADJUSTED OPERATING CASH FLOW
 
    The  following Forecast of Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow
(the "Forecast") is based on the  expected combined operating data for  Alliance
and  BGII for the twelve-month  period ending December 31,  1996, to the best of
management's knowledge  and  belief. The  Forecast  is based  on  the  Company's
current  best  estimates of  expected results  given the  forecasted assumptions
described in the Summary of Significant Assumptions and Accounting Policies  for
the  Forecast  for  the  period  presented.  The  Forecast,  which  consists  of
forward-looking statements, is qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions set
forth below and the other information  contained in this Prospectus, and  should
be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Summary  of  Significant  Assumptions  and
Accounting Policies  for  the Forecast  as  well  as the  "Unaudited  Pro  Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Information," "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of  Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the audited and unaudited
historical consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  notes  thereto  of
Alliance and BGII included elsewhere herein.
 
    The  Company does not intend  to update or otherwise  revise the Forecast to
reflect events  or circumstances  existing or  arising after  the date  of  this
Prospectus  or  to  reflect  the  occurrence  of  unanticipated  events.  BGII's
independent accountants, Coopers  & Lybrand  L.L.P., have  neither examined  nor
compiled  nor had any other involvement with the preparation of the Forecast and
accordingly do  not express  an opinion  or  any other  form of  assurance  with
respect  thereto,  nor  do  they assume  any  responsibility  for  the Forecast.
Independent accountants for Alliance, KPMG  Peat Marwick LLP, have not  examined
the Forecast presented herein and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any
other  form of assurance  with respect thereto, and  no other independent expert
has examined the Forecast.
 
    The Forecast is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that  while
presented  with numerical specificity and considered reasonable by management of
the  Company,  are  inherently   subject  to  significant  business,   economic,
competitive,  regulatory and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which
are difficult  to predict  and  many of  which are  beyond  the control  of  the
Company.  The assumptions disclosed  herein are those  that the Company believes
are significant to  the Forecast and  reflects management's judgment  as of  the
date  hereof.  The Forecast  is  necessarily speculative  in  nature, and  it is
usually the  case  that one  or  more of  the  assumptions do  not  materialize.
However,  not all assumptions used in the  preparation of the Forecast have been
set forth herein. In addition, as  disclosed elsewhere in this Prospectus  under
"Risk  Factors",  the business  and  operations of  the  Company are  subject to
substantial risks which increase the uncertainty inherent in the Forecast.  Many
of  the factors  disclosed under "Risk  Factors" in this  Prospectus could cause
actual results to differ  materially from those expressed  in the Forecast.  The
Forecast  and actual  results will vary,  and those variations  may be material.
Accordingly, the inclusion of  the Forecast herein should  not be regarded as  a
representation  by the Company or any  other person (including the Underwriters)
that the Forecast  will be  achieved. The Forecast  is provided  solely for  the
purposes  of assisting a prospective investor  in making an investment decision,
and not  for  purposes of  assessing  equity value.  Prospective  investors  are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Forecast.
 
    The  Company was the  sole preparer of  the Forecast, which  was prepared in
accordance with guidelines  established by the  American Institute of  Certified
Public  Accountants,  except  that  it  combines Alliance  and  BGII  as  if the
Transaction had occurred  and it  omits the disclosure  of non-operating  items,
income  taxes,  extraordinary  items,  net  income  and  significant  changes in
financial position.
 
    The Forecast indicates  Operating Income and  Adjusted Operating Cash  Flow,
but  it  may  not fully  reflect  the  Company's ability  to  pay  cash interest
requirements  because  it   does  not   reflect  other   cash  obligations   and
requirements,  such as mandatory payments on  debt principal and preferred stock
redemptions and  dividends,  and  operating  requirements  relating  to  capital
maintenance  and expansion. Because the Forecast has been prepared on a combined
basis,  the  Forecast  does  not  account  for  the  Company's  holding  company
structure,  which will result in cash flows earned at certain subsidiaries being
unavailable for distribution to the Company.

                ASSUMPTIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE FORECAST
                FOR THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
NOTE 1. -- INTRODUCTION
    The Forecast of Operating  Income and Adjusted Operating  Cash Flow for  the
twelve-month  period  ending  December  31, 1996  and  the  accompanying related
Summary of Significant  Assumptions and Accounting  Policies of Alliance  Gaming
Corporation  and subsidiaries, after consummation  of the Transaction, represent
the Company's best estimate as of the  date of the Forecast of Operating  Income
and  Adjusted Operating Cash Flow of the  Company for the first twelve months of
combined operations (after elimination of all significant intercompany  accounts
and transactions). The Forecast reflects management's judgment, based on present
circumstances,  of the expected set of  conditions and their expected courses of
action, to the extent  such conditions or action  are anticipated to affect  the
results described in the Forecast.
 
    The  assumptions  described herein  are those  that management  believes are
significant to the Forecast or are the key factors upon which the results  shown
in  the Forecast depend. However, not all assumptions used in the preparation of
the forecast have been  set forth herein. The  estimates and assumptions,  which
though  considered  reasonable  by  management  may  not  be  achieved  and  are
inherently subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, including possible competitive responses,  many
of  which are  not within  the control of  the Company  and are  not possible to
assess accurately. Therefore,  the actual results  achieved during the  forecast
period will vary from those set forth in the Forecast, and the variations may be
material. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
Forecast.
 
    The  Forecast  assumes that,  among other  things: (i)  the proceeds  of the
Offerings and  the  Private  Placement  are used  as  contemplated  in  "Use  of
Proceeds;"  (ii)  there  will  be no  change  in  generally  accepted accounting
principles that may have a direct material effect on the reporting of  financial
results  of the  Company; and (iii)  there will  be no material  changes made to
gaming regulations that would affect  the operations of the Company.  Management
believes that these assumptions, when taken together with management's extensive
experience in operating in such markets, provide a reasonably objective basis to
forecast the Company's operations for the period presented.
 
    The  Company does not intend  to update or otherwise  revise the Forecast to
reflect events or circumstances existing or arising after the date hereof or  to
reflect  the occurrence of unanticipated events. The Forecast is provided solely
for the purposes  of assisting a  prospective investor in  making an  investment
decision, and not for the purposes of assessing equity value.
 
    For  a discussion of significant accounting policies see Note 1 of the Notes
to the Alliance audited  consolidated financial statements  and the "Summary  of
Significant  Accounting Policies" of the notes  to the BGII audited consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
NOTE 2. -- PRESENTATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL COMPARATIVE INFORMATION
    For  the  purpose  of  assisting  investors  in  evaluating  the  forecasted
information,   the  Company  has  presented   a  Comparative  Analysis  for  the
twelve-month periods  ended  December  31,  1994  and  1995.  The  Statement  of
Operations  Information in the Comparative Analysis  for the twelve months ended
December 31,  1995 has  been  derived from  the  Company's Unaudited  Pro  Forma
Condensed  Combined Statements of Operations and the Supplemental Information in
the Comparative Analysis for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 has  been
derived  from the Supplemental Analysis of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow included
elsewhere herein. The Comparative Analysis for the twelve months ended  December
31, 1994 has been derived using accounting principles and assumptions consistent
with those used in deriving the Comparative Analysis for the twelve months ended
December  31, 1995,  and includes adjustments  for the planned  reduction of the
Company's ongoing development costs  to $3.0 million per  year, resulting in  an
adjustment for such period of $4.7 million, certain synergy cost savings (net of
one-time  implementation costs) and one-time  charges totaling $2.8 million, and
assumes that the Rainbow Casino  was owned since its  opening in July 1994.  The
Comparative  Analysis presented for the  twelve-month periods ended December 31,
1994 and 1995  has been prepared  by management to  provide potential  investors
with  additional information to analyze the Forecast and should not be construed
as a presentation of actual historical results

Financial  Information," "Supplemental Analysis of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow"
and the audited and unaudited  historical consolidated financial statements  and
related  notes thereto of Alliance and  BGII included elsewhere herein should be
read for additional information.
 
NOTE 3. -- OPERATING ASSUMPTIONS
    The assumptions  disclosed herein  are those  that management  believes  are
significant  to the Forecast.  There will be  differences between forecasted and
actual results,  because events  and circumstances  frequently do  not occur  as
expected, and those differences may be material.

GAMING MACHINE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
 
    NEVADA
 
    In  its Nevada gaming machine management operations, Alliance selects, owns,
installs, manages and  services gaming devices  (approximately 5,250 devices  at
December  31, 1995) in  third-party owned local  establishments such as taverns,
restaurants, supermarkets, drug stores and convenience stores (approximately 520
locations at December 31, 1995).
 
    The Company  has  agreements  with  local  bars,  taverns,  restaurants  and
convenience  stores  for either  space  leases or  revenue-sharing arrangements.
Under the revenue-sharing arrangements, the Company shares the revenues from the
machines with the location  operator, and with space  leases the Company pays  a
fixed rental to the owner of the establishment and then the Company receives all
of  the revenues  derived from  the gaming  devices. At  December 31,  1995, the
weighted average remaining  term of the  Company's revenue-sharing  arrangements
was approximately 3.9 years, and for space leases was approximately 2.9 years.

</TABLE>
 
    Gaming  machine management revenues are a  function of the average number of
machines installed, times  the average  net win  per machine.  The revenues  are
assumed  to increase due  to the increase  in the number  of Alliance's machines
installed,  which  reflects  increased  demand   caused  in  part  by   Nevada's
significant  population growth trend. The Forecast assumes the renewal of 80% of
the contracts expiring during the forecast  period which the Company intends  to
retain.  For the  year ended  June 30, 1995,  the Company  did not  renew 17% of
expiring agreements,  including those  the Company  had determined  to allow  to
lapse.
 
    Additionally,  in December 1995, the Company implemented the Gambler's Bonus
cardless slot player's club and player tracking system. The Company assumes, for
the purpose of this Forecast, that there  will be 88 locations, or an  aggregate
of  980 machines, installed at June 1996,  increasing to 130 locations, or 1,490
machines, at  December 1996.  Consistent with  results of  previously  installed
machines  linked to Gambler's Bonus, the Forecast  assumes that there will be an
increase in the average net win per machine at these locations. Consistent  with
contracts  signed  to date,  the Forecast  assumes that  the contracts  with the
additional locations  will allow  the Company  to receive  a percentage  of  the
increased gaming win generated

by Gambler's Bonus in addition to its existing revenue participation. Forecasted
results  of  the  Nevada  gaming  operations  are  directly  dependent  upon the
realization of  these  assumptions. Variations  from  the realization  of  these
assumptions will have a material effect upon the forecasted results.
 
    The  Forecast assumes that  the Nevada gaming  machine management operations
costs and expenses  (which include  selling, general  and administrative  costs)
related  to gaming machine  management are relatively stable  as a percentage of
revenues as compared to the 1995 levels.
 
    LOUISIANA
 
    VSI operates video poker  devices in the greater  New Orleans area under  an
exclusive  agreement with the owner of  the only full service thoroughbred horse
racing facility and  its 10 associated  OTBs. The tenth  OTB location opened  in
Metairie,  Louisiana in October  1995, bringing the total  number of machines in
operation to approximately 700 (which is the assumed number of machines for  the
forecasted  period). Only the operator of the full service horse racing facility
may own OTBs.

    Revenues are assumed to increase as a result of the full year impact of  the
Metairie OTB location completed in October 1995.
 
    The  Forecast  assumes  that  the  statute  that  permits  the  operation of
unlimited numbers of video poker devices in pari-mutuel horse racing tracks  and
the  associated  OTB's  is  not  adversely  amended  in  the  current  Louisiana
legislature session  or  changed by  referendum.  See "Risk  Factors  --  Strict
Regulation  by Gaming Authorities."  Forecasted results of  the Louisiana gaming
operations are directly  dependent upon  the assumption  concerning the  pending
legislation.  An unfavorable  result in  legislation or  referendum will  have a
material adverse effect upon the forecasted results.
 
    Pursuant to the terms  of the VSI  Loan (as defined), VSI  may not pay  cash
dividends  or make  any distribution  of its  property. The  loan, which  had an
outstanding balance of $3.4  million at December  31, 1995, amortizes  quarterly
until  due in  full in  September 1998 and  may be  prepaid at  any time without
penalty. See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis  of Financial Condition  and
Results of Operations."
 
    The  Forecast assumes  that costs  related to  operation of  the video poker
devices in the  greater New  Orleans area  (which include  selling, general  and
administrative  costs)  are relatively  stable as  a  percentage of  revenues as
compared to the 1995 levels.

    Total revenues include food and beverage sales, which are assumed to  remain
relatively stable compared to 1995; however, the food and beverage sales provide
only minimal gross profit.
 
    The  Forecast assumes that total revenues will experience a 4% increase from
the previous year. Management assumes that the Sparks, Nevada gaming market will
increase by 3% in 1996  compared to 5% growth for  calendar 1995 as reported  by
the  Nevada Gaming  Control Board. In  addition, because the  negative impact on
Plantation Station of  a major street,  sidewalk, and landscaping  redevelopment
project  by the City of Sparks ended in December 1995, the Forecast assumes that
revenues will increase  in 1996.  Forecasted results of  the Plantation  Station
operations  are directly  dependent upon  the realization  of these assumptions.
Variations  from  these  assumptions  will  have  a  material  effect  upon  the
forecasted results.
 
    Management  also  assumes  that the  cost  of operations  at  the Plantation
Station will remain stable as a percentage of total revenues as compared to  the
1995 levels.

- ------------------------
(a) The  information for 1994 and 1995  represents the historical results of the
    Rainbow Casino, which  opened in  July 1994  and was  not consolidated  with
    Alliance until March 1995.
 
    The  total gaming  market for the  Vicksburg Mississippi area  is assumed to
increase 5% to approximately $200 million for 1996. Management assumes that  its
location  at Vicksburg  Landing and the  adjoining amenities  enable the Rainbow
Casino to attract visitors from the existing tourism market of the historic city
of Vicksburg as well  as a significant  share of the  local market. The  Rainbow
Casino  market share is assumed  to remain at its current  18% level which is up
from  13%  prior  to  the  opening  of  the  Days  Inn  Hotel,  the   Funtricity
Entertainment  Center  and  the restaurant  in  July  1995. Both  the  hotel and
entertainment  park  are  operated  by  third  parties.  Forecasted  results  of
Mississippi  gaming operations  are directly  dependent upon  the realization of
these assumptions. Variations from these assumptions will have a material effect
upon forecasted results.
 
    The costs  and expenses  are assumed  to remain  stable as  a percentage  of
gaming revenues as compared to the 1995 levels.
 
NET EQUIPMENT SALES
 
    Forecasted  net equipment sales revenues includes the operating results from
Gaming, Systems and Wulff. There are numerous factors which affect any  forecast
of net gaming equipment sales, including gaming regulatory factors and casino or
arcade  patron preferences. The  impact of such  factors on the  Company will be
material.
 
    GAMING
 
    Net equipment sales reflect the sales of video and reel-type gaming machines
to casinos in various  jurisdictions, including casinos  in Nevada and  Atlantic
City,  riverboats,  Native  American  casinos,  and  international  markets. Net
equipment sales is  a function of  the number of  unit sales and  the net  sales
price  per unit. Gaming results include GmbH and BGI Australia Pty Limited along
with certain reclassifications from historical presentation.

</TABLE>
 
    Although worldwide  electronic gaming  machine  sales (for  these  purposes,
primarily  slot and video  machines) decreased in  1995, management assumes that
1996 worldwide gaming machine sales will increase as a result of (1) three major
casino openings in Las Vegas, (2)  the opening of Indiana riverboat casinos  and
(3)  the  expansion  of certain  other  markets  and the  increasing  demand for
replacement machines.  However,  particularly  in the  case  of  non-traditional
gaming  markets, the timing and magnitude  of electronic gaming machine sales is
difficult to predict with accuracy.  The Forecast assumes a relatively  constant
market  share during  the forecast period  while Gaming's share  during the past
three years has grown significantly.
 
    The Forecast assumes gross margin  increases during the forecast period  due
to  a 1.5% increase in  net unit price, continued  reduction in the new material
cost per unit (although  at a lower  rate than experienced  during the past  two
years)  and improved manufacturing efficiencies as a result of higher production
levels during the forecast period than during the year ended December 31,  1995.
Gaming's   forecasted  operating   results  are  directly   dependent  upon  the
realization of  these assumptions.  The Forecast  assumes selling,  general  and
administrative   expenses  will  increase  as  a  result  of  increased  product
development and sales  efforts. Variations  from these assumptions  will have  a
material  effect  upon forecasted  results.  As Gaming's  manufacturing overhead
costs and selling,  general and  administrative expenses  are relatively  fixed,
variances from the forecasted unit sales impact margins to a greater extent than
if such costs were predominantly variable.
 
    SYSTEMS
 
    Systems'  revenues  reflect  the  sales of  computer  hardware  and computer
software, as well  as maintenance and  upgrades of such  computer equipment,  to
casinos   in  various   jurisdictions,  including  Nevada   and  Atlantic  City,
riverboats, Native American casinos  and, to a  lesser extent, in  international
markets.  Hardware and  software sales are  based on the  contracts that Systems
enters into  with  each of  the  individual casinos.  Such  contracts  generally
reflect  pre-determined  prices  for  goods and  services  provided  by Systems.
Maintenance revenues are  generally a function  of the total  installed base  of
Systems' GMUs.

    Management  assumes  that  revenues  during  the  forecast  period  will  be
comparable  to  the  prior  year.  The  forecasted  net  revenues  assumes  that
approximately 40% of Systems' sales result from product upgrades and expansions.
The  Forecast assumes gross margin will  increase during the forecast period due
to lower average discounts off list-price primarily due to a change in  customer
mix  and the  absence of  a provision  for product  upgrades which  was recorded
during   the   year   ended   December   31,   1995.   The   forecast    assumes

selling,  general and  administrative expenses will  increase approximately 13%.
Systems'  forecasted  operating   results  are  directly   dependent  upon   the
realization  of these assumptions. Variations from these assumptions will have a
material  effect  upon  forecasted  results.  In  particular,  because  Systems'
revenues are concentrated in a relatively small number of customers, a change in
circumstantial delay or other change in a small number of orders will materially
impact Systems' operating results.
 
    WULFF
 
    Wulff  sales  reflect  the  sales  of  new  and  used  wall  machine  units,
third-party wall machines, pinball machines and other related amusement  devices
and  used equipment primarily in Germany to various arcades, taverns, hotels and
amusement galleries. Wulff's revenues are a function of the number of unit sales
and the sales price per unit.

</TABLE>
 
    The Forecast assumes that new wall machine revenues for the first six months
of  1996  will  be  adversely  affected  by  an  industry  down-turn  caused  by
regulations  imposed in Germany limiting the  number of wall machines per square
meter in  arcade locations  effective January  1, 1996,  thereby reducing  sales
opportunities.  The Forecast assumes demand for new wall machines to continue to
be lower during the first half of the forecast period than during the first half
of 1995, but to increase, and exceed the 1995 level of demand in the second half
of the forecast period principally due to the expected impact of new regulations
going into effect on January  1, 1997, which will  require all wall machines  in
use to have meters to monitor the amount inserted by players and paid out by the
machine.  There can be no assurance that the down-turn in the first half of 1996
will be less than the down-turn in the last half of 1995, nor that the down-turn
is solely  related to  the  regulatory change,  and, accordingly,  temporary  in
nature.  Further, there can be no  assurance that the forecasted positive impact
of the  1997  regulations will  be  realized or  that  demand will  increase  as
forecasted.
 
    The  Forecast assumes gross margin will  increase during the forecast period
due to lower raw  material costs per  unit partially offset  by a lower  average
price  per unit. Wulff's forecasted operating results will be directly dependent
upon the realization of these assumptions. The Forecast assumes selling, general
and administrative expenses will remain relatively constant. Variations from the
realization of these  assumptions will  have a material  effect upon  forecasted
results.  As  Wulff's  manufacturing  overhead costs  and  selling,  general and
administrative expenses  are relatively  fixed, variances  from forecasted  unit
sales  could  impact  margins  to  a greater  extent  than  if  such  costs were
predominantly variable.
 
OTHER OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES (ALL BUSINESS UNITS)
 
    The Forecast gives  effect to  assumed cost savings  as a  result of  Merger
synergies and further assumes a reduction in corporate development costs, all on
the  basis  reflected under  "Supplemental Analysis  of Adjusted  Operating Cash
Flow." In contrast to the actual  results presented in the Comparative  Analysis
for 1995, the Forecast assumes no charges will be incurred of the sort reflected
in the "Supplemental Analysis of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow" as "Other Unusual
or  Non-recurring Charges," although the concept  of one-time or unusual charges
is not  defined under  GAAP.  In developing  the Forecast,  management  included
anticipated  Merger costs for the forecast  period, and reviewed the Comparative
Analysis period for non-

NOTE 3. -- OPERATING ASSUMPTIONS (CONTINUED)
recurring revenue items  as well  as non-recurring expense  items. The  Forecast
assumes  that sales and distribution expense, research and development and Wulff
expenses  will  increase  by  $1.5  million,  $1.3  million  and  $1.5  million,
respectively,  over  1995  levels. The  forecast  of other  operating  costs and
expenses are particularly dependent upon the assumptions concerning synergy cost
savings and reduction  of corporate  development costs. There  is a  possibility
that  a variation  from the  assumed savings  may occur,  and the  effect may be
material. Assumptions for forecasted overhead levels and certain other  expenses
as  reflected  above (E.G.,  for  litigation costs)  may  be subject  to factors
substantially outside  of its  control,  to a  greater degree  than  assumptions
regarding its business units' revenues and cost of sales.
 
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
    Depreciation  and amortization  are expected  to continue  to be  charged to
earnings on substantially the  same basis as has  been done historically.  There
are no significant capital additions expected during the forecast period, nor is
there  any  expected  material  change to  depreciation  or  amortization rates.
Capital replacement is expected to continue during the year at a moderate  rate.
The Forecast also gives effect to expected increases in amortization of goodwill
and other assets resulting from the Merger.

    Management  believes that it has substantial discretion to reduce forecasted
levels of capital expenditures without materially reducing operating results for
the forecasted period, principally in the case of the Gaming Machine  Management
and  Casino expenditures. The significant capital expenditures in 1994 and 1995,
including upgrading the  Plantation Casino,  completing the  Rainbow Casino  and
upgrading  the Gaming Machine Management installed  base, are assumed to further
enhance  the  Company's  ability  to  reduce  1996  capital  expenditures  on  a
discretionary   basis.  Management  estimates  the   minimum  level  of  capital
expenditures for maintenance purposes is approximately $8.0 million.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
    The following discussion provides an assessment of the liquidity and capital
resources  of Alliance,  the pro  forma liquidity  and capital  resources of the
Company, and  the  results of  operations  of each  of  Alliance and  BGII.  The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements   of  Alliance  and   BGII,  and  the   unaudited  interim  condensed
consolidated financial statements of Alliance, in each case including the  notes
thereto, which are included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF ALLIANCE
 
    At  December  31,  1995,  Alliance  had  working  capital  of  approximately
$20,109,000, a decrease  of approximately  $11,637,000 from June  30, 1995.  The
decrease  in working  capital is  due in  part to  a decrease  in cash  and cash
equivalents which were used  to fund development  activities in connection  with
Alliance's  business strategy. As of December 31, 1995, Alliance had $29,468,000
in  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  securities  available  for  sale,  of   which
approximately  $7,000,000 is necessary to fund  ongoing gaming operations in the
ordinary course of business. At June  30, 1995, Alliance had working capital  of
approximately   $31,746,000  and  $37,414,000  in  cash,  cash  equivalents  and
securities available for sale.
 
    For the six months  ended December 31,  1995, Alliance incurred  development
costs  associated  with  pursuing  Alliance's  business  developmental  strategy
relating to mergers and acquisition  of approximately $10,737,000 consisting  of
$9,437,000  of  direct costs  incurred related  to the  Merger and  the previous
tender offer and consent solicitation by Alliance and $1,300,000 of salaries and
administrative costs of the mergers  and acquisitions unit. During fiscal  1995,
Alliance  incurred approximately $7,843,000 in  expenses associated with pursuit
of Alliance's  business strategy,  of which  $1,669,000 related  to the  Merger.
Alliance's  business  strategy  is  to  use  its  strengthened  management team,
diversified gaming expertise and business and investment community relationships
to develop  new  opportunities in  the  operation of  land-based,  dockside  and
riverboat  casinos  (including  Native  American  casinos),  gaming  systems and
technology and the supply and management of electronic gaming machines.
 
    On July  16,  1994 the  Rainbow  Casino located  in  Vicksburg,  Mississippi
permanently opened for business. In connection with the completion of the casino
and  the acquisition of  its original 45% limited  partnership interest in RCVP,
the partnership  which  owns  the casino,  through  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Alliance  funded  a $3,250,000  advance to  the  Rainbow Casino  Corporation, an
unaffiliated Mississippi  corporation  ("RCC"),  on  the  same  terms  as  RCC's
financing  from Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc. ("HFS") (other than the fact
that such advance is subordinate to payments due to HFS and the HFS financing is
secured).
 
    The HFS financing  provided to RCC  on August  3, 1993 consisted  of a  $7.5
million  loan secured  by a  first priority  lien on  all of  the assets  of the
project. The terms  of the HFS  financing provide that,  in connection with  the
loan  and certain marketing services provided by HFS to RCC, RCC will pay to HFS
a royalty based upon  the casino's annual  gross gaming revenues  of 12% on  the
first  $40  million,  11% on  the  next  $10 million,  and  10%  thereafter. See
"Business--Casino Operations."
 
    On  March  29,  1995,  Alliance  consummated  certain  transactions  whereby
Alliance  acquired from RCC the controlling general partnership interest in RCVP
and increased its limited partnership  interest. In exchange for commitments  by
Alliance and National Gaming Mississippi, Inc. ("NGM"), a subsidiary of National
Gaming  Corporation,  to  provide  additional  financing  (up  to  a  maximum of
$2,000,000 each) to be used, among  other things, for the completion of  certain
elements  of the project which survived the opening of the casino (for which RCC
was to have been responsible, but failed to satisfy) and for a $500,000  payment
paid  to HFS as  a waiver fee, a  commitment by Alliance  to fund any additional
capital necessary  for  the completion,  upgrading  or working  capital  of  the
project, the following occurred: (i) a subsidiary of Alliance became the general
partner  and RCC  became the  limited partner  of RCVP  and (ii)  the respective
partnership  interests  were  adjusted.  As   of  December  31,  1995,   amounts
outstanding  under the HFS  facility and the  related financings aggregated $9.7
million. As  adjusted, RCC  is entitled  to  receive 10%  of the  net  available
 
                                       62
<PAGE>
cash flows (which amount shall increase to 20% of cash flow from gaming revenues
above  $35,000,000 (i.e. only on  such incremental amount)), for  a period of 15
years, such period being subject to one year extensions for each year in which a
minimum payment of $50,000  is not made. In  addition, if during any  continuous
12-month  period until December  31, 1999 the casino  achieves earnings from the
project of at least $10.5  million before deducting depreciation,  amortization,
certain  debt  payments  and  substantially all  taxes,  then  Alliance  will be
obligated to pay  to certain principals  of the original  partnership an  amount
aggregating  $1 million in cash or shares  of Common Stock. Since March 29, 1995
the results of operations of the Rainbow Casino have been consolidated.
 
    Alliance and Casino  Magic Corporation,  through wholly-owned  subsidiaries,
are  members in KGP and  KFP, both Kansas limited  liability companies. Under an
option agreement (the  "Option Agreement") granted  to KGP by  Camptown and  The
Racing  Association of Kansas-Southeast ("TRAK Southeast"), KGP has been granted
the exclusive  right, which  right expires  on September  13, 2013,  to  operate
gaming  machines  and/or casino-type  gaming  at Camptown's  racing  facility in
Frontenac, Kansas if and  when such gaming is  permitted in Kansas. In  December
1994,  Camptown  received  a  $3,205,000  loan  from  Boatmen's  Bank  which was
guaranteed  by  KFP.  Alliance  and  Casino  Magic  Corporation  each   invested
$1,580,000  in KFP which amounts  were used by KFP  to purchase a certificate of
deposit  to  collateralize  its  guaranty.  Construction  of  Camptown's  racing
facility  has been completed and  the facility opened for  business in May 1995.
The racing  facility was  temporarily closed  on November  5, 1995  due to  poor
financial  results. Camptown  filed for reorganization  under Chapter  11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code in January 1996 and has stated its intention to reopen  for
business following bankruptcy reorganization. Boatmen's Bank demanded payment of
the  Camptown loan from KFP  under the terms of the  guaranty. KFP paid the loan
and Boatmen's  Bank  returned  KFP's  certificate of  deposit  and  KFP  assumed
Boatmen's  Bank's position in the loan to  Camptown which is secured by a second
mortgage on  Camptown's greyhound  racing facility  in Frontenac,  Kansas.  TRAK
Southeast and Camptown continue to be bound by the Option Agreement. KFP intends
to  vigorously pursue all  of its rights  and remedies which  may include, among
other things,  seeking  authority  from  the  bankruptcy  court  to  commence  a
foreclosure  action. In the case of a  foreclosure action, KFP would be required
to assume or pay the existing first mortgage of approximately $2,000,000 if  KFP
becomes  the purchaser at any such sale. Alliance intends to continue to monitor
its investment in KFP. The Kansas legislature has considered gaming bills during
the 1996  session although  none have  passed. There  can be  no assurance  that
gaming of any type will ever be legalized in Kansas.
 
    In   March  1992,   Alfred  H.  Wilms   committed  to  provide   to  VSI,  a
majority-controlled subsidiary of Alliance,  a subordinated loan  of up to  $6.5
million  dollars (the "VSI Loan"). The VSI Loan, as amended, bears interest at a
rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate for a period of ninety days plus
2%, payable quarterly, and is due on September 21, 1998. The VSI Loan is secured
by liens in favor of N.V. Continental Trust Company ("CTC"), an affiliate of Mr.
Wilms, on substantially all of  VSI's assets. Pursuant to  the terms of the  VSI
Loan,  VSI may not pay cash dividends  or make any distribution of its property.
Alliance also  issued to  Mr. Wilms  warrants to  purchase 2,000,000  shares  of
Common  Stock at $2.50  per share in  connection with such  loan which expire on
September 1, 1998 (the "Wilms Warrants"). As of December 31, 1995, there was  an
outstanding balance of $3.4 million on this loan. See "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions."
 
    Cash  provided  by operations  for the  six months  ended December  31, 1995
decreased by approximately $1,588,000 from amounts reported for the same  period
in  1994. The  change is  primarily due to  an increase  in business development
costs over the same period from the prior year of $7,229,000, primarily  related
to  the Merger, partially offset  by an increase in  cash provided by the casino
operations of approximately $5,700,000 attributable to the Rainbow Casino.
 
    Cash  provided  by  operations  for  fiscal  1995  decreased   approximately
$8,105,000  from  fiscal  1994.  Included  in  fiscal  1994's  cash  provided by
operations  was  a  non-recurring  gain   of  $3,600,000  associated  with   the
termination  of Alliance's  letter agreement with  Capital Gaming International,
Inc.  ("Capital  Gaming"),  which   concerned  the  Company's  proposed   equity
investment  in Capital Gaming,  and the payment by  Capital Gaming of $4,000,000
(offset by transaction  expenses) to  the Company in  connection therewith,  and
$6,351,000  of charges related  to Alliance's decision to  exit the downtown Las
Vegas gaming market and
 
                                       63
<PAGE>
dispose of its tavern operations. Exclusive of these items, expenditures related
to supporting Alliance's business strategy relating to mergers and  acquisitions
in  fiscal 1995 increased  approximately $3,051,000 from  fiscal 1994. Long-term
accrued expenses  decreased  by approximately  $1,031,000  from fiscal  1994  as
Alliance paid rent and other exit expenses against the amounts accrued in fiscal
1994  as noted above.  The remaining increase in  accrued expenses accounted for
the use of cash in the amount  of $4,710,000. These uses of cash were  partially
offset  by an increase in cash flows from operations of approximately $2,666,000
from Alliance's ongoing business operations  and an operating cash  contribution
of  approximately $3,089,000  from the first  year of operations  by the Rainbow
Casino. Significant non-cash items added back to cash flows from operations  for
fiscal  1995 include $1,313,000 in  non-cash compensation expense and $1,075,000
related to certain service contracts and termination costs.
 
    Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December  31,
1995  increased $12,403,000 over that in 1994 due primarily to the proceeds from
the sale of  approximately $8,015,000  of securities. Also,  net collections  on
receivables improved by $3,299,000 over the same period last year.
 
    Cash  flows used for  investing activities in fiscal  year 1995 decreased by
$5,651,000 from the prior  year. Net collections on  receivables in fiscal  1995
improved  by  $2,605,000 over  those in  fiscal 1994.  In fiscal  1994, Alliance
funded approximately  $7,250,000 in  loans to  Capital Gaming  and the  original
general  partner in  RCVP, which  additions were  partially offset  by increased
collections of receivables related  primarily to the  collection of the  Capital
Gaming loan in fiscal 1994.
 
    Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 1995
declined  $76,000  from the  same  period in  1994  due primarily  to Alliance's
borrowing of $682,000 in 1995.
 
    Cash  flows  from  financing  activities   in  fiscal  year  1995   declined
$48,402,000  from fiscal  1994. In fiscal  1994, Alliance  completed the private
placement  of  $85,000,000  aggregate   principal  amount  of  its   Convertible
Debentures.  Concurrent  with the  closing of  the  issuance of  the Convertible
Debentures, Kirkland invested $5,000,000 in Alliance (the "Kirkland Investment")
in exchange for  1,333,333 shares  of Alliance's  Non-Voting Junior  Convertible
Special  Stock and warrants to purchase up  to 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock,
subject to  certain  conditions.  A  portion of  the  net  proceeds  from  these
transactions  was used to repay previously existing debt and accrued interest of
approximately $38,245,000. In  December 1995,  Kirkland elected  to convert  the
entire  1,333,333 shares of Special Stock into an equivalent number of shares of
Common Stock.
 
    EBITDA (as defined: see Note 1 to the Alliance Summary Historical  Financial
Information)  as a  percent of  the related  revenues changed  for Nevada gaming
machine management operations from 15.3% in fiscal 1994 to 16.7% in fiscal  1995
and  to 14.8% in  the first six months  of fiscal 1996  and for Louisiana gaming
machine management operations  from 17.5%  to 19.1% and  to 20.6%  for the  same
periods.  EBITDA  as  a percent  of  revenues for  casino  operations (excluding
discontinued operations),  excluding  certain  one-time charges,  was  18.2%  in
fiscal 1994 and 23.2% in fiscal 1995 and 30.9% in the first six months of fiscal
1996.  The increase in the first six months  of fiscal 1996 was due primarily to
the acquisition of  the Rainbow  Casino. EBITDA should  not be  construed as  an
alternative  to  net income  or  any other  GAAP  measure of  performance  as an
indicator of Alliance's  performance or  to cash flows  generated by  operating,
investing and financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or a measure of
liquidity. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful adjunct to net income and
other  GAAP measurements and is a  conventionally used financial indicator. On a
pro forma basis, earnings exceeded  fixed charges by approximately $2.6  million
for  the year ended June 30, 1995 and  would have been inadequate to cover fixed
charges by approximately $4.5  million for the  six-month period ended  December
31, 1995.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY (PRO FORMA)
 
    On October 18, 1995 Alliance entered into the Merger Agreement with BGII and
the  Merger Subsidiary. Pursuant to the  Merger, BGII will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Alliance. The aggregate Merger consideration to BGII  stockholders
will  be approximately $76.7  million in cash, $35.0  million in Preferred Stock
and $2.9 million in Common Stock. Alliance will also retire approximately  $70.7
million of long-term
 
                                       64
<PAGE>
debt  of BGII  (including prepayment premium  and original  issue discount) plus
accrued and unpaid interest  in connection with the  Merger, and will  generally
assume  BGII's obligations with  respect to outstanding  options and warrants to
purchase shares of BGII common stock. See "The Merger and Related Financings."
 
    The Company  currently anticipates  obtaining one  or more  working  capital
revolving  facilities at  Gaming and  Wulff (providing  up to  $    of borrowing
availability in aggregate) which would be secured by the inventory and  accounts
receivable of such entities and their subsidiaries. The Company has not received
any  commitment for any such facility and no assurance can be given that it will
be able to  obtain any  such facility  on terms  acceptable to  the Company.  At
closing,  even  if such  facilities are  obtained, the  Company expects  that no
borrowings will have been made under such facilities.
 
    Following the Transaction, the Company believes that its working capital and
funds generated  from  operations  will  be  sufficient  to  meet  its  existing
commitments,  debt payments and  other obligations as  they become due; however,
the Company expects  that it  will have  to refinance all  or a  portion of  the
Convertible Debentures and the Senior Secured Notes at maturity if its cash flow
from  operations does  not increase  substantially. On  a pro  forma basis after
giving effect  to  the  Transaction,  the Company's  earnings  would  have  been
inadequate  to cover fixed charges and Preferred Stock dividend by approximately
$5.2 million and approximately $8.3 million  for the 12-month period ended  June
30,  1995 and  the six-month period  ended December 31,  1995, respectively. The
Company believes that its cash flow needs  for the next 12 months will  increase
as  a result of an increase in  accounts receivable relating to the introduction
of new gaming machines and the expected increases in production and sales levels
from recent historical levels.
 
    Following the Transaction, it remains a part of Alliance's business strategy
to seek on a  more limited basis  complementary gaming opportunities,  including
opportunities  in which its gaming machine  management and casino experience may
be applicable.  As  part  of  its business  activities,  Alliance  is  regularly
involved   in  the   identification,  investigation  and   development  of  such
opportunities. Accordingly, in order to support such activities, Alliance may in
the future desire  to issue  additional debt or  equity securities  if and  when
attractive  opportunities become available on  terms satisfactory to management.
However, the terms of the Senior  Secured Notes will significantly restrict  the
Company's  ability to incur indebtedness. See "Risk Factors -- High Leverage and
Fixed Charges after the Merger; Holding Company Structure; Working Capital."
 
    Management  believes   that  customer   financing  terms   have  become   an
increasingly   important  competitive   factor  in   certain  emerging  markets.
Competitive conditions sometimes  require Gaming and  Systems to grant  extended
payment  terms  on  gaming  machines and  other  gaming  equipment.  While these
financings are normally collateralized  by such equipment,  the resale value  of
the  collateral in the event of a default  may be less than the amount financed.
In conjunction with sales by  Gaming, with recourse to  Gaming and/or BGII ,  of
certain  trade receivables to third parties,  Gaming and/or BGII have guaranteed
amounts due from various  customers of approximately  $18.2 million at  December
31, 1995. It is possible that one or more of Gaming's customers whose obligation
has been guaranteed by Gaming may be unable to make payments as such become due.
In  this case Gaming may become responsible  for repayment of at least a portion
of such amounts over the term of the receivables. In general, under the terms of
these contracts, the  Company may  be responsible  for monthly  payments of  the
outstanding  obligations. Accordingly, the Company will have greater exposure to
the  financial  condition  of  its  customers  in  emerging  markets  than   has
historically been the case in established markets like Nevada and Atlantic City.
Wulff  provides  customer  financing for  approximately  20% of  its  sales, and
management expects this practice temporarily to increase during the latter  half
of  1996. In order to be competitive in meeting customer demand for financing of
gaming equipment in emerging markets, the Company plans to continue to  evaluate
the  need  to  involve  third  party  finance  companies  or  secure  additional
financing, although there is no assurance that such additional financing will be
obtained.
 
ALLIANCE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1994
 
    REVENUES
 
    Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1995 were  $76,229,000,
an  increase of  $13,891,000 (22.3%)  over those  for the  same period  in 1994.
Revenues from all gaming machine management operations increased $110,000 (0.2%)
to approximately $52,621,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1995. Revenues
from the  Louisiana  gaming  machine management  operations  increased  $147,000
 
                                       65
<PAGE>
(1.9%)  primarily as  a result  of the  opening of  a new  OTB in  October 1995.
Revenues from Nevada  gaming machine  management operations for  the six  months
ended  December 31, 1995 decreased approximately $36,000 (0.1%). The decrease in
the Nevada  gaming  machine management  revenues  was attributable  to  a  $0.52
decrease  in the average net  win per gaming machine per  day for the six months
ended December 31, 1995 over the same period in 1994 (accounting for a  decrease
of  approximately $499,000) which  exceeded an increase  in the weighted average
number of gaming machines on location for the six months ended December 31, 1995
over the  same period  in  1994 (accounting  for  an increase  of  approximately
$463,000).  Revenues  from  casino  and tavern  operations,  including  food and
beverage sales,  increased approximately  $13,791,000  (140.6%) during  the  six
months  ended  December 31,  1995  over those  for the  same  period in  1994 as
revenues recognized from the Rainbow  Casino, which were consolidated  beginning
March  29, 1995, exceeded  the revenues lost with  the termination of Alliance's
lease at the Royal Casino and  the reduction of operations at Alliance's  tavern
locations.
 
    COSTS AND EXPENSES
 
    COSTS  OF REVENUES.  Cost of gaming  machine management revenues for the six
months ended December 31, 1995 increased $1,147,000 (2.9%) over the same  period
in  1994.  Costs  of  revenues  from  gaming  machine  management  operations in
Louisiana decreased $53,000 (1.1%) over the same  period in 1994 as a result  of
better  controlling  direct labor  costs. Costs  of  gaming revenues  for Nevada
gaming machine management revenues  for the six months  ended December 31,  1995
increased  $1,200,000 (3.5%) over the same period in 1994 and increased slightly
as a  percent of  Nevada gaming  machine management  revenues primarily  due  to
increased  costs associated with  additional and renewed  space lease contracts.
Cost of gaming machine management revenues includes rents under both space lease
and revenue  sharing  arrangements, gaming  taxes  and direct  labor,  including
related  taxes and  benefits. The cost  of casino and  tavern revenues including
costs of food and beverage revenues  increased $5,246,000 (86.5%) over the  same
period  in 1994 primarily due to the  Rainbow Casino cost of revenues which were
consolidated beginning March 29, 1995. This increase was partially offset by the
termination of  Alliance's  lease at  the  Royal  Casino and  the  reduction  of
operations  at Alliance's tavern  locations. Cost of  casino and tavern revenues
includes cost of  goods sold,  gaming taxes,  rent and  direct labor,  including
related taxes and benefits.
 
    EXPENSES.   For  the six  months ended  December 31,  1995 Alliance incurred
developmental costs  associated with  pursuing Alliance's  business  development
strategy  relating  to mergers  and  acquisitions of  approximately $10,737,000,
consisting of $9,437,000 of direct costs incurred related to the Merger and  the
previous  tender offer  and consent solicitation  by Alliance  and $1,300,000 of
salaries and administrative costs  of the mergers  and acquisitions unit,  which
represented  an  increase  of $7,229,000  (206.1%).  These  business development
expenses include salaries  and wages, related  taxes and benefits,  professional
fees,  travel expense and  other expenses associated  with supporting Alliance's
strategy. The  level of  business development  activities, exclusive  of  Merger
costs,  has  been reduced  from  prior periods  due  to the  termination  of two
executives in this business unit in order to reduce costs, and the relocation of
this unit to lower cost office space. Alliance believes that such reduced  level
of  costs will be  adequate to pursue  its business development  strategies on a
more limited basis in accordance  with its business plan following  consummation
of the Merger.
 
    Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses for  the  six  months ended
December 31,  1995  increased approximately  $2,912,000  (44.9%) over  the  same
period  in  1994. Expenses  for casinos  and  taverns for  the six  months ended
December 31, 1995 increased  $3,629,000 (198.3%) over  the prior year  primarily
due  to the Rainbow Casino expenses  which were consolidated beginning March 29,
1995. This increase was partially offset by the termination of Alliance's  lease
at  the  Royal  Casino and  the  reduction  of operations  at  Alliance's tavern
locations. Such expenses related to gaming machine management operations for the
six months ended  December 31,  1995 decreased  $717,000 (15.4%)  over the  same
period  in  1994  reflecting steps  taken  to control  costs,  including reduced
staffing  levels.  Corporate  general  and  administrative  expenses   decreased
$1,265,000  (29.4%). This decrease was caused primarily by controlling costs and
reducing staffing levels. Alliance expects  that there may be further  increases
in  selling, general and administrative expenses  related to the addition of new
management and development personnel and other costs associated with  supporting
 
                                       66

Alliance's  business strategy. Included in last year's other income and expenses
is a charge of $404,000  representing Alliance's equity in  the net loss of  the
Rainbow  Casino  in  its first  six  months  of operations  prior  to Alliance's
acquisition of the general partnership interest in RCVP on March 29, 1995.
 
    Interest expense for the period increased $373,000 over the same period last
year due principally to  the increased interest expense  related to the debt  of
Rainbow Casino.
 
  FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994
 
    REVENUES
 
    Total  revenues for the  fiscal year ended June  30, 1995 were approximately
$131,988,000, an  increase of  $8,934,000  (7.3%) over  those for  fiscal  1994.
Revenues  from  all gaming  machine  management operations  increased $3,997,000
(3.9%) to  approximately  $106,827,000  in fiscal  1995.  Revenues  from  gaming
machine  management  operations in  the State  of Louisiana  declined $1,796,000
(10.3%)  primarily  as  a  result   of  increased  competition  from   riverboat
operations.  Revenue from Nevada gaming machine management operations for fiscal
1995 increased approximately $5,739,000 (6.7%)  over those for fiscal 1994.  The
increase  in the Nevada gaming machine management revenues was attributable to a
$2.15 increase in the average net win  per gaming device per day in fiscal  1995
compared  to  fiscal  1994  (accounting  for  approximately  $4,042,000  of such
increase) and an increase  in the weighted average  number of gaming devices  on
location  during  fiscal 1995  as  compared to  fiscal  1994 (accounting  for an
increase  of  approximately  $1,751,000).   Revenues  from  casino  and   tavern
operations,   including  food   and  beverage   sales,  increased  approximately
$4,975,000 (24.6%) during  fiscal 1995 over  those for fiscal  1994 as  revenues
recognized  from the Rainbow Casino, which were consolidated beginning March 29,
1995, exceeded  the revenues  lost as  a  result of  the closing  of  Alliance's
properties  in downtown Las Vegas and the termination of Alliance's lease at the
Royal Casino.
 
    COSTS AND EXPENSES
 
    COSTS OF  REVENUES.   Cost of  gaming machine  management revenues  for  the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 increased $3,543,000 (4.6%) over that for fiscal
1994.  Costs of revenues  for gaming machine  management operations in Louisiana
decreased $1,199,000 (10.7%) from fiscal 1994 as revenues declined primarily  as
a  result  of increased  competition in  that  market. As  a percent  of related
revenues,  Louisiana  gaming  machine  management  costs  of  revenues  remained
relatively   constant.  Cost  of  gaming  revenues  for  Nevada  gaming  machine
management revenues for  fiscal 1995  increased $4,742,000 (7.3%)  over that  in
fiscal  1994  and  increased slightly  as  a  percent of  Nevada  gaming machine
management revenues due primarily to increased costs associated with  additional
and  renewed space lease  contracts. Cost of  gaming machine management revenues
includes rents under both space  lease and revenue-sharing arrangements,  gaming
taxes and direct labor, including related taxes and benefits. The cost of casino
and  tavern revenues, including the cost of  food and beverage sales, for fiscal
1995 decreased $724,000  (4.8%) over that  in fiscal 1994  primarily due to  the
closing  of Alliance's properties  in downtown Las Vegas  and the termination of
Alliance's lease at the Royal Casino.  These decreases were partially offset  by
increases  in Rainbow Casino costs of revenues which were consolidated beginning
in March 1995. Cost of casino and  tavern revenues includes cost of goods  sold,
gaming  taxes, rent  and direct  labor expenses,  including taxes  and benefits.
Although the gross  margin percentage  for Nevada  operations declined  slightly
during  fiscal 1995, the  decline was completely  offset by the  addition of the
Rainbow Casino and a small improvement in the Louisiana gross margin percentage.
As a  result, the  total cost  of revenues  as a  percentage of  total  revenues
declined by 2.9% over that in fiscal 1994.
 
    EXPENSES.   In fiscal  1995, Alliance incurred  development costs associated
with pursuing Alliance's long term growth strategy of approximately  $7,843,000,
an  increase of approximately $6,651,000 (558.0%)  over fiscal 1994. Included in
the development costs  for fiscal 1995  was $1,669,000 of  costs related to  the
Merger.  Included  as an  offset  to development  costs  for fiscal  1994  was a
non-recurring gain of $3,600,000 related to Alliance's effort to acquire Capital
Gaming and the payment by Capital  Gaming to extinguish its obligation to  issue
warrants to Alliance in connection therewith. Fiscal 1994 development costs also
include  certain  significant expenses  associated  with Alliance's  purchase of
Native American Investments,  Inc. ("NAI"). Development  costs include  salaries
and  wages,  related taxes  and  benefits, professional  fees,  travel expenses,
 
                                       67
<PAGE>
payments to third parties  for business development  options and other  expenses
associated  with  supporting  Alliance's  long-term  growth  strategy.  With the
exception of the significant costs expected  to be incurred in conjunction  with
the  Merger,  Alliance  expects to  continue  to  incur a  significant  level of
development costs although at a reduced level compared to fiscal 1995 due to the
termination of two executives in this business unit in order to reduce costs and
its relocation to lower cost office  space. Alliance believes that such  reduced
costs  will be adequate to pursue its  business development strategies on a more
limited basis in accordance with its business plan following consummation of the
Merger.
 
    Corporate  administrative  expenses  for  fiscal  1995  were   approximately
$9,735,000, an increase of $1,853,000 over the same amounts for fiscal 1994. The
primary cause for the increase was $1,331,000 in compensation expense recognized
upon  the  issuance  of 250,000  shares  of  Common Stock  to  Steve Greathouse,
Alliance's President,  Chief Executive  Officer and  Chairman of  the Board,  in
connection  with his employment agreement. Also  contributing to the increase in
corporate administrative expenses were $485,000  of expenses related to  certain
service  contracts  and  termination  costs.  Corporate  administrative expenses
include salaries and wages,  related taxes and  benefits, professional fees  and
other  expenses associated with  maintaining the corporate  office and providing
centralized corporate services for Alliance.
 
    Exclusive of the  development and corporate  expenses noted above,  selling,
general  and administrative expenses for fiscal 1995 increased $1,078,000 (7.9%)
from fiscal 1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses related to gaming
machine management operations in fiscal  1995 decreased $1,340,000 (13.8%)  from
fiscal  1994. Selling, general and  administrative expenses for Louisiana gaming
machine management operations declined  approximately $660,000 (23.8%) as  staff
reductions  and cost containment measures  were implemented to counter increased
competition in that market. The same costs for Nevada gaming machine  management
operations  in fiscal  1995 decreased  $680,000 (9.8%)  as the  benefit of staff
reductions and cost controls  taken in late fiscal  1994 was realized.  Selling,
general  and administrative costs increased for  casino and tavern operations by
$1,595,000 (44.0%) over  those in fiscal  1994. The acquisition  of the  Rainbow
Casino,  which contributed $1,984,000  to the increase,  was partially offset by
the closing of Alliance's downtown Las  Vegas properties and the termination  of
the  lease at the  Royal Casino. Also  contributing to the  increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses were $478,000 of expenses related to certain
service contracts  and termination  costs. Selling,  general and  administrative
expenses may be subject to further increases.
 
    In  fiscal 1994,  due to  continuing losses  from operations,  negative cash
flows and incompatibility with Alliance's long-term growth strategy,  Alliance's
Board of Directors resolved to (i) exit the downtown Las Vegas gaming market and
(ii)  dispose  of the  currently operated  small independent  tavern operations.
Based on these  decisions, Alliance recognized  total expenses of  approximately
$5,884,000  in fiscal 1994. As a result of the decision to exit the downtown Las
Vegas  gaming  market,  in   September  1994,  Alliance  substantially   reduced
operations  at both  the Trolley  Stop Casino  and Miss  Lucy's Gambling  Hall &
Saloon. Included in the fiscal 1994 statements of operations are total  expenses
of  approximately $3,246,000 related to these actions. The total charge included
approximately $488,000 related  to the  write-down of  assets and  approximately
$2,758,000 representing primarily the present value of the future lease payments
net  of  estimated future  sublease income.  The decision  to withdraw  from the
tavern  business  resulted  in   expenses  of  approximately  $2,638,000   being
recognized  in fiscal  1994. Approximately  $1,813,000 of  the total  amount was
related to the  write-down of  assets while  approximately $825,000  represented
primarily the present value of the future lease payments net of estimated future
sublease income.
 
    On  December 17, 1993, Alliance incurred a fire loss at the Fairgrounds Race
Course in New Orleans, Louisiana  where Alliance operated 199 electronic  gaming
machines prior to the fire (of which 193 were destroyed by the fire) through its
controlled  subsidiary,  VSI.  Alliance  was fully  insured  for  all equipment,
leasehold improvements, other assets and  business income with the exception  of
approximately  $46,000  in deductibles.  During  fiscal 1995,  Alliance recorded
approximately $247,000 of income  from business interruption insurance  proceeds
compared  to $241,000  of such proceeds  in fiscal 1994.  Alliance is discussing
settlement  of  additional  business  interruption  claims  with  the  insurance
carrier.  Alliance has also received insurance proceeds based on the replacement
value of the assets destroyed in the  fire and, therefore, recognized a gain  of
approximately $156,000 which is included in other income in fiscal 1994.

  FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993
 
    REVENUES
 
    Total  revenues for the  fiscal year ended June  30, 1994 were approximately
$123,054,000 for fiscal 1994,  an increase of $9,963,000  (8.8%) over those  for
fiscal  1993. Revenues from  all gaming machine  management operations increased
$6,548,000 (6.8%) to approximately $102,830,000  in fiscal 1994. Gaming  machine
management  operations  in the  state  of Louisiana  contributed  $5,222,000 (an
increase of 42.9%) to the overall increase in gaming machine management revenues
as Alliance continued to experience  increasing demand in that relatively  young
market.  Revenue  from  Nevada gaming  machine  management  operations increased
approximately $1,326,000 (1.6%) over those for fiscal 1993. The increase in  the
Nevada  gaming machine management revenues was  attributable to a $1.30 increase
in the average net win  per gaming machine per day  in fiscal 1994 over that  of
fiscal  1993 (accounting for an increase  of approximately $2,608,000) which was
partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average number of gaming machines
on location during  fiscal 1994  as compared to  fiscal 1993  (accounting for  a
decrease   of  approximately  $1,282,000).  Revenues  from  casino  and  taverns
increased approximately $3,449,000  (20.6%) during  fiscal 1994  as compared  to
those  for fiscal 1993 due  to the continued expansion  of casino operations and
operating additional troubled tavern locations.
 
    COSTS AND EXPENSES
 
    COSTS OF  REVENUES.   Cost of  gaming machine  management revenues  for  the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 increased $3,718,000 (5.1%) over that for fiscal
1993.  Gaming machine management operations  in Louisiana contributed $2,854,000
(an increase of 40.6%) from fiscal 1993 to the overall increase. Cost of  gaming
revenues for Nevada gaming machine management revenues for fiscal 1994 increased
$864,000 (1.3%) over that for fiscal 1993. The increase to cost of Nevada gaming
machine  management  revenues  was  primarily due  to  an  increase  in location
operators' share of  gaming revenues  caused by  replacing a  large space  lease
contract  with revenue-sharing  arrangements. Cost of  gaming machine management
revenues includes rents under both space lease and revenue-sharing arrangements,
gaming taxes and direct labor, including related taxes and benefits. The cost of
casino and tavern  revenues for  fiscal 1994 increased  $3,412,000 (29.6%)  over
that  for fiscal 1993 primarily due to the  first full year of operations of two
small casinos  and the  first full  year of  operating the  hotel and  food  and
beverage  operations at the Mizpah Hotel  and Casino (the "Mizpah"). Previously,
Alliance had operated only the casino at the Mizpah, but in January, 1993  began
operating  the entire facility including food  and beverage operations to insure
its availability for  the casino. Cost  of casino and  tavern revenues  includes
cost  of goods  sold, gaming  taxes, rent  and direct  labor expenses, including
taxes and benefits. Although the gross margin percentage from Nevada  operations
declined  during  fiscal  1994,  the  decline was  offset  by  increases  in the
Louisiana operating margin percentage. As a result, the combined cost of  gaming
revenues  as a percentage  of gaming revenues  remained relatively constant from
fiscal 1993 to fiscal 1994.
 
    EXPENSES.   In  August  1994,  due to  continuing  losses  from  operations,
negative  cash  flows  and  incompatibility  with  Alliance's  long-term  growth
strategy, Alliance's Board of  Directors resolved to (i)  exit the downtown  Las
Vegas gaming market and (ii) dispose of the currently operated small independent
tavern  operations. Based on these decisions, Alliance recognized total expenses
of approximately $5,883,500 in fiscal 1994. As a result of the decision to  exit
the  downtown Las Vegas gaming market, in September 1994, Alliance substantially
reduced operations at both the Trolley Stop Casino and Miss Lucy's Gambling Hall
& Saloon.  Included  in the  fiscal  1994  statements of  operations  are  total
expenses  of approximately $3,246,000 related to these actions. The total charge
included  approximately  $488,000  related  to  the  write-down  of  assets  and
approximately  $2,758,000 representing primarily the present value of the future
lease payments net of estimated future sublease income. The decision to withdraw
from the tavern business resulted in expenses of approximately $2,638,000  being
recognized  in fiscal  1994. Approximately  $1,813,000 of  the total  amount was
related to the  write-down of  assets while  approximately $825,000  represented
primarily the present value of the future lease payments net of estimated future
sublease income.
 
    Alliance's  lease at the Mizpah has  a remaining lease term of approximately
8.5 years with an option on Alliance's behalf to terminate the lease arrangement
at any time after December 31, 1995 with 120 days
 
                                       69
<PAGE>
notice. In September 1994, Alliance notified  the landlord of the Mizpah of  its
intent  to exercise the termination clause of its lease at the earliest possible
date of January 1, 1996 and  give 120 days notice at  that time. As a result  of
this  decision,  Alliance recognized  additional charges  of $467,500  in fiscal
1994.
 
    Also included in  selling, general  and administrative  expenses for  fiscal
1994  are development costs associated with pursuing Alliance's long term growth
strategy  of  approximately  $1,192,000.   These  developmental  costs   include
approximately  $4,792,000  in legal  fees,  travel expenses  and  other expenses
associated with supporting Alliance's long-term growth strategy, which  expenses
are  partially  offset  by the  $3,600,000  recovered under  the  Capital Gaming
termination agreement. Fiscal 1994 was the first year in which significant funds
were expended in pursuit of this strategy.
 
    Exclusive of the reserves, write-downs and development expenses noted above,
selling,  general  and  administrative   expenses  for  fiscal  1994   increased
$1,679,000 (8.5%) over those in fiscal 1993. The primary causes for the increase
include  a $400,000 fiscal 1994 bonus granted to Shannon L. Bybee as part of the
restructuring of his employment with  Alliance, $350,000 in fees incurred  under
the one year consulting contract with Carole A. Carter, the former President and
Chief  Operating  Officer  of  Alliance, continued  expansion  of  the Louisiana
machine management operations  which contributed approximately  $546,000 to  the
overall  increase and $274,000 of overall increases in Nevada machine management
operations. The general and  administrative costs for  casinos and taverns  were
$3,622,000 (18.0%) of related revenues for fiscal 1994 as compared to $3,511,000
(21.0%) for fiscal 1993. The same costs for gaming machine management operations
were  $9,736,000 (9.5%) of revenues for fiscal  1994 and $8,916,000 or (9.3%) of
revenues for fiscal 1993.
 
    Bad debt expense in  fiscal 1994 increased  52.9% to approximately  $705,000
over  that for fiscal  1993 expense of  $461,000 due primarily  to the financial
difficulties of a particular customer in Northern Nevada.
 
    On December 17, 1993, Alliance incurred a fire loss at the Fairgrounds  Race
Course  in New Orleans, Louisiana where  Alliance operated 199 electronic gaming
machines prior to the fire (of which 193 were destroyed by the fire) through its
controlled subsidiary,  VSI.  Alliance  is  fully  insured  for  all  equipment,
leasehold  improvements, other assets and business  income with the exception of
approximately $46,000  in  deductibles.  Through June  30,  1994,  Alliance  had
recorded  approximately $241,000 of income  from business interruption insurance
proceeds. Alliance will continue to receive proceeds under this policy while the
Fairgrounds Race Course  is rebuilt. Alliance  also received insurance  proceeds
based  on  the  replacement value  of  the  assets destroyed  in  the  fire and,
therefore, recognized  a gain  of approximately  $156,000 which  is included  in
other income in fiscal 1994.
 
BGII RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  GENERAL
 
    BGII  was  formed  in  August  1991  to  consolidate  BEC's  gaming  machine
manufacturing and  distribution operations  which are  conducted through  Wulff,
Gaming  and Systems. The operations of  Wulff were conducted through Bally Wulff
Automaten GmbH and Bally Wulff Vertriebs  GmbH, two direct subsidiaries of  BEC,
until  their transfer to BGII in contemplation of the initial public offering of
common stock of  BGII. The operations  of Gaming and  Systems were conducted  as
divisions  or  subsidiaries of  BEC until  substantially all  of the  assets and
liabilities of  these divisions  and subsidiaries  were transferred  to BGII  in
contemplation  of  the initial  public  offering of  common  stock of  BGII. For
purposes of this discussion of results of operations of BGII, the operations  of
Wulff,  Gaming and Systems are described separately as well as on a consolidated
basis and  GmbH  results  are  included  in  Wulff's  results.  The  results  of
operations  for  Wulff and  Gaming  include an  allocation  of BGII,  the parent
company,  revenues  and  expenses,  and  intercompany  transactions  which   are
eliminated on a consolidated basis.

  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
    WULFF
 
    Wulff's revenues for the  year ended December 31,  1995 were $130.7  million
compared  to $111.1 million  in 1994, an  increase of $19.6  million (18%). This
improvement resulted from the favorable effect of currency translation rates  in
the  1995  period,  an  increase  in slot  and  video  gaming  machines  sold by
Vertriebs' wholly-owned subsidiary, GmbH, and an increase in used equipment  and
recreation  and amusement machine sales offset in part by a decrease in new wall
machine units sold by  8% and a  decrease in the average  selling price for  new
wall  machines by 8.4%. Revenues from GmbH increased by 99% due to increased new
casino openings and greater market penetration in Western and Central Europe and
in Africa. The  overall decline  in the  value of  the U.S.  dollar against  the
Deutsche  Mark increased revenues  by $15.0 million  in 1995. New  and used wall
machine sales for  the last  six months of  1995 were  impacted by  regulations,
which became effective January 1, 1996, limiting the number of wall machines per
square  meter  in arcade  locations, thereby  reducing new  sales opportunities.
Industry-wide demand  for  new  machines  was adversely  effected  by  this  new
regulation  while demand for used  machines increased dramatically. The decrease
in demand for new wall machines resulted in increased competition based on sales
price resulting in the reduction in  average selling price for new units  during
the  year. Management expects the demand for new wall machines to continue to be
lower than prior year levels during the first half of 1996. See "Risk Factors --
Operating  History  --  Recent  Losses."  Revenues  from  the  distribution   of
recreational and amusement machines increased by approximately 8.7% during 1995.
 
    Operating income was $5.6 million for 1995 compared to $9.2 million in 1994,
a  decrease of  $3.6 million  or 40%.  This decrease  resulted from  lower gross
margins, higher  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses,  and  unusual
charges,  offset in  part by a  lower provision for  doubtful receivables. Gross
margins for 1995 were 33%  compared to 35% in the  prior year. Gross margin  was
unfavorably  impacted  by higher  unit  costs associated  with  lower production
levels, a change in product mix to lower priced used machines and a decrease  in
average   selling  price  of  new  wall  machines  sold.  Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses increased by $3.5  million resulting from the effect  of
currency translation rates between years and costs associated with the increased
revenues  in GmbH.  Wulff recorded  unusual charges in  1995 of  $0.8 million to
writedown to net realizable value  the carrying value of  a building to be  sold
and  $1.0 million to increase its tax  reserves primarily for value added taxes.
In addition,  Wulff incurred  $2.0 million  of unusual  charges representing  an
allocation  of merger transaction  costs and litigation  expenses related to the
proposed merger with WMS, which has since been terminated, and to a tender offer
by Alliance which was subsequently  terminated in connection with the  execution
of a definitive merger agreement between BGII and Alliance.
 
    The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1995 was 50% compared
to  an  effective  rate  of  26%  in  1994.  The  1994  rate  was  lower  due to
implementation of a tax planning strategy that reduced the effective tax rate by
approximately 50%.
 
    GAMING
 
    Gaming's revenues for the year ended  December 31, 1995 were $108.4  million
compared to $117.8 million in 1994, a decrease of $9.4 million or 8%. New gaming
machines  sold decreased to  18,084 units in  1995 from 21,625  units in 1994, a
decrease of 16%.  This decline in  new unit  sales was caused  principally by  a
reduced  number of  new casino  openings, especially  in the  riverboat markets,
partially offset by increased  sales in the  Nevada market. Management  believes
that  the increase in sales  into the Nevada market  occurred principally due to
the popularity  of  Gaming's new  Game  Maker-Registered Trademark-  machine,  a
multi-game,  touch screen video device which  accounted for 26% of Gaming's unit
sales in  1995.  The  average  price  of  new  gaming  machines  sold  increased
approximately 3% in 1995 principally due to proportionately greater sales of the
higher  priced  Game  Maker-Registered  Trademark-  machine.  Revenues  from new
machines decreased  to  $90.9 million  in  1995  from $106.6  million  in  1994.
Revenues from sales of used equipment increased by 121% to $9.2 million in 1995.
In  addition,  revenues from  sales of  service parts  and interest  income from
financing customer receivables increased by $2.2 million in 1995.
 
                                       73
<PAGE>
    Gaming incurred  an operating  loss of  $2.2 million  for 1995  compared  to
operating  income of $1.6 million in the 1994 period, a decline of $3.8 million.
The decline  in operating  results was  principally  due to  the impact  of  the
aforementioned  decrease in revenues, higher selling, general and administrative
costs and higher bad debt provisions and unusual charges offset, in part, by  an
increase in gross margin.
 
    Gross  margin as a percentage of total revenues was 28% for 1995 compared to
26% in 1994. Lower costs of materials in 1995 were offset, in part, by decreased
absorption of manufacturing overhead expenses attributable to the decline in new
sales units for 1995.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses  increased to $26.7 million  in
1995  compared to  $25.8 million in  1994, an  increase of 3%.  The $0.9 million
increase resulted  principally  from an  increase  in legal  expenses  primarily
related  to Louisiana. Despite the decrease in unit sales in 1995, the provision
for doubtful  accounts increased  $0.3  million resulting  from the  closure  of
certain  riverboat casinos. Gaming  incurred $2.0 million  of unusual charges in
1995 representing  an  allocation of  merger  transaction costs  and  litigation
expenses  related  to  the  proposed  merger  with  WMS,  which  has  since been
terminated, and to a tender offer by Alliance which was subsequently  terminated
in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement.
 
    SYSTEMS
 
    Systems' revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $20.7 million, a
55%  increase compared  to 1994. This  increase is directly  attributable to the
increased number of game monitoring units ("GMUs") sold to both new casinos  and
to  existing  customers which  expanded  their casinos,  upgraded  their current
systems due to new products, or replaced existing systems. In 1995 Systems  sold
approximately  22,000  GMUs compared  to 13,000  in  1994. During  1995, Systems
products were installed in 9 new locations and as of December 31, 1995,  Systems
had  50  installations on-line.  The average  price  of a  GMU sold  during 1995
decreased by 1.5% from the 1994 average price.
 
    Systems' operating income was $5.2 million in 1995 compared to $2.6  million
in  1994,  a 100%  increase. This  increase resulted  from increased  GMUs sold,
partially  offset  by   lower  gross  margins,   higher  selling,  general   and
administrative  expenses and a higher  provision for doubtful receivables. Gross
margin was 65% in 1995 compared to  68% in 1994. This decrease results from  the
decrease in the average selling price of a GMU during 1995, higher product costs
and  a  provision  for  product upgrades.  Selling,  general  and administrative
expenses increased by  $0.9 million in  1995 principally as  a result of  higher
compensation  costs to  support the business  and higher facility  costs for the
1995 year as 1994 was only impacted for six months by the higher costs resulting
from Systems occupying its new facility in July 1994. The provision for doubtful
accounts of $1.1  million in 1995  was primarily attributable  to one  riverboat
customer.
 
    CONSOLIDATED
 
    Revenues  for the year ended  December 31, 1995 were  $249.3 million, net of
eliminations, compared  to $236.2  million  in 1994,  an  increase of  6%.  This
increase  is due to  the aforementioned increase at  Wulff and Systems partially
offset by the aforementioned decrease in Gaming's revenues.
 
    BGII had operating income of $8.4 million for 1995 compared to $13.4 million
in the 1994 period. The decrease in operating results of $5.0 million was caused
principally  by  the   unusual  charges   recorded  in  1995   along  with   the
aforementioned decrease in Wulff and Gaming's operating results partially offset
by the aforementioned increase in operating income at Systems.
 
    Interest expense was $6.9 million in 1995 compared to $6.8 million in 1994.
 
    The  net loss for 1995  was $3.4 million or $0.31  per share compared to net
income of $3.8 million or  $0.35 per share in 1994.  This decline in net  income
resulted  from the after  tax effect of  $5.3 million in  unusual charges and an
increase in the effective  income tax rate primarily  due to the  aforementioned
higher effective tax rate in Germany in 1995.

  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
 
    WULFF
 
    Wulff's  revenues for the  year ended December 31,  1994 were $111.1 million
compared to $112.6 million in  1993, a decrease of  $1.5 million (1%). New  wall
machine  unit  sales of  Wulff's products  increased  approximately 4%  in 1994.
Additionally, the  average  selling  price  for  new  wall  machine  units  sold
increased  approximately  10% due  principally to  popular models  introduced by
Wulff in the latter part of 1994. Revenues from the distribution of recreational
and amusement machines, new  wall machines manufactured  by third parties,  used
wall  machines and other revenues decreased approximately 17% in the 1994 period
due  in  part  to  depressed  economic  conditions  in  Germany  and   increased
competition  in  the  lower  margin recreational  and  amusement  sales markets.
Currency translation  rate adjustments  of Wulff's  revenues into  U.S.  dollars
increased revenues by $2.3 million in the 1994 period due to fluctuations in the
German mark versus the U.S. dollar.
 
    Wulff's  operating income  was $9.2 million  for 1994  compared to operating
income of $9.7 million in the 1993 period. The $0.5 million decrease in 1994  as
compared  to  1993  was caused  principally  by the  aforementioned  decrease in
revenues and a $1.4 million increase in the provision for bad debts, offset,  in
part,  by a slight improvement in Wulff's  gross margin as a percentage of total
revenues and  a decrease  in  selling, general  and administrative  expenses  of
approximately  3%. The increase in Wulff's provision for bad debts was caused by
an increase in Wulff's accounts and notes receivable balances in the 1994 period
as well  as the  general impact  of  depressed economic  conditions on  some  of
Wulff's customers.
 
    GAMING
 
    Gaming's  revenues for the year ended  December 31, 1994 were $117.8 million
compared to $48.5  million in  1993, an increase  of $69.3  million (143%).  New
gaming  machines sold  increased to  21,625 units in  1994 from  10,156 units in
1993, an increase of 112%. The introduction of Gaming's S5500 ProSeries-TM- line
of slot  machines and  its new  Game Maker-Registered  Trademark-, a  multi-game
touch screen machine, in the second half of 1993 and 1994, respectively, as well
as  the proliferation of  legalized gaming in  riverboat markets, contributed to
this increase of units sold. The average price of gaming machines sold increased
18% in 1994 due to additional features,  such as the embedded bill acceptor,  in
the  new  machines  and  fewer sales  through  distributors  in  1994. Aggregate
revenues from  new machines  increased  to $106.6  million  in 1994  from  $41.7
million  in  1993.  Revenues  from  other  sources,  including  interest income,
increased $4.4  million from  $6.8 million  in 1993  to $11.2  million in  1994,
primarily due to increased sales of used units and machine accessories.
 
    Gaming's operating income was $1.6 million for 1994 compared to an operating
loss  of $31.7 million in the 1993  period, an improvement of $33.3 million. The
1993 operating  loss  includes  $12.5 million  of  unusual  charges  principally
relating  to the writedown of inventories  originally intended for the Louisiana
VLT market and provisions for bad debts relating to Gaming's former  distributor
in  Louisiana. The improvement  in operating results was  principally due to the
aforementioned  increase  in  revenues,  higher  gross  margins  realized   from
increased absorption of manufacturing overhead costs coupled with lower costs of
materials,  offset, in part, by higher selling, general and administrative costs
as well as higher bad debt provisions and interest costs.
 
    Cost of sales as a  percentage of Gaming's total  revenues, was 73% in  1994
compared  to 87% in 1993, excluding an inventory valuation adjustment in 1993 of
$6.2 million (13% of  1993 total revenues).  The lower cost of  sales is due  to
increased   absorption  of  overhead   manufacturing  expenses  attributable  to
increased production in 1994  as compared to 1993  and lower costs of  materials
attributed to ongoing redesign of products and volume discounts from suppliers.
 
    Selling,  general and administrative expenses  increased to $25.9 million in
1994 compared to $23.4  million in 1993,  an increase of  11%. The $2.5  million
increase  was  caused  principally by  increased  staffing levels  in  the sales
departments and sales  related costs  associated with  the aforementioned  sales
volume  increase in 1994 compared to 1993. Bad debt expense provisions increased
to $3.6 million  in 1994 from  $3.2 million  in 1993, excluding  a $5.1  million
increase  in  the  provision  in  1993  primarily  relating  to  Gaming's former
distributor of  VLT  devices in  Louisiana.  This $0.4  million  increase  (13%)
resulted from increased sales volume in the 1994 period.

    SYSTEMS
 
    Systems'  revenues for the  year ended December 31,  1994 were $13.4 million
compared to $12.0  million in the  comparable 1993 period,  an increase of  $1.4
million  (12%). Continued growth  in casino emerging  markets, particularly with
casinos on Indian  lands and on  riverboats, contributed to  an increase in  the
demand for gaming monitoring systems and the increase in Systems' revenues.
 
    Systems'  operating income was $2.6 million  for the year ended December 31,
1994 compared to $4.0 million during the twelve months ended December 31,  1993.
This  decrease  in operating  income  of $1.4  million  was caused  primarily by
slightly lower gross profit margins as a percentage of revenues, higher selling,
general and administrative costs and a higher provision for bad debts offset, in
part,  by  the  aforementioned  increase  in  revenues.  Selling,  general   and
administrative  expenses  increased $1.1  million  due to  higher  sales levels,
increased staffing levels and  increased facility costs.  The provision for  bad
debts increased $0.8 million due to the increase in revenues and higher accounts
receivable balances outstanding during the period.
 
    CONSOLIDATED
 
    Revenues  for the year ended  December 31, 1994 were  $236.2 million, net of
eliminations, compared  to $168.7  million in  1993, an  increase of  40%.  This
increase  is due to the aforementioned  increase at Gaming and Systems partially
offset by the aforementioned decrease in Wulff's revenues.
 
    BGII had operating income of $13.4 million for 1994 compared to an operating
loss of $18.5 million in the  1993 period. The improvement in operating  results
of  $31.9 million  was caused principally  by the  aforementioned improvement in
Gaming's operating results  partially offset  by the  aforementioned decline  in
operating income at Systems and Wulff.
 
    Interest expenses was $6.8 million in 1994 compared to $4.4 million in 1993.
This  increase was caused  by higher borrowings  outstanding and higher interest
rates in 1994.
 
    BGII's effective tax rate in 1994  and 1993 differs from the U.S.  statutory
rate  of 34% principally due to the lack of tax benefits available for operating
losses generated in the U.S.
 
  IMPACT OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
    Inflation has not had a significant effect on Alliance's operations for  the
three  years ended December 31, 1995 or BGII's operations during the three years
ended December 31, 1995.
 
    Substantially all of Wulff's transactions are denominated in Deutsche Marks.
The Deutsche Mark is the functional  currency used by BGII to translate  Wulff's
financial  statements. Therefore, BGII is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk.
BGII does  not generally  enter into  foreign exchange  contracts to  hedge  its
exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

                                    BUSINESS
 
OVERVIEW
 
    Alliance   is  a   diversified  gaming   company  that   currently  operates
approximately 6,000 electronic  gaming machines (primarily  video poker  devices
and  slot  machines)  and also  owns  and operates  a  small casino  in  each of
Vicksburg, Mississippi and Sparks/Reno, Nevada.  Alliance is the largest  gaming
machine  management operator  in Nevada and  is the exclusive  operator of video
poker devices at the only racetrack and  ten associated OTBs in the greater  New
Orleans area.
 
    As  part of its long-term growth  strategy, Alliance entered into the Merger
Agreement on October 18,  1995 with BGII  pursuant to which  BGII will become  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Alliance.  BGII, through subsidiaries  in the United
States and  Germany, is  a  leading designer,  manufacturer and  distributor  of
electronic  gaming machines. BGII also designs, assembles and sells computerized
monitoring systems  for slot  and  video gaming  machines which  provide  casino
operators  with  on-line real  time  player tracking,  security  and maintenance
capabilities.
 
    BGII is currently the second largest manufacturer of casino-style electronic
gaming machines in North America and since 1993 has made significant inroads  in
recapturing  a portion  of its  once dominant  market share  of the  late 1970s.
Although BGII sells  gaming devices  to most of  the major  participants in  the
United  States casino  industry, the Company  hopes to continue  to increase its
penetration  in  such   casinos  by  capitalizing   on  Alliance's  and   BGII's
management's  relationships within the gaming industry  to enable the Company to
demonstrate the performance capabilities of its current products.
 
    Alliance believes that the  Merger represents an  opportunity to acquire  an
established company with a well-recognized presence in the gaming industry and a
significant  base  of  assets  and  experience.  Management  estimates  that the
installed base of casino-style electronic  gaming machines (for these  purposes,
primarily  slot and  video machines)  is approximately  650,000 units,  of which
approximately 50% are located in North  America, and that annual sales in  North
America  have grown  from approximately  30,000 units  in 1991  to approximately
89,000 units in 1995,  reflecting a period of  exceptional growth in the  number
and size of casinos in North America. Historically, growth in the gaming machine
market  has been  principally fueled  by sales  to new  casinos and  to a lesser
degree by replacement of  machines (which have an  average replacement cycle  of
three  to seven  years) and  the application of  new technology.  In the future,
management  believes  that  annual  sales  growth  resulting  from   replacement
requirements  and the  application of  new technology  should outpace  growth in
demand generated  by new  casino  openings, which  growth  rate is  expected  to
decline.  Management believes that  the Merger provides  Alliance with an avenue
for entering  a business  historically characterized  by effective  barriers  to
entry  in that  the BGII  assets being acquired  are difficult  to replicate and
require significant time and investment to develop successfully.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
    The  Company's  strategic  objective  is  to  build  a  pre-eminent   gaming
entertainment  company to capitalize on what  management believes to be gaming's
continuing growth within the entertainment  industry. In addition to  continuing
the  development  of  the  Company's  existing  business  units,  the  Company's
strategic focus will be on the Gaming and Systems business unit, key elements of
which include:
 
    CAPITALIZE ON BGII'S CURRENT SALES MOMENTUM.  Since 1993, BGII's  management
has initiated steps to increase its share of gaming machine sales in traditional
markets  and capture increased  gaming machine market share  in new and emerging
jurisdictions. In the  mid-1980s, BGII's management's  slow response to  rapidly
evolving   technology,  new   competitors  and   changing  customer  preferences
contributed to a significant reduction in Gaming's market position. Hans  Kloss,
who  became President  of BGII in  1993, and  other members of  the current BGII
senior management, have led BGII's efforts  to rebuild its market position,  and
have  effectively  increased its  presence  in major  casinos  in the  Las Vegas
market, including Caesars  Palace and the  MGM Grand. As  part of its  long-term
growth  strategy,  Gaming has  increased its  research and  development efforts,
focusing on upgrading  its gaming machine  product line, and  has increased  its
sales  and marketing efforts.  For example, Gaming  introduced its ProSeries-TM-
reel-type slot machines  during the  third quarter  of 1993  and its  multi-game
touch   screen  machine,  the  V7000  Game  Maker-Registered  Trademark-  ("Game
Maker-Registered Trademark-"),
 
                                       77
<PAGE>
during the third  quarter of 1994,  which have contributed  significantly to  an
increase  in unit sales which have approximately doubled the level of unit sales
in 1993. See "Gaming Machine Manufacturing and Systems-- Gaming--Products."
 
    DEVELOP AND  MARKET  PREMIER  GAMING ENTERTAINMENT  PRODUCTS  EMPLOYING  NEW
TECHNOLOGY.  The Company intends to continue to develop, market and sell premier
gaming  entertainment  products and  systems  that employ  available information
technology currently  in  common use  in  other segments  of  the  entertainment
industry,  but not  yet prevalent in  the gaming industry.  The Company believes
that technological enhancements are the key to improving the appeal of its games
and locations.  To implement  this  strategy, the  Company  will draw  upon  the
resources of Dr. Craig Fields, Vice Chairman of the Board, who has over 20 years
of  experience with advanced  information technology from  his work with several
leading companies  and  government  agencies.  Alliance  has  developed  and  is
currently  marketing  a next-generation  computerized product  called "Gambler's
Bonus," a cardless slot players' club and player tracking system for use in  its
gaming  machine management route operations  which will allow multiple locations
to be linked together into a distributed gaming environment. Management believes
that "Gambler's Bonus" offers a wider variety of gaming choices to players  than
any  other  gaming  device  currently  available  for  use  in  route locations.
Additionally, BGII  is  in the  process  of  developing an  innovative  form  of
cashless  wagering  that  uses  bar-coded  coupons which  can  be  read  by bill
validators in slot machines with the resulting information being transmitted  to
a computerized monitoring system, subject to testing and regulatory approval. In
addition,  both BGII and Alliance have developed electronic gaming machines with
bill acceptor  and  ticket  printer  features,  as  well  as  touch  screen  and
multi-game capabilities.
 
    ENHANCE  OPERATING  EFFICIENCIES AND  IMPROVE THE  QUALITY OF  THE COMPANY'S
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.   The Company is  taking a number  of steps in  different
business  units to  improve its  operating efficiencies  while at  the same time
improving the quality of  its products and  services, including (i)  engineering
improvements  in its  gaming machine  manufacturing operations  and reducing per
unit costs  by increasing  production throughput  and negotiating  decreases  in
materials costs; (ii) continuing to improve Wulff's manufacturing efficiency and
productivity  through  the  use  of  computer-aided  design  systems,  automated
production equipment and  devotion of substantial  resources to product  quality
control  in its wall  machine operations; (iii) expanding  the installed base of
electronic  gaming  machines   equipped  with  Gambler's   Bonus,  and   updated
bill-acceptor   devices   throughout  its   Nevada  gaming   machine  management
operations, which  is  expected to  improve  Alliance's revenues  and  operating
efficiencies;  and  (iv)  initiating  improved  customer  service  programs  and
increasing employee responsiveness to customers' needs for after-sale  services.
Management will continue to seek cost reductions and efficiencies.
 
    CAPITALIZE  ON RELATIONSHIPS  AND ENTER  INTO ALLIANCES  WITH TECHNOLOGY AND
ENTERTAINMENT COMPANIES.  Management's focus  on technological  developments  in
gaming  entertainment  has  created  the  potential  for  alliances  with  other
technology-oriented  companies  for  the  purpose  of  sharing  information   or
professional  services in  developing product  concepts. The  Company intends to
continue to develop or license technology  which can be integrated into  various
aspects  of the  gaming entertainment industry  in the future.  In addition, the
Company intends  to make  strategic acquisitions  of rights  to use  proprietary
technology  when  attractive opportunities  arise.  There can  be  no assurance,
however, that  any such  alliances  or acquisitions  will  be available  to  the
Company or will result in sustained beneficial results to the Company.
 
BUSINESS UNITS
 
    Following  the Merger, the Company will operate through four business units:
(i) casino-style  electronic  gaming  machine manufacturing  and  systems,  (ii)
German   operations  (consisting   of  the   manufacture  and   distribution  of
wall-mounted  gaming  machines  and  distribution  of  other  recreational   and
amusement  machines), (iii) gaming machine management operations and (iv) casino
operations.

    UNITED STATES  MARKETS.   Within the  United States,  Nevada represents  the
largest   installed  base  of   gaming  machines  with   an  installed  base  of
approximately 185,000 machines  as of December  31, 1995. Atlantic  City is  the
second  largest  market  which management  estimates  had an  installed  base of
approximately 30,000 machines as  of December 31, 1995.  Product sales in  these
markets are primarily to established casino customers to either replace existing
machines  or  as part  of an  expansion  or refurbishment  of the  casino. Also,
because gaming machine revenues have increased at a higher rate than table  game
revenues  over the past decade, casino operators have frequently increased floor
space dedicated  to  gaming machines.  In  addition, major  casino  openings  in
Nevada,  expansions  of existing  casinos and  the  proliferation of  casinos in
emerging markets have created additional floor space available for new  machines
and  are  anticipated  to  further  increase  competitive  pressures  on  casino
operators to  replace existing  equipment with  new machines  on an  accelerated
basis.
 
    Riverboat  casinos began  operating in  1991 and,  as of  December 31, 1995,
riverboat casinos  were  operating  in  Indiana,  Iowa,  Illinois,  Mississippi,
Missouri  and  Louisiana. The  estimated installed  base  of gaming  machines on
riverboats is approximately 61,000 machines as of December 31, 1995.
 
    Casino-style gaming  continues to  expand on  North American  Indian  lands.
Indian  gaming is regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 which
permits specific types of gaming. Gaming's machines are placed only with  Indian
gaming  operators  who have  negotiated a  compact with  the state  and received
approval by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Gaming has, either directly  or
through  its distributors, sold machines for casinos on Indian lands in Arizona,
Connecticut, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico,  North
Dakota,  South Dakota and Wisconsin. Compacts have also been approved in Oregon,
Colorado  and  Louisiana,   although  Gaming   made  no   deliveries  in   these
jurisdictions  during 1995.  In addition  to the  approved states,  compacts are
under consideration  in several  states, including  Alabama, California,  Maine,
Massachusetts,  Rhode Island,  Texas and Washington.  The installed  base of all
Indian gaming machines as of December 31, 1995 was approximately 52,000 units.
 
    In addition, there are currently casinos  in Colorado and South Dakota.  The
estimated  installed base of machines  in these markets as  of December 31, 1995
was approximately 13,000 machines.
 
    The continued growth  of domestic  emerging markets for  gaming machines  is
contingent  upon  the  public's  acceptance  of  these  markets  and  an ongoing
regulatory  approval   process  by   Federal,  state   and  local   governmental
authorities.  Management cannot predict  which new jurisdictions  or markets, if
any, will  approve the  operation of  gaming machines,  the timing  of any  such
approval or the level of Gaming's participation in any such new markets.
 
    INTERNATIONAL  MARKETS.   In addition  to the  domestic markets,  the gaming
industry  is  also   expanding  in  international   markets.  Gaming's   primary
international   market  is  Europe,   and  to  a   lesser  extent,  Canada,  the
 
                                       79
<PAGE>
Far East,  Latin America  and the  Caribbean.  Gaming has  begun, and  plans  to
continue, expansion into the Australian market, and in 1995, BGII established an
office in Sydney, Australia. No new machines have yet been sold into Australia.
 
    The percentage of Gaming's international revenues by geographic area for the
periods indicated are set forth below:

    MARKETS  FOR  SYSTEMS.    Systems'  primary  markets  for  its  computerized
monitoring systems are the  United States and, to  a lesser extent, Canada,  New
Zealand,  Latin America, Europe,  and the Caribbean.  Markets for Systems within
the United States include traditional land-based casinos predominately in Nevada
and Atlantic City, New Jersey,  Indian gaming and riverboats. Domestically,  the
market  for  monitoring  systems  is  divided  equally  between  selling  to new
installations and to existing  customers who are  either expanding their  casino
floors  or are  upgrading their  hardware to a  new product  release. Unlike the
United States, where most jurisdictions  require the implementation of  systems,
there  have  been  few  international markets  to  do  so.  Management believes,
however, that the international market for such systems is increasing, and  that
Systems' sales to such markets will increase accordingly.
 
  GAMING
 
    PRODUCTS.    Gaming  designs,  manufactures  and  distributes  a  variety of
electronic slot and video gaming machines. Machines are differentiated from  one
another  by graphic design and theme,  cabinet style and size, payout, reel-type
design and minimum/maximum betting amount.  Slot machines are normally  produced
to  specific order,  with design  and configuration  customized to  a customer's
particular requirements.  Customers may  also change  from one  gaming model  to
another  gaming model by ordering a  "conversion kit" which consists of artwork,
reel strips and a computer chip. Gaming's video gaming machines are designed  to
simulate various live card games and keno through a video display. New games and
themes  are introduced periodically  in order to satisfy  customer demand and to
compete with product  designs introduced by  competitors. Gaming introduced  its
"ProSeries-TM-" reel-type slot machines during the third quarter of 1993 and its
multi-game  touch screen  machine, the Game  Maker-Registered Trademark-, during
the third quarter of 1994.
 
    The Game  Maker-Registered Trademark-  can offer  up to  10 different  video
games  within  one gaming  device. Various  games  can be  selected from  a game
library that has over 200 games. The games simulate various card games, keno and
popular reel-spinning  games.  The  Game  Maker-Registered  Trademark-  machines
contain  bill  acceptors and  many other  features believed  to be  popular with
casinos and their customers. The  Game Maker-Registered Trademark- machines  are
available in upright, bar top and slant top cabinets. Based on Gaming's sales of
this  product  to  date,  management  believes  that  Gaming  is  currently more
competitive than in the  past in the video  gaming device market. Revenues  from
sales  of  Game  Maker-Registered Trademark-  machines  were  approximately $0.1
million,  $6.7  million  and   $27.4  million  during   1993,  1994  and   1995,
respectively.
 
    The  ProSeries-TM-  was the  result of  a comprehensive  product development
effort which began in 1991.  The development process included extensive  testing
of  the new products  in-house and on  casino floors for  reliability and player
appeal.  Based  on  Gaming's  sales  of  the  ProSeries-TM-  products  to  date,
management believes that the ProSeries-TM- has been the catalyst to allow Gaming
to increase market share in traditional and emerging markets for gaming machines
as  the product  becomes accepted  by casino  customers. Revenues  from sales of
ProSeries-TM- machines were approximately $19.3 million, $86.2 million and $57.1
million during 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

    Gaming typically offers a 90-day labor  and up to a one-year parts  warranty
for  new gaming machines sold and is actively involved in customer service after
the original  installation.  Gaming  provides  several  after-sale,  value-added
services  to  its customers  including  customer education  programs,  a 24-hour
customer service hot-line, and  field service support  programs and spare  parts
programs.
 
    In  addition, Gaming sells and services used gaming machines and sells parts
for existing  machines. Sales  of used  gaming machines  increased for  1995  as
management  implemented  a  policy to  reduce  inventory levels.  Sales  of used
equipment were $2.7 million, $4.2 million  and $9.2 million for the years  ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    The following table sets forth the percentages of Gaming's revenues provided
by each of its major product lines during the periods shown:

    Gaming machines have a mechanical life that can exceed 10 years. However, in
the  established markets, Gaming's  experience is that  casino operators usually
replace gaming machines after three to seven years. The factors which result  in
replacement  of  gaming  machines  sooner  than  their  mechanical  life include
technological advances, development of new games, new sound and visual  features
and  changing  preferences  of  casino  patrons.  Casinos  typically  recoup the
purchase cost of their electronic gaming machines in a few months, which  allows
casinos  to  replace  machines with  new  models  that are  popular  with casino
patrons.
 
    Gaming often accepts used machines as  trade-ins toward the purchase of  new
gaming  equipment. While a  small secondary market exists  in the United States,
used machines are  typically resold  into the international  market. While  some
used  equipment is reconditioned for direct sale, much is sold in container lots
on an "as is" condition through independent brokers.
 
    In the past, Gaming had designed, manufactured and distributed video lottery
terminals ("VLTs"), which are generally operated by, or under the regulation of,
state or provincial lottery  commissions. The VLT business  was less than 2%  of
revenues  during 1993, 1994 and 1995. Gaming will pursue this business only on a
selected basis in the future.
 
    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  The  Company believes that technological  enhancements
are  the key  to improving  the appeal of  its electronic  gaming machines. Most
gaming machines  on casino  floors  today are  driven  by technology  which  was
developed  over 20 years ago. The Company  believes that accelerating the use of
existing computer  technology  will  give  its gaming  machines  and  systems  a
competitive advantage in the gaming industry.
 
    Gaming develops its products for both the domestic and international market.
Gaming's  product development  process is divided  into two  areas, hardware and
software. Major areas of hardware development include cabinet style,  electronic
capability,  machine handle, coin hopper and bill acceptor. Hardware development
efforts are  focused  upon  player  appeal,  product  reliability  and  ease  of
maintenance.  Development  cycles for  hardware can  range from  a few  days for
simple enhancements to more  than a year for  new electronics or new  mechanical
packages.
 
    The  software  development process  for new  games, which  includes graphics
development, involves a continuous effort requiring relatively significant human
resource allocations. Creativity in software development is an important element
in product  differentiation as  the major  manufacturers sometimes  use  similar
hardware technology. Ideas for new models are generated both internally and from
customers.  Gaming can  design the software  and artwork  for a new  model in as
little as two weeks, excluding regulatory approval. All
 
                                       81
<PAGE>
new or modified  hardware and  software is  designed to  satisfy all  applicable
testing  standards  and  must receive  the  approval of  the  appropriate gaming
regulatory agency  based substantially  on  satisfying such  applicable  testing
standards before such gaming product can be offered for play to the public. Most
gaming  jurisdictions  rely  upon  and  accept  the  certification  of  selected
independent laboratories  that a  gaming product  meets the  applicable  testing
standards.
 
    Regulatory  approval for new or modified hardware and software changes takes
from 30 days  to three months  or more. On  an annual basis,  Gaming expects  to
introduce approximately 25 new games to the market. However, no assurance can be
made with respect to the rate of new model introductions.
 
    During  1993, 1994  and 1995, Gaming  spent $3.0 million,  $3.5 million, and
$3.7 million, respectively, on product research and development.
 
    SALES AND  MARKETING.   Gaming uses  a direct  sales force,  an  independent
distributor  network  and GmbH  to sell  its products.  Gaming's sales  staff of
approximately 20, which  operates offices  in Nevada,  New Jersey,  Mississippi,
Illinois  and Florida, generated approximately 84% of new machine sales over the
past three  years.  Gaming currently  uses  distributors for  sales  to  certain
specific markets in the United States as well as certain European jurisdictions.
Gaming's  agreements  with distributors  do  not specify  minimum  purchases but
generally  provide  that  Gaming  may  terminate  such  agreements  if   certain
performance  standards are not met. Approximately  8% of new gaming machine unit
sales over  the  past  three  years  have  been  generated  through  independent
distributors (including foreign distributors) and 8% have been generated through
GmbH.
 
    In   addition  to  offering  an  expansive  product  line,  Gaming  provides
customized services  in response  to specific  casino requests.  These  services
include  high quality  silkscreen printing  of gaming  machine glass, customized
game development and  interior design  services. Gaming  also offers  customized
design services that utilize computer aided design and studio software programs.
Gaming's  design department can generate a casino  floor layout and can create a
proposed slot mix  for its customers.  In many of  the emerging markets,  Gaming
provides  assistance to customers  including the selection  of related equipment
such as slot stands, chairs, etc. and  a recommended layout of the casino  floor
as  well as  a mix  of machine  models. Sales  to established  casinos in Nevada
normally require completion of a successful trial period for the machines in the
casino.
 
    Approximately 75% of  Gaming's slot and  video gaming machine  sales are  on
terms  of 90  days or  less. Approximately 25%  of Gaming's  sales, primarily in
certain emerging  markets  such as  riverboat  and Indian  gaming  casinos,  are
financed  over extended periods as long as  36 months and bear interest at rates
ranging from 8% to 14%. International sales are generally consummated on a  cash
basis  or financed over  a period of one  year or less.  In addition, in certain
situations, Gaming has  participated in  the financing of  other gaming  related
equipment  manufactured  by third  parties in  the emerging  markets. Management
believes that financing of customer  sales has become an increasingly  important
factor in certain emerging markets. See "--Competition."
 
    CUSTOMERS.   The demand  for slot machines and  video gaming machines varies
depending on new  construction and  renovation of casinos  and other  facilities
with  needs for new equipment.  Since machines are not  replaced each year, many
current customers will need only product maintenance in the near future.  Growth
will  depend on Gaming's ability  to obtain new customers  and take advantage of
the newly  emerging markets.  For the  year ended  December 31,  1995,  Gaming's
largest customer accounted for approximately 5% of Gaming's sales while Gaming's
ten  largest  customers,  excluding  GmbH, accounted  for  approximately  25% of
Gaming's revenues. During that period, sales to GmbH accounted for approximately
9% of Gaming's revenues.
 
    ASSEMBLY OPERATIONS.    Gaming's  Las  Vegas  facility  was  built  in  1990
specifically  for the design, manufacture  and distribution of gaming equipment.
The 150,000-square foot facility was designed to meet fluctuating product design
demands and volume  requirements, and management  believes the facility  enables
Gaming to increase production without significant capital expenditures.
 
                                       82
<PAGE>
    Management  believes that its assembly operations allow for rapid generation
of different  models  to fill  orders  quickly and  efficiently.  Another  major
advantage of the existing plant operation is the system by which machines can be
altered  in many  ways including the  size, type  and color of  glass, sound and
payoff patterns  to produce  a "customized"  product for  each customer.  Gaming
keeps an inventory of parts that allow machines to be altered quickly to conform
with  a particular customer's design/feature request.  Gaming designs all of the
major assemblies that are incorporated into the final machine configuration.
 
    COMPETITION.  The market for gaming  machines in North America is  dominated
by  a single  competitor, IGT.  There are  a number  of other  well established,
well-financed and well-known companies producing machines that compete with each
of Gaming's lines in each of  Gaming's markets. The other major competitors  are
Universal  Distributing  of Nevada,  Inc.,  Sigma Games,  Inc.,  WMS and  in the
international marketplace, companies who market gaming machines under the  brand
names  of  Aristocrat,  Atronic,  Cirsa  and  Novomatic.  In  addition,  certain
technology-oriented companies,  including CDS  and Sega  Enterprises Ltd.,  have
recently  announced  their  intention  to  enter  the  gaming  machine business.
Management believes  that  some  of these  competitors  generally  have  greater
capital  resources than Gaming. Competition  among gaming product manufacturers,
particularly with respect  to sales  of gaming  machines into  new and  emerging
markets, is based on competitive customer pricing and financing terms, appeal to
the  player, quality  of the  product and  having an  extensive distribution and
sales network.
 
    The future success of the Company, to a large extent, will be dependent upon
the  ability  of  Gaming  to  design,  manufacture  and  market  technologically
sophisticated  products  that  achieve  high levels  of  player  acceptance. The
development of a successful new product or product design by a competitor  could
adversely  affect sales of Gaming's products and force Gaming to respond quickly
with its own competing products. In addition, management believes that  customer
financing  terms  have become  an increasingly  important competitive  factor in
certain emerging  markets. Competitive  conditions sometimes  require Gaming  to
grant  extended payment  terms on  gaming machines  and other  gaming equipment.
While these financings are normally collateralized by such equipment, the resale
value of the collateral in  the event of a default  may be less than the  amount
financed.  Accordingly,  Gaming  will  have greater  exposure  to  the financial
condition of its customers  in emerging markets than  has historically been  the
case in established markets like Nevada and Atlantic City. Also, because certain
of  Gaming's competitors generally have greater financial resources than Gaming,
Gaming will  need to  rely on  third party  financing arrangements  in order  to
compete  in  providing  competitive  financing to  customers.  See  "--Sales and
Marketing."
 
  SYSTEMS
 
    PRODUCTS.  Systems designs, assembles,  and sells a computerized  monitoring
system  ("SDS 6000")  for slot  and video  gaming machines  which provide casino
operators with  on-line  real time  data  relative to  a  machine's  accounting,
security,  and maintenance  functions. The SDS  6000 also provides  data to, and
receives data  from, other  third party  player tracking  computer and  software
applications  allowing casinos to  track their players  to establish and compile
individual player profitability and other  demographic information. SDS 6000  is
comprised  primarily of (1) hardware consisting of microcontroller based printed
circuit boards which are installed within the slot and video machines as well as
card reader displays  and keypads  which provide  casinos the  ability to  track
player  gaming activity and to monitor access  to slot and video machines by the
casino's employees, (2) application software developed by Systems which provides
access to  the slot  machine's  activity data  gathered by  the  microcontroller
hardware,  and (3) third party mini-computers  on which the application software
resides. Systems also provides software and hardware support services, including
maintenance, repair and training for purchasers of its monitoring systems.
 
    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.    Systems' product  development  is divided  into  two
areas,  hardware and software.  The major areas  of hardware development include
microcontroller circuit board design and  programming as well as user  interface
devices such as card readers, keypads and displays. Hardware development efforts
are  focused  upon  the  casino  operator  in  terms  of  functionality, product
reliability and ease of maintenance and  customer appeal in terms of  appearance
and  ease of use. Development cycles for  hardware can vary between a few months
for minor revisions to more than a year for major design changes or for  changes
made  by various slot manufacturers with which Systems' product must communicate
and be
 
                                       83
<PAGE>
physically integrated.  Software development  results  in (1)  periodic  product
releases  that  include  new features  which  extend  and enhance  the  SDS 6000
product, (2)  periodic maintenance  releases which  enable casino  operators  to
correct  problems or improve  the usability of the  system and (3) documentation
needed to install and use the system.
 
    In 1995, the hardware and software groups from Systems, as well as engineers
from Gaming, coordinated  efforts to develop  a form of  cashless wagering  that
uses bar-coded coupons which can be read by the bill validators in Gaming's slot
machines  which  are connected  to an  SDS 6000  system. Testing  and regulatory
approval is being pursued by Systems in anticipation of a 1996 release to casino
operators. In  1996, Systems  and  Gaming development  groups will  continue  to
direct  development efforts towards other forms  of cashless wagering for use on
Gaming's slot machines and the SDS 6000 system.
 
    During 1993, 1994  and 1995, Systems  spent $1.4 million,  $1.7 million  and
$1.9 million, respectively on product research and development.
 
    SALES  AND MARKETING.  Systems  has a direct sales  force which produces the
majority of its sales. Gaming's sales force and Gaming's independent distributor
network produce the  balance of  Systems' sales, primarily  in situations  where
customers  are  making  slot  machine and  computerized  slot  monitoring system
purchase decisions at the same time. Worldwide, Systems has approximately 60,000
GMUs installed, or  in the process  of being installed,  of which  approximately
53,000  are in the United States. Over  the past three years, Systems' own sales
force has generated approximately 78% of its sales.
 
    Systems offers its  customers the  option of signing  separate hardware  and
software  maintenance agreements at  the time of sale.  These agreements are for
periods of one year and automatically renew unless otherwise canceled in writing
by the customer or Systems. After an initial warranty period, typically 90 days,
the customer is invoiced a monthly  hardware and software maintenance fee  which
provides  essentially for  repair and/or replacement  of malfunctioning hardware
and software, software version upgrades, and on-call support for software.
 
    Systems offers limited  financing terms,  normally less than  one year,  for
sales  to new installations. Most sales, however,  are invoiced on a net 30 days
basis.
 
    CUSTOMERS.  The demand  for computerized slot  monitoring systems is  driven
either  by regulatory  requirements in a  given jurisdiction and/or  by a casino
operator's competitive  need  to  properly track  their  players'  activity  and
establish  and  compile individual  player  profitability and  other demographic
information, all of which is of  particular importance to casinos in  developing
marketing  strategies. Systems' revenues are derived equally from selling to new
installations as well as  to existing customers who  are either expanding  their
casino  floors or are upgrading their hardware to a new product release. For the
year ended December  31, 1995,  Systems' ten largest  customers (which  includes
certain multi-site casino operators that have corporate agreements with Systems)
accounted  for approximately 92%  of Systems' revenues. Due  to the high initial
costs of installing a computerized monitoring system, customers for such systems
generally have tended not  to change suppliers once  they have installed such  a
system.  Future growth will be based on further expansion in the established and
emerging markets as well as continued development efforts by Systems to  provide
customers with new and innovative hardware and software product offerings.
 
    COMPETITION.   Although there are  numerous companies providing computerized
slot monitoring systems to casino operators, the competition currently  consists
of  IGT, CDS, and to a lesser  extent, by Gaming Systems International and Acres
Gaming. Competition is keen in  this market due to  the number of providers  and
the  limited  number of  casinos and  the jurisdictions  in which  they operate.
Pricing, product feature and  function, accuracy, and  reliability are all  main
factors  in  determining a  provider's success  in  selling its  system. Systems
believes the future success of its operations will be determined by its  ability
to  bring new and innovative  products to the market place  and at the same time
maintain a base of loyal existing customers.

GERMAN OPERATIONS
 
  INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
    Management believes that the German amusement game industry, a  historically
stable  market, consists of approximately 200,000  wall machine units and 50,000
token machine units. German regulations require the replacement of wall machines
after a period of up to four years, ensuring replacement sales in Germany. As  a
result, the annual market sales are approximately 50,000 units with fluctuations
resulting  primarily  from economic  conditions and  regulatory changes.  In May
1993, the  maximum initial  coin drop  in wall  machines was  increased from  30
pfennigs  to 40 pfennigs. This regulatory  change caused some customers to defer
purchases  prior  to  this  regulatory  proposal  pending  its  outcome.  During
mid-1994,  the German government effected a tax law revision based on a European
Court ruling,  whereby V.A.T.  charged to  the operators  of wall  machines  was
significantly reduced. Management believes this tax law revision, offset in part
by  increased leisure taxes, caused the aggregate new wall machine unit sales to
increase to approximately  47,000 units in  1994. Effective January  1, 1996,  a
regulatory change took effect requiring all arcade operators to have at least 15
square  meters of space for  each wall machine and a  maximum of 10 machines per
arcade. Starting in mid-1995, arcade operators began removing wall machines from
their arcades to  meet the  requirements of  this new  regulation. Despite  this
adverse  impact,  the demand  for new  wall  machines remained  at approximately
47,000 units in 1995. All wall machines manufactured since 1992 have meters that
monitor the amount inserted by players and paid out by the machine; from the end
of 1996 on, all  wall machines in  use are required to  have such meters,  which
management  believes should lead to an increase  in demand for new, metered wall
machines in the latter half of 1996. See "--Operations of Wulff--Products."  See
"Management's  Discussion  and Analysis  of Financial  Condition and  Results of
Operations--BGII   Results   of   Operations"   and   "Gaming   Regulation   and
Licensing--Germany."
 
    One of the most important markets for wall machines in Germany is the arcade
market.  A significant number of  arcades are owned by  competitors of Wulff who
are able to introduce their own machines  into the arcades and generally do  not
purchase  wall machines from Wulff. Wulff's two largest competitors, NSM, AG and
Gauselmann, AG, own arcades containing approximately 15% of the wall machines in
Germany. Management believes Wulff's share of the installed base of German  wall
machines market was approximately one-quarter of the market for each of the last
three  years. On an  ongoing basis, the  German legislative authorities regulate
and monitor the  wall machine  industry so  as to  ensure certain  manufacturing
standards  and  the fairness  of  each machine  to  users. The  most significant
legislation presently affecting the wall machine industry relates to  prescribed
licensing  procedures, the use, installation and  operation of wall machines and
the taxation of  wall machines. There  have been no  recent material changes  in
these    ongoing   legislative   regulations.   See   "Risk   Factors--Operating
History--Recent Losses" and "Gaming Regulation and Licensing--Germany."
 
    Token machines, unlike  wall machines, are  not designed to  pay off  money.
Instead,  a player wins games or  tokens. Therefore, the strict German licensing
requirements  governing  wall  machines  are  not  currently  applied  to  token
machines, although it cannot be ruled out that this may change in the future due
to  legislative  changes  or changes  in  administrative  practice. Furthermore,
management believes that the token machine market has reached its potential  and
that  sales will decline because token machines are not subject to the four-year
operation  limit  set  by  German   regulations.  See  "Gaming  Regulation   and
Licensing-- Germany."
 
  OPERATIONS OF WULFF
 
    PRODUCTS.   Wulff's manufacturing operations were  founded in Berlin in 1950
and sold to BEC in 1972. Wulff  produces and distributes a variety of models  of
wall  machines, under  the trade name  "Bally Wulff", for  operation in arcades,
hotels, restaurants and taverns  primarily in Germany.  These wall machines  are
coin-operated,  armless  gaming  devices  similar to  slot  machines  that award
winnings for matching numbers or  symbols on three to  five wheels or drums  and
differ  primarily in appearance,  graphic design, theme,  pay-table and customer
appeal. Each game  costs up  to 40  pfennigs (approximately  $0.28, assuming  an
exchange  rate of  $1=DM 0.6987  as of December  31, 1995  hereinafter) to play,
although the player may  deposit larger amounts to  provide continuous play  but
not  to increase  payoffs. German  regulations limit  the maximum  payout to ten
times the player's  stake (DM  4.00 or  approximately $2.80  per game).  Current
models of wall
 
                                       85
<PAGE>
machines  provide the  player the  opportunity to win  100 special  games on one
play, which increases the potential amount that  can be won on the minimum  coin
drop.  German regulations  require a minimum  payback of 60%  for wall machines,
although many machines are generally programmed  to pay back at higher rates  to
encourage  play. Effective January 1,  1997, all wall machines  in use must have
meters that monitor the amount inserted by players and paid out by the  machine.
See "Gaming Regulation and Licensing-- Germany."
 
    In  addition to manufacturing wall machines, Wulff distributes wall machines
and other  recreational and  amusement  coin-operated machines  manufactured  by
third  parties to provide  a more extensive  line of products  to its customers.
These machines include pool tables, dart games, pinball machines, jukeboxes  and
arcade  games and  are distributed  primarily for  use in  arcades, restaurants,
hotels and  taverns.  One  of BGII's  indirect  subsidiaries,  GmbH  distributes
traditional  slot  machines, manufactured  primarily  by Gaming,  principally to
customers in  Europe, Russia  and, through  its branch  office in  Johannesburg,
South  Africa,  the  African  continent.  The  following  table  sets  forth the
percentage of Wulff's revenues by product line during the periods shown:

</TABLE>
 
    Wulff also manufactures  token machines  for operation  in arcades,  hotels,
restaurants    and   taverns   in   Germany.    See   "Gaming   Regulation   and
Licensing--Germany."
 
    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.   Management believes  that Wulff's  wall machines  are
viewed  as premium  products because  of their  quality, dependability,  ease of
service and  proven  ability to  attract  players and  generate  revenue.  Wulff
designs  its machines to appeal to each  of the three categories of participants
in the  distribution process--  Wulff's  sales representatives  and  independent
distributors,  the owner/operators of  the machines, and  the players. The sales
representatives and distributors  require machines  with broad  appeal that  are
easy  to  demonstrate and  sell.  The owner/operators  desire  reasonably priced
machines that are easy to collect from  and service and that are proven  revenue
generators. The players prefer entertaining machines that are simple to play and
have unique features.
 
    Wulff's  management  has  formed  design  teams  which  are  responsible for
generating ideas  for  creative  new  machines. These  teams  are  comprised  of
representatives  of each department involved  in the production and distribution
of machines,  such  as art  design,  engineering, manufacturing,  marketing  and
sales. The design teams meet for three days each calendar quarter at a site away
from  Wulff's headquarters. The teams  analyze machines currently being marketed
by Wulff and its competitors to  assess their strengths and weaknesses and  then
suggest  ideas for  new machines.  These ideas  are reviewed  to determine which
machines should be produced on a trial  basis. Wulff typically pursues 15 to  20
projects  at any given time,  and approximately 12 to  15 machines are submitted
for licensing each year. These new machines are built in limited quantities  and
then test marketed for three to six months. Generally, less than one-half of the
new machines tested are put into full scale production. Management believes this
process  of generating new ideas  and then turning only  a limited number of the
ideas into machines which will reach the mass market is responsible for the high
quality of Wulff's machines  and their continued acceptance  and success in  the
marketplace.  Because the machines have a reputation for quality, Wulff is often
able to  produce and  market  a particular  model for  up  to two  years,  which
management  believes, based upon its experience  in the relevant marketplace and
feedback from customers, exceeds the industry average.
 
                                       86
<PAGE>
    During 1993, 1994  and 1995,  Wulff spent approximately  $3.3 million,  $3.5
million, and $3.6 million, respectively, on product research and development.
 
    SALES  AND MARKETING.  Wulff sells approximately 94% of its products through
its own sales  force of  56 people  located in  its 23  regional sales  offices.
Independent   German  distributors  account  for   approximately  6%  of  sales.
Approximately 97%  of Wulff's  sales of  new  wall machines  are in  the  German
market.  The sales  offices are operated  as independent profit  centers and are
assigned geographic areas for  which they are  responsible for sales,  servicing
the   machines  and  assisting  in  collecting  customers'  accounts  receivable
balances. GmbH  maintains a  sales office  in Hanover  for the  distribution  of
traditional  slot  machines,  principally  in  Europe,  and  has  an  office  in
Johannesburg, South Africa  for the  sale and distribution  of traditional  slot
machines into the African continent.
 
    Wulff devotes substantial time, money and effort marketing and promoting its
products.  Wulff takes an active part in the annual Amusement Game Fair which is
held each January in Frankfurt, Germany, at which Wulff introduces new products.
 
    The wall machines manufactured and sold  by Wulff generally sell for  prices
ranging  from DM 5,000 to DM 8,000  (approximately $3,493 to $5,590). A majority
of machines distributed by Wulff are paid  for in full within 90 days after  the
sale.  Remaining  sales  of machines  are  financed  by Wulff  generally  over a
12-month period,  with interest  rates of  up  to 12%.  For this  reason,  Wulff
establishes  an internal credit rating and credit limit for each customer. Under
Wulff's conditions of sale, title  to a machine is  retained by Wulff until  the
machine  has been  paid for  in full. In  addition, Wulff  demands collateral as
security. Currently, Wulff provides customer financing for approximately 20%  of
its  sales, and management  expects this practice to  increase during the latter
half of 1996.  In approximately 60%  of its sales,  Wulff accepts wall  machines
and/or  other  recreational  and  amusement equipment  as  trade-ins  toward the
purchase of new  machines. To the  extent possible, the  used machines are  then
resold.
 
    CUSTOMERS.   Each of  Wulff's top ten  customers in 1994  has maintained its
relationship with Wulff for over three years. For the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995, no single customer accounted for more than 3% of Wulff's sales,  while
Wulff's top ten customers accounted for approximately 10% of Wulff's sales.
 
    Wulff's  customer base for wall machines  may be divided into two categories
which differ based on the preferences  of their clientele. Arcade operators  are
generally  interested in purchasing the newest products  in the hopes that a new
innovation will result in a  high level of public demand  to play the new  "hot"
product.  Hotels, restaurants and taverns, on the other hand, are generally more
inclined to purchase lower-priced existing  models with proven earnings  records
to provide as an amenity to customers.
 
    ASSEMBLY OPERATIONS.  Wulff's manufacturing process is primarily an assembly
operation.  Its manufacturing facility consists  of a four-story, 100,000-square
foot building  in  Berlin,  Germany.  Wulff purchases  its  key  raw  materials,
sub-assemblies  and fabricated parts from a variety of suppliers, and most parts
are purchased from multiple  suppliers. While there  exists no formal  long-term
contract  commitments to any single supplier,  Wulff has placed certain standing
orders with suppliers through 1996 to  help assure the availability of  specific
quantities  on an as-needed basis.  These orders are cancelable  by Wulff at any
time without penalty. Most of the component parts are standard on all models  of
all Wulff's wall machines, which promotes easy conversion from the production of
one  model to another in response to  customer demand. Except in connection with
certain promotions, Wulff generally maintains  low inventory levels of  assembly
parts,  and the amount of  work-in-process is generally less  than the number of
machines sold in one week.
 
    Because of its  manufacturing structure, Wulff  is capable of  substantially
increasing  its wall  machine output  without significant  capital expenditures.
Wulff continues to improve its manufacturing efficiency and productivity through
the use of  computer-aided design  systems, automated  production equipment  and
devotion of substantial resources to product quality control.
 
    COMPETITION.   Germany's wall machine manufacturing industry is dominated by
Wulff and  two  of its  competitors,  NSM,  AG and  Gauselmann,  AG.  Management
believes  these three  entities collectively  account for  more than  90% of the
entire market. Wulff competes with many  companies in the distribution of  coin-
operated  amusement games, some  of which are larger  and have greater resources
than Wulff. Wulff's two
 
                                       87
<PAGE>
major competitors own  and operate a  significant number of  arcades, which  may
give them a competitive advantage arising from a built-in market for their games
and  the  ability to  test market  new  games in  their own  arcades. Management
believes that the primary competitive factors in the wall machine  coin-operated
amusement  game market are the quality and  depth of the product line, price and
customer  service  which  includes  the  ability  to  fill  orders  quickly  and
efficiently.
 
    Management believes that the market for token machines has expanded rapidly,
from sales of approximately 3,900 units in 1993 to approximately 16,700 units in
1995.  Management believes  that token  machines have  in recent  years competed
directly with wall machines due  to the lower prices  and the popularity of  the
token  machines. Furthermore, management believes  that the token machine market
may have reached its potential and that sales may decline because token machines
are not subject to the four-year operation limit set by German regulations.  See
"Gaming Regulation and Licensing--Germany."
 
GAMING MACHINE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
 
  NEVADA OPERATIONS
 
    Alliance's   Nevada  gaming   machine  management   operations  involve  the
selection, ownership,  installation, operation  and maintenance  of video  poker
devices,   reel-type  slot   machines  and   other  gaming   machines  in  local
establishments such  as  taverns,  restaurants, supermarkets,  drug  stores  and
convenience   stores  operated   by  third   parties  ("local  establishments").
Alliance's gaming  machine  management  operations target  local  residents  who
generally frequent establishments close to their homes.
 
    The  following  table  sets  forth certain  historical  data  concerning the
Alliance's Nevada gaming machine management operations:

</TABLE>
 
    Alliance  enters  into  gaming  machine  management  agreements  with  local
establishments  through  either  revenue-sharing  arrangements  or  space  lease
arrangements.  In  revenue-sharing  arrangements,  most  common  with   taverns,
restaurants  and  convenience stores,  Alliance does  not  pay rent,  but rather
receives a percentage of  the revenues from the  electronic gaming machines.  In
such  arrangements, both the owner of  the local establishment and Alliance must
have  a  gaming  license.  In   space  lease  arrangements,  most  common   with
supermarkets  and drug stores, Alliance pays a  fixed rental to the owner of the
local establishment and Alliance receives all  of the revenues derived from  the
gaming  machines. In such arrangements, only Alliance (and not the establishment
owner) is required to  hold a gaming license.  Most of the local  establishments
serviced  by Alliance are restricted by law  to operating no more than 15 gaming
machines.
 
    Revenue-sharing arrangements accounted for  approximately 80%, 86%, 86%  and
86%  of the Nevada gaming machine management  revenues and 77%, 80%, 78% and 78%
of its operating Nevada gaming  machines in 1993, 1994  and fiscal 1995 and  the
six-month  period ended December  31, 1995, respectively.  At December 31, 1995,
the weighted average remaining  term of Alliance's revenue-sharing  arrangements
was   approximately   3.9  years.   Space   lease  arrangements   accounted  for
approximately 20%, 14%,  14% and  14% of  the Nevada  gaming machine  management
revenues  and 23%, 20%, 22%  and 22% of its  operating Nevada gaming machines in
1993, 1994 and fiscal 1995 and the six-month period ended December 31, 1995.  At
December  31,  1995, the  weighted average  remaining  term of  Alliance's space
leases was 2.9 years.
 
    Alliance has  historically  been able  to  renew or  replace  revenues  from
expiring agreements with revenues generated by renewal or replacement contracts.
However,  during the past few years, greater competitive pressures in the gaming
machine management  business  have  increased  the  portion  of  gaming  machine
management  revenues payable  to the local  establishment, decreasing Alliance's
gross margins from  these operations. As  a result, Alliance  has refocused  its
Nevada gaming machine management operations to
 
                                       88
<PAGE>
emphasize  return  on investment  rather than  increasing  market share  and has
undertaken a systematic review process to  adjust its contract mix to  emphasize
higher  margin  contracts  and,  where permissible,  canceling  or  not renewing
unprofitable contracts.
 
    SALES AND  MARKETING.   As  the  largest Nevada  gaming  machine  management
operator,  Alliance believes  that it is  able to differentiate  itself from its
competitors through a full-service  operation providing its customers  marketing
assistance and promotional allowances and using its advanced design capabilities
to  provide electronic  gaming machines  with features  customized to customers'
needs, such as Gambler's Bonus.
 
    Alliance has  developed  and  is  currently  testing  a  new  system  called
"Gambler's  Bonus". Gambler's Bonus is designed as a cardless slot players' club
and player tracking system, which allows  multiple route locations to be  linked
together  into  a  distributed  gaming  environment.  Through  this  technology,
Alliance is able  to provide its  players and  customers with many  of the  same
gaming  choices currently  available only in  a larger  scale casino environment
such  as  multi-location  progressive  jackpots,  bigger  jackpot  payouts   and
traditional  players'  club enhancements.  Additionally,  Alliance will  offer a
series of new and unique games available only to members of the Gambler's  Bonus
players'  club. Since launching  Gamblers' Bonus, the  gaming machines linked to
Gambler's Bonus have experienced an increase in net win per day per machine.  As
of  March  1, 1996,  Alliance had  286  machines linked  to the  Gambler's Bonus
system, and  management expects  to  have Gambler's  Bonus in  approximately  50
locations,  or  a  total of  430  machines, by  the  end  of March  1996  and 88
locations, or a total of 980 machines, by June 1996. Alliance believes Gambler's
Bonus will improve both  the revenues and operating  efficiencies of its  Nevada
gaming  machine management operations and has the potential to create additional
opportunities in the gaming machine  management segment of the gaming  industry.
Additionally,  in  keeping with  the trends  in the  Nevada market,  Alliance is
updating its gaming  device base with  bill-acceptor equipped electronic  gaming
machines which are also expected to improve revenues and operating efficiencies.
 
    CUSTOMERS.  Alliance believes it has a diversified customer base with no one
customer  accounting for  more than  10% of  Alliance's revenues  generated from
Nevada  gaming  machine  management  operations  during  fiscal  1995,  although
approximately  14.1% of such revenues was  generated through an affiliated group
of such  customers. The  affiliated group  consists of  eight partnerships  each
having  one individual partner who  is common to all  such partnerships. For the
year ended December  31, 1995,  Alliance's ten largest  customers accounted  for
approximately 20.7% of Alliance's revenues.
 
    ASSEMBLY  OPERATIONS.    Alliance  currently  manufactures  and  distributes
electronic gaming machines in  Nevada for use in  its gaming machine  management
operations.  Alliance manufactured  approximately 80%  of the  electronic gaming
machines currently used in its Nevada gaming machine management operations.  The
manufacturing  process generally  involves the  assembly of  standard components
which are readily available from various sources. Alliance is not dependent upon
any one  supplier for  the  material or  components  used in  its  manufacturing
operations.
 
    COMPETITION.   Alliance is subject to substantial direct competition for its
revenue-sharing and space lease gaming machine management locations from several
large gaming machine management operators and numerous small operators,  located
principally  in Las Vegas, Reno and  the surrounding areas. Alliance and Jackpot
Enterprises, Inc.  are  the  dominant gaming  machine  management  operators  in
Nevada.  The  principal  method  of competition  for  gaming  machine management
operators includes  the economic  terms of  the revenue-sharing  or space  lease
arrangement,  the services  provided and  the reputation  of the  gaming machine
management operator. Price  competition is  intense and  has reduced  Alliance's
gross margin on such operations over the past several years as the percentage of
the gaming device revenues retained by local establishment owners has increased.
 
  LOUISIANA OPERATIONS
 
    In  March 1992, Alliance  obtained a contract to  operate video poker gaming
devices in  the  greater New  Orleans,  Louisiana area  through  its  controlled
subsidiary, VSI. Alliance entered into an operating agreement which runs through
May  2002 with Fair Grounds  for Alliance to be  the exclusive operator of video
poker devices  at the  only racetrack  and  ten associated  OTB parlors  in  the
greater New Orleans area.
 
                                       89
<PAGE>
Alliance selects, installs, manages and services video poker devices for each of
the  ten facilities owned by Fair Grounds  for which it receives a percentage of
the revenue generated by the devices. Alliance currently has installed 694 video
poker devices in Louisiana.
 
    Under the Louisiana gaming laws and regulations, the majority stockholder of
any entity  operating video  poker  devices in  Louisiana  must be  a  domiciled
resident  of  the State  of Louisiana.  As a  result, Alliance  owns 49%  of the
capital stock of VSI and three  prominent members of the Louisiana business  and
legal  community own the remaining  51%. Pursuant to the  terms of the VSI Loan,
VSI may not pay cash dividends or make any distribution of its property. The VSI
Loan amortizes quarterly until due in full in September 1998 and may be  prepaid
at any time without penalty. Alliance, however, owns all the voting stock of VSI
and  the majority of its officers and directors are Alliance employees. Alliance
has a 71%  interest in dividends  of VSI  in the event  dividends are  declared.
Alliance  also formed two other Louisiana subsidiaries, Southern Video Services,
Inc. ("SVS") and Video Distributing Services,  Inc. ("VDSI"). Both SVS and  VDSI
are  structured in a manner  similar to VSI except  that Alliance is entitled to
receive 60% of  any SVS dividends.  Under the  terms of its  contract with  Fair
Grounds,  Alliance  must  conduct  any  additional  video  poker  operations  in
Louisiana other than gaming at racetracks  or OTB parlors through SVS. To  date,
SVS  and VDSI have not  engaged in business in  Louisiana. In addition, Alliance
and Fair Grounds may have certain mutual rights of first refusal to  participate
in  certain Louisiana riverboat gaming opportunities of the other party on terms
and conditions to be specified.
 
    Alliance is  prohibited by  the  Louisiana Act  from  engaging in  both  the
manufacture  and  operation  of  gaming machines  in  Louisiana  and, therefore,
Alliance does not manufacture its own gaming machines for use in Louisiana.  See
"Risk  Factors--Regulation  by Gaming  Authorities"  and "Gaming  Regulation and
Licensing-- Louisiana."
 
    On December 17, 1993, Alliance incurred a fire loss at the Fairgrounds  Race
Course  in New Orleans where Alliance operated  199 gaming machines prior to the
fire, 193 of which were  destroyed in the fire.  Alliance was fully insured  for
all equipment, leasehold improvements, other assets and business income with the
exception of immaterial deductibles. From December 17, 1993 through December 31,
1995,   Alliance  recorded  approximately  $815,000   of  income  from  business
interruption insurance proceeds. Alliance is discussing settlement of additional
business interruption claims with the insurance carrier.
 
    SALES AND MARKETING.  VSI has developed an extensive marketing program under
the name  "The  Players Room"  which  is  designed to  attract  primarily  local
residents  to its facilities. Media placement has focused on newspaper and radio
advertising with  promotions  including a  player's  club, direct  mailings  and
offerings of a wide range of prizes.
 
    Alliance  intends to  selectively expand its  operations in  the greater New
Orleans area by increasing the number of  video poker devices in certain of  its
existing  locations as demand warrants, as well as investigating the addition of
new locations under its  current contract with the  Fair Grounds in areas  where
competitive  factors are favorable. Under the  Louisiana Act, racetracks and OTB
parlors are permitted  to install  an unlimited  number of  video poker  devices
while truckstops and taverns may install only limited numbers of such devices.
 
    COMPETITION.   Alliance is subject to extensive competition for contracts to
operate video poker  devices and  Alliance's racetrack and  OTB parlors  compete
with  various truck stops and locations  with liquor licenses throughout the New
Orleans area. Each  truck stop  is permitted  to operate  up to  50 video  poker
devices and each tavern is permitted to operate up to three video poker devices.
In  addition, Louisiana  has authorized  riverboat gaming  statewide and several
riverboats are operating  in Orleans  Parish. Riverboats are  permitted to  have
live  table games  and an  unlimited number  of gaming  machines, including slot
machines. Louisiana  has also  authorized one  land-based casino,  permitted  to
include  live table  games and  an unlimited  number of  gaming machines  in New
Orleans, which opened in  May 1995; however, its  operator filed for  bankruptcy
reorganization  and ceased operations in November  1995. The operator has stated
its intention to reopen the land-based casino following reorganization.

CASINO OPERATIONS
 
    RAINBOW CASINO.  On July 16, 1994, the Rainbow Casino located in  Vicksburg,
Mississippi  permanently opened for business. The entire project consists of the
Rainbow Casino,  which is  a 24,000-square  foot casino  owned and  operated  by
Alliance  containing approximately 589  gaming machines and  28 table games, and
also includes  an  89-room Days  Inn  hotel and  a  10-acre indoor  and  outdoor
entertainment  complex called Funtricity Entertainment Park, which was developed
by a subsidiary of Six Flags Corporation. Both the hotel and entertainment park,
which were  substantially completed  in late  May 1995,  are operated  by  third
parties.   The  entire  property,  known  as  Vicksburg  Landing,  is  the  only
destination of its kind in Mississippi containing a casino/family  entertainment
complex.
 
    Through  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary, Alliance  originally  purchased  a 45%
limited partnership interest  in RCVP, a  Mississippi limited partnership  which
owns the casino, all assets (including the gaming equipment) associated with the
casino  and  certain  adjacent  parcels of  land.  The  55%  general partnership
interest in  RCVP was  held  by RCC,  an unaffiliated  Mississippi  corporation.
Pursuant  to a management agreement dated  October 29, 1993, which terminates on
December 31, 2010,  Alliance through  a wholly-owned subsidiary  also serves  as
manager  of the casino. In connection with  the completion of the casino and the
acquisition of its original 45% limited partnership interest, Alliance funded  a
$3,250,000  advance to RCC on the same  terms as RCC's financing from HFS (other
than the fact that such advance is  subordinate to payments due to HFS, and  the
HFS  financing is secured). The HFS financing  provided to RCC on August 3, 1993
consisted of a $7.5 million loan secured by a first priority lien on all of  the
assets  of  the  project.  The  terms of  the  HFS  financing  provide  that, in
connection with the loan and certain marketing services provided by HFS to  RCC,
RCC  will pay to  HFS a perpetual  royalty based upon  the casino's annual gross
gaming revenues of 12% on  the first $40 million, 11%  on the next $10  million,
and 10% thereafter.
 
    On  March  29,  1995,  Alliance  consummated  certain  transactions  whereby
Alliance acquired from RCC the controlling general partnership interest in  RCVP
and  increased its partnership interest. In exchange for the commitments by NGM,
a subsidiary of National Gaming Corporation, and Alliance to provide  additional
financing  (up to a maximum  of $2,000,000 each) to  be used, among other things
for the completion of certain incomplete elements of the project which  survived
the  opening of  the casino  (for which  RCC was  to have  been responsible, but
failed to satisfy) and  for a $500,000 payment  paid to HFS as  a waiver fee,  a
commitment  by  Alliance  to  fund  any  additional  capital  necessary  for the
completion, upgrading or working capital of the project, the following occurred:
(i) a  subsidiary of  Alliance became  the general  partner and  RCC became  the
limited  partner and (ii) the respective partnership interests were adjusted. As
of December 31, 1995, amounts outstanding under the HFS facility and the related
financings aggregated $9.7 million. As adjusted, RCC is entitled to receive  10%
of  the net available cash flows after  debt service and other items, as defined
(which amount increases  to 20%  of cash above  $35,000,000 (i.e.  only on  such
incremental amount)), for a period of 15 years, such period being subject to one
year extensions for each year in which a minimum payment of $50,000 is not made.
In  addition, if during  any continuous 12-month period  until December 31, 1999
the casino achieves earnings from the  project of at least $10.5 million  before
deducting  depreciation, amortization,  certain debt  payments and substantially
all taxes, then Alliance will be obligated  to pay to certain principals of  the
original  partnership  an amount  aggregating $1  million in  cash or  shares of
Common Stock. Also, Alliance's 5.2% royalty on gross revenues was terminated  on
the date it became the general partner.
 
    PLANTATION  STATION.   In April 1990,  Alliance purchased,  for an aggregate
purchase price of $9,700,000, substantially all of the assets of the  Plantation
Station casino ("Plantation Station") located near the border of Reno and Sparks
in  northern Nevada.  Plantation Station  is a  20,000 square-foot  casino which
currently contains approximately 453 gaming  machines, keno and 10 table  games,
including  blackjack, craps, roulette and poker. In addition, Plantation Station
offers a race and sports book which is leased to an independent race and  sports
book  operator and includes a 300-seat  restaurant owned by Alliance. Plantation
Station is convenient to both Reno and Sparks and caters to the local market.
 
                                       91
<PAGE>
    SALES AND MARKETING.  Alliance's  casinos target the cost-conscious  market.
Alliance  promotes its casinos primarily by providing quality food at reasonable
prices and through special promotional events. Alliance believes its  experience
with  operating  small  casinos targeted  to  local  markets will  enable  it to
effectively operate casinos in emerging  gaming jurisdictions that have  similar
characteristics.
 
    COMPETITION.  Gaming of all types is available throughout Nevada in numerous
locations,  including many locations similar to those at which Alliance operates
gaming machines.  All of  these  gaming opportunities  may compete  directly  or
indirectly  with Alliance's  casino operations.  Many of  Alliance's competitors
possess substantially greater financial and other resources than Alliance.  Many
of  such competitors  include large casino-hotels  which offer  more variety and
amenities and may be perceived to  have more favorable locations than  Alliance.
The  operation  of  casinos  is a  highly  competitive  business.  The principal
competitive factors in  the industry  include the  quality and  location of  the
facility,  the nature and quality of the amenities and customer services offered
and the implementation and success  of marketing programs. Plantation  Station's
primary  casino operations  focus on  the local  market rather  than the tourist
market. The  Rainbow  Casino generally  appeals  to both  locals  and  visitors.
Accordingly,  Alliance believes  that the  principal competition  for Plantation
Station's operations  comes from  larger "locals"  casinos. The  Rainbow  Casino
appeals  to both  locals and  visitors to  historic Vicksburg,  Mississippi. The
Rainbow Casino is the fourth gaming  facility to open in Vicksburg,  Mississippi
and  as such, faces  substantial direct competition for  gaming customers in the
region.
 
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
 
    Through  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Native  American  Investment,   Inc.,
Alliance has a contract to develop Class II and III gaming opportunities with an
Indian  tribe  in  California.  Class II  gaming  includes  bingo,  pulltabs and
non-banking card games that are already permitted in a state, and is subject  to
the  concurrent jurisdiction of  the National Indian  Gaming Commission ("NIGC")
and the  applicable  Indian tribe.  Class  III  gaming is  a  residual  category
composed  of all forms of gaming that are  not Class I gaming (which consists of
non-commercial social  games  played  solely  for prizes  of  minimal  value  or
traditional  forms of Indian gaming) or  Class II gaming, including casino-style
gaming. The  contract  is  subject to  negotiations  resulting  in  satisfactory
compacts  with the  state and  approval of the  contract by  the National Indian
Gaming Commission. The Governor of California has to date refused to negotiate a
compact covering Class III electronic gaming machines and house-banked games  in
California  and is  currently engaged  in related  litigation over  the scope of
gaming issues  with certain  Indian tribes.  There  can be  no assurance  as  to
ultimate  outcome of these litigation activities or the successful completion or
operation of any part of this project.
 
    On March 27, 1996, the United States  Supreme Court ruled that a portion  of
the  Indian Gaming  Regulatory Act  was unconstitutional.  As a  result, Federal
courts cannot oversee  negotiations between  Indian tribes  and state  officials
about  the scope  of on-reservation gaming  and Indian tribes  cannot file suits
against states or  state officials.  Management of Alliance  believes that  this
ruling  will have  a materially adverse  effect upon its  Native American casino
development activities  in California.  Accordingly, management  is  considering
whether  the  current  net  book  value of  its  investment  in  Native American
Investment, Inc.,  of $1,800,000  may  not be  fully recoverable  under  current
circumstances,  necessitating a write-off of part  or all of that balance during
the current quarter.
 
    Alliance and Casino  Magic Corporation,  through wholly-owned  subsidiaries,
are  members in KGP and KFP, both  Kansas limited liability companies. Under the
Option Agreement granted  to KGP by  Camptown and TRAK  Southeast, KGP has  been
granted  the  exclusive right,  which right  expires on  September 13,  2013, to
operate gaming machines and/or casino-type gaming at Camptown's racing  facility
in Frontenac, Kansas if and when such gaming is permitted in Kansas. In December
1994,  Camptown  received  a  $3,205,000  loan  from  Boatmens'  Bank  which was
guaranteed  by  KFP.  Alliance  and  Casino  Magic  Corporation  each   invested
$1,580,000  in  KFP which  was  used to  purchase  a certificate  of  deposit to
collateralize its  guarantee. Construction  of  Camptown's racing  facility  was
completed  and the facility opened for business in May 1995. The racing facility
was temporarily  closed on  November  5, 1995  due  to poor  financial  results.
Camptown  filed for reorganization under Chapter  11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
in January 1996  and has stated  an intention to  reopen for business  following
bankruptcy reorganization. Boatmen's Bank demanded payment
 
                                       92
<PAGE>
of the Camptown loan from KFP under the terms of the guaranty. KFP paid the loan
and  Boatmen's  Bank  returned  KFP's certificate  of  deposit  and  KFP assumed
Boatmen's Bank's position in the loan to  Camptown which is secured by a  second
mortgage  on  Camptown's greyhound  racing facility  in Frontenac,  Kansas. TRAK
Southeast and Camptown continue to be bound by the Option Agreement. KFP intends
to vigorously pursue  all of its  rights and remedies  which may include,  among
other  things,  seeking  authority  from  the  bankruptcy  court  to  commence a
foreclosure action. In the case of  a foreclosure action, KFP would be  required
to  assume or pay the existing first mortgage of approximately $2,000,000 if KFP
becomes the purchaser at  any such sale. The  Kansas legislature has  considered
gaming  bills during the 1996 session although none have passed. There can be no
assurance that  gaming  of  any  type  will ever  be  legalized  in  Kansas  and
management intends to continue to evaluate the recoverability of its investment.
 
    As   described  in   "Unaudited  Pro  Forma   Condensed  Combined  Financial
Information," the Company intends to reduce Alliance development expenses, which
related to mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, following the  Transaction.
The  reduction reflects the elimination of  costs that were being incurred prior
to Alliance's accomplishment of its strategic plan to acquire a major electronic
gaming machine manufacturing company. To  accomplish this reduction the  Company
intends  to reduce payroll  costs and fees  paid to consultants  and legal costs
related to non-BGII transactions Alliance had been pursuing.
 
PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS AND TRADE SECRETS
 
    Alliance has copyrighted both the source code and the video presentation  of
its games and registered many of these copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office
under  the  Copyright Act  of  1976. Game  version  upgrades and  new  games are
currently in the  process of  United States patent  and copyright  registration.
Such  copyrights expire at various dates from September 2056 to October 2065. In
addition, some of the games have Federal and/or state trademarks registered with
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  Some of the games (either currently  used
or  reserved for future development) also are  covered by patents filed with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Such patents expire at various dates from  May
2008 to March 2012.
 
    BGII  is obligated under several patent  agreements to pay royalties ranging
from approximately  $50 to  $200 per  game depending  on the  components in  the
gaming  machines. Additionally, based on an amendment to the trademark licensing
agreement between BGII and BEC dated March 31, 1995, BGII is obligated to pay  a
royalty  on new machines sold  of $25 to $30 per  machine beginning on March 31,
1995 with a minimum annual royalty payment of $500,000 for the initial five-year
term of the amended agreement, which  is subject to annual renewals  thereafter.
Royalty  expense for the years  ended December 31, 1993,  1994 and 1995 was $1.1
million, $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
 
    Pursuant to a Trademark and License  Agreement, as amended, between BEC  and
BGII  (the "License Agreement"), BGII licenses the name "Bally" from BEC for use
in the businesses of BGII. In 1992, BGII paid $3.5 million to BEC in the form of
an offset  against a  tax receivable  which  was owed  by BEC  to BGII  for  the
licensing    rights.    See    "Notes   to    BGII's    Consolidated   Financial
Statements--Summary of Significant  Accounting Policies--Intangible Assets."  On
March  27,  1995, BEC  filed  an action  in  the United  States  District Court,
District of New Jersey seeking  to revoke BGII's right to  the use of the  Bally
trade name under the terms of the License Agreement. On March 31, 1995, BGII and
BEC  entered into a Trademark License and Settlement Agreement pursuant to which
the above-described action  was settled. BGII  agreed to pay  BEC a per  machine
royalty  of $25 on the first 20,000 new machines sold annually on or after March
31, 1995 and  $30 per machine  for new machine  unit sales in  excess of  20,000
gaming  machines, with  a minimum  annual royalty of  $500,000 per  year for the
initial five year term  of the amended agreement  and subject to annual  renewal
thereafter.  In addition, BGII agreed  to rebate to BEC  an amount for every new
gaming machine sold  to BEC  or its  affiliates for two  years. As  part of  the
settlement,  BGII retained its right  to the use of the  Bally trade name for an
initial period of five years with annual extensions thereafter at the option  of
BGII.  The  settlement has  not  had a  significant  impact on  BGII's financial
position, results  of  operations or  cash  flows.  BEC has  asserted  that  its
permission  is required for the  surviving company in the  Merger to continue to
utilize the Bally trade  name, an assertion which  BGII has denied. On  February
16,  1996, BGII  received notice  from BEC alleging  that BGII  had violated the
License Agreement by, among other things, granting to Marine Midland a  security
interest  in  general  intangibles. In  such  notice,  BEC also  stated  that as
 
                                       93
<PAGE>
a result of the foregoing, it was immediately terminating the License Agreement.
BGII does not believe that  it has violated the  terms of the License  Agreement
and  BGII will defend its position against  BEC's claims. See the description of
related litigation  under "Risk  Factors--Bally  Trade Name"  and  "--Litigation
Relating to the Merger."
 
    In  July  1992, BGII  reached an  agreement for  an exclusive  license until
December 31, 2005,  subject to extension,  of a  patent relating to  the use  of
credit  cards in gaming machines  and acquired 1% of  the stock of Scotch Twist,
Inc., the  private  company which  granted  this  license in  exchange  for  the
issuance  of  100,001 shares  of BGII's  common  stock. The  licensing agreement
requires BGII to commit $1.2 million  in research and development costs  related
to the patent, plus any costs related to obtaining required regulatory approvals
and licenses. As of December 31, 1995, approximately $1.0 million had been spent
relating to this commitment.
 
    In  connection with a settlement agreement  entered between BEC, Gaming, BGI
Enterprises, BGII and IGT on  December 16, 1992, BGII  sold its interest in  the
Casino Interlink Multiple Location Progressive System (the "Progressive System")
to  IGT.  BGII reserved  certain rights  in  the sale,  including the  rights to
continue to  sell the  Progressive System  (i) within  Europe, (ii)  for use  in
single  locations, and (iii)  worldwide in lottery  applications. BGII agreed to
discontinue general  sales  of the  Progressive  System or  any  similar  system
outside  of Europe for a period of five  years. This agreement is binding on all
successors and assigns of BGII, including the Company.
 
    The Company has registered the trademark "CEI" and its design and the  logos
of  United Gaming,  Inc. and United  Coin Machine  Co. with the  U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office.
 
EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS
 
    As of December 31, 1995, Alliance employed approximately 683 persons in  the
State  of Nevada and  approximately 8 persons  in various states  related to its
business development activities,  VSI employed approximately  73 persons in  the
State  of Louisiana, RCVP employed 374 persons  in the State of Mississippi, and
BGII and its subsidiaries employed  approximately 500 persons in various  states
and  440 persons in Germany.  None of such employees  is covered by a collective
bargaining  agreement.  Wulff's  employees,  however,  are  covered  by   German
regulations which apply industry-wide and are developed, to some extent, through
negotiations between representatives of the metal working industry employers and
the  trade union representing the employees. These regulations are in the nature
of collective bargaining agreements and  cover the general terms and  conditions
of  such items as wages,  vacations and work hours.  The regulations codify what
are considered the common  standards of employment in  the German metal  working
industry.  The  Company  believes  its  relationships  with  its  employees  are
satisfactory.
 
LITIGATION RELATING TO THE MERGER
 
    On or about June 19, 1995, three  purported class actions were filed in  the
Chancery  Court of Delaware by BGII  stockholders against BGII and its directors
(the  "Fiorella,  Cignetti   and  Neuman  Actions")   in  connection  with   the
then-proposed  merger of BGII with WMS (the "WMS Merger"). Also on or about June
19, 1995, a purported class action was  filed in the Delaware Court of  Chancery
by  a BGII stockholder against BGII and its directors and Alliance (the "Strougo
Action") in connection with  the tender offer and  consent solicitation made  by
Alliance  (subsequently superseded by the execution of the Merger Agreement). On
or about July  6, 1995,  the plaintiffs in  the Fiorella,  Cignetti, Neuman  and
Strougo  Actions  (collectively, the  "Stockholder  Plaintiffs") filed  with the
Court a motion  to consolidate  the four  actions. On  or about  July 27,  1995,
certain  of the Stockholder  Plaintiffs filed an  amended complaint that adopted
certain allegations concerning self-dealing by BGII directors in connection with
the merger agreement entered into with WMS (the "WMS Agreement"); added a  claim
relating  to BGII's alleged failure  to hold an annual  meeting as required; and
added WMS as defendant. The amended  complaint also alleged that BGII  intended,
in  violation of Delaware  law, to sell Wulff  without first seeking stockholder
approval of  the sale.  The action  sought an  order enjoining  defendants  from
proceeding  with, consummating or closing the WMS Merger, or rescinding it if it
closed; preventing  the  sale  of  Wulff  without  prior  stockholder  approval;
declaring  invalid BGII's  agreement to pay  WMS a  fee if the  WMS Agreement is
terminated by BGII in
 
                                       94
<PAGE>
certain circumstances; compelling an  auction of BGII and  the provision of  due
diligence to Alliance; scheduling an immediate meeting of BGII stockholders; and
awarding  compensatory damages. Management  believes these claims  to be without
merit and intends to vigorously defend these actions.
 
    On October 23, 1995, WMS instituted a  suit in New York State Court  against
BGII  for  BGII's  failure to  pay  $4.8  million upon  termination  of  the WMS
Agreement. Management intends to vigorously defend this action. On November  22,
1995, BGII answered the complaint and brought counterclaims against WMS alleging
that  WMS  repudiated and  breached the  WMS Agreement  by, among  other things,
failing to act in good faith toward the consummation of the WMS Merger, advising
BGII that it would not perform as agreed but would impose new conditions on  the
WMS  Merger, acting in  excess of its  authority and undermining  the ability of
BGII to perform the  WMS Agreement. On  February 8, 1996  WMS moved for  summary
judgement.  BGII's response to that  motion is presently due  on March 29, 1996.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Alliance has agreed to indemnify BGII  against
such a claim under certain circumstances.
 
    On  September  14, 1995,  a stockholders'  class  and derivative  action was
commenced by Richard  Iannone, an  Alliance stockholder,  against Alliance,  the
members of its current Board of Directors and certain of its former directors in
Federal  District Court in Nevada asserting,  among other matters, that Alliance
has wasted  corporate assets  in its  efforts to  acquire BGII  by, among  other
things,  agreeing to onerous and burdensome financing arrangements that threaten
Alliance's ability to  continue as a  going concern and  that Alliance had  made
false  and misleading statements and omissions in connection with that effort by
failing to disclose the need to refinance an additional $53 million of  existing
BGII  indebtedness, by failing  to disclose how  Alliance would recapitalize the
indebtedness of a combined Alliance/BGII and by failing to disclose the  leading
role  played by  Richard Rainwater in  Alliance's efforts to  acquire control of
BGII which, given  assurances made by  Alliance to gaming  regulators in  Nevada
that  the  unlicensed  Mr.  Rainwater  would not  play  an  active  role  in the
management of Alliance, could expose Alliance to suspension or revocation of its
Nevada gaming  license. In  addition, the  stockholder action  against  Alliance
alleges  that (i) Alliance  substantially inflated its  results of operations by
selling gaming  machines at  inflated prices  in exchange  for promissory  notes
(without  any down payment)  which Alliance knew  could not be  paid in full but
which Alliance  nevertheless  recorded at  full  value, (ii)  Alliance  doctored
reports  sent to  its route  customers and (iii)  the directors  of Alliance had
caused Alliance to  engage in self-dealing  transactions with certain  directors
which  resulted in the  exchange of Alliance  assets for assets  and services of
vastly lesser value. On  September 21, 1995, a  United States magistrate  denied
the  plaintiffs' request for  expedited discovery, stating  that Mr. Iannone was
not an adequate representative and was not  likely to succeed on the merits.  On
October  4,  1995, the  defendants  filed a  motion  to dismiss  the  action. On
December 18,  1995,  the  plaintiff  filed  an  amended  shareholder  derivative
complaint.  The plaintiff is no  longer asserting any class  claims. On March 5,
1996 the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
 
    In June 1995,  BEC asserted that  a certain agreement  between BEC and  BGII
(the "Noncompete Agreement") prohibits the use by BGII of the trade name "Bally"
if  it is merged with a company that is in the casino business within or without
the United States  and operates  such business prior  to January  8, 1999.  BGII
believes  such claim is entirely without merit since the restriction referred to
expired on January 8, 1996 and  in any event does not  relate to the use of  the
"Bally"  trade name, which is covered  by the License Agreement. The restriction
in the Noncompete Agreement will  not have any impact  on the Company since  the
Effective  Time of  the Merger  contemplates a closing  of the  Merger after the
restriction in  the Noncompete  Agreement lapses.  BEC has  not reasserted  this
position  since it was informed by BGII in July 1995 that the restriction lapsed
on January 8, 1996. Consequently, management believes BEC has determined not  to
contest BGII's position.
 
    BEC  has also asserted that a merger  between BGII and the Merger Subsidiary
would violate the terms of the  License Agreement. BGII has denied these  claims
and  management  believes  that the  surviving  company  in the  Merger  will be
permitted to use the  "Bally" trade name  in accordance with  the terms of  such
License  Agreement. Management believes that no breach of such License Agreement
is caused by the Merger and the use  of the "Bally" trade name by the  surviving
corporation. In a letter dated November 9, 1995, BEC reasserted its position. On
November  20, 1995, Alliance, the Merger Subsidiary and BGII commenced an action
against BEC  in  Federal  District  Court  in  Delaware  seeking  a  declaratory
judgment,
 
                                       95
<PAGE>
among  other things, that the surviving company  in the Merger will be permitted
to use  the "Bally"  trade name  in accordance  with the  terms of  the  License
Agreement,  and seeking injunctive  relief (the "Alliance  Action"). On November
28, 1995, BEC commenced an action against BGII, Gaming, Alliance and the  Merger
Subsidiary in Federal District Court in New Jersey to enjoin the defendants from
using the "Bally" trade name (the "BEC Action"). On November 28, 1995, BEC filed
a motion to dismiss, transfer to New Jersey, or stay the Alliance Action pending
resolution  of the BEC Action. The BEC  Action alleges that BGII's continued use
of the trade name after the  Merger will (1) constitute a prohibited  assignment
of  BGII's rights to use the trade name  and (2) exceed the scope of the license
granted to BGII because BGII will be under the control of Alliance. On  December
15,  1995, BEC filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in the BEC Action. At
a hearing  on  January 17,  1996,  the court  declined  to issue  a  preliminary
injunction,  but held BEC's motion in abeyance pending the defendants' motion to
dismiss and for summary judgment, which the defendants had filed on December 26,
1995. Thereafter, the  parties advised  the court  that they  are negotiating  a
settlement  of the BEC  Action. On March  29, 1996, at  the court's request, the
parties entered into a consent order providing for the administrative  dismissal
of  the  BEC Action,  subject  to its  reopening  should the  settlement  not be
consummated. If the parties do not agree on a settlement, BGII, Gaming, Alliance
and the Merger Subsidiary  intend to vigorously defend  their position in  these
actions.  However, there can be no assurance  that BEC will not be successful in
its action to prohibit  the surviving corporation in  the Merger from using  the
"Bally"  trade name.  The loss  of the  "Bally" trade  name may  have a material
adverse effect on the gaming machine operations of the Company.
 
    On February 16, 1996, BGII received  notice from BEC alleging that BGII  had
violated  the  License  Agreement by,  among  other things,  granting  to Marine
Midland a security  interest in general  intangibles. In such  notice, BEC  also
stated  that as a  result of the  foregoing, it was  immediately terminating the
License Agreement. Management does not believe that BGII has violated the  terms
of  the License Agreement and the Company will defend its position against BEC's
claims.
 
OTHER LITIGATION
 
    In 1994,  after  an  intensive  Federal  investigation  of  Gaming's  former
Louisiana   distributor,  eighteen  individuals  were  indicted  on  charges  of
racketeering and fraud against Gaming and the Louisiana regulatory system. Among
those indicted were the former distributor's stockholders, directors,  employees
and  others alleged to be associated with organized crime. Fifteen entered pleas
of guilty before trial and the  remaining three were convicted in October  1995.
In addition, Alan Maiss, a former director and president of BGII, pled guilty to
misprision  of  a  felony  in  connection  with  such  investigation.  BGII, its
subsidiaries and its current employees were not subject to such investigation.
 
    Prior to the conclusion of the Federal criminal case, BGII's activities with
regard to its former VLT distributor in Louisiana were the subject of  inquiries
by  gaming  regulators  and  a  report by  the  New  Jersey  Division  of Gaming
Enforcement dated August 24, 1995. The New Jersey Commission has indicated  that
it will hold a hearing on the matter, but no date has been set at this time. The
New  Jersey report made no specific recommendations for action by the New Jersey
Commission. The Gaming Authorities in Ontario, Canada, who have investigated the
matter, issued a gaming registration to Gaming on February 8, 1996.
 
    On September 25,  1995, BGII  was named  as a  defendant in  a class  action
lawsuit  filed in Federal District Court in Nevada, by Larry Schreirer on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated (the "plaintiffs"). The  plaintiffs
filed  suit against  the Company and  approximately 45 other  defendants (each a
"defendant," and collectively the "defendants").  Each defendant is involved  in
the  gaming business  as either a  gaming machine  manufacturer, distributor, or
casino operator.  The class  action  lawsuit arises  out of  alleged  fraudulent
marketing  and  operation of  casino video  poker  machines and  electronic slot
machines. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants have engaged in a course  of
fraudulent  and misleading conduct intended to  induce people into playing their
gaming machines based on a false  belief concerning how those machines  actually
operate  as well as the extent to which  there is actually an opportunity to win
on any given play. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants' actions constitute
violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)  and
give  rise to claims of  common law fraud and  unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs
are
 
                                       96
<PAGE>
seeking monetary damages in excess of  one billion dollars, and are asking  that
any  damage awards be trebled under  applicable Federal law. Management believes
the plaintiffs' lawsuit to be without  merit. The Company intends to  vigorously
pursue all legal defenses available to it.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
    The  Company is  subject to Federal,  state and local  laws, regulations and
ordinances that  (i)  govern activities  or  operations that  may  have  adverse
environmental  effects, such as discharges to air  and water as well as handling
and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability
for the costs of cleaning up,  and certain damages resulting from, past  spills,
disposals  or other  releases of hazardous  substances (together, "Environmental
Laws"). The Company uses  certain substances and  generates certain wastes  that
are  regulated or may  be deemed hazardous  under applicable Environmental Laws.
From time to time, the Company's operations may result in certain  noncompliance
with  applicable requirements  under Environmental Laws.  Any past noncompliance
with applicable requirements  under Environmental  Laws has not  had a  material
adverse  effect on the  Company's results of  operations or financial condition.
Further, the Company believes that any noncompliance or cleanup liability  under
current  Environmental  Laws would  not have  a material  adverse effect  on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition.

                        GAMING REGULATION AND LICENSING
 
    The  manufacture and  distribution of gaming  machines and  the operation of
gaming facilities are  subject to  extensive Federal, state,  local and  foreign
regulation.  Although the laws  and regulations of  the various jurisdictions in
which the Company  operates and  into which the  Company may  expand its  gaming
operations  vary in  their technical requirements  and are  subject to amendment
from time  to  time, virtually  all  of these  jurisdictions  require  licenses,
permits,   documentation  of  qualification,  including  evidence  of  financial
stability, and other forms of approval for companies engaged in the  manufacture
and  distribution of gaming machines and  the operation of gaming facilities, as
well as for  the officers, directors,  major stockholders and  key personnel  of
such companies.
 
    Any  person which acquires a controlling  interest in the Company would have
to meet the requirements of all governmental bodies which regulate the Company's
gaming business. A change in the make-up of the Company's Board of Directors and
management  would  require  the  various  Gaming  Authorities  to  examine   the
qualifications  of the new board and management. The past conduct of management,
which may be re-examined in conjunction with hearings in Nevada, New Jersey  and
Louisiana,  would  normally not  be  a controlling  factor  in passing  upon the
suitability of  a successor  group when  that prior  management group  would  no
longer  be in control  of the Company.  Absent actual approval  of the successor
interests controlling the Company after a merger or other acquisition, there can
be no assurances that governmental authorities would give required approvals  to
any particular persons or groups.
 
NEVADA
 
    The  ownership and operation of casino  gaming facilities in Nevada, and the
manufacture, distribution and operation of gaming machines and cashless wagering
systems for use or play  in Nevada, or for  distribution outside of Nevada,  are
subject  to (i)  the Nevada Gaming  Control Act and  the regulations promulgated
thereunder (the "Nevada Act") and (ii) various local ordinances and regulations.
The  Company's  gaming,  manufacturing,  distributing  and  slot  machine  route
operations  (herein referred to  as "gaming machine  management operations") are
subject to  the licensing  and regulatory  control of  the Nevada  State  Gaming
Control  Board (the "Nevada  Board"), the Nevada  Gaming Commission (the "Nevada
Commission"), the County Liquor  and Gaming Licensing  Board (the "Clark  County
Board")  and various other county and city regulatory agencies, all of which are
collectively referred to as the "Nevada Gaming Authorities."
 
    The laws,  regulations  and  supervisory procedures  of  the  Nevada  Gaming
Authorities  are based  upon declarations of  public policy  which are concerned
with, among other things, (i) the  prevention of unsavory or unsuitable  persons
from  having any direct or  indirect involvement with gaming  at any time in any
capacity; (ii)  the  strict regulation  of  all persons,  locations,  practices,
associations  and  activities  related  to  the  operation  of  licensed  gaming
establishments and the manufacture and distribution of gaming machines, cashless
wagering  systems  and  associated   equipment;  (iii)  the  establishment   and
maintenance  of  responsible  accounting  practices  and  procedures;  (iv)  the
maintenance of  effective control  over the  financial practices  of  licensees,
including  establishment of minimum  procedures for internal  fiscal affairs and
the safeguarding of assets and  revenues, providing reliable record keeping  and
requiring the filing of periodic reports with the Nevada Gaming Authorities; (v)
the prevention of cheating and fraudulent practices; and (vi) providing a source
of  state and local revenues through taxation and licensing fees. Change in such
laws, regulations and  procedures could  have an  adverse effect  on the  gaming
related operations conducted by the Company.
 
    Alliance  and  BGII  are  each  registered  with  the  Nevada  Commission as
publicly-traded corporations ("Registered  Corporations"). The Company's  direct
and  indirect  subsidiaries  conduct  gaming  operations  at  various locations,
conduct gaming  machine management  operations  and manufacture  and  distribute
electronic  gaming machines (collectively,  the "Alliance Nevada Subsidiaries").
Gaming, the operating  subsidiary for BGII's  domestic gaming operations,  which
manufactures  and distributes electronic gaming machines, is also required to be
licensed by the  Nevada Gaming Authorities.  The licenses held  by the  Alliance
Nevada  Subsidiaries and Gaming  require the periodic payments  of fees, or fees
and taxes, and are not transferable. Alliance and BGII have been found  suitable
to  own the stock of  the Nevada Subsidiaries and  Gaming, respectively, each of
which  is  a  corporate  licensee  (individually,  a  "Corporate  Licensee"  and
collectively,
 
                                       98
<PAGE>
"Corporate  Licensees")  under  the  terms  of  the  Nevada  Act.  As Registered
Corporations, Alliance and  BGII are  required periodically  to submit  detailed
financial  and operating reports to the  Nevada Commission and furnish any other
information which the  Nevada Commission  may require.  No person  may become  a
stockholder  of, or  receive any percentage  of the profits  from, the Corporate
Licensees without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada  Gaming
Authorities.  Alliance, BGII and the Corporate  Licensees have obtained from the
Nevada Gaming  Authorities the  various  registrations, approvals,  permits  and
licenses  required  in  order to  engage  in gaming  activities,  gaming machine
management operations,  and  in  the  manufacture  and  distribution  of  gaming
machines for use or play in Nevada or for distribution outside of Nevada, as the
case may be.
 
    The  Merger must be approved  in advance by the  Nevada Board and the Nevada
Commission. Hearings are currently scheduled before the Nevada Board on April 3,
1996 and before the Nevada Commission on April 25, 1996 to obtain the  necessary
approvals.
 
    All  gaming machines  and cashless  wagering systems  that are manufactured,
sold or distributed for use  or play in Nevada,  or for distribution outside  of
Nevada,  must be manufactured by licensed  manufacturers and distributed or sold
by licensed distributors. All  gaming machines manufactured for  use or play  in
Nevada must be approved by the Nevada Commission before distribution or exposure
for play. The approval process for gaming machines and cashless wagering systems
includes rigorous testing by the Nevada Board, a field trial and a determination
as  to  whether the  gaming machines  or cashless  wagering system  meets strict
technical standards  that  are  set  forth in  the  regulations  of  the  Nevada
Commission.  Associated  equipment  must  be  administratively  approved  by the
Chairman of the Nevada Board before it is distributed for use in Nevada.
 
    The Nevada  Gaming Authorities  may  investigate any  individual who  has  a
material  relationship  to, or  material involvement  with,  the Company  or the
Corporate Licensees in order to determine whether such individual is suitable or
should be  licensed as  a business  associate of  a gaming  licensee.  Officers,
directors  and  key  employees of  the  Company  who are  actively  and directly
involved in the licensed activities of  the Corporate Licensees may be  required
to  be licensed or found  suitable by the Nevada  Gaming Authorities. The Nevada
Gaming Authorities may  deny an application  for licensing for  any cause  which
they  deem reasonable. A finding of  suitability is comparable to licensing, and
both require submission of detailed personal and financial information  followed
by  a  thorough  investigation. The  applicant  for  licensing or  a  finding of
suitability must pay  all the costs  of the investigation.  Changes in  licensed
positions  must be reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities who, in addition to
their authority  to  deny  an  application  for  a  finding  of  suitability  or
licensure, have jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a corporate position.
 
    If  the Nevada Gaming Authorities  were to find an  officer, director or key
employee  unsuitable  for   licensing  or  unsuitable   to  continue  having   a
relationship with the Company or the Corporate Licensees, the companies involved
would  have to sever all relationships with such person. In addition, the Nevada
Commission may require the Company or  the Corporate Licensees to terminate  the
employment   of  any  person  who  refuses  to  file  appropriate  applications.
Determinations of suitability or  of questions pertaining  to licensing are  not
subject to judicial review in Nevada.
 
    The Company and the Corporate Licensees that hold nonrestricted licenses are
required  to  submit  detailed financial  and  operating reports  to  the Nevada
Commission. A nonrestricted license is a license for an operation consisting  of
16  or more slot machines, or a license for any number of slot machines together
with  any  other  game,  gaming  device,  race  book  or  sports  pool  at   one
establishment. Substantially all material loans, leases, sales of securities and
similar   financing  transactions  by  the   Corporate  Licensees  that  hold  a
nonrestricted license must be reported to or approved by the Nevada Commission.
 
    If it  were determined  that the  Nevada  Act was  violated by  a  Corporate
Licensee,  the licenses  it holds  could be  limited, conditioned,  suspended or
revoked, subject to compliance with certain statutory and regulatory procedures.
In addition, the Company  and the Corporate Licensees  and the persons  involved
could  be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of the Nevada
Act at the discretion of the  Nevada Commission. Further, a supervisor could  be
appointed   by  the  Nevada  Commission  to  operate  any  nonrestricted  gaming
establishment operated by a Corporate Licensee and, under certain circumstances,
 
                                       99
<PAGE>
earnings generated during  the supervisor's appointment  (except for  reasonable
rental  of the casino)  could be forfeited  to the State  of Nevada. Limitation,
conditioning or suspension of the gaming licenses of the Corporate Licensees  or
the  appointment of  a supervisor  could (and  revocation of  any gaming license
would) materially adversely affect the gaming related operations of the Company.
 
    Any beneficial holder of the Company's voting securities, regardless of  the
number of shares owned, may be required to file an application, be investigated,
and  have his or her suitability as  a beneficial holder of the Company's voting
securities determined if the Nevada Commission  has reason to believe that  such
ownership  would otherwise  be inconsistent  with the  declared policies  of the
State of Nevada. The applicant must  pay all costs of investigation incurred  by
the Nevada Gaming Authorities in conducting any such investigation.
 
    The Nevada Act requires any person who acquires more than 5% of a Registered
Corporation's  voting  securities  to  report  the  acquisition  to  the  Nevada
Commission. The Nevada Act requires that beneficial owners of more than 10% of a
Registered Corporation's voting securities apply to the Nevada Commission for  a
finding  of suitability within  30 days after  the Chairman of  the Nevada Board
mails the written notice requiring such filing. Under certain circumstances,  an
"institutional  investor" as defined in the Nevada Act, which acquires more than
10%, but not more than 15%, of a Registered Corporation's voting securities  may
apply  to the Nevada Commission  for a waiver of  such finding of suitability if
such institutional investor holds the  securities for investment purposes  only.
An  institutional investor  shall not  be deemed  to hold  voting securities for
investment purposes unless the voting securities  were acquired and are held  in
the  ordinary course of  business as an  institutional investor and  not for the
purpose of causing, directly  or indirectly, the election  of a majority of  the
members  of the board of directors of  the Registered Corporation, any change in
the Registered Corporation's corporate charter, bylaws, management, policies  or
operations  of the Registered  Corporation, or any of  its gaming affiliates, or
any other  action which  the Nevada  Commission finds  to be  inconsistent  with
holding  the Registered Corporation's voting  securities for investment purposes
only. Activities which  are not deemed  to be inconsistent  with holding  voting
securities for investment purposes only include: (i) voting on all matters voted
on  by stockholders; (ii) making financial  and other inquiries of management of
the type normally made by securities analysts for informational purposes and not
to cause a  change in  its management, policies  or operations;  and (iii)  such
other  activities as the  Nevada Commission may determine  to be consistent with
such investment intent. If the beneficial  holder of voting securities who  must
be  found  suitable  is a  corporation,  partnership  or trust,  it  must submit
detailed business  and  financial information  including  a list  of  beneficial
owners. The applicant is required to pay all costs of investigation.
 
    Any  person who fails or refuses to apply  for a finding of suitability or a
license within 30 days after being ordered to do so by the Nevada Commission  or
the  Chairman of the Nevada Board may be found unsuitable. The same restrictions
apply to a record owner  if the record owner,  after request, fails to  identify
the  beneficial owner. Any stockholder found  unsuitable and who holds, directly
or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of  the common stock beyond such  period
of  time  as may  be prescribed  by the  Nevada  Commission may  be guilty  of a
criminal offense. The  Company is subject  to disciplinary action  if, after  it
receives  notice that a person is unsuitable to  be a stockholder or to have any
other relationship with the Company or the Corporate Licensees, the Company  (i)
pays that person any dividend or interest upon voting securities of the Company,
(ii)  allows that person  to exercise, directly or  indirectly, any voting right
conferred through securities held by that person, (iii) pays remuneration in any
form to that person for services rendered or otherwise, or (iv) fails to  pursue
all  lawful efforts to  require such unsuitable person  to relinquish his voting
securities, including,  if  necessary, the  immediate  purchase of  said  voting
securities  for cash at fair market  value. Additionally, the Clark County Board
has taken the position that it has  the authority to approve all persons  owning
or controlling the stock of any corporation controlling a gaming license.
 
    The Nevada Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any debt
securities  of a  Registered Corporation, such  as the Senior  Secured Notes, to
file applications,  be  investigated and  be  found  suitable to  own  the  debt
security  if the  Nevada Commission  has reason  to believe  that such ownership
would otherwise  be inconsistent  with the  declared policies  of the  State  of
Nevada.  If the Nevada Commission determines that  a person is unsuitable to own
such security,  then pursuant  to  the Nevada  Act, the  Registered  Corporation
 
                                      100
<PAGE>
can  be sanctioned, including the  loss of its approvals,  if, without the prior
approval of  the  Nevada Commission,  it  (i)  pays the  unsuitable  person  any
dividend,  interest or any  distribution whatsoever, (ii)  recognizes any voting
right by such unsuitable person in  connection with such securities; (iii)  pays
the unsuitable person remuneration in any form; or (iv) makes any payment to the
unsuitable  person  by  way  of  principal,  redemption,  conversion,  exchange,
liquidation or similar transaction.
 
    The Company is required  to maintain current stock  ledgers in Nevada  which
may  be examined by the Nevada Gaming Authorities at any time. If any securities
are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record holder may be required
to  disclose  the  identity  of  the  beneficial  owner  to  the  Nevada  Gaming
Authorities.  A failure to make  such disclosure may be  grounds for finding the
record holder  unsuitable.  The  Company  is also  required  to  render  maximum
assistance  in  determining the  identity of  the  beneficial owner.  The Nevada
Commission has the power to impose a requirement that a Registered Corporation's
stock certificates bear a legend indicating  that the securities are subject  to
the  Nevada  Act. The  Nevada  Commission has  imposed  this requirement  on the
Company.
 
    The Company may not  make a public  offering of its  securities such as  the
Common  Stock,  Preferred  Stock and  Senior  Secured Notes,  without  the prior
approval of the Nevada  Commission if the securities  or proceeds therefrom  are
intended  to  be used  to  construct, acquire  or  finance gaming  facilities in
Nevada, or  to retire  or extend  obligations incurred  for such  purposes.  The
Company  has  filed an  application for  approval of  the Offerings  and related
transactions, including stock pledges, negative pledges, security interests  and
guarantees  in  connection with  the  Note Offering.  However,  there can  be no
assurance that the Offerings will be approved or that if approved, they will  be
approved on a timely basis. Any such approval, if granted, does not constitute a
finding, recommendation or approval by the Nevada Commission or the Nevada Board
as to the accuracy or adequacy of the prospectus or the investment merits of the
securities  offered. Any representation to the  contrary is unlawful. The Nevada
Commission has also  imposed a  requirement on Alliance  and BGII  that it  must
receive  the prior administrative approval of  the Nevada Board Chairman for any
offer for the sale of  an equity security in a  private transaction such as  the
Private  Placement. The Company has filed  a request for administrative approval
of the Private  Placement. However, there  can be no  assurance that the  Nevada
Board  Chairman will approve the Private Placement or that he will approve it on
a timely basis.
 
    Changes in control of  the Company through  merger, consolidation, stock  or
asset  acquisitions, management or consulting agreements,  or any act or conduct
by a person whereby he or she  obtains control, may not occur without the  prior
approval  of the  Nevada Commission.  Entities seeking  to acquire  control of a
Registered Corporation must satisfy the Nevada Board and Nevada Commission in  a
variety  of stringent  standards prior  to assuming  control of  such Registered
Corporation. The Nevada  Commission may also  require controlling  stockholders,
officers,  directors  and  other  persons  having  a  material  relationship  or
involvement with the entity proposing to acquire control to be investigated  and
licensed  as a  part of  the approval process  relating to  the transaction. The
Merger and certain related transactions require the prior approval of the Nevada
Commission.
 
    The Nevada legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions opposed
by management, repurchases  of voting securities  and corporate defense  tactics
affecting  Nevada corporate  gaming licensees, and  Registered Corporations that
are affiliated with those operations, may be injurious to stable and  productive
corporate  gaming. The Nevada Commission has  established a regulatory scheme to
ameliorate the  potentially  adverse  effects of  these  business  practices  on
Nevada's  gaming  industry and  to further  Nevada's policy  to: (i)  assure the
financial stability of  corporate gaming  licensees and  their affiliates;  (ii)
preserve  the beneficial aspects  of conducting business  in the corporate form;
and (iii)  promote a  neutral environment  for orderly  governance of  corporate
affairs.  Approvals  are, in  certain  circumstances, required  from  the Nevada
Commission before a Registered Corporation  can make exceptional repurchases  of
voting  securities above the current market price thereof and before a corporate
acquisition opposed  by  management can  be  consummated. The  Nevada  Act  also
requires prior approval of a plan of recapitalization proposed by the Registered
Corporation's  Board of Directors in response to a tender offer made directly to
the Registered Corporation's stockholders for the purposes of acquiring  control
of the Registered Corporation.

    License  fees and taxes, computed  in various ways depending  on the type of
gaming or activity  involved, are payable  to the  State of Nevada,  and to  the
counties and cities in which the Licensees' respective operations are conducted.
Depending  upon the  particular fee  or tax involved,  these fees  and taxes are
payable either monthly, quarterly  or annually and are  based upon either (i)  a
percentage  of the gross  revenues received, (ii) the  number of gaming machines
operated, or (iii) the number of  games operated. A casino entertainment tax  is
also  paid by casino  operations where entertainment  is furnished in connection
with the selling of  food or refreshments. The  Corporate Licensees that hold  a
license  as  an  operator  of  a gaming  device  route  or  a  manufacturer's or
distributor's license also pay certain fees to the State of Nevada.
 
    Any person who is licensed, required to be licensed, registered, required to
be registered,  or  is under  common  control with  such  persons  (collectively
"Licensees"), and who proposes to become involved in a gaming venture outside of
Nevada, is required to deposit with the Nevada Board, and thereafter maintain, a
revolving  fund in the amount of $10,000 to pay the expenses of investigation by
the Nevada Board of its participation in such foreign gaming. The revolving fund
is subject to increase or decrease  in the discretion of the Nevada  Commission.
Thereafter, Licensees are required to comply with certain reporting requirements
imposed  by the Nevada Act. Licensees are also subject to disciplinary action by
the Nevada  Commission  if  they  knowingly violate  any  laws  of  the  foreign
jurisdiction  pertaining to  the foreign gaming  operation, fail  to conduct the
foreign gaming  operation  in  accordance  with the  standards  of  honesty  and
integrity  required of Nevada  gaming operations, engage  in activities that are
harmful to the State of Nevada or  its ability to collect gaming taxes and  fees
or  employ a person in  the foreign operations who has  been denied a license or
finding of suitability in Nevada on the ground of personal unsuitability.
 
    The sale of alcoholic  beverages at establishments  operated by a  Corporate
Licensee  are subject to  licensing, control and  regulation by applicable local
regulatory agencies. All licenses  are revocable and  are not transferable.  The
agencies  involved have  full power to  limit, condition, suspend  or revoke any
such license, and any such disciplinary action could (and revocation would) have
a material adverse affect upon the operations of the Corporate Licensees.
 
LOUISIANA
 
    The manufacture, distribution, servicing and  operation of video draw  poker
devices  ("Devices") in Louisiana  is subject to the  Louisiana Video Draw Poker
Devices Control Law and  the Rules and  Regulations promulgated thereunder  (the
"Louisiana  Act"). Licensing  and regulatory  control is  provided by  the Video
Gaming Division of the Gaming Enforcement Section of the Office of State  Police
within  the Department  of Public Safety  and Corrections  (the "Division"). The
laws and regulations of the Division  are based upon a primary consideration  of
maintaining  the health,  welfare and  safety of the  general public  and upon a
policy which  is  concerned  with  protecting the  video  gaming  industry  from
elements  of  organized crime,  illegal  gambling activities  and  other harmful
elements as well as protecting the  public from illegal and unscrupulous  gaming
to  ensure the fair play of Devices. The newly elected Governor of Louisiana has
called  for  a  referendum  to  determine  the  future  of  land-based  casinos,
riverboats,  and video  poker machines  taken as  a group.  In response  to this
issue, a number of  legislators have expressed the  view that the voters  should
have  a choice as to whether to continue to  allow any or all of the above types
of gaming.  To date  no  action has  been taken.  See  "Risk Factors  --  Strict
Regulation by Gaming Authorities."
 
    Each  of  the  indirect  operating  subsidiaries  for  the  Company's gaming
operations in Louisiana, VSI  and SVS, has  been granted a  license as a  Device
owner  by the  Division. Another indirect  subsidiary of the  Company, VDSI, has
been granted a license as a distributor by the Division. Gaming has been granted
a license  as a  manufacturer by  the Division.  These gaming  subsidiaries  are
"Louisiana Licensees" under the terms of the Louisiana Act. The licenses held by
such  Louisiana Licensees expire at midnight on June 30 of each year and must be
renewed annually through payment of  fees. All license fees  must be paid on  or
before May 15 in each year licenses are renewable.
 
    The Division may deny, impose a condition on or suspend or revoke a license,
renewal or application for a license for violations of any rules and regulations
of  the Division or any violations of  the Louisiana Act. In addition, fines for
violations of gaming  laws or regulations  may be levied  against the  Louisiana
Licensees  and the persons involved  for each violation of  the gaming laws. The
issuance, condition, denial, suspension or
 
                                      102
<PAGE>
revocation is a  pure and absolute  privilege and  is at the  discretion of  the
Division  in accordance with the  provisions of the Louisiana  Act. A license is
not property or a protected interest under the constitution of either the United
States or the State of Louisiana.
 
    The Division has the authority to conduct overt and covert investigations of
any person  involved directly  or indirectly  in the  video gaming  industry  in
Louisiana.  This investigation  may extend  to information  regarding a person's
immediate family and relatives and their affiliations with certain organizations
or other business entities. The investigation may also extend to any person  who
has  or controls  more than  a 5%  ownership, income  or profits  interest in an
applicant for or holder of a  license or who is a  key employee, or who has  the
ability  to exercise  significant influence  over the  licensee. All  persons or
entities investigated must meet all suitability requirements and  qualifications
for a licensee. The Division may deny an application for licensing for any cause
which  it may deem reasonable. The applicant for licensing must pay a filing fee
which also covers the cost of the investigation.
 
    In order for a corporation to be licensed as a distributor by the  Division,
a  majority of the  stock of the corporation  must be owned  by persons who have
been domiciled in Louisiana for a period of at least two years prior to the date
of the application.
 
    In addition to licensure  as a manufacturer of  Devices under the  Louisiana
Act,  Gaming  has been  licensed by  the  Division as  a manufacturer  under the
Louisiana Riverboat Economic Development and Gaming Control Act (the  "Louisiana
Riverboat  Act"). Gaming's application for a permanent manufacturer's license as
it relates to the  land-based casino was  pending before LEDGC  at the time  the
operator of the land-based casino filed for bankruptcy reorganization and ceased
operations,  resulting in  the termination of  funding for  the LEDGC regulatory
operations and  the  effective closure  of  the LEDGC's  operations.  See  "Risk
Factors--Ongoing    BGII   Regulatory   Investigations"   and   "Business--Other
Litigation."
 
    The Division notified Alliance that it would be necessary to obtain approval
from them prior to the Effective Time. To that effect, the Company has made  all
requests necessary to obtain any such licenses, permits or approvals required to
be obtained prior to the Effective Time.
 
MISSISSIPPI
 
    The manufacture, distribution, ownership and operation of gaming machines in
Mississippi  is  subject  to extensive  state  and local  laws  and regulations,
including the Mississippi  Gaming Control  Act (the "Mississippi  Act") and  the
regulations   (the  "Mississippi   Regulations")  promulgated   thereunder.  The
Mississippi Gaming Commission (the "Mississippi Commission") oversees  licensing
and  regulatory compliance. Gaming in Mississippi  can be legally conducted only
on vessels of  a certain  minimum size in  navigable waters  of the  Mississippi
River  or in waters  of the State of  Mississippi which lie  adjacent and to the
south (principally in the Gulf of  Mexico) of the counties of Hancock,  Harrison
and  Jackson, and only in counties in Mississippi in which the registered voters
have not voted to  prohibit such activities. The  voters in Jackson County,  the
southeastern-most  county of Mississippi, have voted  to prohibit gaming in that
county. However, gaming could be authorized in Jackson County should the  voters
fail  to disapprove of gaming  in that county in  any referendum, which could be
held annually. The underlying  policy of the Mississippi  Act is to ensure  that
gaming  operations in Mississippi are  conducted (i) honestly and competitively,
(ii) free of  criminal and  corruptive influences and  (iii) in  a manner  which
protects  the rights of the creditors of gaming operations. Gaming in the future
may also  be  legally conducted  on  American  Indian lands  in  Mississippi  as
regulated  in part by the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which activity will
not be subject to the Mississippi Act.
 
    The Mississippi Act  requires that  a person (including  any corporation  or
other  entity) must be  licensed to conduct gaming  activities in Mississippi. A
license to own and operate gaming machines  will be issued only for a  specified
location which has been approved as a gaming site by the Mississippi Commission.
The  Company  through  its interest  in  RCVP  must apply  for  renewal  of such
licenses, which renewal cannot be assured. Gaming holds a license to manufacture
and distribute  gaming machines.  The Mississippi  Act also  requires that  each
officer  or  director of  a gaming  licensee,  or other  person who  exercises a
significant influence over the licensee, either directly or indirectly, must  be
found  suitable by the Mississippi Commission.  In addition, any employee of the
licensee who is directly involved in gaming  must obtain a work permit from  the
Mississippi Commission. The
 
                                      103
<PAGE>
Mississippi Commission will not issue a license or make a finding of suitability
unless  it is satisfied, only  after an extensive investigation  paid for by the
applicant, that the persons associated with the gaming licensee or applicant for
a license are  of good  character, honesty and  integrity, with  no relevant  or
material criminal record. In addition, the Mississippi Commission will not issue
a license unless it is satisfied that the licensee is adequately financed or has
a  reasonable plan to  finance its proposed  operations from acceptable sources,
and that persons associated with the applicant have sufficient business probity,
competence and  experience to  engage  in the  proposed gaming  enterprise.  The
Mississippi  Commission may refuse to  issue a work permit  to a gaming employee
(i) if the employee  has committed larceny, embezzlement  or any crime of  moral
turpitude, or knowingly violated the Mississippi Act or Mississippi Regulations,
or  (ii) for any other reasonable cause. If an employee is denied a license, the
Company must terminate his or her employment.
 
    The Merger must  be approved  in advance  by the  Mississippi Commission.  A
hearing  is scheduled  before the  Mississippi Commission  on April  18, 1996 to
obtain the necessary approval.
 
    The Mississippi Commission has the  power to deny, limit, condition,  revoke
and  suspend any  license, finding of  suitability or registration,  or fine any
person, as  it  deems reasonable  and  in the  public  interest, subject  to  an
opportunity  for a hearing. The Mississippi  Commission may fine any licensee or
person who  was  found  suitable  up  to $100,000  for  each  violation  of  the
Mississippi  Act  or the  Mississippi  Regulations which  is  the subject  of an
initial complaint,  and up  to $250,000  for each  such violation  which is  the
subject  of any subsequent complaint. The  Mississippi Act provides for judicial
review of any  final decision  of the Mississippi  Commission by  petition to  a
Mississippi Circuit Court, but filing of such petition does not necessarily stay
any  action  by the  Mississippi Commission  pending a  decision by  the Circuit
Court.
 
    Each gaming licensee  must pay  a license fee  to the  State of  Mississippi
based  upon "gaming receipts" (generally defined  as gross receipts less payouts
to customers  as winnings).  The license  fee equals  4% of  gaming receipts  of
$50,000 or less per month, 6% of gaming receipts over $50,000 and up to $134,000
per  month and  8% of  gaming receipts  over $134,000  per month.  The foregoing
license fees are allowed  as a credit against  any Mississippi State income  tax
liability  for the year paid. An additional  license fee, equal to $100 for each
table game  conducted or  planned to  be conducted  on the  gaming premises,  is
payable  to the State  of Mississippi annually in  advance. Municipal and county
fees may also be assessed and vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. All  taxes
and  fees  must  be  paid  timely  in order  to  retain  a  gaming  license. The
Mississippi  Act  also  imposes  certain  audit  and  record  keeping  laws  and
regulations,  primarily to ensure compliance with the Mississippi Act, including
compliance with the provisions relating to the payment of license fees.
 
    Under the  Mississippi Regulations,  a gaming  licensee cannot  be  publicly
held,  although an affiliated corporation, such  as the Company, may be publicly
held so  long  as the  Company  registers with  and  gets the  approval  of  the
Mississippi Commission. In addition, approval of any subsequent public offerings
of  the  securities  of  the  Company  must  be  obtained  from  the Mississippi
Commission if any part  of the proceeds  from that offering  are intended to  be
used  to pay for or reduce debt used to pay for the construction, acquisition or
operation of any gaming facility in Mississippi.
 
    Under the Mississippi  Regulations, a  person is  prohibited from  acquiring
control  of a licensee without the prior approval of the Mississippi Commission.
Any person who, directly or indirectly, or in association with others,  acquires
beneficial  ownership of more  than five percent  of a licensee  must notify the
Mississippi Commission  of  this  acquisition. The  Mississippi  Commission  may
require  that a  person be found  suitable if  that person holds  between a five
percent and ten  percent ownership position  and must require  that a person  be
found  suitable  if  that person  owns  more  than ten  percent  of  a licensee.
Furthermore, regardless  of the  amount of  ownership, any  person who  acquires
beneficial  ownership may  be required to  be found suitable  if the Mississippi
Commission has reason to believe that the acquisition of such ownership would be
inconsistent with the declared policy of Mississippi. Any person who is required
to be  found  suitable  must  apply  for  a  finding  of  suitability  from  the
Mississippi  Commission within 30 days after being  requested to do so, and must
deposit with the State Tax  Commission a sum of money  which is adequate to  pay
the anticipated investigatory costs associated with such finding. Any person who
is  found not to be suitable by the Mississippi Commission will not be permitted
to have any  direct or indirect  ownership in  the licensee. Any  person who  is
required  to apply for a finding of suitability and fails to do so, or who fails
to dispose of his or her interest in the licensee if found unsuitable, is guilty
of a
 
                                      104
<PAGE>
misdemeanor. If  a finding  of suitability  with respect  to any  person is  not
applied  for where  required, or if  it is  denied a revoked  by the Mississippi
Commission, the  licensee  is not  permitted  to  pay such  person  of  services
rendered, or to employ or enter into any contract with such person.
 
    Dockside casinos may be required to be moved to a "safe harbor" in the event
of  a threatened hurricane.  The appropriate county  civil defense director will
determine when such  movement is required.  In general, it  is anticipated  that
casino  vessels will have to be moved in the event of a Class III or more severe
hurricane warning, where  there is the  possibility of 125  miles per hour  wind
speeds.  The movement of  a casino barge will  not necessarily insure protection
against damage or  destruction by  a hurricane.  Furthermore, the  removal of  a
casino  barge will  generally require  several days,  and as  a consequence, the
casino barge will be out of business during that movement, even if no  hurricane
strikes the casino site.
 
    Any  permanently moored vessel used for casino operations must meet the fire
safety standard of the  Mississippi Fire Prevention Code,  the Life Safety  Code
and  the Standards for the Construction and Fire Protection of Marine Terminals,
Piers and Wharfs of the National Fire Protection Association. Additionally,  any
establishment  to  be constructed  for dockside  gaming  must meet  the Southern
Standard Building Code or the local building code, if such a local building code
has been implemented at the casino's site.
 
    While unpowered and permanently moored vessels do not require  certification
by  the United  States Coast Guard,  the Mississippi Commission  has engaged the
American Bureau  of  Shipping,  an independent  consulting  agency,  which  will
inspect  and  certify all  casino barges  with respect  to stability  and single
compartment flooding integrity, in accordance with the Mississippi Regulations.
 
    The law and regulations permitting  and governing Mississippi casino  gaming
were  adopted during 1990 and 1991, and the first casinos opened in August 1992.
Consequently,  the  interpretation  and  application  of  Mississippi  law   and
regulations  may evolve  over time,  and any  such changes  may have  an adverse
effect on Mississippi licensees.
 
NEW JERSEY
    BGII's subsidiary, Gaming,  is licensed by  the New Jersey  Commission as  a
gaming-related casino service industry ("CSI") in accordance with the New Jersey
Casino Control Act (the "Casino Control Act").
 
    Prior  to  expiration  of  the  initial  license  period,  Gaming  filed  an
application for  renewal  of its  license,  which application  has  been  deemed
complete  by the New Jersey Commission.  Consequently, pending formal renewal of
the license, Gaming  is permitted  to continue  doing business  with New  Jersey
casino licenses.
 
    Due  to the  change of  control of BGII  as a  result of  the Merger, BGII's
license as  a CSI  will be  terminated. The  Company will  apply for  a new  CSI
license  following the Merger;  however, the Company's  operations in New Jersey
are expected to continue uninterrupted pursuant to transactional waivers granted
by the  New  Jersey  Commission on  a  sale-by-sale  basis, as  the  New  Jersey
Commission has indicated its willingness to provide such waivers to the Company.
 
    In considering the qualifications of an applicant for a CSI license, the New
Jersey  Commission  may require  that  the officers,  directors,  key personnel,
financial sources and stockholders (in particular those with holdings in  excess
of  5%) of the applicant and  its holding and intermediary companies demonstrate
their  qualifications.  In  this  regard,  such  persons  and  entities  may  be
investigated  and  may be  required to  make certain  regulatory filings  and to
disclose and/or to provide consents to disclose personal and financial data. The
costs associated with such investigation are typically borne by the applicant.
 
ADDITIONAL DOMESTIC JURISDICTIONS
    The Company, in  the ordinary  course of its  business, routinely  considers
business   opportunities  to  expand  its   gaming  operations  into  additional
jurisdictions.
 
    Although the laws and regulations of the various jurisdictions in which  the
Company operates or into which the Company may expand its gaming operations vary
in  their technical requirements and are subject to amendment from time to time,
virtually all of those jurisdictions require licenses, permits, documentation of
qualification, including evidence  of financial  stability, and  other forms  of
approval  for companies  engaged in the  manufacture and  distribution of gaming
machines as well  as for  the officers,  directors, major  stockholders and  key
personnel of such companies.
 
                                      105
<PAGE>
    Alliance and BGII and their key personnel have obtained, or applied for, all
government   licenses,  registrations,  findings  of  suitability,  permits  and
approvals necessary for  the manufacture and  distribution, and operation  where
permitted,  of their gaming machines in  the jurisdictions in which Alliance and
BGII currently do business. The Company and the holders of its securities may be
subject to the provisions of the gaming laws of each jurisdiction where BGII  or
its  subsidiaries  are  licensed  and/or  conduct  business,  including, without
limitation, the  States of  Arizona, Colorado,  Connecticut, Illinois,  Indiana,
Iowa,  Louisiana, Michigan,  Minnesota, Mississippi,  Missouri, Montana, Nevada,
New Jersey,  New  Mexico, South  Dakota,  Wisconsin, and  the  local  regulatory
authority  within  each such  state as  well as  Australian, Canadian  and other
foreign gaming jurisdictions in which BGII and its subsidiaries are licensed  or
conduct  business. Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company and its
officers and directors will  be required to apply  for any government  licenses,
permits and approvals necessary or required by each of these jurisdictions.
 
    Holders of common stock of an entity licensed to manufacture and sell gaming
machines,  and in particular  those with holdings  in excess of  5%, should note
that local laws and regulations may  affect their rights regarding the  purchase
of  such common stock and  may require such persons  or entities to make certain
regulatory filings,  or  seek  licensure, findings  of  qualification  or  other
approvals.  In some  cases this  process may  require the  holder or prospective
holder to disclose and/or  provide consents to  disclose personal and  financial
data  in  connection  with  necessary investigations,  the  costs  of  which are
typically borne by  the applicant.  The investigatory and  approval process  can
take  three  to six  months to  complete under  normal circumstances.  See "Risk
Factors--Strict Regulation by Gaming Authorities."
 
    FEDERAL REGISTRATION.  The  operating subsidiaries of  the Company that  are
involved  in gaming activities  are required to file  annually with the Attorney
General of  the United  States  in connection  with  the sale,  distribution  or
operation of gaming machines. All currently required filings have been made.
 
GERMANY
 
    German  legislative  authorities  regulate  and  monitor  the  wall  machine
industry so as  to ensure certain  manufacturing standards and  the fairness  of
each  machine to users. The most significant legislation presently affecting the
wall machine  industry  relates to  prescribed  licensing procedures,  the  use,
installation  and operation of machines and the taxation of same. No approval of
the Merger is  required to  be obtained  from German  legislative or  regulatory
authorities.
 
    Wall machine manufacturers are dependent upon the successful introduction of
new  products each year  and currently are required  to receive prior government
approval for each new product introduction. Manufacturers are required to  apply
for licenses through an agency of the German federal Ministry of Economics. Such
agency  maintains a policy of accepting  only two licensing applications from an
individual  applicant  at  any  given   time.  Wulff,  through  affiliates   and
subsidiaries,  is in a position to file up to six concurrent applications. After
receiving a prototype  of a  machine for  which the  applicant seeks  government
licensing  approval, the federal agency deliberates  for periods that range from
approximately 6 to  24 months.  If that product  is approved,  the wall  machine
manufacturer  is permitted to  reproduce the sample  machine initially submitted
for government approval. Every wall machine carries with it a small license card
that permits the machine to  be operated for up to  four years from the  initial
date  of sale,  after which  it may  not be  used in  Germany. In  Germany, wall
machines sold via the secondary market may  be operated by a new owner but  only
for the residual time remaining on each machine's four-year life. In addition to
licensing  requirements for manufacturers, any person or entity which intends to
operate a licensed wall machine must apply to local regulatory authorities for a
license, which  will not  be granted  by the  authorities if  facts justify  the
assumption  that the  applicant does not  possess the  requisite reliability. In
this proceeding, the applicant must furnish a police certificate of conduct.
 
    German legislation prohibits the public play of wall machines by individuals
under age 18.  Voluntary agreements  among manufacturers  and certain  amusement
game  trade associations, among other  things, restrict wall machine advertising
and the ability of a player to play more than two machines at once, require  all
machines to carry visible warning notices and provide that every wall machine is
automatically switched off for three minutes after one hour of continuous play.
 
                                      106

    In  April 1993,  the German government  increased the maximum  coin drop per
game effective May 7, 1993 from 30 pfennig (approximately $0.21) to 40  pfennigs
(approximately  $0.28) although  30-pfennig machines  are still  permitted to be
manufactured and sold.
 
    The Spielverordnung (gaming ordinance)  specifically governs wall  machines.
These  regulations limit game payouts to DM 4.00 (approximately $2.80 per game),
require a minimum payout percentage, detail where the machines may be installed,
how many may be installed and by whom, which games are prohibited, the technical
requirements of the machines and  technical review and approval. Operators  must
comply  with regulations  which stipulate how  many machines  may operate within
defined square foot areas (15 square meters  per machine, with a maximum of  ten
machines  per location). The  Spielverordnung was modified in  1985 to achieve a
significant reduction of  gaming machines. Gaming  halls which through  December
19,  1985 had more gaming machines than permitted under the revised regulations,
have a transition period  through December 31, 1995  to comply with the  revised
regulations.  Such  facilities were  allowed  to keep  the  1985 number  of wall
machines until December 31, 1990. During the period January 1, 1991 to  December
31,  1995 they are entitled to two-thirds of such total number, but they must be
in compliance with the new limits  by January 1, 1996. In taverns,  restaurants,
hotels  and certain other  establishments, no more than  two gaming machines are
permitted. See "Risk Factors--Operating History--Recent Losses."
 
    The Baunutzungsverordnung  (Ordinance  Regarding  the Use  of  Real  Estate)
governs  the  zoning  classification  of  land  and  the  type  and  density  of
development within  the various  zoning classifications.  Effective January  27,
1990,   the  Baunutzungsverordnung  was  amended  essentially  to  restrict  the
development  of  larger  gaming  halls  to  core  commercial  areas,  limit  the
permissibility  of smaller gaming halls in various  types of mixed use zones and
to ban gaming halls in most types of residential and all types of industrial use
areas. Prior to such amendment, gaming halls, regardless of size, were generally
allowed in core, business, mixed and industrial zones. In addition, on a case by
case basis, each local zoning agency  is authorized to exclude certain types  of
otherwise permissible uses, including gaming halls.
 
    Subject  to certain exceptions,  V.A.T. of 15% is  generally assessed on the
sale or supply of any goods and services in Germany. Since the total amount paid
for particular  goods  or  services is  considered  to  be the  gross  price  in
calculating  such tax, the actual  rate is 13.04%. With  respect to operators of
gaming machines, prior to January 1, 1994, V.A.T. was to have been assessed at a
rate of 0.1304 times a multiplier of, with respect to the period from January 1,
1991 through December 31, 1992, 2.0 times  the amount remaining in the cash  box
after  payoffs to players and,  with respect to the  period from January 1, 1993
through December 31, 1993, 2.5 times the amount remaining in the cash box  after
payouts  to players.  Commencing January  1, 1994  the tax  rate was  changed to
0.1304 times  the  cash  handled  by a  machine.  During  mid-1994,  the  German
government  effected a tax law revision based on a European Court ruling whereby
V.A.T. charged to the operators of wall machines was significantly reduced.  See
"Business--German  Operations--Industry." In accordance with the ruling, for all
cases arising on or after, or that were pending on, July 5, 1994, the basis  for
taxation  has been  the cash  remaining in  the machines.  The rule  requiring a
minimum payout percentage is applied to the amount remaining in the cash box net
of such V.A.T.  Depending on  the municipality in  which a  machine is  located,
operators may also have to pay a monthly leisure tax on each machine of up to DM
600 (approximately $419).
 
    The  business conducted  by Wulff had  benefitted from  the Berlin Promotion
Act, a special tax  statute which was  intended to support  the economy of  West
Berlin in various ways. With the reunification of Germany, the need for benefits
provided  by the  law is perceived  to have decreased.  Consequently, the German
government has enacted amendments to the Berlin Promotion Act which are designed
to phase out, over a  number of years, most of  the tax benefits and  incentives
provided by the law. These tax benefits and incentives have been changed in five
ways:  (i) the V.A.T. rebates of up to 10% to enterprises located in West Berlin
for sales to German customers outside West Berlin were eliminated by January  1,
1994, which began with an initial 30% decrease on January 1, 1992, and continued
with further decreases of 20% on July 1, 1992, 25% on January 1, 1993 and 25% on
January  1, 1994; (ii)  the V.A.T. rebates  of 4.2% for  German (other than West
Berlin) enterprises which purchase goods from West Berlin taxpayers' enterprises
were abolished effective  July 1, 1991;  (iii) special accelerated  depreciation
allowances  which permitted West Berlin taxpayers to pay to write off 75% of the
cost of qualifying fixed assets at any  time during the first three years  after
acquisition  have been  modified to  limit the  write off  to 50%;  (iv) certain
special investment subsidies have
 
                                      107
<PAGE>
been restricted and were completely eliminated by  the end of 1994; and (v)  tax
credits on German federal income taxes were reduced from 22.5% in 1990 to 20% in
1991,  13.5%  in 1992,  9.0%  in 1993  and  4.5% in  1994,  and were  phased out
completely by December 31, 1994.
 
    During 1995, Wulff increased the amount of VAT reserves by $1.0 million as a
result of developments to  date in an ongoing  quadrennial audit of Wulff's  tax
returns  for the years 1988  through 1991. While no  written claim or assessment
has been issued,  the German  tax authorities have  orally proposed  preliminary
adjustments  which  range from  $1.4 million  (which has  been accrued)  to $5.0
million.

    On July 14, 1994, as contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement dated as  of
September  21, 1993 by and  among the Company, KIC,  GSA, Kirkland and Mr. Wilms
(as amended, the "Stockholders Agreement"), the Alliance Board of Directors  was
reconfigured  to consist of four persons  designated by KIC (Messrs. Kirschbaum,
DiCesare, David Robbins and Jay R. Gottlieb) and three persons designated by Mr.
Wilms (Messrs. Wilms,  David A.  Scheinman and Sidney  Sosin). The  Stockholders
Agreement  and related  transactions are  more fully  described in  the Alliance
Forms 8-K dated June 25, 1993, September 21,  1993 and July 14, 1994 and in  its
Information Statement dated June 29, 1994. On October 20, 1994, the Stockholders
Agreement  was  amended to  reconfigure the  Board of  Directors of  Alliance to
consist of four persons designated by KIC (Messrs. Kirschbaum, DiCesare, Robbins
and Gottlieb),  one person  designated by  Mr.  Wilms (Mr.  Wilms) and  two  new
directors  designated by a majority  of the Board of  Directors of Alliance. The
Stockholders Agreement obligates Mr. Wilms to  vote his shares for such  persons
nominated  by  KIC. On  October  20, 1994  Mr.  Greathouse and  Dr.  Fields were
appointed to the Board to fill vacancies created upon the resignation of Messrs.
Scheinman and Sosin. As amended,  the Stockholders Agreement also provides  that
Mr. Wilms may designate two persons (currently Messrs. Scheinman and Sosin) (the
"Advisors")  who will be observers  of, and advisors to,  the Board of Directors
and who will  be entitled  to attend  all of  the Alliance  Board of  Directors'
meetings  and receive  all information  furnished to  members of  the Board. Mr.
Wilms and/or at least one Advisor will be entitled to attend all meetings of the
committees of Alliance's and its subsidiaries' Boards of Directors. In addition,
Mr. Wilms is contractually obligated until September 21, 1997 to vote his shares
of Common  Stock in  favor of  four nominees  of KIC  to the  Alliance Board  of
Directors. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
 
OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

    BGII
 
    OPTIONS.   BGII has three  stock option plans currently  in effect: the 1991
Incentive Plan (previously defined  as the BGII 1991  Incentive Plan), the  1991
Non-employee  Directors'  Option  Plan  (previously  defined  as  the  BGII 1991
Directors' Plan)  and the  1994  Stock Option  Plan for  Non-Employee  Directors
(previously  defined as the BGII 1994 Plan). Under the BGII 1991 Incentive Plan,
852,500 options were issued to employees of BGII, including 365,000 options held
by executive officers. Under the BGII 1991 Directors' Plan, 100,000 options were
issued to non-employee  directors of  BGII. Under  the BGII  1994 Plan,  100,000
options were issued to non-employee directors of BGII.
 
    Pursuant  to the Merger  Agreement, Alliance will  assume BGII's obligations
with respect to each  outstanding option, and such  options will be  exercisable
for  the Merger  consideration per  share of BGII  common stock  subject to such
options, except that at the election of any employee of BGII (other than Messrs.
Gillman, Jenkins and Kloss)  immediately prior to the  effective time, any  such
options  held  (not  more  than  552,500  in  the  aggregate)  will  be  instead
exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares
of BGII common stock subject thereto at an exercise price equal to the  Alliance
Average Trading Price. See "The Merger and Related Financings."
 
    WARRANTS.    BGII issued  warrants to  purchase 1.2  million shares  of BGII
common stock at a purchase price of $12.50 per share, exercisable after the BGII
common stock has traded at or above a price of $20 per share for 20  consecutive
trading  days and under certain other  circumstances, expiring on July 29, 1998,
which were issued in connection with the private placement of its 10 3/8% Senior
Secured Notes  due July  1998. In  addition, BGII  issued warrants  to  purchase
300,000  shares  of BGII  common stock  at a  purchase price  of $15  per share,
exercisable during a four-year  period ending November 11,  1996, issued to  the
underwriters  of the  initial public offering  of BGII's common  stock, of which
2,000 warrants have been exercised.
 
                                      114
<PAGE>
    Pursuant to the  Merger Agreement,  Alliance will  assume BGII's  obligation
with  respect to each outstanding warrant, and such warrants will be exercisable
for the Merger  consideration per  share of BGII  common stock  subject to  such
warrants. See "The Merger and Related Financings."
 
    PERFORMANCE  UNITS.  Under the BGII  1992 Restricted Stock Performance Plan,
BGII granted awards of performance units comprised of stock and cash to  certain
members  of its  senior management  based upon  specific performance objectives.
Such performance units vest  under certain circumstances  following a change  in
control,  including  as a  result of  the  Merger. Alliance  has agreed  to make
payments to  certain  executive officers  in  connection with  their  employment
agreements and performance unit awards. See "The Merger and Related Financings."
 
                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
    In  March 1992, Mr.  Wilms committed to  provide the VSI  Loan to Alliance's
majority controlled subsidiary, VSI. As consideration for Mr. Wilms  commitment,
Alliance  issued to Mr. Wilms  a warrant to purchase  200,000 shares of Alliance
Common Stock at  a purchase  price of  $2.50 per share  and agreed  to issue  an
additional  warrant to purchase 1.8 million shares of Common Stock at a purchase
price of $2.50 per share upon funding of the full amount of such loan. Mr. Wilms
is entitled to one demand  and unlimited piggyback registration rights  covering
resale  for the Common Stock underlying  the warrants (previously defined as the
Wilms Warrants). The exercise price of  the warrants was determined based on  an
analysis  of, and a fairness opinion with respect to, the transaction and on the
price range  of  the Common  Stock  during a  period  prior to  announcement  of
Alliance's  expansion  into  Louisiana.  The  VSI  Loan,  as  amended,  requires
quarterly interest and  principal payments  with an  interest rate  equal to  2%
above  the London  InterBank Offered Rate,  adjusted quarterly. The  VSI Loan is
currently held by CTC, a Belgian corporation  owned by Mr. Wilms and members  of
his family.
 
    At  June 30,  1993, Mr. Wilms  had funded $6.0  million of the  VSI Loan. On
August 2, 1993, the Board unanimously approved (except that Mr. Wilms  abstained
from  voting) the execution of  a new Loan and  Security Agreement (the "Amended
VSI Loan") and amendment  of the Wilms Warrants.  CTC assumed Mr. Wilms'  rights
and  obligations under the Amended  VSI Loan. The Amended  VSI Loan grants CTC a
security interest  in substantially  all of  VSI's present  and future  personal
property;  provided, however, that CTC's  security interest will be subordinated
to certain purchase  money indebtedness  incurred by  VSI in  the purchase  from
unaffiliated persons of inventory or equipment, and working capital loans to VSI
from  unaffiliated persons. Pursuant to  the terms of the  VSI Loan, VSI may not
pay cash dividends or  make any distributions of  its property. The Amended  VSI
Loan matures on September 21, 1998 and provides for quarterly principal payments
beginning September 1, 1993, rising from approximately $280,000 to $360,000 over
its  term. CTC has funded the full $6.5 million original principal amount of the
Amended VSI Loan and Alliance  has issued to Mr.  Wilms the warrant to  purchase
1.8  million  shares of  Common Stock.  Pursuant  to the  Amended VSI  Loan, the
maturity date of the VSI loan was extended  one year and the terms of the  Wilms
Warrants  were also amended to extend their exercise period to September 1, 1998
and to provide  for a "cashless"  exercise of the  Wilms Warrants under  certain
circumstances.  No change was  made in the  interest rate applicable  to the VSI
Loan or in the  number of shares  or the exercise price  of the Wilms  Warrants.
Alliance  agreed to pay Mr. Wilms  out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with the transactions with Kirkland, the  restructuring of the VSI Loan and  the
related  documentation in  an aggregate amount  of $201,750. As  of December 31,
1995 the aggregate amount of the Amended VSI Loan outstanding was  approximately
$3.4 million.
 
    Under  the terms of the Letter Agreement, dated as of June 25, 1993, between
Kirkland, KIC,  Alliance and,  as  to certain  provisions,  Mr. Wilms,  and  the
related  Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 21, 1994, Alliance
agreed to  make  payments to  Kirkland  at the  rate  of $350,000  per  year  in
reimbursement to Kirkland for its aggregate costs and expenses in conducting its
business   as  related  to  Alliance.  Such  payments  aggregated  approximately
$272,000, $346,000 and $597,000 in fiscal years 1993 through 1995, respectively.
 
                                      115
<PAGE>
    In connection with the  closing of the Kirkland  Investment and the  related
Nevada  licensing  process (completed  June 23,1994),  Alliance is  obligated to
reimburse Kirkland for an aggregate  of approximately $312,000 in  out-of-pocket
expenses.
 
    Pursuant  to a letter agreement dated June  25, 1993 among GSA, Alliance and
Mr. Wilms, Alliance engaged GSA to assist it in among other things,  identifying
opportunities for strategic transactions and in structuring and negotiating such
transactions.  In connection  with its retention  of GSA  for financial advisory
services, Alliance has  issued to it  warrants to purchase  1,250,000 shares  of
Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share. Upon consummation of the
Merger,  GSA  will  be  entitled  to  receive  additional  warrants  to purchase
2,500,000 shares of Common Stock on the same terms. Joel Kirschbaum, a  director
of  and  consultant  to  Alliance,  is the  president,  sole  director  and sole
stockholder of GSI, the  sole general partner of  GSA. Mr. DiCesare, a  director
and  Executive Vice President-Development of Alliance,  has the right to receive
20% of the warrants (which percentage may increase in certain circumstances)  to
be distributed to GSI by GSA in connection with the consummation of the Merger.
 
    The  Stockholders Agreement contains certain  registration rights running in
favor of  Kirkland,  KIC,  GSA,  Mr. Wilms  and  their  respective  transferees,
including  up to  four demand  registration rights  each (and  additional demand
rights for  Mr.  Wilms under  certain  circumstances),  at the  expense  of  the
Company,  and provisions granting Mr. Wilms  the right to participate in certain
offerings of securities by the Company and by KIC and its transferees.
 
    Pursuant to an  agreement with Alliance,  Dr. Fields, Vice  Chairman of  the
Alliance  Board, will within 30  days of the consummation  of the Merger receive
options to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
    David Robbins, a director of Alliance appointed to the Board of Directors in
July 1994,  was employed  until July  1995 by  the law  firm of  Kramer,  Levin,
Naftalis,  Nessen, Kamin  & Frankel  which has  represented Alliance  in various
matters. The firm  received fees  from Alliance  of $1,046,000  and $493,000  in
fiscal 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
    Alliance's   Articles  of  Incorporation,  as   amended  (the  "Articles  of
Incorporation"), authorize the issuance of 185,000,000 shares of capital  stock,
of  which 175,000,000 shares are designated as Common Stock, par value $0.10 per
share, and 10,000,000 shares  are designated as Special  Stock, par value  $0.10
per  share. As of  December 31, 1995, approximately  12,988,000 shares of Common
Stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of Special Stock were issued and
outstanding.  See  "Security  Ownership   of  Certain  Beneficial  Holders   and
Management."  Alliance expects to  issue approximately 603,000  shares of Common
Stock to  BGII  stockholders and  813,000  shares  of Common  Stock  in  partial
satisfaction  of BGII employee  contract termination costs  and performance unit
awards, and 350,000 shares of Preferred  Stock pursuant to the Merger  Agreement
(in each case, based on 10,799,501 shares of BGII common stock outstanding, less
1,000,000  shares owned by Alliance and a  Common Stock price of $4.88 per share
and  a  Preferred  Stock  price  of  $100  per  share)  and  expects  to   issue
approximately  1,096,000 shares of Common Stock  in the Private Placement (based
on a Common Stock price of $4.56  per share), 12,308,000 shares of Common  Stock
in  the  Common Stock  Offering and  150,000  shares of  Preferred Stock  in the
Preferred Stock Offering (in each case, based  on a Common Stock price of  $4.88
per share and a Preferred Stock price of $100 per share).
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    Holders  of Common  Stock are  entitled to  cast one  vote per  share on all
matters on which the Company's stockholders are entitled to vote. The number  of
votes  required to take any action by the Company's stockholders are as provided
in Title 7 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "Nevada Revised Statutes") or the
Articles of Incorporation. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to  cumulate
their  votes. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and
as declared  by the  Company's Board  of Directors  (the "Board")  out of  funds
legally available for the payment thereof. The Articles of Incorporation provide
that  once the subscription price or par value  of any share of Common Stock has
been paid in, such  share shall be  non-assessable and shall  not be subject  to
assessment to pay the debts of Alliance.
 
                                      116
<PAGE>
Subject  to any preferential rights  which may be granted  to holders of certain
series of Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably
in all assets of the Company that are legally available for distribution to  its
stockholders  in the event of its  liquidation or dissolution. Holders of Common
Stock have no preemptive  rights nor are there  any subscription, redemption  or
conversion privileges associated with the Common Stock.
 
    The Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ NMS under the symbol "ALLY".
 
SPECIAL STOCK
 
    The  Articles of Incorporation provide that  the Special Stock may be issued
from time to time upon such terms  and conditions and for such consideration  as
may  be provided by  the Board. The Special  Stock may be issued  in one or more
series, each series having such designations, rights, preferences and privileges
as may be determined by  the Board at the time  of issuance. The Company has  no
current intention to issue any series of Special Stock with the exception of the
Preferred Stock described herein.
 
  15% NON-VOTING JUNIOR SPECIAL STOCK, SERIES B
 
    The   Company's  Certificate  of  Designations,  Preferences  and  Relative,
Participating,  Optional  and  Other  Special  Rights  of  Preferred  Stock  and
Qualifications,  Limitations  and  Restrictions  thereof  (the  "Certificate  of
Designations") of the 15% Non-Voting Junior Special Stock, Series B  (previously
defined  as the "Preferred Stock") provides  that holders of shares of Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive semi-annual dividends, as and when declared by the
Board, in an amount per  share equal to $7.50 payable  in cash, except that  the
Company  may at its option pay any  such dividend accruing through and including
the Dividend Payment Date  (as defined below) occurring  next after the  seventh
anniversary  of the Effective Time  in whole or in  part in additional shares of
Preferred Stock (or fractions thereof) in an amount equal to such dividend, with
each share of Preferred Stock valued at $100 (the "Liquidation Value"), provided
that after the  first Dividend Payment  Date (as defined  below) occurring  next
after  the  fifth anniversary  of the  Effective  Time the  portion of  any such
dividend that may be so paid is  limited to $4.00. Dividends are payable on  the
first  day in each year  of the first and seventh  months of each year following
the date of initial  issuance beginning on  the first day  of the seventh  month
following  the date of initial issuance or such  other dates as set by the Board
(each a "Dividend Payment Date"). Dividends are cumulative and shall accrue from
and after  the date  of  initial issuance.  Dividends  payable for  any  partial
dividend  period (including the  period from the date  of initial issuance until
the first day of the month next following the month in which the date of initial
issuance occurred) will be computed on the  basis of the actual days elapsed  in
such  period over  a year  of 365 or  366 days.  Unless all  dividends that have
accrued are paid on the Preferred  Stock, no dividend or other distribution  can
be  paid to holders of any equity security  ranking junior to or pari passu with
the Preferred Stock and no  shares of such junior  security can be purchased  or
redeemed  by the  Company. The  Company currently  expects that  so long  as the
Preferred Stock remains outstanding, it will, subject to the terms thereof,  pay
dividends  accruing through the first dividend  payment date occurring after the
seventh anniversary of the Effective Time  on the Preferred Stock in  additional
shares of such stock.
 
    Upon  liquidation, the  holders of  shares of  Preferred Stock  are entitled
(subject to prior preferences and other  rights of any senior equity  securities
and  on a parity with other securities ranking equally) to be paid out of assets
of the  Company  in  cash or  property  valued  at its  fair  market  value  (as
determined  in good faith by the Board) an amount equal to the Liquidation Value
plus an  amount equal  to all  accrued and  unpaid dividends  and  distributions
thereon.  While the Company  has the ability to  issue equity securities ranking
senior in right of payment to the Preferred Stock, it does not presently  intend
to  issue any such  securities. Therefore, immediately  following the Merger, no
equity security will be  senior to or  pari passu with  the Preferred Stock  and
only the Common Stock will be junior to the Preferred Stock.
 
    The  Preferred Stock  has no  voting rights  except as  required by  law and
except in the case where dividends payable on shares of the Preferred Stock have
been in arrears for three consecutive Dividend Payment Dates, at which time  the
number  of directors  constituting the  Board will be  increased by  two and the
holders of shares of Preferred Stock will have the right, voting separately as a
class, to elect two  directors to the Board  until all dividends accumulated  on
such shares have been paid or set apart for payment in full.
 
                                      117
<PAGE>
    The  Company may at its  option redeem all, or any  number less than all, of
the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at any time at a price per share equal
to the Liquidation  Value per  share plus  an amount  equal to  all accrued  and
unpaid  dividends  and  distributions thereon  to  the date  of  redemption. The
Company is  required  to  redeem  at  the  above  mentioned  price  all  of  the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock by            , 2004. If the Company fails
to  redeem such shares on  that date, then the  number of directors constituting
the Board will be increased  by two and the holders  of the shares of  Preferred
Stock  will have the right to elect two directors to the Board. The total number
of directors which the holders of Preferred Stock shall have the right to  elect
may  not exceed two.  Holders of the  Preferred Stock have  no other remedy than
those described above if the Company fails to redeem all the outstanding  shares
of  Preferred Stock  on such date.  The terms  of the Senior  Secured Notes will
restrict the Company's  ability to  effect any such  redemption so  long as  any
Senior  Secured  Notes  remain  outstanding.  See  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of  Financial Condition  and  Results of  Operations --  Liquidity  and
Capital Resources of the Company (Pro Forma)."
 
    Fractional  shares of  Preferred Stock  will entitle  the holder  to receive
dividends and distributions and to exercise  voting rights in proportion to  the
fractional holding.
 
    The  Company has  applied for NASDAQ  NMS quotation for  the Preferred Stock
under the symbol "ALLYP".
 
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN HOLDERS
 
    The Nevada Revised Statutes contains a control share provision with  respect
to  the  acquisition  of  more  than  20%  of  the  voting  shares  of  a Nevada
corporation. The Company, however, has opted out of this provision in accordance
with the Nevada Revised Statutes by adopting an amendment to its by-laws to such
effect.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Immediately following completion of the  Transaction, the Company will  have
outstanding  approximately  27,807,000  shares  of  Common  Stock (approximately
31,978,000 shares if  the Underwriters'  over-allotment option  is exercised  in
full),  as well  as a  number of  outstanding options,  warrants and convertible
securities. Of those shares outstanding, approximately 12,308,000 shares sold in
the Common Stock Offering (approximately 14,154,000 shares if the  Underwriters'
over-allotment  option is  exercised in full)  will be  freely tradeable without
restrictions or further registration  under the Securities  Act, except for  any
shares  purchased by an "affiliate" of the  Company which will be subject to the
resale limitations  of  Rule  144.  Of the  options,  warrants  and  convertible
securities  of the Company which will be outstanding following the Merger, which
are exercisable in the  aggregate for 21,800,000 shares  of Common Stock,  those
held  by  certain  directors, executive  officers  and other  affiliates  of the
Company would be deemed "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule  144.
See "Risk Factors--Outstanding Options and Convertible Securities." In addition,
the  shares of Common Stock  to be issued in the  Private Placement will also be
deemed "restricted securities" with the  meaning of Rule 144. These  "restricted
securities"  may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities
Act other than in  accordance with an exemption  from registration such as  Rule
144.  Persons holding a substantial number of shares of Common Stock and options
and warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock have rights,  subject
to  certain conditions, to  require the Company  to file registration statements
covering the shares they own or may acquire through option or warrant exercises.
These persons and others  also have rights, subject  to certain limitations,  to
"piggyback"  registrations if the Company files a registration statement for any
other purposes.  See  "Risk  Factors--  Shares Eligible  for  Future  Sale"  and
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
 
    On  September  21,  1993, the  Company  and  the initial  purchasers  of the
Convertible  Debentures  entered  into  a  Registration  Rights  Agreement  (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
the  Company agreed to  file with the Commission  a shelf registration statement
under the  Securities Act  (the "Shelf  Registration Statement")  under  certain
circumstances,  to  cover resales  of each  Convertible  Debenture and  share of
Common  Stock   issued  upon   conversion   thereof.  The   Shelf   Registration
 
                                      118
<PAGE>
Statement  is required to remain effective until September 21, 1996. The Company
filed and had declared effective a  Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-2  in
compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
    In  addition, the Company  has agreed to  register the shares  issued in the
Private Placement for resale on three  occasions, and to include such shares  in
registered   underwritten   offerings  initiated   by   the  Company   or  other
shareholders, subject to the existing registration rights of others.
 
    The Company and its directors and named executive officers have agreed  with
the  Underwriters not  to issue,  offer, sell, grant  any option  to purchase or
otherwise dispose of, directly of indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or  any
securities  convertible  into or  exercisable or  exchangeable for  or warrants,
rights, or options to acquire shares of Common Stock or enter into any agreement
to do any of the foregoing (other than with respect to the Company, the grant of
options pursuant to  the Alliance 1984  Stock Option Plan  or the Alliance  1991
Stock  Option Plan) for a  period of 180 days after  the date of this Prospectus
without the prior written consent of Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc., subject  to
certain  exceptions. See  "Risk Factors-- Shares  Eligible for  Future Sale" and
"Underwriting."
 
    In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if two years have elapsed
since the later of the date of the acquisition of restricted securities from the
Company or any affiliate (as defined  under the Securities Act) of the  Company,
the  acquiror  or subsequent  holder thereof  may  sell, within  any three-month
period, a number of shares  that does not exceed the  greater of 1% of the  then
outstanding  shares of  Common Stock (approximately  22,800,000 shares following
completion of  the Transaction)  or the  average weekly  trading volume  in  the
Common  Stock in  composite trading  on all  exchanges during  the four calendar
weeks preceding such  sale. Sales  under Rule 144  are also  subject to  certain
manner  of  sale provisions,  notice  requirements and  availability  of current
public information about  the Company.  If three  years have  elapsed since  the
later  of the date of  acquisition of restricted securities  from the Company or
from any affiliate of the Company, and the acquiror or subsequent holder thereof
is deemed not to have been an affiliate of the Company for at least three months
immediately preceding the  sale, such  person may  sell such  shares under  Rule
144(k)  without regard to the volume  and other limitations described above. The
Commission  has  proposed  reducing  the  periods  of  beneficial  ownership  of
"restricted  securities" required by  Rule 144. Under  the proposal, persons who
have beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year, instead  of
two  years as  currently required,  would be able  to resell  such securities by
complying with the volume limitations described  above. In the case of a  person
who  is not deemed to be an affiliate  of the Company during the preceding three
months, the  proposal  would permit  sales  without regard  to  the  limitations
described  above as long as such person had held the securities for at least two
years, instead of three years as  currently required. There can be no  assurance
that  the proposed revisions to Rule 144  will be adopted by the Commission. The
foregoing summary  of Rule  144 is  not intended  to be  a complete  description
thereof.

    The Underwriting  Agreement provides  that the  obligations of  the  several
Underwriters  to  pay for  and accept  delivery  of the  shares of  Common Stock
offered hereby are subject to approval  of certain legal matters by counsel  and
to  certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for
all the shares of Common Stock offered hereby (other than in connection with the
over-allotment option described below) if any are taken.
 
    The Representatives have advised the  Company that the Underwriters  propose
to  offer the  shares of Common  Stock directly  to the public  initially at the
public offering price  set forth on  the cover  page of this  Prospectus and  to
certain  dealers at such price less  a concession not in excess  $    per share.
Any Underwriter  may allow,  and such  dealers may  reallow, a  discount not  in
excess  of $    per share to any other Underwriter and to certain other dealers.
After the initial  public offering  of the shares  of Common  Stock, the  public
offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representatives.
 
    Pursuant  to  the Underwriting  Agreement, the  Company  has granted  to the
Underwriters an  option,  exercisable for  30  days  from the  date  hereof,  to
purchase  up to an additional      shares of Common Stock at the public offering
price less the  underwriting discounts and  commissions set forth  on the  cover
page  hereof. The Underwriters  may exercise such  option to purchase additional
shares solely  for the  purpose of  covering over-allotments,  if any,  made  in
connection  with the sale of  the shares of Common  Stock offered hereby. To the
extent such over-allotment  option is  exercised, each  Underwriter will  become
obligated,  subject to  certain conditions, to  purchase the  same percentage of
such additional shares as the number  set forth next to such Underwriter's  name
in  the preceding  table bears to  the total number  of shares set  forth on the
cover page hereof.
 
    Alliance and  its subsidiaries  have agreed  to indemnify  the  Underwriters
against  certain liabilities, including liabilities  under the Securities Act or
to contribute to payments  the Underwriters may be  required to make in  respect
thereof.
 
    Alliance and its directors and named executive officers have agreed with the
Underwriters  not to issue, offer,  sell, grant any other  option to purchase or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or  any
securities  convertible  into or  exercisable or  exchangeable for  or warrants,
rights, or options to acquire shares of Common Stock or enter into any agreement
to do any of the foregoing (other than with respect to the Company, the grant of
options pursuant to  the Alliance 1984  Stock Option Plan  or the Alliance  1991
Stock  Option Plan) for a  period of 180 days after  the date of this Prospectus
without the prior written consent of Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc., subject  to
certain exceptions.
 
    From  time to time, Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc. has acted, and may in the
future act, as financial advisor  to BGII and its  affiliates, for which it  has
received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. The Representatives are
also  acting  as underwriters  for  the Preferred  Stock  Offering and  the Note
Offering.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Alliance Gaming Corporation
 
    We   have  audited  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Alliance  Gaming
Corporation and  subsidiaries as  of June  30,  1995 and  1994 and  the  related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders equity and  cash flows for
each of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  June  30,  1995.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the Company's
management. Our  responsibility is  to  express an  opinion on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.
 
    We  conducted  our audits  in  accordance with  generally  accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In  our  opinion, the  consolidated financial  statements referred  to above
present fairly, in  all material  respects, the financial  position of  Alliance
Gaming  Corporation  and subsidiaries  as of  June  30, 1995  and 1994,  and the
results of their operations and  their cash flows for each  of the years in  the
three-year  period ended  June 30, 1995,  in conformity  with generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
    As discussed in Note 6  to the consolidated financial statements,  effective
July  1, 1993  Alliance Gaming Corporation  adopted the  provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993, 1994 AND 1995
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Alliance   Gaming  Corporation  and   its  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the
"Company") are presently engaged in gaming device route operations in Nevada and
in the greater  New Orleans,  Louisiana area;  casino operations  in Nevada  and
Mississippi; and the design, manufacture and refurbishment of gaming devices.
 
  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The  accompanying consolidated financial statements  include the accounts of
Alliance  Gaming  Corporation,  its   wholly-owned  subsidiaries  and   indirect
subsidiaries  and its partially  owned, controlled subsidiaries.  In the case of
Video Services, Inc.  ("VSI"), the  Company owns 490  shares of  Class B  voting
stock,  which  constitutes 100%  of the  voting  stock, of  VSI. The  Company is
entitled to receive 71% of dividends declared by VSI, if any, at such time  that
such  dividends are declared. In  July 1994, the Company  acquired a 45% limited
partnership interest in the  Rainbow Casino-Vicksburg Partnership.  Accordingly,
the  Company accounted for  its investment in this  partnership under the equity
method until March 29, 1995 at which time the Company increased its  partnership
interest  and assumed the general partnership  position (see Note 11). Effective
March 29,  1995, the  results of  operations  of the  Rainbow Casino  have  been
included  in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    In accordance with industry practice, the Company recognizes gaming revenues
as the net win from  route, casino and tavern  operations, which is, for  gaming
devices,  the difference between  coins and currency  deposited into the devices
and payments to customers  and, for other games,  the difference between  gaming
wins  and losses. The  Company recognizes total  net win from  gaming devices as
revenues for gaming routes which operate under revenue-sharing arrangements  and
revenue-sharing  payments as  a cost  of gaming  routes. The  Company recognizes
revenue from parts and equipment sales  to outside purchasers when the  products
are shipped.
 
  LOCATION RENT EXPENSE
 
    For  financial statement purposes, the Company recognizes expenses for fixed
periodic rental payments (including scheduled increases) made in connection with
route operation space lease  arrangements or sublease  agreements on a  straight
line  basis over the term of the agreement including any extension periods which
are expected to be exercised.  Contingent periodic rental payments are  expensed
in the period incurred.
 
  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The  Company considers all highly liquid  debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity  of  three  months  or  less  to  be  cash  equivalents.  Such
investments of $29,799,000 (1994) and $5,238,000 (1995) are included in cash and
cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates market value.
 
  SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
 
    Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard
No.  115.  For fiscal  years beginning  after December  15, 1993,  Statement 115
requires that,  except  for  debt securities  classified  as  "held-to-maturity"
securities, investments in debt and equity securities should be reported at fair
market  value. The Company has designated  certain securities as being available
for sale. Securities are designated as available  for sale at the time of  their
purchase.  The Company  determines which  securities are  available for  sale by
evaluating whether such securities would be sold in response to liquidity needs,
asset/liability management and other factors. Securities available for sale  are
recorded  at market value  with the resulting unrealized  gains and losses being
recorded, net of tax, as a component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses on
these securities are determined using the specific identification method.

  INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are determined  by
the first-in, first out method.
 
  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property  and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated and amortized
over their estimated useful  lives or lease terms,  if less, using the  straight
line method as follows:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                                               <C>
                                                                       31-39
Building and improvements.......................................       years
Gaming equipment................................................   5-7 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment...............................  3-10 years
Leasehold improvements..........................................  5-20 years
</TABLE>
 
  EXCESS OF COSTS OVER NET ASSETS OF AN ACQUIRED BUSINESS
 
    Excess of costs over net assets of an acquired business is the excess of the
cost  over  the value  of net  tangible assets  of an  acquired business  and is
generally amortized on the  straight-line method over a  period of 40 years.  In
the   case  of   the  Company's   majority-owned  subsidiary,   Native  American
Investments, Inc., where the assets acquired are largely intangible, the Company
has elected a 10-year amortization period representing the estimated life of the
rights  acquired,  consisting  principally   of  contracts  to  conduct   gaming
operations on Indian lands.
 
    At  each  balance  sheet  date, management  evaluates  the  realizability of
goodwill based on expectations of non-discounted cash flows and operating income
for each subsidiary  having a  material goodwill  balance. Based  upon its  most
recent  analysis, management  believes that  no material  impairment of goodwill
exists at June 30, 1995.
 
  INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
    Intangible assets consist primarily of costs associated with the acquisition
of location leases which are  capitalized and amortized using the  straight-line
method  over the  terms of  the leases, ranging  from one  to 40  years, with an
average life  of  approximately 11  years.  Intangible assets  for  fiscal  1995
includes   approximately   $4,547,000  of   commissions,  discounts   and  other
capitalized costs  related to  the issuance  of the  Company's 7.5%  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures due 2003, net  of approximately $957,000 of accumulated
amortization. At June 30,  1994, intangible assets  includes $4,993,000 of  such
costs,  net  of $405,000  of accumulated  amortization.  Such amounts  are being
amortized over the term of the debentures.
 
    The  carrying  value  of  intangible  assets  is  periodically  reviewed  by
management and impairment losses are recognized when the expected non-discounted
future  operating cash flows  derived from such intangible  assets are less than
their carrying value.
 
  OTHER ASSETS
 
    Other assets includes  assets held  for sale, long-term  deposits and  other
non-current  assets. In fiscal 1993, the Company paid to certain property owners
a $2,500,000 refundable  deposit to  operate gaming devices  at their  location.
Additionally,  other  assets  are  presented  net  of  valuation  allowances  of
$1,763,000 and $631,000 at June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
  LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
 
    Loss per  share of  common stock  has been  computed based  on the  weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per
share is not presented because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
    (CONTINUED)
  INCOME TAXES
 
    In  February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard No.  109 ACCOUNTING FOR  INCOME TAXES. Under  the asset  and
liability  method  of Statement  109, deferred  tax  assets and  liabilities are
recognized for the future tax  consequences attributable to differences  between
the  financial statement  carrying amounts of  assets and  liabilities and their
respective tax bases.  Deferred tax  assets and liabilities  are measured  using
enacted  tax rates expected to apply to  taxable income in the years which those
temporary differences are expected to  be recovered or settled. Under  Statement
109,  the effect on deferred assets and liabilities  of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period  that includes the enactment date.  Effective
July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 109. The Company previously used the
asset and liability method under Statement 96.
 
  RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
    Certain  reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements
to conform with the current year presentation.
 
2.  RECEIVABLES
    The Company's gaming route operations from time to time involve making loans
to location operators in order to participate in revenues over extended  periods
of  time.  The  loans,  made for  build-outs,  tenant  improvements  and initial
operating expenses  are generally  secured  by the  personal guarantees  of  the
operators  and the  locations' assets.  The majority  of the  loans are interest
bearing and are expected to  be repaid over a period  of time not to exceed  the
life  of the revenue sharing arrangement.  The loans have varying payment terms,
with weekly payment  amounts ranging  from $200  to $1,440  and monthly  payment
amounts  ranging from $200  to $18,780. Interest  rates on the  loans range from
prime plus 1.50% to stated rates of 12% with various due dates ranging from July
1995 to April 2007. The loans are expected to be repaid from the locations' cash
flows or proceeds from the sale of the leaseholds.
 
    Receivables at June 30 consist of the following:

    Receivables are  presented net  of  an allowance  for doubtful  accounts  of
$1,389,000  and  $1,659,000 as  of  June 30,  1994  and 1995,  respectively. The
allowance is allocated between current and  long-term receivables on a pro  rata
basis related to notes receivable from location operators.
 
    During  fiscal 1994, the Company cancelled  certain sublease agreements as a
result of defaults by payors in making payments and acquired title to the assets
and operating rights  to the tavern  locations in exchange  for releases of  the
customers'  debt owed  to the  Company. During  fiscal 1994,  interest income of
approximately $48,000 was recognized on these receivables. Total interest income
of $130,000 would have  been recognized if the  receivables had been current  in
accordance  with their  original terms.  The total  initial investment  in these
tavern locations of  approximately $2,011,000  includes the  net receivables  of
approximately $1,362,000 and other assets of $649,000. No such transactions were
completed  in fiscal  1995. Management  of the  Company has  determined the fair
value of the locations' assets from knowledge of sales

of comparable establishments  and expertise acquired  from operating its  gaming
devices  at similar locations. Due  to the Company's decision  to dispose of the
currently operated  small independent  tavern operations,  certain reserves  and
write downs were recognized in fiscal 1994 results of operations.
 
    Management  believes properly managing the disposal of these operations will
protect  the  Company's  existing  contractual  arrangements  from  the   tavern
locations  as  well as  assure their  continued  operation while  preserving the
Company's investment.  Management canNo.  estimate  when or  how many  of  these
locations will be obtained and subsequently disposed.
 
3.  LOSS ON ABANDONMENT OF SMALL CASINOS AND TAVERNS
    In  fiscal 1994,  due to  continuing losses  from operations,  negative cash
flows and  incompatibility with  the Company's  long-term growth  strategy,  the
Company's  Board of Directors resolved to 1)  exit the downtown Las Vegas gaming
market and 2)  dispose of the  currently operated small  independent taverns  on
commercially reasonable terms as market conditions warrant.
 
    As  a result of the  decision to exit the  downtown Las Vegas gaming market,
the Company substantially reduced operations at both the Trolley Stop Casino and
Miss Lucy's  Gambling  Hall  &  Saloon.  Included  in  the  1994  statements  of
operations  are  total expenses  of  approximately $3,246,000  related  to these
actions. The  total  charge  included  approximately  $488,000  related  to  the
write-down  of assets  and approximately  $2,758,000 representing  primarily the
present value of  the future  lease payments  net of  estimated future  sublease
income.
 
    The  decision to withdraw  from the tavern business  resulted in expenses of
approximately  $2,638,000  being  recognized   in  fiscal  1994.   Approximately
$1,813,000  of the total  amount was related  to the write  down of assets while
approximately $825,000 represented  primarily the  present value  of the  future
lease  payments net of estimated future sublease income. The Company has entered
into an agreement to sell all of  its tavern locations to an unaffiliated  third
party.  The sale is contingent upon,  among other conditions, approval by Nevada
gaming authorities.
 
    In addition to  the items  noted above, the  Company's lease  on the  Mizpah
Hotel  and Casino has a remaining term of approximately 7.5 years with an option
on the Company's behalf to terminate the lease arrangement with 120 days written
notice at  any  time after  December  31, 1995.  The  Company has  notified  the
landlord  of the Mizpah of  its intention to exercise  the termination clause of
the lease at that time. As a result of this decision, the Company recognized  an
expense of $467,500 in fiscal 1994.

4.  DEBT (CONTINUED)
    Accrued interest of approximately $1,893,000 (1994) and $1,991,000 (1995) is
included  in accrued  expenses in the  Consolidated Balance  Sheets. Included in
these amounts are $30,343 (1994) and $27,813 (1995) due to affiliates of  Alfred
H.  Wilms, principal  stockholder and  member of the  Board of  Directors of the
Company, related to funding of VSI's gaming device route operations.
 
    In  September  1993,  the  Company   completed  the  private  placement   of
$85,000,000  aggregate  principal amount  of  its 7.5%  Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2003. The debentures pay  interest semi-annually on March 15  and
September  15. These debentures are  convertible at any time  into shares of the
Company's common stock at a conversion price  of $10 per share (equivalent to  a
conversion  rate  of  100 shares  per  $1,000 principal  amount  of debentures),
subject to  adjustment.  Upon certain  defined  events, including  a  change  of
control,  holders of  the debentures  have the right  to require  the Company to
redeem the debentures  for cash at  the rate  of 101% of  principal amount  plus
accrued  interest.  The debentures  are  redeemable at  predetermined redemption
prices, in whole or in part, at the  option of the Company for cash at any  time
on  and after September 15, 1995 if the market price of the common stock exceeds
250% of the conversion price for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days or at
any time on and after September 15, 1996.
 
    In March 1992, Alfred H. Wilms, director and principal stockholder (and then
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer) of the  Company,
committed  to  provide  or  cause  others  to  provide  a  $6,500,000  five year
subordinated loan to  VSI, the  Company's controlled subsidiary  which loan  has
been  funded in full and  is secured by a subordinated  interest in all of VSI's
present and  future personal  property.  Until August  1993, the  loan  required
quarterly  payments of interest. In August  1993, the loan agreement was amended
to extend the maturity of the loan to September 1, 1998 and to require quarterly
payments of principal and interest. Interest on the loan accrues at the rate  of
200  basis  points above  the 90-day  London Inter  Bank Offered  Rate, adjusted
quarterly. At June 30, 1995 the interest rate for the note was 8.2275%.
 
    During 1995,  Hospitality Franchise  Systems, Inc.  ("HFS") agreed  to  loan
$7,750,000  to the Company's  majority controlled subsidiary  RCVP in connection
with the construction of  the Rainbow Casino. The  loan amount was  subsequently
increased to $10,000,000. The note bears interest at 7.5% per annum and requires
monthly  payments of principal and interest over an 24 month period. In exchange
for funding this loan,  HFS is also  entitled to receive  a monthly royalty  fee
equal  to  12% of  the casino's  gaming revenues.  Included in  the consolidated
results of  operations  for  fiscal  1995 are  approximately  $810,000  of  such
royalties.
 
    Maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years ending subsequent to
June 30, 1995 are as follows:

5.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
    The  Company's Articles  of Incorporation  authorize the  issuance of  up to
10,000,000 shares of special stock, par value $.10 per share ("Special  Stock").
Special  Stock consists of non-voting stock where no holder of the Special Stock
shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or otherwise, except as
otherwise may be specifically  provided by law  or as approved  by the Board  of
Directors  in certain limited  circumstances at the time  of the stock issuance.
The Special Stock may be  issued from time to time  in one or more series,  each
series  having  such  designations,  preferences  and  relative,  participating,
optional or other special rights,

qualifications, limitations or restrictions as shall be stated and expressed  in
the resolution providing for the issuance of Special Stock or any series thereof
adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board has designated an initial series of
Special Stock as "Non-voting Junior Convertible Special Stock" which consists of
1,333,333 shares (the "Initial Series"). The Company's Articles of Incorporation
provide  that the  Initial Series  is intended  to have  the same  rights as the
Common Stock except that the Initial Series has no voting rights and a $.01  per
share  liquidation  preference. At  June 30,  1995, only  the Initial  Series of
Special Stock was outstanding. The Initial Series is convertible on a share  for
share basis into shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
    In 1984, the Company created an Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1984 Plan")
that  provides for  the issuance of  up to  2,000,000 shares of  common stock to
Company employees and directors.  At June 30, 1995,  there were incentive  stock
options  covering 207,000 shares and non-qualified stock options covering 10,000
shares outstanding under the 1984 Plan.
 
    At June 30, 1994 there were incentive stock options covering 376,000  shares
and  non-qualified stock  options covering  15,000 shares  outstanding under the
1984 Plan.  Generally, options  are granted  at  the fair  market value  of  the
Company's Common Stock at the date of the grant and become exercisable over five
years.
 
    In  1992,  the  Company  created  the 1991  Long  Term  Incentive  Plan (the
"Incentive Plan") that, as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000
shares of common  stock to  Company employees and  directors. At  June 30,  1995
there  were incentive stock options  covering 2,400,834 shares outstanding under
the Incentive Plan. At June 30, 1994 there were incentive stock options covering
1,099,500 shares outstanding  under the Incentive  Plan. Generally, options  are
granted  at the fair market  value of the Company's Common  Stock at the date of
the grant and become exercisable over five years.

    Upon  closing of  the private  placement of  the Company's  7.5% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures and  the $5  million equity  investment by  Kirkland-Ft.
Worth  Investment Partners, L.P. ("Kirkland") on September 21, 1993, the Company
issued warrants to purchase up to 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.50  per
share  to Kirkland. These warrants are exercisable one year after the grant date
and  only  after  the  market  price   of  the  Common  Stock  reaches   certain
predetermined  levels.  Under the  same terms,  the  Company issued  warrants to
purchase 1,250,000 and 30,000 shares of Common Stock to Gaming Systems Advisors,
L.P.  ("GSA")  and   L.H.  Friend,   Weinress  &   Frankson,  Inc.   ("Friend"),

6.  INCOME TAXES
    The Company generally  accounts for income  taxes and files  its income  tax
returns  on a consolidated basis. However, VSI,  in which the Company holds 100%
of the  voting interests,  has previously  filed  its income  tax returns  on  a
separate  basis and  was not consolidated  for tax purposes.  During the quarter
ended December 31, 1994, the Company determined that VSI can be consolidated for
tax purposes. As a result,  the Company filed for and  has received a refund  of
estimated income taxes paid for fiscal year 1994.
 
    Effective  July 1, 1993,  the Company adopted  Financial Accounting Standard
No. 109  ACCOUNTING  FOR  INCOME  TAXES,  prospectively.  Under  the  asset  and
liability  method  of Statement  109, deferred  tax  assets and  liabilities are
recognized for the future tax  consequences attributable to differences  between
the  financial statement  carrying amounts of  assets and  liabilities and their
respective tax bases.  Deferred tax  assets and liabilities  are measured  using
enacted  tax rates  expected to apply  to taxable  income in the  years in which
those temporary  differences are  expected  to be  recovered or  settled.  Under
Statement  109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is  recognized in  income in the  period that  includes the  enactment
date.
 
    The  federal and state income tax effects of temporary differences that give
rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at  June
30, 1995 and 1994 are presented below.

9.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    The Company sold products to Seeben N.V., a company in which Alfred H. Wilms
is the brother of a  member of the company's board  of directors. Sales to  this
company  were  approximately  $2,000 (1993),  $6,000  (1994) and  $0  (1995). No
accounts receivable were  due from this  company at  June 30, 1994  or June  30,
1995. Sales prices and terms were similar to those of non-affiliated persons.
 
    In  March 1992, Alfred  H. Wilms, a director  and principal stockholder (and
then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company), committed to  provide
or  cause others to provide a $6,500,000 five year, unsecured, subordinated loan
to VSI, a majority-controlled subsidiary of the Company engaged in the Company's
Louisiana gaming device route operations. As consideration for this  commitment,
the Company issued to Mr. Wilms five year warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of
Common  Stock at $2.50 per  share subject to certain  adjustments, and agreed to
issue an additional  warrant to  purchase 1,800,000  shares of  Common Stock  at
$2.50  per share  subject to  certain adjustments  upon complete  funding of the
loan. At June 30, 1993 approximately $6,000,000 of the loan had been funded. The
remaining $500,000 was funded in October  1993 at which time the Company  issued
to Mr. Wilms the additional warrant for 1,800,000 shares of common stock.
 
    David Robbins, a director appointed to the Board in July 1994, as a designee
of  Kirkland  Investment Corporation  ("KIC"), is  employed by  the law  firm of
Kramer, Levin,  Naftalis, Nessen,  Kamin  & Frankel  which has  represented  the
Company  in various  matters related  to the  Company's growth  strategy and its
transactions with  Kirkland and  KIC.  The Company  paid fees  of  approximately
$1,046,000   and  $493,000  to  such  firm  in  fiscal  1994  and  fiscal  1995,
respectively.
 
    In connection with the agreements with  KIC (100% owned by Joel  Kirschbaum)
and  its affiliates  and related  transactions, the  Company has  paid to  or on
behalf of  Kirkland and  its affiliates  a total  of approximately  $346,000  in
fiscal  1994 and $597,000 in fiscal 1995 primarily for reimbursement of expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company.

    In April, 1990,  the Company  entered into  a ten  year lease  to operate  a
non-restricted gaming location in Las Vegas, Nevada. The lease commencement date
was  scheduled to begin  no later than  90 days after  the construction had been
finalized. In January, 1991, the  Company received notice that the  construction
was  complete; however, upon review of the property, the Company did not believe
that construction had been completed. In  August, 1992, the lessor filed a  suit
against  the  Company  seeking  compensatory  and  exemplary  damages  totalling
$18,700,000. In  fiscal  1992, the  Company  had accrued  a  $480,000  liability
representing  back rent owed  to the lessor.  In February, 1993  the lawsuit was
settled and the Company paid the lessor $425,000 in return for resolution of all
prior and  current disputes  regarding  the lease  terms.  The lease  calls  for
monthly rentals of approximately $31,000 and provides for annual increases based
on certain indices. At

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
June  30,  1992, the  Company  sublet the  property  to a  location  operator in
exchange for the right to operate gaming  devices at the property under a  space
lease arrangement for a period of 10 years beginning December, 1992.
 
    The Company and Casino Magic Corporation, through wholly owned subsidiaries,
are  members  in  Kansas  Gaming  Partners,  LLC  ("KGP")  and  Kansas Financial
Partners, LLC ("KFP"), both Kansas limited liability companies. Under an  option
agreement  granted to KGP  by Camptown Greyhound  Racing, Inc. ("Camptown"), KGP
has  been  granted  the  exclusive  right  to  operate  gaming  devices   and/or
casino-type  gaming at Camptown's facility if  and when such gaming is permitted
in Kansas. In September  1994, the Kansas Racing  Commission approved a  revised
financing  proposal submitted  by Camptown  that would  facilitate completion of
construction of a greyhound racing facility  on the 320 acre site in  Frontenac,
Kansas.  Camptown  has  received a  $3,205,000  loan commitment  which  has been
guaranteed by KFP. In December 1994, the Company invested $1,580,000 in KFP  for
its portion of the loan guarantee which was made in the form of a certificate of
deposit.  The Company owns 50% of the equity of KFP which is accounted for under
the equity  method. The  Company  has not  guaranteed  the obligations  of  KFP.
Construction  of Camptown's racing facility has  been completed and the facility
opened for business  in May 1995.  Camptown's obligation to  begin to repay  the
loan  guaranteed  by KFP  commenced in  June 1995  with interest  only payments.
Principal repayment  is scheduled  to commence  in June  1996. There  can be  no
assurance  as to  the successful  completion or  operation of  any part  of this
project.
 
    The Company is also involved in various claims and legal actions arising  in
the  ordinary course  of business. Management  of the Company  believes that the
ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
 
11. ACQUISITIONS
    On July  16, 1994,  the  Rainbow Casino  located in  Vicksburg,  Mississippi
permanently  opened for business. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company
originally purchased a 45% limited  partnership interest in RCVP, a  Mississippi
limited  partnership which  owns the  casino, all  assets (including  the gaming
equipment) associated with the casino and  certain adjacent parcels of land.  As
consideration  for  its  45%  limited  partnership  interest,  the  Company paid
$2,000,000 in cash and issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to RCC and  its
two  sole shareholders. The 55% general partnership interest in RCVP was held by
RCC. In  connection with  the completion  of the  casino, the  Company funded  a
$3,250,000  advance to RCC on the same terms as RCC's financing from Hospitality
Franchise Systems,  Inc. ("HFS")  (other  than the  fact  that such  advance  is
subordinate  to payments due to HFS). On March 29, 1995, the Company consummated
certain transactions  whereby  the Company  acquired  from RCC  the  controlling
general  partnership interest in RCVP and increased its partnership interest. In
exchange for  the assumption  by National  Gaming Mississippi,  Inc. ("NGM"),  a
subsidiary  of  National  Gaming  Corporation,  of  approximately  $1,140,000 of
liabilities (plus a financing fee payable  to HFS) related to the completion  of
certain  incomplete elements  of the project  which survived the  opening of the
casino (for which RCC was  to have been responsible,  but failed to satisfy),  a
related  $652,000 cash  payment by  the Company  to NGM  and commitments  by the
Company and NGM to  fund additional financing required  to complete the  project
(i)  a subsidiary of the  Company became the general  partner and RCC became the
limited partner and (ii) the respective partnership interests were adjusted.  As
a result of these transactions, RCVP assumed $1,304,000 of new debt of which 50%
was  payable to  the Company. Under  the adjusted partnership  interests, RCC is
entitled to receive 10% of the net  available cash flows after debt service  and
other  items, as  defined, (which  amount shall  increase to  20% of  cash above
$35,000,000 (i.e., only on such incremental amount)), for a period of 15  years,
such  period  being subject  to one  year extensions  for each  year in  which a
minimum payment of $50,000 is not made. This transaction was accounted for as an
acquisition  using  the  purchase   method.  Accordingly,  the  purchase   price

was  allocated to  assets acquired  based on  their estimated  fair values. This
treatment resulted in no cost in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill)  being
recognized. The Rainbow Casino's results of operations have been included in the
consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition.
 
    The  following summarized, unaudited pro forma results of operations for the
fiscal year  ended  June 30,  1995,  assume  the complete  acquisition  of  RCVP
occurred on the date the casino permanently opened for business.

12. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS (UNAUDITED)
    On  June 19, 1995, the Company publicly proposed a negotiated acquisition of
Bally Gaming International, Inc.  ("BGII") for $12.50 per  share of BGII  common
stock.  Prior to making this  offer, the Company had  acquired 500,000 shares of
BGII stock  on the  open  market and  at June  30,  1995 held  1,000,000  shares
(approximately  9.3% of  BGII's total outstanding  shares, based  on BGII's most
recent public filings)  which it acquired  at an average  cost of  approximately
$10.41  per share. Under the  proposed terms of the  offer, approximately 60% of
BGII shares  not  held by  the  Company would  be  acquired for  cash  with  the
remainder  exchanged for  shares of  the Company's  common stock.  The offer was
contingent upon satisfactory due diligence, regulatory and stockholder  approval
and  reasonable financing. At  the time the  offer was made  public, the Company
requested expedited due diligence, subject to a confidentiality agreement.  BGII
had  previously announced  a planned  merger with  WMS Industries,  Inc. ("WMS")
which included  an exclusive  period for  WMS  to negotiate  the terms  of  that
proposed  merger. WMS's exclusive  negotiating period had  expired several weeks
before the Company's  proposal was made  without announcement or  action on  the
part  of BGII or WMS. On July 25, 1995, after being refused due diligence access
and the announcement  by BGII that  a definitive agreement  had been reached  to
merge  with WMS,  the Company announced  its intent  to make a  tender offer for
BGII. The tender offer was on largely the same terms as the originally  proposed
acquisition.  On the same date, the Company announced it had filed litigation in
Delaware Chancery Court  requesting that  the court  require BGII  to grant  the
Company  due diligence access,  enjoin BGII from proceeding  with the WMS merger
(including a provision therein requiring  the sale of BGII's German  operations)
and  declare the breakup fee  provided for in the WMS  merger to be invalid. The
Company indicated that it would  increase the price per  share of BGII stock  to
$13.00  per share if the breakup fee  was declared invalid. The tender offer was
conditioned upon the Company being validly  tendered a number of shares of  BGII
stock,  which  combined with  its own  holdings  of such  stock, would  give the
Company a majority of BGII's outstanding  shares. The tender offer commenced  on
July 28, 1995. Subsequently, the Company announced its intention to proceed with
a  consent solicitation to elect a majority of independent directors to the BGII
Board of  Directors. On  August 14,  1995,  the Company,  BGII and  WMS  jointly
announced an agreement whereby the parties would hold in abeyance all activities
related  to pending litigation until September  1, 1995, refrain from commencing
new litigation until that same date, BGII would schedule its annual  shareholder
meeting  for  consideration  of the  proposed  WMS  merger and  the  election of
directors on October 30, 1995, and the Company would extend the expiration  date
of the tender offer until September 12, 1995 and refrain from soliciting proxies
until September 1, 1995. On September 1, 1995, the Company disclosed that it had
obtained  firm  financing commitments  to fund  the tender  offer and  that such
commitments were  not conditioned  on due  diligence of  BGII. Accordingly,  the
Company  extended the expiration date of its tender offer to September 29, 1995.
BGII and  WMS  filed  lawsuits  against the  Company  alleging  numerous  public
misrepresentations  had been  made by the  Company with regards  to the WMS-BGII
agreement, the Company's  tender offer and  the level of  cooperation of  BGII's
board of directors.

12. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Subsequent to filing its lawsuit against the Company, BGII adopted a poison pill
provision  designed to discourage the Company's acquisition efforts. In response
to the poison pill adoption, the  Company announced it had increased its  tender
offer  to $13.00 per share  of BGII common stock  and increased to 5,400,000 the
number of BGII common shares being sought in the tender offer.

                  SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
1.  ADJUSTMENTS FOR FAIR PRESENTATION
    In  the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring  adjustments,
necessary  to present fairly the financial  condition, results of operations and
cash flows of the Company for  the respective periods presented. The results  of
operations  for an interim period are  not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for a full year.
 
    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in  financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have  been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial  statements be  read in  conjunction with  the  financial
statements  and  notes  in  the  Company's  annual  report  on  Form  10-K.  All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
2.  RECLASSIFICATIONS
    Certain  reclassifications  have  been   made  to  prior  period   financial
statements to conform with current period presentations.
 
3.  RECEIVABLES
    The Company's gaming route operations from time to time involve making loans
to  location operators in order to participate in revenues over extended periods
of time.  These loans,  generally made  for buildouts,  tenant improvements  and
initial operating expenses, are generally guaranteed on a full recourse basis by
the  location owner and are secured by  the assets of the location. The majority
of the loans are interest bearing and are expected to be repaid over a period of
time not to exceed the life of the related revenue sharing agreement. The  loans
have  varying payment terms requiring either  weekly or monthly payments. Annual
interest rates on the loans  range from prime plus 1.5%  to stated rates of  12%
with  various maturity dates ranging through 2007.  The loans are expected to be
repaid from  the  locations'  cash  flows  or proceeds  from  the  sale  of  the
leaseholds.
 
    Receivables consist of the following:

    Accrued interest  of  approximately  $1,991,000  (June  30)  and  $1,973,000
(December  31)  is  included  in accrued  expenses  in  the  unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets. Amounts due to stockholder include amounts owed  to
affiliates of Alfred H. Wilms, the Company's largest stockholder and a member of
the  Board of  Directors of  the Company, relating  to funding  of the Company's
majority-controlled subsidiary,  Video Services,  Inc.'s ("VSI")  gaming  device
route operations.
 
5.  INCOME TAXES
    The  Company accounts for income taxes  in accordance with the provisions of
Financial Accounting Standard  No. 109  Accounting for Income  Taxes. Under  the
asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are  recognized  for the  future  tax consequences  attributable  to differences
between the financial statement carrying  amounts of assets and liabilities  and
their  respective tax  basis. Deferred tax  assets and  liabilities are measured
using enacted tax  rates expected to  apply to  taxable income in  the years  in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
Statement  109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is  recognized in  income in the  period that  includes the  enactment
date.
 
    Due  to losses and the lack  of available carrybacks, the Company recognized
no federal income tax expense or benefit for the six month period ended December
31, 1994 and 1995 other than the tax effects of changes in the unrealized  gains
(losses) on securities available for sale. At December 31, 1995, the Company had
estimated  net operating loss  carryforwards for federal  income tax purposes of
approximately $35,000,000 which are available  to offset future federal  taxable
income,  if any, expiring 2007  through 2009. The deferred  tax asset related to
the net operating losses has been fully reserved.
 
6.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS
    Intangible Assets  includes $4,272,000,  net  of $1,232,000  of  accumulated
amortization, for costs related to the commissions, discounts and other issuance
costs  of  the Company's  private placement  of $85,000,000  aggregate principal
amount of  7.5% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures  due 2003.  Such costs  are
being amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the debentures.

6.  INVESTMENT IN MINORITY OWNED SUBSIDIARY (CONTINUED)
Camptown Greyhound  Racing,  Inc. ("Camptown")  and  The Racing  Association  of
Kansas-Southeast  ("TRAK Southeast"), KGP has  been granted the exclusive right,
which right expires  on September  13, 2013,  to operate  gaming devices  and/or
casino-type  gaming at  Camptown's racing facility  in Frontenac,  Kansas if and
when such gaming is permitted in  Kansas. In December 1994, Camptown received  a
$3,205,000 loan from Boatmen's Bank which was guaranteed by KFP. The Company and
Casino  Magic  Corporation each  invested $1,580,000  in KFP  which was  used to
purchase a certificate of deposit to collateralize its guaranty. Construction of
Camptown's racing  facility  has been  completed  and the  facility  opened  for
business  in May 1995. The racing facility was temporarily closed on November 5,
1995 due  to poor  financial results.  Camptown filed  for reorganization  under
Chapter  11  of the  U.S.  Bankruptcy Code  in January  1996  and has  stated an
intention to reopen for business following bankruptcy reorganization.  Boatmen's
Bank  demanded payment  of the  Camptown loan  from KFP  under the  terms of the
guaranty. KFP paid  the loan and  Boatmen's Bank returned  KFP's certificate  of
deposit  and KFP assumed Boatmen's Bank's position in the loan to Camptown which
is secured  by a  second mortgage  on Camptown's  greyhound racing  facility  in
Frontenac,  Kansas.  TRAK Southeast  and Camptown  continue to  be bound  by the
Option Agreement.  KFP  intends to  vigorously  pursue  all of  its  rights  and
remedies  which  may include,  among other  things,  seeking authority  from the
bankruptcy court to commence a foreclosure action. In the case of a  foreclosure
action,  KFP would be required  to assume or pay  the existing first mortgage of
approximately $2,000,000 if  KFP becomes  the purchaser  at any  such sale.  The
Company  intends to continue to monitor its investment in KFP. While the Company
is encouraged by the positive movement in Kansas towards considering legislation
that would  legalize  the  operation  of gaming  devices  at  pari-mutuel  track
locations,  there can be no  assurance as to Camptown's  ability to maintain its
license at the location, or any  successful completion or operation of any  part
of this project.

amortization, for costs related to the commissions, discounts and other issuance
costs of  the Company's  private placement  of $85,000,000  aggregate  principal

9.  PROPOSED BGII MERGER TRANSACTION
    On October  18,  1995, the  Company  and Bally  Gaming  International,  Inc.
("BGII")  entered into a definitive merger  agreement ("Merger") under which the
outstanding shares of BGII common stock would each be exchanged for $13 in  cash
and shares of the Company's common stock.
 
    On  January 22, 1996, the parties reached an agreement to amend the terms of
the Merger.  Under  the amended  agreement,  each  share of  BGII  common  stock
outstanding  (10,799,501  as of  September 30,  1995  less the  1,000,000 shares
already owned by the Company)  will receive $7.83 per  share in cash, $3.57  per
share  in the  Company's Series  B Special  Stock which  is a  Pay-in-Kind (PIK)
preferred stock, and $0.30 per share of

9.  PROPOSED BGII MERGER TRANSACTION (CONTINUED)
the Company's common stock totaling $11.70  per share of BGII common stock.  The
PIK preferred stock has an eight-year maturity and has a dividend rate of 15% as
follows:  PIK at 15% for the first five years;  8% PIK and 7% cash for years six
and seven; and 15% cash in the eighth  year of the term. All shares of Series  B
Special  Stock are mandatorily redeemable by  the eighth anniversary of the date
of initial issuance. If the  Company fails to redeem  such shares by that  date,
then  the number of directors constituting the Company's Board will be increased
by two and the  holders of the shares  of Series B Special  Stock will have  the
right  to elect  no more than  two directors  total to the  Company's Board. The
holders of Series B Special Stock will have no other remedies upon such  failure
to  redeem the outstanding shares of Series  B Special Stock by such date. Other
than as described herein, the holders of  shares of Series B Special Stock  have
no  other voting rights except as stated by  law. The Company intends to seek to
have the Series B Special Stock quoted  on NASDAQ. The aggregate amount of  cash
is unchanged from the previous agreement.
 
    The  transaction is subject to approval by shareholders, obtaining customary
regulatory approvals, the securing of $150,000,000 in permanent financing by the
Company including $15,000,000 through a registered public offering of the Series
B Special Stock, and certain other  conditions. The Merger is expected to  occur
in late April 1996.
 
10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
    In  June  1995,  Bally  Entertainment Corporation  ("BEC")  asserted  that a
certain agreement between  BEC and BGII  (the "Noncompete Agreement")  prohibits
the  use of the trade name "Bally" if it is merged with a company that is in the
casino business within or without the  United States and operates such  business
prior  to January 8,  1996. BGII believes  such claim is  entirely without merit
since the restriction referred to  expires on January 8,  1996 and in any  event
does  not relate to the use  of the "Bally" trade name,  which is covered by the
License Agreement. The restriction in the Noncompete Agreement will not have any
impact on the combined company after the Merger since the effective time of  the
Merger  contemplates  a  closing of  the  Merger  after the  restriction  in the
Noncompete Agreement lapses. BEC has not  reasserted this position since it  was
informed  by BGII in July  1995 that the restriction  lapses on January 8, 1996.
Consequently, BGII  believes  BEC has  determined  not to  contest  with  BGII's
position.
 
    BEC has also asserted that its permission is required for use of the "Bally"
trade  name by  any entity other  than BGII and  that a merger  between BGII and
another company  would violate  the terms  of the  License Agreement.  BGII  has
denied  these claims and believes that the surviving company in a merger will be
permitted to use the  "Bally" trade name  in accordance with  the terms of  such
License  Agreement. BGII  believes that no  breach of such  License Agreement is
caused by the  Merger and the  use of the  "Bally" trade name  by the  surviving
corporation. In a letter dated November 9, 1995, BEC reasserted its position. On
November  20,  1995  the  Company, the  Company's  Merger  Subsidiary,  and BGII
commenced an action against BEC in Federal District Court in Delaware seeking  a
declaratory  judgment, among  other things,  that the  surviving company  in the
Merger will be permitted to  use the "Bally" trade  name in accordance with  the
terms  of the  License Agreement, and  seeking injunctive  relief (the "Alliance
Action"). On November  28, 1995,  BEC commenced  an action  against BGII,  Bally
Gaming  (a BGII subsidiary), the Company, and the Company's Merger Subsidiary in
Federal District Court  in New Jersey  to enjoin the  defendants from using  the
"Bally"  trade  name (the  "BEC  Action"). The  BEC  Action alleges  that BGII's
continued use  of  the  trade  name  after the  Merger  will  (1)  constitute  a
prohibited  assignment of BGII's rights to use the trade name and (2) exceed the
scope of the license granted to BGII  because BGII will be under control of  the
Company.  Also on November 28, 1995, BEC  filed a motion to dismiss, transfer to
New Jersey, or stay  the Alliance Action pending  resolution of the BEC  Action.
BGII,  Bally Gaming, the Company, and  the Company's Merger Subsidiary intend to
vigorously defend their  position in  these actions.  However, there  can be  no

assurance  that  BEC  will not  be  successful  in its  action  to  prohibit the
surviving corporation in the Merger from using the "Bally" trade name. The  loss
of  the "Bally"  trade name  may have  a material  adverse effect  on the gaming
machine operations of the surviving corporation in the Merger.
 
11. INITIAL SERIES SPECIAL STOCK
    In September 1993, Kirkland-Ft. Worth Investment Partners, L.P. ("Kirkland")
invested $5,000,000  in the  Company in  exchange for  1,333,333 shares  of  the
Company's  Non-Voting Junior Convertible Special Stock, which are convertible on
a share for share basis into shares of the Company's Common Stock, and  warrants
to  purchase  up  to  2,750,000  shares  of  common  stock  subject  to  certain
conditions. In December 1995, Kirkland  elected to convert the entire  1,333,333
shares of Special Stock into shares of the Company's Common Stock.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors
Bally Gaming International, Inc.
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bally Gaming
International,   Inc.  as  of  December  31,  1995  and  1994  and  the  related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows  for
each  of the three years in the  period ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements  are   the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion  on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
    We conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles used  and  significant estimates  made  by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial  statements referred to above present  fairly,
in  all material respects,  the consolidated financial  position of Bally Gaming
International, Inc.  as of  December 31,  1995 and  1994, and  the  consolidated
results  of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period  ended  December 31,  1995,  in conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Bally  Gaming International, Inc. (the "Company")  was formed in August 1991
by Bally Entertainment  Corporation ("BEC")  to consolidate  the gaming  machine
manufacturing and distribution operations of BEC. These operations are conducted
in  Germany under the name Bally Wulff  ("Wulff") and in the United States under
the name Bally Gaming ("Gaming")  and Bally Systems ("Systems"). Wulff  designs,
manufactures  (through  the Company's  wholly-owned subsidiary  "Automaten") and
distributes  (through   the  Company's   wholly-owned  subsidiary   "Vertriebs")
wall-mounted,  coin-operated, armless  gaming devices  similar to  slot machines
known as wall machines and also distributes recreational and amusement  machines
manufactured  by  third parties.  Gaming  designs, manufactures  and distributes
electronic slot machines and video  gaming machines. Systems designs,  assembles
and sells computerized monitoring systems for slot and video gaming machines. In
three  transactions  dated  November 1991,  July  1992 and  September  1993, BEC
divested substantially all its interests in the Company.
 
    Certain  reclassifications  have  been   made  to  prior  years'   financial
statements to conform with the 1995 presentation.
 
    Hereafter,  references to the Company are  to the consolidated operations of
Wulff, Gaming and Systems including the predecessor operations.
 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The consolidated financial  statements include the  accounts of the  Company
and  all subsidiaries.  All significant  intercompany balances  and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    Cash  equivalents  consist  of  highly  liquid  investments  with   original
maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash.
 
  INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories  are  stated at  the lower  of cost,  determined on  a first-in,
first-out basis,  or  market. Cost  elements  included for  work-in-process  and
finished  goods include raw  materials, freight, direct  labor and manufacturing
overhead.
 
  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Depreciation  is  provided  by  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the
estimated  economic lives of the related assets  and the terms of the applicable
leases for leasehold improvements, which range from 3 to 30 years.
 
    Significant replacements and improvements are capitalized; other maintenance
and repairs  are  expensed. The  cost  and accumulated  depreciation  of  assets
retired  or  otherwise disposed  of  are eliminated  from  the accounts  and any
resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income as appropriate.
 
  INTANGIBLE AND OTHER ASSETS
 
    Intangible assets  include the  cost in  excess of  net assets  of  acquired
businesses,  which  are  being  amortized using  the  straight-line  method over
periods ranging up to 40 years from dates of acquisition.
 
    In July 1992,  the Company  reached an  agreement for  an exclusive  license
until  December 31, 2005, subject to extension,  of a patent relating to the use
of credit cards  in gaming  machines, and  acquired 1%  of the  stock of  Scotch
Twist,  Inc., a private company which granted  this license, in exchange for the
issuance of  100,001  shares  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock.  The  licensing
agreement requires the Company to commit

                        BALLY GAMING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
$1.2  million in research and development costs  related to the patent, plus any
costs related to  obtaining required  regulatory approvals and  licenses. As  of
December  31,  1995 approximately  $1 million  has been  spent relative  to this
commitment.
 
    In July  1992  and again  in  March 1995,  the  Company and  BEC  amended  a
trademark  license agreement ("License Agreement") pursuant to which the Company
licensed the use of the name "Bally" for its use in the gaming machine  business
worldwide.  Prior to 1995,  the trademark licensing  rights were being amortized
using the straight-line method over a 20  year period. Pursuant to the terms  of
the  March 1995 amendment, the Company reduced the remaining amortization period
to five years effective March 31, 1995, resulting in an increase in amortization
expense of approximately $315,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
    In January 1993,  as part  of an  amendment to  an intercorporate  agreement
between  the Company  and BEC,  a long-term  income tax  receivable from  BEC of
$1,971,000 was exchanged  for certain  assets owned by  BEC but  managed by  the
Company, a reduction in the period from six years to three years of certain non-
competition  restrictions  previously  imposed on  the  Company by  BEC  and the
settlement of certain  other intercompany  service arrangements  with BEC.  This
transaction  resulted  in  an  increase to  intangible  assets  of approximately
$1,515,000 which is being amortized over a 6 year period.
 
    In June 1994, the Company acquired a paid up license for use of a patent  on
slot  machines manufactured or sold during the  life of the patent. The owner of
the patent had recently filed an infringement action against various casinos  in
Atlantic  City  alleging  infringement  of  a  certain  patent  by  these casino
companies. As a result of the agreement, the casino operator defendants will  be
released  from any claims relating to the  past and future use of certain gaming
machines manufactured by the Company. The Company agreed to pay $2 million  over
a  5 year period, without interest, for the  paid up license. The asset is fully
amortized as of December 31, 1995.
 
    The  carrying  value  of  intangible  assets  is  periodically  reviewed  by
management  and  impairment losses,  if any,  are  recognized when  the expected
non-discounted future operating cash flows  derived from such intangible  assets
is  less than their  carrying value. In 1995,  Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and  for
Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS  No. 121") was issued which will be
effective for  the  Company's  year  ended December  31,  1996.  This  statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be
held  and  used  be  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes in
circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  amount   of  such  assets  may  not   be
recoverable.  Management believes that if SFAS No. 121 had been early adopted at
December 31, 1995,  it would not  have had  a material effect  on the  financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
    Taxes on income of Wulff are provided at the tax rates applicable to the tax
jurisdictions  in Germany, as  Wulff files separate  foreign income tax returns.
German withholding  taxes and  related United  States federal  income taxes  are
provided on Wulff earnings.
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    The  Company sells products on  normal credit terms (90  days or less), over
longer term installments of up to 36 months or more or through payments from the
net winnings of the machines until the purchase price is paid.
 
    Revenue from  sales  of  gaming  machines  and  recreational  and  amusement
equipment  is normally recognized at the time products are shipped and title has
passed to the customer. Revenue from sales of software included in  computerized
management  systems is recognized  at the time  the systems are  accepted by the
customer, which normally coincides with  installation of the equipment.  Revenue
from sales of hardware included in computerized management systems is recognized
at the time the product is shipped.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
 
  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  consolidated
financial  statements and the  reported amounts of  revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
    The  functional  currency  of  Wulff  is  the  Deutsche  Mark.  Assets   and
liabilities  of Wulff are translated  at the rate of exchange  at the end of the
period, and the statements of operations  are translated at the average rate  of
exchange  for the  period. Translation adjustments  are reflected  as a separate
component  of  stockholder's  equity.  Gains  and  losses  on  foreign  currency
transactions are included in net income.
 
  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
    The  Company expenses  product research  and development  costs as incurred.
Research and development costs for the  years ended December 31, 1993, 1994  and
1995 were $7.8 million, $8.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
 
  STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AWARDS
 
    The  Company accounts  for its  stock-based employee  compensation awards in
accordance with  Accounting Principles  Board Opinion  No. 25,  "Accounting  for
Stock  Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, because the exercise price
of the Company's employee stock options and stock performance rights equals  the
market price on date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
 
    In  1995, Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards  No. 123, "Accounting
for Awards of Stock-Based Compensation to Employees" ("SFAS No. 123") was issued
which will be effective for the Company's year ended December 31, 1996. SFAS No.
123 provides alternative  accounting treatment  to APB  No. 25  with respect  to
stock-based  compensation and requires certain additional disclosures, including
disclosures if the Company  elects not to adopt  the accounting requirements  of
SFAS  No.  123. At  this point,  the  Company does  not anticipate  adopting the
accounting requirements of  SFAS No.  123 and  therefore in  future years  would
expect  to provide the  required additional disclosures in  the footnotes to the
consolidated financial statements.
 
  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 
    Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
by the  weighted average  number of  shares  of common  stock and  common  stock
equivalents  outstanding totaling 10,685,054, 10,726,556  and 10,775,699 for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995.
 
    Common stock equivalents were  not included in  the computation of  earnings
(loss)  per  common  share  as  their effect  would  have  been  antidilutive or
immaterial.
 
MERGER AGREEMENT, TENDER OFFER AND RELATED LITIGATION
 
    On October  17, 1995,  the Board  of Directors  of the  Company approved  an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with Alliance Gaming Corporation ("Alliance") which
was  subsequently amended as of January  23, 1996 ("Merger Agreement"). Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement,  the Company will merge  with a subsidiary of  Alliance
("Alliance  Merger Subsidiary") with the Company being the surviving corporation
and becoming  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of  Alliance ("Alliance  Merger").  The
Merger Agreement provides that the Company's stockholders will have the right to
receive,  in exchange  for each  of their issued  and outstanding  shares of the
Company's common stock (i) an amount of cash determined by dividing  $76,700,000
by  the number of  shares of the Company's  common stock outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time of the  Merger (other than shares which are held  by
the  Company, Alliance  or their respective  subsidiaries) ("Converted Shares"),
(ii) a  fraction  of a  share  of common  stock,  $.10 par  value,  of  Alliance
("Alliance

Common Stock") having a value determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement
of  $.30 (the "Common Stock Consideration") and  (iii) that number of shares (or
fractions thereof) of 15%  Non-Voting Junior Special Stock,  Series B, $.10  par
value,  of Alliance (the "Series B Special  Stock") having a value determined in
accordance with the Merger Agreement equal to $11.40 less the cash consideration
described in clause (i)  above. The obligations of  Alliance and the Company  to
consummate  the  Alliance Merger  are subject  to various  conditions, including
obtaining  requisite  stockholder  and   regulatory  approvals  and   Alliance's
obtaining  $150 million in financing on  commercially reasonable terms, at least
two-thirds of which must be in the form  of bank debt, other debt having a  term
of  at least  four years  or equity. In  conjunction with  the Merger Agreement,
Alliance terminated its  unsolicited tender offer  and consent solicitation  and
withdrew  its  litigation  against  the Company  and  the  Company  withdrew its
litigation against Alliance.

    In  July  1993, the  Company completed  a private  placement of  $40 million
principal amount of 10 3/8% Senior Secured Notes due July 1998 and Common  Stock
Purchase  Warrants to purchase 1.2 million shares of Common Stock exercisable at
$12.50 per share  after the Common  Stock has traded  at an average  of $20  per
share  for  a twenty  consecutive  trading day  period  and under  certain other
circumstances. The warrants became exercisable during November 1993. The Company
allocated $600,000  of  the $40  million  gross  proceeds to  the  warrants  and
accordingly  recorded the Senior Secured Notes at $39.4 million with unamortized
discount of  $600,000  (the effective  yield  of  the Senior  Secured  Notes  is
10.77%).  The Company used  $21.6 million of  the gross proceeds  of $40 million
from the sale  of the notes  and warrants to  redeem all of  its outstanding  6%
Senior  Convertible Debentures due  2002. The Company  realized an extraordinary
gain of  approximately  $3.8 million  from  the redemption  of  the  Convertible
Debentures  in 1993.  The gain  represents the  difference between  the carrying
amount  of  the  debt  retired  and  related  deferred  financing  costs  ($25.4

million) and the redemption price of $21.6 million. The Senior Secured Notes are
collateralized  by a  pledge of the  outstanding capital stock  of Automaten and
Vertriebs and  a  guarantee by  Bally  Gaming, Inc.  The  Notes are  subject  to
redemption,  at the option of  the Company, at a  redemption price equal to 103%
and 101.5% of the principal  amount of the Notes  if redeemed during the  twelve
month  period beginning on the  anniversary of the issue  date in the years 1996
and 1997, respectively.
 
    During March  1993, Vertriebs  obtained two  bank lines  of credit  for  the
purpose  of financing  the acquisition  of assets  acquired from  an independent
distributor.  The  agreements   provide  for  borrowings   of  DM2,250,000   and
DM16,000,000  (approximately $1,600,000  and $11,200,000) at  December 31, 1995,
respectively. Availability  of the  DM2,250,000  line of  credit is  reduced  by
DM250,000  per quarter and expires on March 31, 1998. Borrowings under this line
of credit bear interest at 6.95%.  The working capital revolving credit line  of
DM16,000,000  bears interest at  a rate tied to  an international borrowing rate
plus 1%  (5.3% at  December 31,  1995) and  is due  on demand.  These lines  are
collateralized by a pledge of the assets acquired. Approximately $12,751,000 was
outstanding  under  these lines  at December  31, 1995.  In May  1993, Vertriebs
obtained  a  DM16,300,000  (approximately  $11,400,000  at  December  31,  1995)
revolving  line of credit  for general working  capital purposes. This agreement
bears interest at a rate tied to  an international borrowing rate plus 1%  (4.8%
at  December 31, 1995) and is due on  demand. This line is collateralized by the
receivables of Vertriebs.  Approximately $3,144,000 was  outstanding under  this
line  at December  31, 1995. Vertriebs  and Automaten are  jointly and severally
liable under these lines of credit.
 
    In March 1993, Bally Gaming, Inc.  obtained a bank revolving line of  credit
which, as amended, provides for borrowings tied to a percentage of Bally Gaming,
Inc.'s  eligible (as  defined in  the credit  agreement) inventory  and accounts
receivable with a  maximum borrowing capacity  of $15,000,000. Borrowings  under
this  agreement, which expires March 31, 1997, bear interest at one and one-half
percent above the bank's prime rate (10% at December 31, 1995). The Company must
pay an annual facility fee of one-half  of one percent of the maximum  borrowing
capacity  and a  monthly unused line  fee of  one-quarter of one  percent of the
difference  between  the  maximum  borrowing  capacity  and  the  average  daily
outstanding  balance during any month. This  line of credit is collateralized by
property,  plant  and  equipment  and   the  eligible  inventory  and   accounts
receivable.  The  agreement  and  subsequent  amendments  also  contain  certain
financial and other  restrictive covenants, including  the maintenance by  Bally
Gaming, Inc. of specified levels of minimum net working capital, working capital
ratio,  tangible net worth, net worth ratio, and minimum net income after taxes,
all as defined in the credit  agreement. Eligible borrowing capacity under  this
agreement  at  December 31,  1995  was approximately  $15,000,000. Approximately
$9,400,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1995.
 
    Aggregate annual  maturities of  long-term  debt for  the five  years  after
December  31, 1995 are $14.9 million,  $11.5 million, $43.6 million, $.3 million
and none.
 
STOCK PLANS, AWARDS AND RIGHTS
 
  1991 INCENTIVE PLAN
 
    On November 6, 1991,  the Company adopted the  1991 Incentive Plan of  Bally
Gaming  International, Inc. (the "Plan")  for directors (employee directors that
are not members of the Compensation and  Stock Option Committee of the Board  of
Directors),    officers,   key    employees   and    consultants   (collectively
"Participants"). The  Plan  provides  for  the grant  of  stock  options,  stock
appreciation  rights ("SARs") and restricted  stock (collectively "Awards"). The
aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be delivered under the Plan
and the 1991 Non-Employee Directors' Option Plan described below may not  exceed
1,250,000 shares. No awards may be granted after November 6, 2001.
 
    The  Plan  provides for  granting incentive  as  well as  nonqualified stock
options. Unless the  Compensation and  Stock Option  Committee of  the Board  of
Directors, in its discretion, determines otherwise,
 
                                      F-41
<PAGE>
                        BALLY GAMING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
nonqualified  stock options will  be granted with  an option price  equal to the
fair market value of the shares of common stock at the date of grant.  Incentive
stock  options must  be granted at  not less than  the fair market  value of the
shares of common stock at the date of grant.
 
    SARs are rights granted  to Participants to receive  shares of common  stock
and/or cash in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the
shares  of common stock  on the date the  SARs are exercised  over (ii) the fair
market value of the shares of common stock on the date the SARs were granted or,
at the discretion of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
Directors, the date the option was granted, if granted in tandem with an  option
granted on a different date.
 
    Restricted  stock awards are rights granted to an employee to receive shares
of common stock without payment but subject to forfeiture and other restrictions
as set forth in the Plan. Generally, the restricted stock awarded, and the right
to vote such stock or to receive  dividends thereon, may not be sold,  exchanged
or  otherwise disposed  of during  the restricted  period. The  Compensation and
Stock Option  Committee of  the  Board of  Directors,  in its  discretion,  will
determine   the  restrictions  and  the   forfeiture  provisions  applicable  to
restricted stock  awards. The  Plan  provides that,  at  the discretion  of  the
Compensation  and Stock Option Committee of  the Board of Directors, the Company
may pay cash  to Participants to  insure that the  Participant will receive  the
common stock net of all taxes imposed on such Participant related to the receipt
of  common stock and cash payments under the Plan. During 1991, restricted stock
awards for 72,500  shares of common  stock were  granted under the  Plan to  key
employees  effective January 1, 1992. These  awards are fully vested at December
31, 1995. In 1993, 100,000 shares of restricted common stock were granted to  an
officer  of the Company. This award vests ratably over a five-year period. As of
December 31, 1995, 40,000 shares of this award were vested.
 
    The Plan  is administered  by the  Compensation and  Stock Option  Committee
which  will  determine the  participants  to whom  awards  will be  granted, the
provisions applicable to each award and the time periods during which the awards
may be exercised. Each option and SAR granted under the Plan may be  exercisable
for  a term of not more than ten  years after the date of grant. Incentive stock
options and SARs  granted in  tandem with incentive  stock options  may only  be
exercised  when the fair market value of common stock is greater than the option
price. Certain  other  restrictions  apply  in connection  with  the  timing  of
exercise. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the Plan), the date
on  which all SARs and options outstanding under the Plan may first be exercised
is accelerated, and  restrictions on restricted  stock awards lapse.  Generally,
all SARs and options terminate 90 days after a change of control.
 
  1991 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' OPTION PLAN
 
    The 1991 Non-Employee Directors' Option Plan of the Company (the "Directors'
Plan")  was also adopted in November 1991.  The Directors' Plan provides for the
granting of stock  options at  the Company's  initial public  offering price  to
persons  who, on the consummation of the Company's initial public offering, were
members of the Board of  Directors and who are not  employees of the Company  or
its subsidiaries ("Non-Employee Directors"), and thereafter, options are granted
at  fair market value  to persons who  become members of  the Board of Directors
after the Company's  initial public offering  and who are  not employees of  the
Company  or its  subsidiaries at the  time they  become members of  the Board of
Directors. Each  of the  Non-Employee Directors  received, or  will receive,  an
option, for ten years, to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock that vests over
three  years.  Administration, the  term of  the Directors'  Plan and  change of
control features for the Directors' Plan are consistent with the above described
Plan.

  1992 RESTRICTED STOCK PERFORMANCE PLAN
 
    On  November 3,  1992, the  Company's Board  of Directors  adopted the Bally
Gaming  International,  Inc.  1992   Restricted  Stock  Performance  Plan   (the
"Performance  Plan").  The purpose  of the  Performance Plan  is to  benefit the
Company through  increased incentive  on the  part of  key employees,  officers,
directors  and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries by permitting the
Company to make awards of Restricted Stock and/or Performance Units comprised of
stock and cash to such persons based upon specific performance objectives. Up to
600,000 shares of the Company's common stock have been reserved under this plan.
In February 1993, 200,000 Performance Units  were granted in connection with  an
employment  agreement entered into by the Company with its Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer. In May 1993, 200,000 Performance Units were granted
in connection with an employment agreement entered into by the Company and Bally
Gaming, Inc. with  its new President.  In December 1993,  an additional  120,000
Performance  Units were  granted to  other members  of senior  management of the
Company, of which 40,000 units were canceled during the year ended December  31,
1994.
 
    Under  the  terms of  the  award agreements  as  amended June  8,  1994, the
Performance Units will vest if either (i) the cumulative annual growth rate  for
any  three consecutive  years during the  Performance Period (as  defined in the
Performance Plan) is at  least 35% (the  "EPS Growth Target")  or (ii) the  fair
market value of the Common Stock (as determined based on the market price of the
Common  Stock) equals  or exceeds $40  per share  for at least  twenty of thirty
consecutive trading  days (the  "Market Price  Target") or  (iii) under  certain
circumstances  following a change in  control or (iv) the  Company enters into a
business combination or (v) the Company  obtains a capital infusion of at  least
$30,000,000  provided however if (i) the  Company's earnings per share growth in
any consecutive three  years during the  Performance Period (as  defined in  the
Performance  Plan) is at least 85% of the EPS Growth Target, at least 70% of the
Performance Units will vest, or  (ii) the Company's stock  price at any time  in
the  Performance Period (as defined in the  Performance Plan) is at least 85% of
the Market Price Target, at least 70%  of the Performance Units will vest.  Each
Performance  Unit is equal in value to  one share of the Company's Common Stock,
plus an additional amount in cash equal  to fifty percent (50%) of the value  of
one share of Common Stock, based on the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the date the award vests. Payments are to be made in common stock and/or cash as
determined  by the Compensation Committee. No accruals have been recorded in the
Company's financial  statements as  of  December 31,  1995 as  such  performance
objectives have not yet begun to be met.

  1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
 
    The  1994 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "1994 Directors'
Plan") was adopted in April 1994 and provides for the granting of stock  options
of  the Company's Common Stock exercisable  at fair market value to Non-Employee
Directors. Each of the Non-Employee Directors received an option, for ten years,
to purchase  25,000 shares  of Common  Stock that  vests over  three years.  The
option  price  was  $12.875. The  1994  Directors'  Plan has  change  in control
features similar to those contained in the 1991 Directors' Plan. 250,000  shares
of  the Company's Common Stock were reserved  for future issuance under the 1994
Directors' Plan. At December 31, 1995, 125,000 shares had been granted of  which
33,333 shares were exercisable, 25,000 had been canceled and none had previously
been exercised.
 
  STOCK PERFORMANCE RIGHTS ("SPRS")
 
    Stock  Performance  Rights ("SPRs")  are  rights granted  to  individuals to
receive cash in an amount  equal to the excess of  (i) the fair market value  of
the shares of common stock on the date the SPRs are exercised over (ii) the fair
market value of the shares of common stock on the date the SPRs were granted.
 
    In  1993, 100,000 SPRs were  granted to an officer of  the Company at a fair
market value on date  of grant of  $11.625 in connection with  the signing of  a
five-year  employment agreement.  These SPRs vest  ratably over the  term of the
employment agreement and become exercisable at  the end of each vesting  period.
As  of December 31, 1995, 40,000 of the SPRs were exercisable, and none had been
previously exercised.
 
  WARRANTS
 
    The Company  issued  warrants to  the  underwriters of  the  initial  public
offering  of  the Company's  common stock  to purchase  an aggregate  of 300,000
shares of its  common stock.  The warrants  are exercisable  during a  four-year
period  ending November 11, 1996 at an exercise  price of $15 per share. For the
year ended  December  31, 1993,  2,000  warrants  were exercised  and  no  other
warrants have since been exercised.
 
    In  1993, the Company issued warrants to  purchase 1.2 million shares of its
common stock at $12.50 per share in connection with the private placement of the
Senior Secured Notes.  These warrants  are currently exercisable  and expire  on
July  29, 1998. At December 31, 1995  none of these warrants were exercised. See
"Long-term Debt and Lines of Credit."

UNUSUAL CHARGES
 
    During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company incurred  approximately
$4.0  million  in legal,  accounting,  investment banking,  public  and investor
relations and printing  costs in  connection with  a merger  agreement with  WMS
Industries, Inc., which has been terminated, Alliance's tender offer and consent
solicitation  and  the pending  Alliance Merger.  All of  these costs  have been
expensed as incurred. Such costs will continue to be incurred in 1996.
 
    During the fourth quarter of 1995, Vertriebs recorded a non-recurring charge
of $.8 million to writedown to net  realizable value a building to be sold.  The
provision  was based  on a  strategic decision to  sell the  building as Wulff's
other distribution offices adequately covered  the geographic region that  would
have been served by this facility.
 
    During  1995, Wulff increased the amount of value added tax reserves by $1.0
million as a result of developments to  date in an ongoing quadrennial audit  of
Wulff's  tax returns for the years 1988  through 1991. While no written claim or
assessment has  been issued,  the German  tax authorities  have orally  proposed
preliminary  adjustments which range from $1.4  million (which has been accrued)
to $5.0 million.  The Company  has accrued the  liability as,  based on  current
developments,  the Company's estimate of the ultimate outcome and its experience
in contesting these matters, it is  probable that a liability has been  incurred
and  a range of costs can be reasonably estimated. As the scope of the liability
is better determined,  there could be  changes in the  estimate of the  ultimate
liability.  Management believes  that the  preliminary proposed  adjustments are
without merit and the  ultimate results of  the audit will  not have a  material
adverse  effect on  the Company's financial  position, results  of operations or
cash flows.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    Effective January 1, 1993,  the Company adopted the  provisions of SFAS  No.
109,  "Accounting for Income  Taxes" which requires  recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for temporary differences and net operating loss  ("NOL")
and  tax credit  carryforwards. Under  SFAS No.  109, deferred  income taxes are
established based on enacted tax rates  expected to be in effect when  temporary
differences  are scheduled to  reverse and NOL and  tax credit carryforwards are
expected to be utilized. The cumulative effect  of the adoption of SFAS No.  109
had an immaterial effect on net income for the year ended December 31, 1993.
 
    The  provision (credit) for foreign and  domestic income taxes for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 was as follows:

    At  December 31, 1994 and 1995, net deferred tax assets resulted from German
net operating loss carryforwards and,  inventory and intangible assets  book/tax
basis  differences.  At December  31, 1995  the Company  has foreign  tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $13.0 million and alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
credit carryforwards  of  approximately $.6  million.  Foreign tax  credits  are
available  to offset  future taxes  due in  the U.S.  on future  foreign taxable
income and expire between 1997 and 2001 unless utilized prior to such time.  AMT
credits  are available  to be carried  forward indefinitely and  may be utilized
against regular U.S. corporate income tax to  the extent it does not exceed  tax
computed under AMT calculations.
 
    The  provision for income taxes at the Company's effective tax rate differed
from the provision for income taxes at the statutory rate as follows:

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
    In connection  with  the  Company's initial  public  offering,  BEC  granted
restricted stock awards for shares of the Company's common stock owned by BEC to
certain  senior  executives  of  the  Company.  These  restricted  stock  awards
represent compensation from the  Company equal to the  fair market value of  the
 
                                      F-46

           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
shares on the date of the awards and are recorded as unearned compensation and a
capital   contribution  in  the   accompanying  financial  statements.  Unearned
compensation is charged to operations over the vesting periods of the awards.
 
    In connection with the  Company's initial public  offering, the Company  and
BEC entered into an intercorporate agreement which was amended in July 1992, and
again  in  January 1993,  which  provided, among  other  things, that  BEC would
perform certain  accounting, tax,  treasury,  legal, data  processing,  employee
benefits  and other services which the Company reasonably requests, and that the
Company would reimburse BEC  for the reasonable cost  of all services  rendered,
including salaries and expenses of BEC's employees while they are rendering such
services.  Charges by BEC to the  Company under the intercorporate agreement for
the years ended  December 31,  1993, 1994 and  1995 were  $295,000, $90,000  and
none, respectively.
 
    The  Company participated in  BEC's insurance program  for general liability
and directors' and officers' liability  coverage through June 1993. Under  these
programs,  insurance  expenses  were  charged to  the  Company  based  on claims
experience and for  reimbursements of  premium payments made  by BEC.  Insurance
expense  charged to the Company was $281,000, none, and none for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    The Company  had  a  long-term  income  tax  receivable  from  BEC  totaling
$1,971,000  at December 31, 1992. As part  of an amendment to the intercorporate
agreement between the Company and BEC,  which was entered into in January  1993,
the  income  tax  receivable  of $1,971,000  was  exchanged  for  certain assets
previously owned by BEC but  managed by the Company,  a reduction in the  period
from six years to three years of certain non-competition restrictions previously
imposed  on  the Company  by BEC  and settlement  of certain  other intercompany
service arrangements  with BEC.  This  transaction resulted  in an  increase  to
intangible  assets of approximately  $1,515,000 which is  being amortized over a
six-year period.
 
    Waters, McPherson,  McNeill, P.C.,  a law  firm of  which Mr.  McPherson,  a
director  of the Company, is Senior Lawyer and Chairman, provides legal services
to the Company, primarily relating to litigation involving the Company's  former
distributor  in Louisiana.  As of  December 31, 1994  and 1995,  the Company was
indebted to the firm for approximately $200,000 and $480,000, respectively,  for
legal  services rendered.  During the  years ended  December 31,  1993, 1994 and
1995, Waters, McPherson,  McNeill, P.C.  billed the  Company approximately  $1.0
million,  $1.3  million  and  $1.5  million,  respectively,  for  legal services
provided to the Company.
 
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
    Until  February  28,  1994  the   Company  participated  in  BEC's   defined
contribution  plans  which covered  certain full-time  employees and  which were
considered part of the Company's overall retirement program. Effective March  1,
1994,  the Company ceased its participation  in BEC's defined contribution plans
and formed  its own  plan. This  program consists  of a  savings plan  to  which
employees   may  contribute   a  percentage  of   their  compensation.  Employee
contributions to the savings plan, up to  certain limits, may be matched by  the
Company.  The Company's contribution accrued for  the savings plan for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and  1995 was approximately $91,000, $120,000  and
$140,000, respectively.
 
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    The  Company is obligated  under several patent  agreements to pay royalties
ranging from approximately $50 to $200  per game depending on the components  in
the  gaming  machines.  Additionally, based  on  an amendment  to  the trademark
licensing agreement  between the  Company  and BEC  dated  March 31,  1995,  the
Company  is obligated to  pay a royalty on  new machines sold of  $25 to $30 per
machine beginning on  March 31, 1995  with a minimum  annual royalty payment  of
$500,000  for  the initial  five-year term  of the  amended agreement,  which is
subject to  annual renewals  thereafter.  Royalty expense  for the  years  ended
December  31,  1993, 1994  and  1995 was  $1.1  million, $2.9  million  and $3.0
million, respectively.

    In  conjunction with  sales by  Gaming, with  recourse to  Gaming and/or the
Company, of  certain  trade receivables  to  third parties,  Gaming  and/or  the
Company  have  guaranteed amounts  due from  various customers  of approximately
$18.2 million at December 31, 1995. A charge was recognized as a result of these
sales of receivables  which aggregated approximately  $.5 million, $1.0  million
and  $.1 million during 1993,  1994 and 1995, respectively.  It is possible that
one or more of Gaming's customers whose obligation has been guaranteed by Gaming
may be unable  to make  payments as  such become due.  In this  case Gaming  may
become  responsible for repayment of at least a portion of such amounts over the
term of the  receivables. At December  31, 1995, amounts  due from one  customer
under  three contracts totaling $3.5 million were past due and these amounts and
subsequent installments have not been paid. In general, under the terms of these
contracts,  the  Company  may  be  responsible  for  monthly  payments  of   the
outstanding  obligations. The third party holder  of these contracts has not yet
asserted demands under these  contracts although such  demands may be  imminent.
The  Company  intends to  pursue a  restructuring of  the contracts  although no
assurance  can  be  given  that  such  a  restructuring  would  be  successfully
negotiated.  The outcome  of this  issue is not  anticipated to  have a material
effect on the  financial position, results  of operations or  cash flows of  the
Company.  A provision  for doubtful accounts  of approximately  $3.5 million and
$6.3 million  on all  receivables with  recourse is  included in  the  Company's
allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
    On  or about June 19, 1995, three  purported class actions were filed in the
Chancery Court of Delaware by Company's stockholders against the Company and its
directors (the "Fiorella, Cignetti and Neuman Actions"). The Fiorella and Neuman
Actions, in  identical  complaints  alleged that  the  Company's  directors  had
breached  their fiduciary duties of good faith, fair dealing, loyalty and candor
by approving  the  Merger Agreement  with  WMS  ("WMS Merger")  instead  of  the
unsolicited tender offer transaction proposed by Alliance ("Alliance Proposal"),
by  not  properly exposing  the Company  for sale,  and by  failing to  take all
reasonable steps to maximize stockholder value. These actions sought injunctions
to prevent the  Company from proceeding  with, consummating or  closing the  WMS
Merger,  and to  rescind it  should it be  consummated, as  well as compensatory
damages. The Cignetti  Action made  similar allegations, and  also alleged  that
 
                                      F-48
<PAGE>
                        BALLY GAMING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
the  Company had in place a shareholders' right plan, commonly know as a "poison
pill." The  Cignetti  Action  sought  an injunction  requiring  the  Company  to
negotiate  with all bona fide parties or other potential acquirees or to conduct
an unencumbered market check in a manner designed to maximize shareholder value,
and preventing  the  Company from  implementing  any unlawful  barriers  to  the
acquisition of the Company by any third party or taking other actions that would
lessen  its attractiveness as an acquisition candidate. The Cignetti Action also
specifically requested an injunction barring triggering of the Company's alleged
"poison pill"  until  full consideration  was  given to  the  Alliance  Proposal
(subsequently   superseded  by  the  execution  of  the  Merger  Agreement  with
Alliance), and sought compensatory damages.
 
    Also on or about June  19, 1995, a purported class  action was filed in  the
Delaware  Court of Chancery by a Company stockholder against the Company and its
directors and Alliance (the "Strougo  Action"). The Strougo Action alleged  that
the  Alliance Proposal (subsequently superseded by the execution of the Alliance
Merger Agreement)  to acquire  the Company  stock was  at a  grossly unfair  and
inadequate  price;  that the  Company's directors  had breached  their fiduciary
duties by failing  seriously to  consider potential purchasers  for the  Company
other than Alliance; and that the transaction proposed by Alliance was wrongful,
unfair  and harmful  to the  Company's public  stockholders. The  Strougo Action
sought a declaration  that defendants  had breached their  fiduciary duties;  an
injunction  preventing the consummation of the Alliance transaction or requiring
its  rescission;  an  order  requiring  defendants  to  permit  a  stockholders'
committee  to participate in any process  undertaken in connection with the sale
of the Company; and compensatory damages.
 
    On or about July 6, 1995,  the plaintiffs in the Fiorella, Cignetti,  Neuman
Actions  and  the Strougo  Action  (collectively, the  "Stockholder Plaintiffs")
filed with the Court a motion to consolidate the four actions.
 
    On or about July  27, 1995, certain of  the Stockholder Plaintiffs filed  an
amended   complaint  (the  "Amended  Fiorella   Action")  that  adopted  certain
allegations concerning  self-dealing by  the Company's  directors in  connection
with  the WMS Merger; added a claim relating to the Company's alleged failure to
hold an  annual meeting  as required  and added  WMS as  defendant. The  Amended
Fiorella Action also alleged that the Company intended, in violation of Delaware
law,  to sell Wulff without first seeking  stockholder approval of the sale. The
action sought an order enjoining  defendants from proceeding with,  consummating
or closing the WMS Merger, or rescinding it if it closed; preventing the sale of
Wulff  without  prior  stockholder  approval;  declaring  invalid  the Company's
agreement to pay WMS  a fee if the  WMS Merger is terminated  by the Company  in
certain circumstances; compelling an auction of the Company and the provision of
due  diligence  to  Alliance; scheduling  an  immediate meeting  of  the Company
stockholders; and  awarding compensatory  damages.  The Company  believes  these
lawsuits to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend these actions.
 
    On  October 23, 1995, WMS instituted a  suit in New York State Court against
the Company for the  Company's failure to pay  $4.8 million upon termination  of
the  WMS  Merger. The  Company believes  this  lawsuit to  be without  merit and
intends to vigorously  defend this  action. On  November 22,  1995, the  Company
answered  the complaint and brought counterclaims  against WMS alleging that WMS
repudiated and breached the WMS Merger by, among other things, failing to act in
good faith toward the consummation of the WMS Merger, advising the Company  that
it  would  not perform  as agreed  but would  impose new  conditions on  the WMS
Merger, acting in  excess of its  authority and undermining  the ability of  the
Company  to perform the  WMS Merger. On  February 8, 1996  WMS moved for summary
judgement. The Company's response to that  action is presently due on March  15,
1996.  Pursuant to  the Merger Agreement,  Alliance has agreed  to indemnify the
directors and officers of the Company in certain circumstances.
 
    In June 1995,  BEC asserted  that a certain  agreement between  BEC and  the
Company  (the "Non-compete Agreement")  prohibits the use by  the Company of the
tradename "Bally" if it is merged with a company that is in the casino  business
within  or without the United States and operates such business prior to January
8, 1999. The Company believes such a  claim is entirely without merit since  the
restriction referred
 
                                      F-49
<PAGE>
                        BALLY GAMING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
to expired on January 8, 1996 and in any event does not relate to the use of the
"Bally" tradename, which is covered by the License Agreement. The restriction in
the Non-compete Agreement will not have any impact on the combined company after
the  Merger  since the  effective  time of  the  Alliance Merger  contemplates a
closing of  the  Alliance  Merger  after  the  restriction  in  the  Non-compete
Agreement  lapses. BEC has not reasserted this position since it was informed by
the Company  in  July 1995  that  the restriction  lapses  on January  8,  1996.
Consequently,  the  Company  believes  BEC has  determined  not  to  contest the
Company's position.
 
    On February 16, 1996, the Company received notice from BEC alleging that the
Company has violated the License Agreement  by, among other things, granting  to
Marine  Midland  Business  Loans,  Inc.  ("Marine  Midland"),  the  lender which
provides Bally Gaming, Inc.'s revolving line  of credit, a security interest  in
general  intangibles. In such  notice, BEC also  stated that as  a result of the
foregoing, it was  immediately terminating  the License  Agreement. The  Company
does not believe that it has violated the terms of the License Agreement and the
Company will defend its position against BEC's claims.
 
    BEC has also asserted that its permission is required for use of the "Bally"
tradename  by any entity  other than the  Company and that  a merger between the
Company and another company  would violate the terms  of the License  Agreement.
The  Company has denied these claims and  believes that the surviving company in
the Alliance Merger will be permitted to use the "Bally" tradename in accordance
with the terms of such License Agreement. The Company believes that no breach of
such License Agreement is caused by the  Alliance Merger and use of the  "Bally"
tradename  by the surviving corporation. In a letter dated November 9, 1995, BEC
reasserted its position.  On November  20, 1995, Alliance,  the Alliance  Merger
Subsidiary  and the Company commenced an  action against BEC in Federal District
Court in Delaware seeking a declaratory  judgment, among other things, that  the
surviving  company in the Alliance  Merger will be permitted  to use the "Bally"
tradename in accordance  with the terms  of the License  Agreement, and  seeking
injunctive  relief (the "Alliance Action"). On  November 28, 1995, BEC commenced
an action against  the Company, Bally  Gaming, Inc., Alliance  and the  Alliance
Merger  Subsidiary  in  Federal  District  Court in  New  Jersey  to  enjoin the
defendants from using the "Bally" tradename  (the "BEC Action"). The BEC  Action
alleges  that the  Company's continued use  of the tradename  after the Alliance
Merger will (1) constitute  a prohibited assignment of  the Company's rights  to
use the tradename and (2) exceed the scope of the license granted to the Company
because  the Company will be under the control of Alliance. Also on November 28,
1995, BEC  filed a  motion  to dismiss,  transfer to  New  Jersey, or  stay  the
Alliance  Action pending resolution of the BEC  Action. On December 15, 1995 BEC
filed a motion to dismiss,  transfer to New Jersey  or stay the Alliance  Action
pending  resolution of the BEC Action. On  December 15, 1995, BEC filed a motion
for a preliminary  injunction in the  BEC Action.  At a hearing  on January  17,
1996,  the  court declined  to issue  a preliminary  injunction, but  held BEC's
motion in abeyance  pending the defendant's  motion to dismiss  and for  summary
judgment,  which  defendants had  filed  on December  26,  1995. After  a second
hearing on February 20, 1996 the court  stated it would attempt to rule on  both
motions  in  fourteen days.  The Company,  Bally Gaming  Inc., Alliance  and the
Alliance Merger Subsidiary intend to  vigorously defend their position in  these
actions.
 
    In  1994,  after  an  intensive  federal  investigation  of  Gaming's former
distributor, eighteen individuals were indicted  on charges of racketeering  and
fraud  against Gaming and the Louisiana  regulatory system. Among those indicted
were the  former distributor's  stockholders,  directors, employees  and  others
alleged  to be associated with organized  crime. Fifteen entered pleas of guilty
before trial and the remaining three were convicted in October 1995. Gaming  was
never a subject or target of the federal investigation.
 
    Prior  to the conclusion of the  federal case, the Company's activities with
regard to its former VLT distributor in Louisiana were the subject of  inquiries
by  gaming  regulators  and  a  report by  the  New  Jersey  Division  of Gaming
Enforcement ("DGE")  dated  August  24,  1995. The  New  Jersey  Casino  Control
Commission  ("CCC") has indicated that it may  hold a hearing on the matter, but
no date has been set at this time.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
           (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
The New Jersey report makes no  specific recommendations for action by the  CCC.
The  gaming authorities in  Ontario, Canada, who  have investigated the matters,
have issued a gaming registration to the Company's subsidiary Bally Gaming, Inc.
on February 8, 1996.
 
    The DGE's  report  is  similar in  many  respects  to one  prepared  by  the
President of the Louisiana Economic Development and Gaming Corporation ("LEDGC")
in  January  1995. Hearings  on that  report were  held in  January 1995  and on
February 7,  1995  the  Board  of  Directors of  the  LEDGC  found  all  of  the
allegations  in its President's report to be without merit and granted a license
to the Company and has announced that it will continue to monitor the  Company's
conduct  in light of any further information  disclosed as a result of the trial
of the eighteen defendants (all of whom  have now plead, or been found,  guilty)
and  other regulatory  proceedings. In November  1995, the operator  of the land
based casino  in New  Orleans  filed for  bankruptcy reorganization  and  ceased
operations.  That action  resulted in the  termination of funding  for the LEDGC
regulatory operations and, shortly thereafter, the Attorney General of Louisiana
took control  of  the agency  and  effectively closed  its  operations.  LEDGC's
President  and employees  were dismissed.  The foregoing  occurred prior  to the
completion of review of the Company's pending application.
 
    The Company believes that the information contained in the DGE's report does
not differ  in any  material respect  from the  prior report  to the  LEDGC  the
conclusions of which were found to be without merit in February 1995. An adverse
determination by a gaming regulator in any jurisdiction could result in the loss
of the Company's ability to do business in that jurisdiction. Further regulatory
scrutiny  in other  jurisdictions would be  likely to follow.  The Company would
appeal any  adverse finding,  as  was the  case  when the  Company  successfully
appealed the LEDGC President's decision in January 1995.
 
    On  September 25, 1995, the Company was named as defendant in a class action
lawsuit filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, by  Larry
Schreier   on  behalf  of  himself  and   all  others  similarly  situated  (the
"plaintiffs"). The plaintiffs filed suit  against the Company and  approximately
45  other defendants  (each a  "defendant," and  collectively the "defendants").
Each defendant is  involved in the  gaming business as  either a gaming  machine
manufacturer,  distributor, or casino operator.  The class action lawsuit arises
out of alleged fraudulent marketing and operation of casino video poker machines
and electronic slot  machines. The  plaintiffs allege that  the defendants  have
engaged  in a  course of  fraudulent and  misleading conduct  intended to induce
people in playing their gaming machines  based on a false belief concerning  how
those machines actually operate as well as the extent to which there is actually
an  opportunity  to  win on  any  given  play. The  plaintiffs  allege  that the
defendants' actions  constitute  violations  of  the  Racketeer  Influenced  and
Corrupt  Organizations Act ("RICO") and give rise  to claims of common law fraud
and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages in excess  of
one  billion dollars,  and are  asking that any  damage awards  be trebled under
applicable federal  law. The  Company  believes the  plaintiffs' lawsuit  to  be
without merit and intends to vigorously defend these actions.
 
    While  the ultimate results of the matters described above are not presently
known, management does not expect that the results will have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
 
    The  Company and  its subsidiaries  are from  time to  time also  subject to
litigation incidental to  the conduct  of their business.  The Company  believes
that the results of such litigation and other pending legal proceedings will not
have  a material adverse effect on  the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
    The  financial  instruments   that  potentially  subject   the  Company   to
concentrations  of  credit  risk  consist  principally  of  accounts  and  notes
receivable and customer obligations guaranteed by the Company.

customers which are  guaranteed by  the Company, by  region as  a percentage  to
total net receivables are as follows:

    Gaming's  receivables and  customer obligations guaranteed  by Gaming and/or
the Company,  from  riverboat  casinos  and casinos  on  Indian  land  generally
represent  sales to recently opened casinos and, in many cases, new customers to
Gaming. Approximately  43% of  the accounts  and notes  receivable and  customer
obligations  guaranteed  by the  Company at  December 31,  1995 relate  to these
emerging markets including  approximately 25%  to three  customers operating  in
Mississippi. Receivables and customer obligations guaranteed by the Company from
emerging market customers contain increased risk factors compared to receivables
at Wulff or other traditional markets for Gaming.
 
    In  early 1995, the Governor of the State of New Mexico signed compacts with
certain Indian tribes  to permit casino  gaming on tribal  lands in New  Mexico.
These  compacts went through appropriate federal approval processes and a number
of casinos began operating. In July 1995  the Supreme Court of New Mexico  found
that the Governor did not have proper authority to sign the compacts. The Indian
tribes  have filed a lawsuit in federal  court to seek resolution to this issue.
Gaming and Systems had sold product to  the Indian tribes prior to this  ruling.
At  December  31, 1995,  the  Company has  $5.5  million in  accounts  and notes
receivable from  an operator  of two  casinos for  two different  Indian  tribes
including  $2.1 million of trade receivables sold to a third party with recourse
to Gaming.  This  operator  is  currently four  months  ahead  on  payments.  No
provision  for  doubtful accounts  for this  customer has  been included  in the
accompanying financial statements at December 31, 1995. Management believes  the
receivable is properly valued at December 31, 1995. As events change during 1996
management will reevaluate its estimate of the realizability of the receivable.
 
CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    The  following consolidating  financial statements are  presented to provide
information regarding Bally  Gaming, Inc.,  as guarantor of  the Senior  Secured
Notes,  and Bally Wulff  Automaten GmbH and Bally  Wulff Vertriebs GmbH, because
substantially all of the common stock of these entities is pledged as collateral
for the Senior  Secured Notes. The  results herein are  presented by each  legal
entity rather than by business segment as presented elsewhere in these financial
statements  and Management's Discussion and  Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations. Such business segment information of Bally Gaming,  Inc.,
Automaten  and Vertriebs includes  an allocation of  parent company revenues and
expenses whereas the following consolidating financial statements do not reflect
these allocations  to the  subsidiaries. The  notes to  consolidating  financial
statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto.

UNUSUAL CHARGES
 
    During the  year ended  December 31,  1995, Parent  and Bally  Gaming,  Inc.
incurred  approximately $3.9  million and  $.1 million,  respectively, in legal,
accounting, investment banking, public and investor relations and printing costs
in connection with  the merger agreement  with WMS Industries,  Inc., which  has
since  been terminated, Alliance's tender offer and consent solicitation and the
pending Alliance Merger. All of these costs have been expensed as incurred. Such
costs will continue to be incurred in 1996.
 
    During the fourth quarter of 1995, Vertriebs recorded a non-recurring charge
of $.8 million to writedown to net  realizable value a building to be sold.  The
provision  was based  on a  strategic decision to  sell the  building as Wulff's
other distribution offices adequately covered  the geographic region that  would
have been served by this facility.
 
    During  1995, Wulff increased the amount of value added tax reserves by $1.0
million as a result of developments to  date in an ongoing quadrennial audit  of
Wulff's  tax returns for the years 1988  through 1991. While no written claim or
assessment has  been issued,  the German  tax authorities  have orally  proposed
preliminary  adjustments which range from $1.4  million (which has been accrued)
to $5.0 million.  The Company  has accrued the  liability as,  based on  current
developments,  the Company's estimate of the ultimate outcome and its experience
in contesting these matters, it is  probable that a liability has been  incurred
and  a range of costs can be reasonably estimated. As the scope of the liability
is better determined,  there could be  changes in the  estimate of the  ultimate
liability.  Management believes  that the  preliminary proposed  adjustments are
without merit and the  ultimate results of  the audit will  not have a  material
adverse  effect on  the Company's financial  position, results  of operations or
cash flows.

B (the "Preferred Stock") offered hereby are being offered (together with up  to
    additional  shares subject to an over-allotment option, the "Preferred Stock
Offering") by Alliance  Gaming Corporation  ("Alliance"). The  shares are  being
issued  as part of the financing of  the merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Alliance with and into Bally Gaming International, Inc.  ("BGII"),
pursuant  to which BGII  will become a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Alliance. See
"The Merger and Related Financings" and "Use of Proceeds."

previously agreed to issue  $5,000,000 of its Common  Stock to an  institutional
investor  in reliance on an exemption  from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Securities Act"), which issuance  (the
"Private  Placement") will close simultaneously with  and be contingent upon the
consummation of  the Merger  and the  Offerings. Consummation  of the  Preferred
Stock  Offering is subject to the consummation of the Common Stock Offering, the
Note Offering and the Private Placement and is also contingent upon consummation
of the Merger.
    The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company at any  time,
in whole or in part, at a price per share equal to $100, plus an amount equal to
all  accrued  and unpaid  dividends  and distributions  thereon  to the  date of
redemption. In  addition, the  Company  is required  to redeem  all  outstanding
shares  of Preferred Stock  by              , 2004 at  such price. Dividends are
cumulative are will accrue from and after  the date of initial issuance and  are
payable semi-annually in cash in an amount per share equal to $7.50, except that
the  Company may pay such dividends in  additional shares of Preferred Stock (or
fractions thereof) until             , 2003,  provided, that the portion of  any
dividends  payable in shares of Preferred Stock after             , 2001 will be
limited to $4.00 per share. See "Description of Capital Stock-- Special Stock."
    The Company has applied to list  the Preferred Stock on the NASDAQ  National
Market System.

                                         date  of initial issuance in an amount equal to the
                                         Liquidation Value  plus  an  amount  equal  to  all
                                         accrued  and unpaid dividends and distributions. If
                                         Alliance fails to redeem such shares by that  date,
                                         then the number of directors constituting the Board
                                         of  Directors of Alliance will be increased by two,
                                         and not  more  than two,  and  the holders  of  the
                                         shares of Preferred Stock will have the right until
                                         all  such shares are redeemed, voting separately as
                                         a class, to  elect two  directors to  the Board  of
                                         Directors.  If  Alliance  fails to  redeem  all the
                                         shares of Preferred Stock  by such date,  dividends
                                         on  such securities  will continue  to accrue until
                                         the date  of redemption  and no  dividend or  other
                                         distribution  can be paid to  holders of any equity
                                         security ranking junior to  or pari passu with  the
                                         Preferred  Stock and no shares of such junior stock
                                         can be purchased or redeemed by Alliance until  the
                                         date  of redemption.  In no  event will  holders of
                                         Preferred Stock be entitled to elect more than  two
                                         directors in total.
Voting Rights..........................  Upon  default in the payment of dividends for three
                                         consecutive dividend payment  dates, the number  of
                                         directors  constituting the Board of Directors will
                                         be increased by two, and not more than two, and the
                                         holders of the shares of Preferred Stock will  have
                                         the  right, voting separately as  a class, to elect
                                         two directors to the Board of

                                         Directors.  Such   right  will   exist  until   all
                                         dividends accumulated on such shares have been paid
                                         or  set apart for payment in full. In no event will
                                         the holders of  Preferred Stock have  the right  to
                                         elect more than two directors in the aggregate.
Ranking................................  Upon   liquidation,  the   holders  of   shares  of
                                         Preferred Stock  are  entitled  (subject  to  prior
                                         preferences  and other rights  of any senior equity
                                         securities and in proportion  to any parity  stock)
                                         to be paid in cash out of the assets of Alliance an
                                         amount  equal  to  the  Liquidation  Value  plus an
                                         amount equal to  all accrued  and unpaid  dividends
                                         and   distributions.   Immediately   following  the
                                         Merger, no  equity security  will be  senior to  or
                                         pari  passu with  the Preferred Stock  and only the
                                         Common Stock will be junior to the Preferred Stock.
NASDAQ Quotation.......................  Alliance has applied  to have  the Preferred  Stock
                                         quoted on the NASDAQ NMS under the symbol "ALLYP".
Use of Proceeds........................  The  proceeds  of the  Preferred Stock  Offering of
                                         $15.0 million, together  with the  proceeds of  the
                                         Common   Stock  Offering  of   $60.0  million,  the

PREFERRED STOCK
 
    The  Preferred Stock dividend may be paid in  kind in whole or in part until
after the seventh anniversary of the  Effective Time (as defined herein) of  the
Merger.  The Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable on the eighth anniversary
of the  Effective  Time;  however,  if  the  Company  fails  to  so  redeem  all
outstanding  shares of the Preferred Stock by such date, the remedies of holders
are limited to the right to elect  two directors to the Board of Directors,  and
to  prohibit the payment of dividends or other distributions on, or the purchase
or redemption of, any other stock of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred
Stock. Although the Company intends to apply to have the Preferred Stock  quoted
on  NASDAQ NMS, there is no assurance  that this will occur, the Preferred Stock
has no existing trading market and there can  be no assurance as to the type  of
trading  market that will develop.  The Preferred Stock will  be callable at any
time at the Company's option at the liquidation value of $100 per share plus all
accrued and unpaid  dividends and  distributions. The Preferred  Stock does  not
limit  the Company's right to issue other  series of special stock ranking prior
to or  on a  parity with  the  Preferred Stock  as to  receipt of  dividends  or
distributions. Furthermore, while fractional shares of such Preferred Stock will
be  issued in connection with the Merger, holders of such fractional shares will
not be able to  trade such fractional  shares on NASDAQ  NMS. These factors  may
adversely affect the market price and marketability of the Preferred Stock.

                    MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
    The   following  is  a  description  of  the  material  Federal  income  tax
consequences to the  holders of  Preferred Stock.  The description  is based  on
currently  existing provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), Treasury  Regulations thereunder,  current administrative  rulings
and  court  decisions,  all  of  which are  subject  to  change  (possibly  on a
retroactive basis) and any such change  could affect the continuing validity  of
this  description. The Federal income tax description set forth below may not be
applicable to  certain  classes  of taxpayers,  including  insurance  companies,
securities  dealers,  financial institutions,  foreign  persons, and  persons in
special situations. Holders of  Preferred Stock are urged  to consult their  tax
advisors   as  to  their  respective   personal  tax  situations  including  the
applicability and effect of state, local and other tax laws.
 
    Holders of Preferred Stock will  recognize ordinary income upon the  payment
of  a dividend (to the  extent of the Company's  current or accumulated earnings
and profits) of additional  shares of Preferred Stock  equal to the fair  market
value  of  such  additional shares.  The  fair  market value  of  each  share of
Preferred Stock paid as a dividend will  equal the mean between the highest  and
lowest  quoted  selling prices  of Preferred  Stock  on the  date of  payment. A
distribution in excess  of the  Company's current and  accumulated earnings  and
profits  will be a  tax free return of  capital to the extent  of a holder's tax
basis in the  Preferred Stock, and  thereafter, capital gain.  The capital  gain
will  be long-term if, as of the date of  payment, the shares had been held by a
holder of the Preferred Stock for more than one year, and will be short-term if,
as of the date  of payment, the shares  had been held by  a holder of  Preferred
Stock  for one  year or less.  Short-term capital  gain is subject  to a maximum
marginal Federal income tax  rate of 39.6%.  For individuals, long-term  capital
gain  is currently subject to a maximum marginal Federal income tax rate of 28%.
The current  maximum  long-term  capital  gain rate  for  corporations  is  35%.
Legislation  passed  by  the Congress  and  vetoed  by the  President  would, if
eventually enacted, reduce the individual long-term  capital gain tax rate to  a
maximum  of  19.8%.  The  proposed effective  date  of  the  pending legislation
precedes the expected Effective Time.
 
    THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX  DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE  IS INCLUDED FOR  GENERAL
INFORMATION  ONLY. EACH  STOCKHOLDER IS  URGED TO  CONSULT HIS,  HER OR  ITS TAX
ADVISOR WITH RESPECT  TO THE  TAX CONSEQUENCES TO  THE HOLDER  OF THE  PREFERRED
STOCK INCLUDING FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES.

    The Underwriting  Agreement provides  that the  obligations of  the  several
Underwriters  to pay for  and accept delivery  of the shares  of Preferred Stock
offered hereby are subject to approval  of certain legal matters by counsel  and
to  certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for
all the shares of Preferred Stock offered hereby (other than in connection  with
the over-allotment option described below) if any are taken.
 
    The  Representatives have advised the  Company that the Underwriters propose
to offer the shares of Preferred Stock  directly to the public initially at  the
public  offering price  set forth on  the cover  page of this  Prospectus and to
certain dealers at such price less  a concession not in excess  $    per  share.
Any  Underwriter may  allow, and  such dealers  may reallow,  a discount  not in
excess of $    per share to any other Underwriter and to certain other  dealers.
After  the initial public offering of the  shares of Preferred Stock, the public
offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representatives.
 
    Pursuant to  the Underwriting  Agreement,  the Company  has granted  to  the
Underwriters  an  option,  exercisable for  30  days  from the  date  hereof, to
purchase up  to an  additional       shares  of Preferred  Stock at  the  public
offering  price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the
cover page  hereof.  The  Underwriters  may exercise  such  option  to  purchase
additional  shares solely for  the purpose of  covering over-allotments, if any,
made in  connection with  the sale  of  the shares  of Preferred  Stock  offered
hereby.  To the extent such over-allotment option is exercised, each Underwriter
will become  obligated, subject  to  certain conditions,  to purchase  the  same
percentage  of  such additional  shares as  the  number set  forth next  to such
Underwriter's name in the  preceding table bears to  the total number of  shares
set forth on the cover page hereof.
 
    Alliance  and  its subsidiaries  have agreed  to indemnify  the Underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities  under the Securities Act  or
to  contribute to payments the  Underwriters may be required  to make in respect
thereof.
 
    Prior to the Preferred Stock Offering,  there has been no public market  for
the  Preferred  Stock.  The initial  public  offering  price is  based  upon the
liquidation value granted each  share of Preferred  Stock. Although the  Company
intends  to apply to have the Preferred Stock quoted on NASDAQ NMS, there can be
no assurance as to  the type of trading  market that will develop.  Furthermore,
while  fractional shares  of such Preferred  Stock will be  issued in connection
with the Merger, holders  of such fractional  shares will not  be able to  trade
such  fractional shares  on NASDAQ NMS.  These factors may  adversely affect the
market price and marketability of the Preferred Stock.
 
    The Offering  is  being  made  pursuant to  the  provisions  of  Schedule  E
("Schedule  E") to the Bylaws of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD") because Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
 
                                      A-7
<PAGE>
Securities Corporation  beneficially owns  more than  10% of  the Common  Stock.
Accordingly,  Donaldson, Lufkin  & Jenrette  Securities Corporation  must comply
with the requirements set forth in 3(c) of Schedule E to the NASD By-laws, which
provides generally that,  if an  underwriter owns more  than 10%  of the  common
stock  of an issuer, the price at which such securities are to be distributed to
the public  must be  established by  a "qualified  independent underwriter,"  as
defined  in Section 2(o) of Schedule E,  who must participate in the preparation
of the registration statement and the prospectus and who must exercise the usual
standards of  due  diligence  with  respect thereto.  In  accordance  with  such
requirements,  Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc. has agreed to act as the qualified
independent underwriter  in connection  with  the Offering,  for which  it  will
receive  customary fees. Ladenburg, Thalmann &  Co. Inc. has participated in the
preparation of  this Prospectus  and the  Registration Statement  of which  this
Prospectus  forms a part and  has exercised the usual  standard of due diligence
with respect  thereto. Pursuant  to  the terms  of the  Underwriting  Agreement,
Alliance  has agreed to indemnify Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc. against certain
liabilities in connection  with its role  as qualified independent  underwriter,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
    From  time  to  time,  each  of  Donaldson,  Lufkin  &  Jenrette  Securities
Corporation and Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. Inc. has acted, and may in the  future
act,  as  financial advisor  to Alliance  and  its affiliates  and BGII  and its
affiliates, including with respect to the  Merger for which they have  received,
and  may in  the future  receive, customary  fees. The  Representatives are also
acting as underwriters for the Note Offering and Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co.  Inc.
and  Jefferies & Company, Inc.  are acting as underwriters  for the Common Stock
Offering. Alliance has  agreed to  pay Donaldson, Lufkin  & Jenrette  Securities
Corporation  customary  fees  (plus  reimbursement  of  reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses) for advisory services rendered in  connection with the Merger and  the
negotiation of certain documents. In addition, BGII has agreed to pay Ladenburg,
Thalmann   &  Co.  Inc.   customary  fees  (plus   reimbursement  of  reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses) for  advisory services rendered  in connection with  the
Merger and related transactions.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    Article VI of the Company's  Articles of Incorporation limits the  liability
of  the Company's directors and officers. It provides that a director or officer
of the Company will not be personally liable to the Company or its  stockholders
for  monetary damages  for breach  of fiduciary duty  as a  director or officer,
except for  liability  (i)  for  acts or  omissions  which  involve  intentional
misconduct,  fraud or  a knowing  violation of  law or  (ii) for  the payment of
dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada General Corporation  Law.
It  also provides that any repeal or  modification of the foregoing provision of
the stockholders of the Company will be prospective only, and will not adversely
affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of  the
Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
 
    Section 78.300 of the Nevada General Corporation Law provides:
 
        1.   The directors  of a corporation  shall not make  dividends or other
    distributions to stockholders except as provided by such section.
 
        2.   In  case of  any  willful or  grossly  negligent violation  of  the
    provisions  of such  section, the  directors under  whose administration the
    violation occurred, except those who caused their dissent to be entered upon
    the minutes of the  meeting of the  directors at the time,  or who not  then
    being present caused their dissent to be entered on learning of such action,
    are  jointly and  severally liable,  at any time  within 3  years after each
    violation, to  the corporation,  and, in  the event  of its  dissolution  or
    insolvency,  to its creditors at the time  of the violation, or any of them,
    to the  lesser of  the full  amount  of the  dividend made  or of  any  loss
    sustained by the corporation by reason of the dividend or other distribution
    to stockholders.
 
    However,  Section 78.751 of  the Nevada General  Corporation Law permits the
Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers as follows:
 
        1.  A corporation may indemnify any person  who was or is a party or  is
    threatened  to  be made  a  party to  any  threatened, pending  or completed
    action, suit  or  proceeding,  whether civil,  criminal,  administrative  or
    investigative,  except any action by or in  the right of the corporation, by
    reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or  agent
    of  the corporation, or is or was  serving at the request of the corporation
    as  a  director,  officer,  employee   or  agent  of  another   corporation,
    partnership,  joint venture,  trust or  other enterprise,  against expenses,
    including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines  and amounts paid in  settlement
    actually  and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit
    or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he  reasonably
    believed to be in or not
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
    opposed  to the best interests of the  corporation, and, with respect to any
    criminal action  or  proceeding, has  no  reasonable cause  to  believe  his
    conduct  was unlawful. The termination of  any action, suit or proceeding by
    judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or  upon a plea of nolo  contendere
    or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person
    did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be
    in  or not opposed to the best  interests of the corporation, and that, with
    respect to any  criminal action or  proceeding, he had  reasonable cause  to
    believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
        2.   A corporation may indemnify any person  who was or is a party or is
    threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
    or suit by or in the right of  the corporation to procure a judgment in  its
    favor  by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee
    or agent of  the corporation, or  is or was  serving at the  request of  the
    corporation   as  a  director,   officer,  employee  or   agent  of  another
    corporation, partnership, joint venture,  trust or other enterprise  against
    expenses,  including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually
    and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or  settlement
    of  the action or suit  if he acted in  good faith and in  a manner which he
    reasonably believed to be  in or not  opposed to the  best interests of  the
    corporation.  Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter
    as to  which  such a  person  has been  adjudged  by a  court  of  competent
    jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the
    corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and
    only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or
    other  court of competent jurisdiction determines, upon application, that in
    view of  all  the  circumstances of  the  case,  the person  is  fairly  and
    reasonably  entitled  to  indemnity for  such  expenses as  the  court deems
    proper.
 
        3.  To  the extent  that a  director, officer,  employee or  agent of  a
    corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
    action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense
    of  any  claim,  issue or  matter  herein,  he must  be  indemnified  by the
    corporation  against  expenses,  including  attorneys'  fees,  actually  and
    reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
 
        4.   Any indemnification under subsections 1  and 2, unless offered by a
    court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the  corporation
    only   as  authorized  in  the  specific  case  upon  a  determination  that
    indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
    circumstances. The determination must be made:
 
               (a) By the stockholders;
 
               (b) By  the board  of  directors by  majority  vote of  a  quorum
           consisting  of directors  who were  not parties  to the  act, suit or
           proceeding;
 
               (c) If a majority  vote of a quorum  consisting of directors  who
           were  not  parties  to the  act,  suit  or proceeding  so  orders, by
           independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
 
               (d) If a  quorum of directors  who were not  parties to the  act,
           suit  or  proceeding so  orders, by  independent  legal counsel  in a
           written opinion.
 
        5.  The articles  of incorporation, the bylaws  or an agreement made  by
    the  corporation may  provide that  the expenses  of officers  and directors
    incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be
    paid by the corporation  as they are  incurred and in  advance of the  final
    disposition   of  the  action,  suit  or  proceeding,  upon  receipt  of  an
    undertaking by or on behalf of the  director or officer to repay the  amount
    if  it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he
    is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this
    subsection do not  affect any  rights to  advancement of  expenses to  which
    corporate  personnel other than directors or  officers may be entitled under
    any contract or otherwise by law.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (a) For purposes of  determining any liability under  the Securities Act  of
       1933,  the information omitted from the  form of prospectus filed as part
       of this Registration Statement in  reliance upon Rule 430A and  contained
       in  a  form  of  prospectus  filed by  the  Registrant  pursuant  to Rule
       424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act will be deemed to  be
       part  of  this Registration  Statement  as of  the  time it  was declared
       effective.
 
    (b) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
       1933, each post-effective  amendment that contains  a form of  prospectus
       shall  be  deemed to  be  a new  registration  statement relating  to the
       securities offered therein, and the  offering of such securities at  that
       time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
    Insofar  as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to  directors, officers and controlling persons of  the
Registrant  pursuant to  the provisions  set forth  in response  to Item  15, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy  as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for  indemnification against  such liabilities  (other than  the payment  by the
Registrant of expenses incurred  or paid by a  director, officer or  controlling
person  of  the Registrant  in the  successful  defense of  any action,  suit or
proceeding) is  asserted by  such  director, officer  or controlling  person  in
connection  with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to  a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
