Item 1.   Securities and Issuer.
          ----------------------

          Alfred H. Wilms (the "Reporting Person") hereby amends, supplements
and restates his Schedule 13D as previously amended, originally filed January 9,
1984, relating to the shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share ("Issuer
Common Stock"), of Alliance Gaming Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
"Issuer"), with principal executive offices at 6601 South Bermuda Rd., Las
Vegas, Nevada 89119.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
          -------------------------------------------------

          The Reporting Person's interest in shares of Issuer Common Stock was
initially acquired through Omega Enterprises, Inc. ("Omega") which filed the
original Statement on Schedule 13D on January 9, 1984. Omega acquired 4,000,000
Shares of Issuer Common Stock on November 17, 1983 for $1,200,000 in cash. This
purchase was made pursuant to an Agreement dated September 22, 1983 between the
Issuer and Omega. Such Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the original
Statement on Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person was Chairman of the Board and
Vice-President of Omega at the time of such purchase.

          On March 5, 1984, the Reporting Person purchased 76,000 shares of
Issuer Common Stock for a total consideration of $158,750. All such funds
represented personal funds of the Reporting Person.

          On April 2, 1984, the Reporting Person's holdings were reduced to
56,000 shares of Issuer Common Stock in a 1 for 5 stock split.

          Between April 3, 1984 and November 7, 1989, the Reporting Person
acquired an aggregate of 110,470 shares of Issuer Common Stock through open
market purchases and disposed of an aggregate of 8,102 shares of Issuer Common
Stock on the open market as follows:

          On December 31, 1984, the Reporting Person acquired 2,624,067 shares
of Issuer Common Stock as a result of the merger of Omega Inc. into the Issuer.

of Omega pursuant to the terms of the merger.

          On June 1, 1988, the Reporting Person acquired 499,634 shares of
Issuer Common Stock. This purchase was made pursuant to a Stock Purchase

its National Market System during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the

No. 6 to the Reporting Person's Schedule 13D. The consideration for this
purchase was the surrender and cancellation by the Reporting Person of a
promissory note payable to him by the Issuer in the principal amount of
$1,705,000. No cash funds were involved.

          On June 24, 1988, the Reporting Person acquired 450,000 shares of

Inc., a majority controlled subsidiary of the Issuer ("VSI") of up to
$6,500,000. On October 31, 1993 upon the funding of the balance of such loan to
VSI, the Reporting Person received an additional warrant (together with the
first Warrant, the "Warrants") to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 shares
of Issuer Common Stock at $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment. This loan has
been repaid in full. The Amended Warrant Agreement between the Issuer and the
Reporting Person was filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 11 to the Reporting
Person's Schedule 13D.

          On August 25, 1998, the Reporting Person acquired 2,000,000 shares of
Issuer Common Stock for $2.50 per share ($5,000,000 in the aggregate) upon
exercise of the Warrants. The funds used by the Reporting Person to make such
purchase were obtained pursuant to a bank loan from Banque Bruxelles Lambert
S.A. pursuant to a Loan Agreement between such bank and the Reporting Person.
Such loan agreement was filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 9 to the Reporting
Person's Schedule 13D.
