ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(a) (1) Effective June 1, 2000, Alliance Gaming Corporation (the
"Company") dismissed KPMG LLP ("KPMG"). The decision to change
accountants was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of
Directors of the Company.
The reports of KPMG on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as
of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1999, did not contain
an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods
subsequent to June 30, 1999 through June 1, 2000, there were no
disagreements between the Company and KPMG as to any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or audit scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused it to make a reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports
on the financial statements for such periods within the meaning of
Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K. During the two most recent
fiscal years and the interim periods subsequent to June 30, 1999
through June 1, 2000, there have been no reportable events (as
defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). KPMG has furnished
the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating that it
agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter is included
as an exhibit to this Report on Form 8-K.
(a) (2) The Company as of June 1, 2000 has engaged the firm of Arthur
Andersen LLP as independent accountants for the Company's fiscal year
ending June 30, 2000 to replace KPMG. The Company's Board of
Directors approved the selection of Arthur Andersen LLP as
independent accountants upon the recommendation of the Company's
Audit Committee. The Company has not consulted Arthur Andersen LLP
prior to its engagement regarding the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
financial statements or any matter that was either the subject of a
disagreement or a reportable event within the meaning of Item 304
(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
