                         PROXY STATEMENT
                        __________________


Purpose.

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Bingo & Gaming International, Inc., an
Oklahoma corporation (the "Company"), to be voted at the annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company (the "Meeting").  The Meeting is to be held at
LaQuinta Inn & Suites, 11901 N. Mo-Pac Expressway, Austin, Texas, on
Wednesday, September 24, 1997, at 10:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time.  The
accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Annual Report to
Security Holders, this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy are first being
mailed to stockholders on or about September 5, 1997.

     The cost of preparing, printing and mailing each of these documents and
of the solicitation of proxies by the Company will be borne by the Company. 
Solicitation will be made by mail.  The Company will request brokers,
custodians, nominees and other like parties to forward copies of proxy
materials to beneficial owners of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock
(the "Common Stock") and will reimburse such parties for their reasonable and
customary charges or expenses in this regard.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares.

     The Board of Directors has fixed September 2, 1997, as the record date
for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to notice of and to
vote at the Meeting.  At the close of business on that date there were
8,418,602 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.  Holders of
Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share held and are not entitled
to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Proxies and Revocability of Proxies.

     The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors for use
at the Meeting and any adjournments thereof and will not be voted at any other
meeting.  All proxies that are properly executed, received by the Company
prior to or at the Meeting, and not properly revoked will be voted at the
Meeting or any adjournment thereof in accordance with the instructions given
therein.

     Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the
person giving it at any time before it is voted.  Proxies may be revoked by
(i) filing with the President of the Company, at or before the taking of the
vote at the Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than
the date of the proxy; (ii) duly executing a subsequent proxy relating to the
same shares and delivering it to the President of the Company before the
Meeting; or (iii) attending the Meeting and voting in person (although
attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of
a proxy).  Any written notice revoking a proxy should be sent to Bingo &
Gaming International, Inc., 11006 Metric Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78758,
Attention:  George Majewski, Secretary, or hand delivered to the Secretary, at
or before the taking of the vote at the Meeting.

Quorum and Voting.  

     The presence in person or by proxy of at least one-third (1/3) of the
total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the
Meeting is required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at
the Meeting.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered represented
at the Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum.

     The shares represented by each proxy will be voted in accordance with
the instructions given therein.  Where no instructions are indicated, the
proxy will be voted for the nominees to the Board of Directors named in this
Proxy Statement and, at the discretion of the persons named in the proxy, on
any other business that may properly come before the Meeting.

     Under applicable law and the Company's Bylaws, if a quorum is present at
the Meeting, the five nominees for election to the Board of Directors who
receive the plurality of votes cast for the election of directors by the
shares present in person or represented by proxy will be elected directors. 
Each stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock
held and will not be entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors. 
Any other matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the meeting will
be approved if a majority of votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy
vote in favor thereof.
 
               PROPOSAL 1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Board of Directors of the Company will consist of five directors,
each of whom will be elected at the Meeting to serve until his successor is
elected at the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his prior death,
resignation or termination and the qualification of his successor.  Unless
directed otherwise, proxies received from stockholders will be voted FOR
election of the following nominees:  Reid Funderburk; George Majewski; Robert
H. Hughes; R. E. Wilkin; and Rick Redmond.  Four of these nominees (all except
Mr. Redmond) presently serve on the Board of Directors of the Company.

     If any nominee is unable to stand for election, the shares represented
by all valid proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee
as the Board of Directors may recommend.  The Company is not aware of any
nominee that is or will be unable to stand for election.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" ALL OF THE NOMINEES NAMED

Bonuses and Deferred Compensation

          None other than as may be set forth in the above table.

Compensation Pursuant to Plans

          None other than as may be set forth in the above table.  The Company
has adopted an Employment Agreement with each of its executive officers,
providing for the payment of salary, plus incentive stock options and year-end
cash bonuses. As of the date of this Annual Report, no stock options or year-end
bonuses have been awarded and only the salary amounts reflected in the
Summary Compensation Table above have been paid, although the Employment
Agreements provide for higher amounts as salary.

Pension Table

          None; not applicable.

Other Compensation  

          None other than as may be set forth in the above table.

Compensation of Directors  

          No compensation was paid to non-officer directors during the year
ended December 31, 1996.  In April, 1997, Mr. Hughes was reimbursed for
expenses incurred in the amount of $200.

Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangement  

          Except as indicated below, during 1996, there were no compensatory
plans or arrangements, including payments to be received from the Company,
with respect to any person named in the Summary Compensation Table set out
above which would in any way result in payments to any such person because of
his or her resignation, retirement or other termination of such person's
employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, or any change in control of
the Company, or a change in the person's responsibilities following a change
in control of the Company.

          Messrs. Funderburk and Majewski have entered into Employment
Agreements with the Company.  These Employment Agreements provide, among other
things, for payment of all compensation due under such Agreements for a period
of one year from the date of termination of employment due to physical or
mental disability that results in the nonperformance of the employee's duties
for a period of six months in any 12 month period.

          In April 1996, an officer and director of the Company indicated an
intent to divest himself of over 1,000,000 shares of stock, thereby reducing
his holdings in the Company to less than 10% and relinquish his officer and
director's position with the Company.  In return for services rendered and
release of his employment contract, the Company issued options to purchase
225,000 shares of its common stock and transferred two management agreements
to him.

Independent Public Accountants.

     BDO Seidman LLP of Austin, Texas, audited the Company's financial
statements for the calendar year ended December 31, 1996.  No principal
accountant has been selected or is being recommended for election, approval or
ratification at the Meeting, as the Company is currently entertaining
proposals from other accounting firms for future auditing services.  If the
Board of Directors determines that such proposals provide terms that are more
favorable to the Company than the current arrangement with BDO Seidman, it is
anticipated that the Board of Directors would dismiss BDO Seidman and elect to
retain the accounting firm offering the most favorable terms to the Company. 
The Board of Directors' criteria will be to select a fully qualified
accounting firm with an SEC department that provides the best services at the
lowest cost. 

Proposals of Security Holders.

     Proposals of security holders that are intended to be presented at the
Company's next annual meeting of stockholders (to be held in 1998) must be
received by the Company for inclusion in its proxy statement and form of proxy
for that meeting not later than May 1, 1998.

                          OTHER MATTERS

     The Board of Directors of the Company is not aware of any business other
than the aforementioned matter that will be presented for consideration at the
Meeting.  If other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the
intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote thereon in
accordance with their best judgment.
