                         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

NOTE  1  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES
- ----------------------------------------------------------

NATURE  OF  BUSINESS  AND  BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION:
Bingo  &  Gaming  International, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 1981 and was
dormant  from  1984  to November, 1994.  In December, 1994, the Company acquired
Monitored  Investment,  Inc.,  and  Affiliates  (Monitored Investment, Inc., Red
River  Bingo,  Inc.,  Tupelo  Industries,  Inc., and Meridian Enterprises, Inc.,
hereinafter  referred  to  collectively  as "Monitored").  Monitored's principal
operations  consist  of  developing,  managing  and  operating  charity  bingo
entertainment  centers.  Monitored is a commercial lessor of bingo facilities to
charity  lessees  which  utilize  bingo  events as a means of fund raising.  The
stockholders  of  Monitored  became  the  controlling  stockholders  of  the
consolidated company in a transaction viewed as a "reverse acquisition", whereby
each  of  the corporations comprising Monitored became wholly-owned subsidiaries
of  the  Company.  As  a  result,  the  merger  was  accounted for as an "equity
restructuring"  of  Company.

In  May, 1996, the Company began distributing the Lucky Shamrock Emergency Phone
Card  Dispenser,  under  an  exclusive  agreement with Diamond Game Enterprises.
This  agreement  was  terminated by the mutual consent of the parties in October
1997.

In  October  1997, PrePaid Plus, Inc. ("PPI"), a Texas corporation, was acquired
under  the  purchase  method.  PPI  is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
PPI  was  formed  for  the  purpose  of  transacting  the prepaid telephone card
dispenser operations.  PPI began distributing and selling the Lucky Strike Phone
Card  Dispenser,  a  video  enhanced  prepaid  phone  card  dispenser,  under an
exclusive  distribution  agreement  for five years with two successive five year
options  to  renew  with  Cyberdyne  Systems,  Inc.

The  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Company and
its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and
transactions  have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.

INVENTORIES:
Inventories,  which  consist of phone cards, prepaid vending machines, and small
equipment  are  valued  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  market using the first-in,
first-out  method.

CASH  EQUIVALENTS:
Cash  equivalents  consist  primarily  of  funds  invested  in  short-term
interest-bearing  accounts.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased  with  initial  maturities  of  three  months  or  less  to  be  cash
equivalents.

ORGANIZATIONAL  COSTS  AND  INTANGIBLE  ASSETS:
Organizational  costs  and  intangible  assets  include  significant expenses of
bringing  new  locations  into operation and the cost of a noncompete agreement.
Organizational  costs are amortized over periods of not more than five years and
the  cost  of  the  noncompete  agreement  is  being  amortized over five years.

PROPERTY,  EQUIPMENT  AND  DEPRECIATION  AND  AMORTIZATION:
Property  and  equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization.  For  financial  statement purposes, depreciation and amortization
are  computed  using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the  related  assets.  Amortization  of leasehold improvements is computed using
the  straight-line  method  over the shorter of the term of the related lease or
the useful life of the leasehold improvements.  Accelerated depreciation methods
are  used  for  tax  purposes.

Maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred.  The cost of
betterments  and  renewals  are  capitalized.  Gains  or losses upon disposal of
assets  are  recognized  in  the  period  during  which  the transaction occurs.

TAXES  ON  INCOME:
The  Company  accounts  for  income taxes under the asset and liability approach
that  requires  the  recognition  of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected  future  tax  consequences  of  events that have been recognized in the
Company's  financial  statements  or  tax  returns.  In  estimating  future  tax
consequences,  the  Company generally considers all expected future events other
than  possible  enactments  of  changes  in  the tax laws or rates.  The Company
provides  a  valuation  allowance  against its deferred tax assets to the extent
that  management  estimates  that  it  is  not  "more likely than not" that such
deferred  tax  assets  will  be  realized.

REVENUE  RECOGNITION:
Phone  card  and  machine  sales  as  well  as rental income are recognized when
earned.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on periodic review
of  the  accounts.

ACCOUNTING  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 financial statements and
the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses during the reporting period.
Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.

ITEM  2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  AND  PLAN  OF  OPERATIONS.
          -------------------------------------------------------------------


     PLAN  OF  OPERATION
     -------------------

In  October  1997, the Company executed an exclusive distribution agreement with
Cyberdyne  Systems,  Inc.  to  distribute  the  Lucky  Strike Prepaid Phone Card
Dispenser.  This  agreement  provides  for  the  Company  to  have the exclusive
distribution rights for North America for five years with two five year options.
Distribution  of the Lucky Strike Prepaid Phone Cards began in October 1997, and
by  March 31, 1998, over 275 dispensers were in locations in Texas, Oklahoma and
Washington.  As of July 29, 1999, the Company has 279 dispensers in operation in
Texas,  Oklahoma,  Arizona,  California,  Illinois,  Idaho,  Connecticut,  and
Pennsylvania,  and  North  Dakota.

The  Company's  primary  focus for the next quarter is to place 46 machines that
were  relocated  out  of Oklahoma in the Texas market.  The program of upgrading
machine  locations  implemented  in  January  1999  has been successful and is a
contributing  factor  to the increase in net phone card sales for the six months
ended  June 30, 1999.   In April, the Company executed an exclusive distribution
contract  for  the  state of North Dakota, and sales of machines and phone cards
for  May  and  June  reflect  expansion  in  this  new  territory.  However, the
distributor,  with  the  consent  of  the  Company,  has  temporarily  suspended
distribution  and  purchases  of new machines awaiting the outcome of a  request
that  the  Attorney  General of North Dakota be permanently enjoined from taking
any  action  to  interfere with the operation of the phone card dispensers.  The
hearing  for  this  action  is  scheduled  for  August  24,  1999.

In  order  to  diversify  its  product  line,  the Company has secured exclusive
distribution  rights for the Cyberdyne finite pull tab dispenser for Ohio.   The
Company  is currently performing a market test on this machine and negotiating a
distribution  agreement.  The  dispensers have received a positive reaction from
charitable  gaming organizations.  In concert with the Company's plan to develop
additional  products,  the  Electrotab  pull  tab  dispenser  was  planned  for
deployment  in the Oklahoma territory earlier this year.  However, the dispenser
was  not  conducive to the unique character of the market in the native American
gaming  establishments  in  Oklahoma,  and  placements  were  never  completed.

Additional machines have been placed in Texas during this quarter and this trend
is  expected  to  continue  as  a  result of the completion of development of an
upgrade  in  the  machine  software in June.  The software decreases the current
cost  of  operation for retail locations as well as increases the convenience of
use  by  the  consumer.  The  expansion of the Texas market, focus on concluding
negotiations  to  directly  manage  and operate machines located in the Oklahoma
territory, and the development of new territories is the basis for the Company's
projection  to  achieve  record  sales  and net income for the 1999 fiscal year.
However,  the rate of growth will depend on the availability of either borrowing
or  leasing  opportunities for the Company, as well as  the number of dispensers
that  can  be  sold  to  retail  operators.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
- -----------------------

                        THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
               COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

The Company experienced an overall increase of 48%  in total revenues from sales
during the three months ended June 30, 1999, over the same period ended June 30,
1998.   Revenues  include rental income from charitable organizations that lease
the  Company's  bingo  facilities  as well as the related concession and vending
income.  In  addition,  phone card activities produced revenues from the sale of
machines  and  phone  cards  as  well  as  rental  income  from  machines.

                                        6
<PAGE>
The  major  revenue  source for the Company for the quarters ended June 30, 1999
and  1998,  is  from  the sale of phone cards.  Sales for the three months ended
June  30,  1999,  are  $1,196,416 compared to $880,327 for the comparable period
ended  June  30,  1998.  This  represents  an  increase  of  36%.  This increase
results  from  the  Company's  program  to upgrade machine locations to optimize
sales  as  well  as  the  increase  in  unit  sales  price  experienced from the
transition  to  more  machines  that  are  directly  operated  by  the  Company.

Machine  sales  became the second greatest revenue source for the Company during
the quarter ended June 30, 1999.  Sales from this source of revenue increased by
488% for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of the execution
of  new  distribution contracts for North Dakota and  Pennsylvania.  The Company
projects  that  machine  sales  will  continue  to  be  a significant portion of
revenues  for  the  remainder  of the fiscal year with expansion into additional
territories  including  California  and  Ohio.

Rental  and  concession  income from charity bingo locations has decreased by 9%
for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1999.  This  decrease is a result of recent
legislation  in  the  state  of  Mississippi  enabling  the  Mississippi  Gaming
Commission  to  restrict rents paid by charity bingo operations and is discussed
in  further  detail  in  the  six  month  comparison  following.

Cost  of  revenues represent expenses directly attributable to the operations of
the  phone  card  dispensers  and operations of the bingo facilities.  In total,
cost  of  revenues  as  a  function of total sales  has increased by 18% for the
quarter  ended  June 30, 1999 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998 and
is  comprised  primarily  of  an increase in prizes paid which is discussed more
fully  in  the  six  month  comparison.

Operating  expenses  for  the  Company consist of advertising, bad debt expense,
travel,  repairs  and maintenance, auto expense, registration fees, and business
promotion.  Operating  expenses  for  the three month period ended June 30, 1999
increased  by  152% for the comparable period ended June 30, 1998.  The increase
is  due primarily to an increase in travel related to developing new territories
accounting  for 86% of the total  increase in operating expenses.   In addition,
the  Company  experienced  an  increase  in  bad  debt  expense  related  to the
reevaluation of  the  allowance for uncollectible accounts factor from 1% of net
phone card sales to 2% of net phone card sales.  This, coupled with the increase
in  phone card sales, impacted bad debt expense as well as the increase in sales
for  this three month period.  The increase in bad debt expense accounts for 66%
of  the  total  increase  in  operating  expenses.

General and administrative expense consists of rent, director's fees, consultant
services,  director's  liability insurance, computer maintenance, legal expense,
accounting services, office supplies and depreciation.  This category of expense
decreased  by  13% for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
the  three  month  period  ended June 30, 1998 and is due to a decrease in legal
expense.

Finally,  salaries  and benefits increased by 70% for the quarter ended June 30,
1999  as  compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  This increase is related
to  pay  increases  for  employees  and  increased  costs of insurance and other
benefits  as  well  as the hiring of a Chief  Financial Officer,  two additional
full-time  technicians,  and  a  secretary.

In summary, net income before tax for the three month period ended June 30, 1999
has  decreased  by 29% as compared to the comparable period ended June 30, 1998.
This decrease is due to an increase in the cost of sales related to a transition
to  more  Company  operated machines with the offsetting benefit of allowing the
Company to collect cash more rapidly.  In addition, this reduction in net income
is the result of additional overhead incurred in connection with the significant
sales  growth  from  expansion  into  new  territories.

                         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
                COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

The  Company experienced an overall increase of 32% in total revenues from sales
during  the  six months ended June 30, 1999 over the six month period ended June
30,  1998.   Revenues  include  rental income from charitable organizations that
lease  the  Company's  bingo  facilities  as  well as the related concession and
vending  income.  In  addition,  phone card activities produce revenues from the
sale  of  machines  and  phone  cards  as  well  as  rents  from  machines.

The  major revenue source for the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and  1998,  is from the sale of phone cards.  Sales from phone cards for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999, increased by 27% over the comparable six month
period  ended June 30, 1998.  This increase in phone card sales is the result of
an  increase  of  600% in the number of machines placed in route operations that
generate  a  higher  unit  sales  price per phone card.  Additionally, the route
operated  locations  produce  a  higher  unit  sales  volume,  on  average, than
non-route  locations.  Placements  of  machines  during  1999  have  resulted in
higher  sales  volume  consistent  with the Company's program to upgrade machine
placements.

Rental and concession income from charity bingo locations decreased by 2% during
the  six  month period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of  recent legislation in
the  state of Mississippi enabling the Mississippi Gaming Commission to restrict
rents  paid by charity bingo operations.  The Company expects revenues from hall
rentals  to diminish by 34.5% in future quarters as a result of the reduction in
rents  ordered  by  the Mississippi Gaming Commission.  However, this segment of
the  Company's operations has become increasingly less significant over the last
year  as  a  result  of  increased  focus  on the prepaid phone card operations.

Machine  sales increased by 178% for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 as
a  result  of  the  execution  of  distribution  contracts for  North Dakota and
Pennsylvania.  The Company anticipates that machine sales will become the second
most  significant  revenue  source  by the end of the third quarter of this year
with  expansion  into  additional  territories  including  California  and Ohio.

Cost  of  revenues represent expenses directly attributable to the operations of
the  phone  card  dispensers  and operations of the bingo facilities.  In total,
such  cost was $1,924,280 and $1,008,867 for the six month period ended June 30,
1999  and  1998,  respectively.  Cost  of  revenue  as a function of total sales
increased by 21% for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the
same  period  in  1998.

The  components  of  cost  of revenues for the phone card segment consist of the
cost  of  phone  cards,  long  distance  and commissions, cost of machines sold,
prizes  paid, machine depreciation and machine rental.  Cost of revenues for the
phone  card  segment  of  the Company's operations totaled $1,799,302 from phone
card  and  machine  sales  of $2,542,357 for the six month period ended June 30,
1999 as compared to $844,501 from phone card and machine sales of $1,917,579 for
the  six  month  period  ended  June  30, 1998.  Cost of revenues for phone card
operations  increased  by  27% as a function of phone card and machine sales for
the  six  month  period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the comparable period
ended  June 30, 1998.  This increase is the result of an increase in prizes paid
during the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the six month period
ended  June 30, 1998.  The increase in prizes paid is the result of two factors.
First,  the  Company increased the number of  machines that it directly operates
by  650%, and prizes paid are an expense of the direct operator.  Secondly,  the
amount  of  sweepstakes  prizes  paid  was  increased to test the sensitivity of
sales  volume  to increases in the total amount of sweepstakes prizes paid.  The
result  of  these two factors accounts for the  increase in the prizes paid as a
per  cent  of  sales  during  the  six  month  period  ended  June  30,  1999.

The  components  of  cost  of  revenues for the charity bingo facilities leasing
segment  consist  of  the  rental  cost  of such facilities as well as supplies.
During  the  six  month  period  ended  June 30, 1999, the Company experienced a
decrease  as  a  percent of bingo segment revenues in hall rental and concession
expense  of  13%  as  compared  to  the  six  month  period ended June 30, 1998.

                                        8
<PAGE>
Operating  expenses  for  the  Company consist primarily of advertising, travel,
repairs  and  maintenance,  auto  expense,  registration  fees,  and  business
promotion.  Operating  expenses  for  the  six month period  ended June 30, 1999
decreased  by  9%.  This  decrease  is  the result of decreases in travel, small
tools, advertising, freight, registration fees, and a reduction in the allowance
for  uncollectible  accounts  as compared to the six month period ended June 30,
1998.

General  and  administrative  expense  consists  of  rent,  consultant services,
director's  liability insurance, computer maintenance, legal expense, accounting
services,  office  supplies  and  depreciation.  The  Company  experienced  an
increase  of  8%  in general and administrative expense for the six month period
ended  June  30,  1999  due  to  increased  costs for lobbying, development of a
database  to  facilitate  the  tracking  of  individual  machine production, and
implementation of a new computer network as well as the election by the Board of
Director's  to  begin  paying  director's  fees.

Salaries  and  benefits increased by 67% for the six month period ended June 30,
1999  as  compared  to  the  same  period ended June 30, 1998.  This increase is
related  to  pay  increases  for  employees and increased costs of insurance and
other  benefits  as  well  as  the  hiring  of  a  Chief Financial Officer,  two
additional  full-time  technicians,  and  a  secretary.

In summary, net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1999, is $138,654
as  compared  to  $484,282  for  the  comparable  period  ended  June  30, 1998,
representing  a  71%  decrease.  This decrease is a function of several factors.
First,  during  the  six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company purchased
325  machines  and  deployed  176  in  Oklahoma.  The  majority  of the Oklahoma
placements  were  in  native American charitable gaming facilities that began to
place  large  quantities  of  other  devices  offering  cash prizes in the third
quarter  of  1998. The unusual competitive environment in these facilities had a
negative  impact  on  the  sales  volume of the phone cards.  Consequently,  the
Company  began focusing on opening new territories to redeploy machines from the
Oklahoma  territory.    Second,  in  the last quarter of 1998, the Company began
placing  machines  in route operations which produce a greater unit sales price.
In  addition,  the  Company  began experimenting with increasing the sweepstakes
prizes  paid  in order to stimulate further growth in sales volume.  However, as
discussed earlier, the route or direct  operation of machines results in a lower
gross profit due to the sweepstakes prize payments that are incurred directly by
the  Company,  and  sales  volume did not increase as quickly as projected.  The
result  of  these  factors  is  that  the  Company has  accomplished the desired
increases  in  sales volume with a smaller contribution to gross profit with the
benefit  of  transitioning to a more stable operating environment by redeploying
machines  in  smaller  concentrations  into  retail  locations  that  are  more
compatible  with  the  Company's  product.  Therefore, the Company projects that
sales  growth  and  profitability  will  continue  at  the  present  rate.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

As  of  June 30, 1999, the Company's total assets were $2,084,040 as compared to
$2,192,994 for the year ended December 31, 1998.  In addition, total liabilities
at  June  30,  1999  were  $1,370,940  as compared to $1,638,544 at December 31,
1998.  Current  assets  as  of  June  30,  1999  of  $754,580 and $674,077 as of
December  31, 1998, represent 78% and 75% of current liabilities of $957,215 and
$890,772,  respectively.  The  Company's  cash  position  has  diminished  since
fiscal  year end due to the write off of obsolete inventory, returns credited to
accounts receivable recorded at fiscal year end for overcharges, and replacement
of  parts  under warranty in machines from inventory.  The Company's liabilities
at  June  30, 1999, of $1,370,940 consist of $702,495 of a fully secured capital
lease  obligations,  $445,424  of  current  liabilities  consisting  of accounts

decreased  by  $6,250  and  accounts  receivable  decreased  by $398,424 for the
comparative  quarters.   As  of  June  30,  1999,  the Company was delinquent on
$103,634 or 41 % of total accounts payable.  However, credit memos against those

The  Company  has  a  need  for  additional  working capital to meet contractual
obligations.  Management believes that revenues from the existing machines owned
by  the  Company  will be sufficient to produce the necessary working capital to
meet  its working capital requirements. However, there is no assurance that such
revenues  will  materialize.

ITEM  1.  LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS.
          -------------------

In 1998,  the  Mississippi  Gaming  Commission  rendered a decision to reject an
appraisal  on the fair  market  value  of  rents  charged  at the  Tupelo  bingo
facility.  A permanent  injunction  was obtained in Hinds County  Chancery Court
(98-CA-01198-SCT) requiring the Gaming Commission to renew the Company's license
to operate as a lessor.  The Commission was ordered to accept the two appraisals
already  submitted  and received a contempt of court  citation.  The  Commission
issued a license  renewal for the Iuka  location and appealed the  injunction on
the license renewal for the Tupelo  location.  The Court of Appeals of the State
of Mississippi ruled in favor of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, but prior to
this,  the  Mississippi  Supreme Court had ruled in favor of Tupelo  Industries.
Tupelo  Industries  has filed a motion for a  rehearing  on the Court of Appeals
ruling. In addition,  the Commission  declined to renew a third facility license
for the Meridian location, but the facility has continued to operate pending the
results  of a  hearing  whose  date  has  yet  to be  determined.  Finally,  the
Commission has denied a renewal  application  for the  charitable  lessee of the
Iuka facility.  One year passed without a hearing and a new renewal  application
was  required.  The  charitable  organization  was  granted  a 90  day  license.
Legislation  (HB977)  passed  in the  most  recent  session  of the  Mississippi
Legislature   eliminated  the  licensing  requirement  for  commercial  lessors;
thereby,  making the dispute over the licensing of the Meridian  facility a moot
point.

ITEM  5.  OTHER  INFORMATION.
          -------------------

The  Company  is  currently evaluating its computer systems to determine whether
modifications  and  expenditures will be necessary to make its systems and those
of  its  vendors compliant with year 2000 requirements.  These requirements have
arisen  due  to  the  widespread use of computer programs that rely on two-digit
date  codes  to perform computations or decision-making functions. Many of these
programs  may  fail  as  a  result of their inability to properly interpret date
codes  beginning  January 1, 2000. For example, such programs may interpret "00"
as the year 1900 rather than 2000. In addition, some equipment, being controlled
by  microprocessor  chips,  may  not  deal appropriately with the year "00". The
Company  believes  it will timely meet its year 2000 compliance requirements and
does  not  anticipate  that  the cost of compliance will have a material adverse
effect  on its business, financial condition, or results of operations. However,
there  can  be  no assurance that all necessary modifications will be identified
and  corrected  or  that  unforseen  difficulties  or  costs  will not arise. In
addition, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which
the  Company's  systems  rely  will  be  modified on a timely basis, or that the
failure  by  another  company to properly modify its systems will not negatively
impact  the  Company's  systems  or  operations.
