ITEM 1.       SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share
("Common Stock"), of Autotote Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer").  The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 750

ITEM 2.       IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of :

       (1)    Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, a California limited liability
              company ("Oaktree"), in its capacity as general partner of the
              Opportunities Fund and the Principal Opportunities Fund (see
              below);

       (2)    OCM Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the

obligations of distressed entities.  The investment strategy of the Principal
Opportunities Fund is generally to invest in entities in which there is a

Stock beneficially owned by Oaktree and the Funds may be sold.  Oaktree
currently has no agreements, beneficially or otherwise, which would be related
to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule
13D; however, as part of its ongoing review of investment alternatives, Oaktree
may consider such matters in the future and, subject to applicable law, may
formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, Oaktree
may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties
regarding such matters.
