ITEM 2.  Acquisition of Assets.

         On September 6, 2000,  Autotote  Corporation (the "Company")  completed
the acquisition of Scientific Games Holdings Corp. ("Scientific Games"), a world
leading  supplier of lottery  products,  integrated  lottery systems and support
services,  and pre-paid telephone cards. The acquisition was completed through a
merger  in which  Scientific  Games  became  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the
Company,   at  a  cost  of   approximately   $308,000,000  in  aggregate  merger
consideration to Scientific Games stockholders, plus related fees and expenses.

         The Scientific  Games  acquisition and the refinancing of substantially
all  existing  debt of both the Company  and  Scientific  Games,  along with the
payment of certain related fees and expenses,  was completed with funds provided
by: (1)  proceeds  from the  issuance of  $150,000,000  principal  amount of the
Company's  12  1/2%  Senior   Subordinated   Notes  due  August  15,  2010;  (2)
$280,000,000  of term loan  borrowings  under the terms of a new  senior  credit
facility (the "New Facility");  (3) $2,987,000 of borrowings under the revolving
credit  facility of the New Facility;  (4)  $4,805,000 of cash on hand;  and (5)
$110,000,000 of gross proceeds from the sale of new convertible preferred stock,
principally to an affiliated entity of Olivetti S.p.A.

         Further  information  regarding  the  acquisition  and financing can be
