         This Amendment No. 68 amends and supplements Amendment No. 67 to the
Schedule 13D, dated May 17, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D"), of Mr. Paul W. Lowden,
relating to the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of Santa Fe Gaming Corporation (the "Company"), a Nevada
corporation, filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of Regulation 13D of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company, formerly
known as Sahara Gaming Corporation ("Sahara Gaming"), a publicly traded
Nevada corporation, is the successor corporation of two affiliates, Sahara
Resorts ("Sahara Resorts"), a Nevada corporation, and Sahara Casino Partners.
L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, which combined in a
business combination in September 1993 (the "Reorganization").

         In September 1993, (i) the Partnership was converted into corporate
form through the merger of the Partnership with and into Sahara Gaming (the
"Partnership Merger"), as a result of which Sahara Gaming was the surviving
entity, and (ii) Sahara Resorts was merged into Sahara Merger Corp. ("Merger
Corp."), a Nevada corporation wholly-owned by Sahara Gaming, as a result of
which Sahara Resorts was the surviving corporation wholly-owned by Sahara
Gaming. At the time of the Reorganization, Sahara Resorts was the holding
company for a majority interest in the Partnership and its operations. As a
result of the Reorganization, Sahara Gaming succeeded to all of the assets
and liabilities of the Partnership and Sahara Resorts and was the successor
issuer of Sahara Resorts for purposes of Rule 414 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. In 1996, Sahara Gaming changed its name to Santa Fe Gaming
Corporation (the "Company").

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The response to Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:

         "Purchases of Common Stock described herein were made for investment
purposes only. Mr. Lowden may, from time to time, purchase additional shares
of Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

         Because of his beneficial ownership of 66.3% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company, Mr. Lowden has the power to initiate a
plan or proposal which may result in the occurrence of one or more of the
events described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D ("Item 4 Event"). While Mr. Lowden
currently has no such plans or proposals, it is conceivable that he could, in
the future, develop and implement a plan or proposal which would result in
the occurrence of one or more Item 4 Events."

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The response to Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as set forth below. Item 5(c) has been amended to reflect
additional acquisitions made by Mr. Lowden and by LICO since Mr. Lowden's
Amendment No. 67 to Schedule 13D was filed May 17, 1999 and to correct
inadvertent mistakes made in reporting Mr. Lowden's initial ownership
interest in the Company after the Reorganization and certain acquisitions and
dispositions of shares by Mr. Lowden and LICO.

         "(a) Mr. Lowden beneficially owns 4,348,069 shares of Common Stock,
or 66.3% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Of the 4,348,069
shares beneficially owned by Mr. Lowden, Mr. Lowden has the right to acquire
359,510 of the shares under stock options which have been granted to him
pursuant to the Company's employee stock option plan and which are
exercisable currently.

         (b) Mr. Lowden has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to
4,348,069 shares of Common Stock, or 66.3% of the outstanding Common Stock of
the Company.

         (c) Prior to the Reorganization, Mr. Lowden beneficially owned
approximately 73% of Sahara Resorts and less than 1% of the outstanding units
representing economics and certain other rights in the Partnership. In the
Reorganization, Mr. Lowden's ownership interests in Sahara Resorts and the
Partnership were converted into 2,521,875 shares or 50.9%, of the Company's
Common Stock. In February 1994, the Company declared a 25% stock dividend
with respect to all outstanding Common Stock. Since September 30, 1993, Mr.
Lowden has acquired beneficial ownership of 998,292.93 shares of Common Stock
through a stock dividend, 401(k) purchases, purchases in open market
transactions and through grants of employee incentive stock options. In
addition, Mr. Lowden disposed of 252,178 shares through contributions to LICO
and disposition of 401(k) shares.

(1)  25% stock dividend issued with respect to all outstanding Common Stock.

(2)  Mr. Lowden's 401(k) purchases. The purchases are made every three
     months and, during the time period from October 1, 1993 through
     December 31, 1994 reflected in these entries, the purchases were
     reported in the aggregate for the three month period on the statement
     provided by the Company's plan administrator. The purchase price per
     share reflects an average price per share for the purchases made during
     the three month period indicated. Fractional shares listed are the
     result of allocations of bulk purchases made by the plan administrator.

(3)  These shares were canceled and reissued on 2/21/97 and, therefore, have
     been included only once in the calculation of acquired shares.

(4)  Employee incentive stock options, exercisable currently.

(5)  Transferred from Mr. Lowden personally, as trustee for his son Paul
     Lowden IV, to Paul and Suzanne Lowden's joint account.
