Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

(a)         On October 1, 1996, Scientific Games Holdings Corp. (the "Company"
            or "SGI") acquired the shares of capital of Opax International
            Limited, a United Kingdom subsidiary of Rexam PLC, a United Kingdom
            corporation, and which was renamed Scientific Games International
            Limited ("SGIL"). SGIL is a producer of instant lottery and

(b)         The consideration paid was $22.8 million (L.14.6 million) and was

REPORT OF THE INDEPENPENT AUDITORS
To the directors of Scientific Games International Limited (formerly Opax
International Limited)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Scientific Games
International Limited as at 31 December 1995 and the related consolidated profit
and loss account and statement of cashflows for the year ended 31 December 1995.
The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the directors.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.

BASIS OF OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurances about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OPINION
In our opinion, the consolidated statements referred to above present fairly in
all material respects the consolidated financial position of Scientific Games
International Limited at 31 December 1995 and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
at 31 December 1995



1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing
     with items which are considered material in relation to the company's
     accounts.

     BASIS OF PREPARATION
     The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention modified to
     include the revaluation of freehold land and buildings and in accordance
     with applicable accounting standards.

     BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
     The financial statements include the financial statements of Scientific
     Games International and all subsidiary undertakings. The accounting date of
     all subsidiary undertakings is the same as that of Scientific Games
     International Limited.

     DEPRECIATION
     The cost or valuation of fixed assets, other than freehold land, is
     depreciated on a straight line basis over the expected useful lives of the
     assets concerned as follows:

     Freehold buildings           -        2%

     Plant and machinery          -        6% - 20%

     Motor vehicles               -        25%

     Computer equipment           -        25%

     Fixtures and fittings        -        10% - 20%

     DEFERRED TAXATION
     Deferred taxation is accounted for on all material timing differences using
     the liability method except where the deferral is expected to continue for
     the foreseeable future.

     STOCKS
     Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost in
     respect of work in progress and finished goods includes direct labour,
     materials and production overheads.

     PENSIONS
     The expected cost of providing pensions in respect of defined benefit
     schemes is charged to the profit and loss account over the estimated
     service lives of the employees in the schemes.

     LEASED ASSETS
     Where assets are acquired by leasing arrangements which give rights
     approximating to ownership ('finance leases') the amount representing the
     outright purchase price of such assets is included in tangible fixed
     assets. Depreciation is provided at rates designed to write off this net
     cost in equal annual amounts over the shorter of the estimated useful lives
     of the assets or the period of the leases. Future rentals are treated as a
     liability.

     All other leasing agreements are 'operating leases' and the rentals are
     charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.

1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     FOREIGN CURRENCIES
     Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the
     date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
     foreign currencies are translated at the rate ruling at the balance sheet
     date. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

2.   TURNOVER
     Turnover represents amounts invoiced by the company in respect of goods and
     services provided during the year, excluding value added tax. The analysis
     of turnover by geographical areas is as follows:

6.   PENSIONS

     As part of The Rexam group, the majority of employees belonged to the Rexam
     Employee Benefit Plan (formerly the Bowater Employees Benefit Plan), a
     pension scheme of the defined benefit type. The charge in these accounts
     represents contributions paid to the scheme.

     The charge does not take full account of the surplus disclosed in the
     scheme by the last actuarial valuation which was carried out as at 6 April
     1994 and details of which are disclosed in the consolidated accounts of
     Rexam PLC. The prepayment arising in respect of the Rexam group as a whole
     under the scheme is also disclosed in those accounts.

     Following the acquisition of the Company by Scientific Games Holdings
     Corp. on 1 October 1996, arrangements have been made for the employees of 
     the Company to be transferred out of the Rexam Employee Benefit Plan into 
     a separate pension scheme administered by Bacon and Woodrow.

meaning of section 240 of Companies Act.  Statutory accounts for the year ended
31 December 1995, on which the auditors gave an unqualified opinion, have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
the directors, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation have been made.  Operating results for the
nine month period ended 30 September 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending 31 December 1996.  These
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended 31 December 1995 included

                        SCIENTIFIC GAMES HOLDINGS CORP.
                PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)

On October 1, 1996, Scientific Games Holdings Corp. (the "Company" or "SGI")
acquired the shares of capital of Opax International Limited, a United Kingdom
subsidiary of Rexam PLC, a United Kingdom corporation, and which was renamed
Scientific Games International Limited ("SGIL"). SGIL is a producer of instant
lottery and promotional game tickets with an international customer base and
two printing plants in the United Kingdom.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company as
of September 30, 1996 is based on the historical consolidated balance sheet of
the Company and the balance sheet of SGIL. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance gives effect to the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting
and reflects the assumptions and the adjustments described in the accompanying
notes.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet does not purport to
represent the Company's actual financial position that would have been reported
had the acquisition occurred on December 31, 1995.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and
upon certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the
circumstances. This unaudited pro forma balance sheet should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995 (as filed on the annual report,
Form 10-K) and for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 (as filed on Form
10-Q).
