             INNOVATIVE GAMING CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)  BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
interim consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the Company's most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1996. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (including recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
period presented have been made. Operating results for the six months ended June
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1997.

(2)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The manufacture, distribution and sale of the Company's products are regulated
by various jurisdictions and entities, including requirements to obtain licenses
and product approval in several jurisdictions. The Company has obtained required
licenses and product approvals in certain jurisdictions and is continuing
efforts to obtain such approvals in other key jurisdictions. Failure to
successfully obtain and/or maintain such licenses and approvals, or meet other
regulatory requirements could materially impact the expansion and future
operation of the Company. As a result, the Company expects quarterly results to
be volatile until all product approvals have been obtained and appropriate
marketing efforts have been performed in major gaming markets. Until all major
gaming market approvals are received and marketing efforts performed, future
sales and earnings are expected to continue to be negatively impacted.

(3)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Grand Casinos, Inc. ("GCI"), which is in the business of owning, managing and
developing casinos, is a stockholder of the Company. Lyle Berman, Chairman of
the Board of the Company, is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and a
principal shareholder of GCI. Under an existing machine purchase agreement, GCI
may purchase up to an aggregate of 125 games in quantity purchases at
distributor level prices. Previous quantity sales were also made to GCI at
distributor level prices for the purpose of testing, evaluating and marketing
the Company's blackjack, craps and roulette games. The Company made no machine
sales to GCI during the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 or 1997.

(4)  COMMON STOCK

On October 20, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its currently outstanding common stock from
time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
depending on market conditions. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had repurchased
248,500 shares at prices ranging from $3.56 to $6.08 per share for total
consideration of $1,199,000. No shares were repurchased during the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1996 or 1997.

                                   (UNAUDITED)


(5)  INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", under which deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for differences between financial and income tax
reporting basis of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted rates and
laws. The Company had cumulative federal net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $8,385,000 as of December 31, 1996. These losses, if not used,
will begin to expire in 2009. The use of approximately $1,250,000 of these
losses is limited to approximately $250,000 per year for the next five years
because the loss was generated in a short tax year. Future changes in the
ownership of the Company may place limitations on the use of these net operating
loss carry forwards.

(6)  RESTRUCTURING PLAN

During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company formalized details of a
comprehensive restructuring plan designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency
of operations. Included in the restructuring plan was the consolidation and
relocation of corporate facilities to Reno, Nevada, reorganization of
management, and an overall evaluation of the Company's product lines and new
markets. As a result of this restructuring plan, the Company recorded a one-time
charge against earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 1996, totaling $1,716,000.

(7)  PREFERRED STOCK PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On April 11, 1997, the Company issued 4,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at a price of $1,000 per share in a
private placement. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3,765,000
from such private placement after the payment of fees and expenses associated
with such private placement. An annual dividend of 4% on such Preferred Stock
shall be paid quarterly in arrears either in Common Stock of the Company or cash
at the Company's discretion.

The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at
a conversion price of 82% of the average closing bid price of the Company's
Common Stock over the ten-day trading period ending the day prior to conversion
(the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price may not exceed $8.1725 per share.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Preferred Stock is convertible into Common
Stock, at the election of the holder thereof, at the later of July 9, 1997 or
the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Effective Date") and all necessary gaming regulatory
approvals. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Preferred Stock is convertible 30
days after the Effective Date; (25%) of the Preferred Stock is convertible 60
days after the Effective Date; and the remaining (25%) of the Preferred Stock is
convertible 90 days after the Effective Date. All outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into Common Stock eleven months
following the Effective Date. A holder of Preferred Stock may not convert such
stock into Common Stock if, following such conversion, the holder beneficially
owns in excess of 4.9% of the Company's Common Stock.

A Registration Statement related to the Common Stock was filed by, and at the
expense of, the Company pursuant to obligations contained in a Registration
Rights Agreement dated April 10, 1997. The Effective Date of the Registration
Statement was July 28, 1997, and all necessary gaming regulatory approvals have
been received.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company was formed in 1991 to develop, manufacture, market and distribute
group participation and other specialty video gaming machines. The Company
manufactures, distributes and markets electronic blackjack, craps, roulette and
progressive blackjack machines to gaming markets worldwide. Since inception, the
Company has focused most of its resources on the regulatory approval process and
the sale and installation of its machines and the development of other products.

In February 1997, the Company received technical game approval for its
multi-station blackjack machine from Colorado regulatory authorities. The
Company, through its Colorado distributor, Vista Gaming Corporation, commenced
placing its blackjack games in Colorado casinos on a lease basis in late
February 1997. In February and March 1997, the Nevada Gaming Commission granted
the Company technical game approval of its Hot Shot DiceTM , BJ BlitzTM and
Lightning StrikeTM Roulette machines for use in Nevada. The Company has
commenced placing these games in Nevada casinos utilizing alternative terms and
pricing methods including lease "participation" basis wherein the Company
receives a percentage of the games' net win at percentages similar to those
received by other specialty game suppliers in casino locations. As of June 30,
1997, a total of 38 games were in place on a lease/participation basis. The cost
of these games is included in property and equipment.

The Company distributes its products both directly to the gaming marketplace and
through licensed distributors. In certain jurisdictions, the Company has
received technical game approval but has not sought or received its
distributor's license. In certain jurisdictions the Company may use an existing
licensed distributor to sell its products pursuant to any necessary Tribal or
regulatory transaction approvals. The Company has, and/or intends to apply for
necessary licenses or technical approvals in key jurisdictions both domestically
and internationally where legalized electronic gaming is permitted.

The Company has exclusive or nonexclusive distributorship agreements with
Aristocrat Leisure Industries PTY LTD, Bally Gaming International, Drew
Distributing, Ludi S.F.M., S.A.M. Eurusa, Sodak Gaming Inc. and Vista Gaming
Corporation. Ludi is affiliated with Eurusa.


               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS
                  ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1996

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred
losses attributable to common shareholders of $1,837,000, or $.28 per share, and
$3,113,000, or $.48 per share, respectively. The operating losses were primarily
attributable to low sales volume and gross profit while expenses were incurred
related to the Company's continuing efforts to develop/enhance and license its
products and introduce those products into new markets. The loss attributable to
common shareholders includes adjustments for preferred stock accretion and
preferred stock dividends. For the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1996, the Company incurred net losses of $2,835,000, or $.45 per share, and
$3,739,000, or $.60 per share, respectively. These losses resulted primarily
from a restructuring charge recorded in the second quarter, low sales volume and
expenses incurred in preparing the Company's products for introduction into new
markets.

SALES, COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

Total sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, were $1,083,000 compared to
$730,000 recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The Company sold 18 games
in the current period compared to 9 games in the prior year period. Total sales
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, were $1,550,000 compared to $1,236,000
recorded in the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Company sold 24 games in the
1997 period compared to 15 games in the 1996 period. The current quarter sales
included 14 games sold to the Company's distributor in Australia,

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

representing the Company's first sale into that market of provisionally approved
machines. The Company's distributor in Australia is pursuing final game approval
in that key jurisdiction.

Sales in Australia and other new markets will continue to be volatile while new
jurisdictional licenses and/or distribution agreements are obtained. Regulatory
timing delays in acquiring certain gaming licenses/approvals in key
jurisdictions have limited the markets available to sell the Company's products.
The Company also recognized lease/participation revenues in 1997 from initial
placement of games in Colorado and Nevada casinos, subsequent to receiving
regulatory approval in those jurisdictions late in the first quarter of 1997.

The gross margin for the second quarter of 1997 was 12.0% compared to 32.2% for
the second quarter of 1996. The gross margin for the six months ended June 30,
1997 was 12.8% compared to 29.7% for six months ended June 30, 1996. The lower
gross margin in 1997 was primarily due to high production costs attributable to
product design revisions causing rework, production delays due to parts
shortages and costs associated with commencement of leasing games to casinos.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30,
1997 was $1,397,000, an increase of $44,000 compared to the three months ended
June 30, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 increased $261,000 to $2,826,000 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1996. These expense increases were primarily due to higher
product engineering and development expenses and licensing costs related to
introduction of the Company's products into new jurisdictions, and increased
sales and marketing expenses.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

In the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized $1,716,000 in
restructuring costs, which included expenses relating to the Company's
relocation to Reno, management transition and product focus. All anticipated
expenses related to the relocation and restructuring were accrued in the quarter
ended June 30, 1996. During the relocation process, the Company maintained
operations in both Reno and Plymouth for over two months, which resulted in
duplication of various expenses. Additionally, the Company incurred a loss upon
the sale and disposal of unusable office equipment, computer equipment and
leasehold improvements when moving out of the Plymouth office.

As part of the restructuring, management also focused on the product lines it
feels are necessary to provide the salability, manufacturing capability, and
ultimately the profit margins necessary to achieve and sustain future growth. As
part of this process the Company recorded an inventory obsolescence reserve on
certain of its inventory.

INTEREST INCOME

In the quarter ended June 30, 1997, interest income was $92,000 compared to
$154,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30,
1997, interest income was $177,000 compared to $330,000 in the six months ended
June 30, 1996. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease in notes
receivable and investments in interest bearing accounts.

            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
              JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1996 - CONTINUED

PREFERRED STOCK ACCRETION ADJUSTMENT

On April 11, 1997, the Company issued 4,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at a price of $1,000 per share in a
private placement (see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements). The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's
Common Stock at a conversion price of 82% of the average closing bid price of
the Company's Common Stock over the ten-day trading period ending the day prior
to conversion. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is
$878,048, which is being accreted to Preferred Stock and charged against net
income or loss to arrive at net income or loss attributable to common
shareholders over the period in which the right to convert the Preferred Stock
becomes vested. The $878,048 value of the beneficial conversion feature is being
recognized in the amount of $625,611 during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and
$252,437 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

ACCUMULATED DEFICIT

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,671,000 as of June 30, 1997. Due
to the high degree of regulation and other factors of the business environment
in which the Company operates, the likelihood of future profitable quarters
cannot be predicted. Future results are highly dependent on the Company's
ability to obtain the necessary licenses and/or product approvals in various
jurisdictions in order to expand its market base. There can be no assurance as
the time frame during which such anticipated approvals may occur due to
uncertain time periods involved in the regulatory approval process. Due to the
unique nature and prices of the Company's products, it is difficult to predict
the appropriate selling cycle time frame involved in each new jurisdiction.

As a result of these factors, the Company expects quarterly results to be
volatile until licenses and approvals are obtained in certain major gaming
markets and appropriate marketing efforts can be performed in new jurisdictions.
The Company has experienced delays in acquiring certain gaming licenses and/or
product approvals in key jurisdictions. Future sales and earnings levels are
expected to continue to be negatively impacted until approvals are acquired in
key new jurisdictions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a $1,000,000 standby letter of credit/revolving credit
arrangement primarily to facilitate acquisition of components and supplies from
a foreign vendor. The facility is collateralized by short-term investments of
the Company.

On October 20, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its currently outstanding common stock from
time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at
prices ranging from $3.56 to $6.08 per share for total consideration of
$1,199,000. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 1996
or 1997.

On April 11, 1997, the Company issued 4,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share in a private placement for total
proceeds of $4,000,000. The Company received net proceeds of approximately

associated with such private placement. An annual dividend of 4% shall be paid
quarterly in arrears either in Common Stock of the Company or cash at the
Company's discretion.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
              JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1996 - CONTINUED

Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common
Stock at a conversion price of 82% of the average closing bid price of the
Company's Common Stock over the ten-day trading period ending the day prior to
conversion (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price may not exceed $8.1725
per share. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Preferred Stock is convertible into
Common Stock, at the election of the holder thereof, at the later of July 9,
1997 or the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Effective Date") and all necessary
gaming regulatory approvals. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Preferred Stock is
convertible 30 days after the Effective Date; (25%) of the Preferred Stock is
convertible 60 days after the Effective Date; and the remaining (25%) of the
Preferred Stock is convertible 90 days after the Effective Date. All outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into Common Stock
eleven months following the Effective Date. A holder of Preferred Stock may not
convert such stock into Common Stock if, following such conversion, the holder
beneficially owns in excess of 4.9% of the Company's Common Stock. A
Registration Statement related to the Common Stock was filed by, and at the
expense of, the Company pursuant to obligations contained in a Registration
Rights Agreement dated April 10, 1997. The Effective Date of the Registration
Statement was July 28, 1997, and all necessary gaming regulatory approvals have
been received.

The Company had $5,077,000 and $6,959,000 in cash and cash equivalents,
available-for-sale securities and restricted investments as of June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively. The decrease in these resources is primarily
due to the purchase of additional inventory to meet forecast demand for the
Company's products and to fund the additional operating equipment required for
placement of games in casinos under lease/participation agreements. The Company
believes that its cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and
restricted investments, and additional financing capacity will be sufficient to
meet the Company's current liquidity and capital requirements. These resources
and cash generated from operations are expected to meet the Company's long-term
capital requirements. The Company had no long-term debt as of June 30, 1997.

PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs
concerning future events, including statements regarding the Company's timetable
of game approval in Australia. In addition, statements containing expressions
such as "believes," "anticipates," "hopeful" or "expects" used in the Company's
periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the SEC are intended to
identify forward looking statements. The Company cautions that these and similar
statements included in this report and in previously filed periodic reports
including reports filed on Forms 10-K and 10-Q are further qualified by
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, the
following: decline in demand for gaming products or reduction in the growth rate
of new markets; increased competition; the effect of economic conditions; a
decline in the market acceptability of gaming; political and economic
instability in developing international markets; a decrease in the desire of
established casinos to upgrade machines in response to added competition from
newly constructed casinos; the loss of a distributor; changes in interest rates
causing a reduction on investment income or in the market interest rate
sensitive investments; loss or retirement of key executives; approval of pending
patent applications or infringement upon existing patents; the effect of
regulatory and governmental actions; unfavorable determination of suitability by
regulatory authorities with respect to officers, directors or key employees; the
limitation, conditioning or suspension of any gaming license; adverse results of
significant litigation matters; fluctuation in exchange rates, tariffs and other
barriers. Many of the foregoing factors have been discussed in the Company's
prior SEC filings and, had the amendments to the Securities Act of 1933 and
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 become effective at a different time, would have
been discussed in an earlier filing.

         On April 11, 1997, the Company issued 4,000 shares of Series A
         Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share. There were
         no underwriters involved in the transaction. The purchasers were two
         institutional investors who are "accredited investors" as such term is
         defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
         Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation D"). Following payment of legal,
         financial consulting and accounting fees, the Company received net
         proceeds of approximately $3,765,000. The Company relied upon Rule 506
         of Regulation D as the exception for such private placement.
