              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      Casino Data Systems (trademark)(the  "Company"), a Nevada Corporation,
was incorporated in June 1990. Each of the following corporations are wholly
owned subsidiaries of the Company: CDS Services Company; CDS Graphics and 
Imaging Company; Imageworks, Inc., CDS Signs, Inc.; TurboPower Software 
Company, and CDS Gaming Company. The primary businesses of the Company are:
(i) the development, licensing and sales of casino management information 
systems; (ii) the operation of multi-site link progressive ("MSP") systems; 
(iii) the design and manufacture of video interactive gaming machines, and 
(iv) the design and manufacture of casino meters, signs and graphics. The 
Company also creates software development tools for sale to outside software
professionals and for use by the Company's own software engineers.

      CDS Services Company was incorporated in June 1993, to provide direct 
sales and support to customers in certain gaming jurisdictions where 
publicly-traded corporations must do business through a subsidiary.

     In January 1994, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common 
stock of CDS Graphics and Imaging Company, (formerly known as Paradise Graphics,
Inc.) The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. 
In April 1996, CDS Graphics and Imaging Company purchased 100% of the 
outstanding common stock of Imageworks, Inc. for 27,000 restricted shares of
the Company's common stock. The purchase was accounted for as a pooling of
interests combination, and accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
for periods prior to the combination have been restated to include the results
of operations of Imageworks, Inc. The restated financial statements have not
been audited. In September 1996, Paradise Graphics, Inc. officially
became CDS Graphics and Imaging Company, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Casino Data Systems.

   CDS Gaming Company was incorporated in March 1994, to develop and operate 
MSP systems. The Company derives revenues from the operation of these systems.
   
   In January 1995, the Company, through TurboPower Software Company, purchased
substantially  all of the assets of TurboPower Software, a Colorado sole
proprietorship. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method.

   In September, 1995, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding common
stock of CDS Signs, Inc. (formerly known as Fifty Seven Corporation). The 
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. In September 1996,
Fifty Seven Corporation officially became CDS Signs, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Casino Data Systems.

   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These condensed unaudited financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report as filed on Form 10-K.

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all 
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results of the 

                                      8

interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods 
are not indicative of the results of operations for an entire year.

   Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the 
current period presentation.

(2) MARKETABLE INVESTMENT SECURITIES:

   Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND
EQUITY SECURITIES. Statement 115 requires that, except for debt securities
classified as "held to maturity" securities, investments in debt and equity
securities should be reported at fair market value. The Company has designated
its debt securities as being held to maturity, as it has the positive intent
and ability to hold until maturity. Those debt securities which have maturities
greater than one year are classified in the noncurrent assets section of the
balance sheet. These securities are carried at amortized cost. Securities are
designated as being held to maturity at the time of their purchase. Gains or 
losses on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification
method and charged or credited to operations when incurred.

(3) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
   
    Property and equipment consist of the following:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                        
                                        
   The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this document and
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K.

GENERAL

   Casino Data Systems is a leading designer and manufacturer of
technology-driven products for the gaming industry. The Company was founded in
1990 to develop and manufacture casino slot accounting systems. Since 1990, the
Company has expanded its original slot accounting system into a casino-wide
management information system. In 1992, the Company developed its first
generation of MSP systems technology. In 1993 and 1994, the Company developed
the next generation of MSP systems technology capable of supporting a large
capacity state-wide MSP system, and designed the Cool Millions (trademark) MSP 
system, which it launched in Mississippi in November 1994. The Company also 
expanded and diversified its business and augmented its ability to design, 
manufacture and customize gaming machines and MSP systems by acquiring graphics,
signs and software businesses in 1994 and 1995. In 1995, the Company introduced
its Cool Millions MSP system in Nevada on a test basis in May and commenced 
state-wide rollout in August. The Company also established its Video 
Interactive Gaming Division in 1995, which, in conjunction with 
Casino Technology Inc. ("CTI"), developed the Caribbean Stud (registered 
trademark) video poker machine and additional innovative video gaming devices. 
The Company has certain non-exclusive rights to use the Telnaes technology.
The Telnaes technology is used in reel spinning slot machines to create the
high odds necessary to allow large jackpots without physically having the
number symbols and reels necessary to create these high odds.

   The Company sells OASIS (trademark) systems, meters, signs and graphics on
a cash basis, on normal credit terms (90 days or less), and over longer term
installment contracts (generally, less than one year). Revenue from OASIS 
system sales is recorded in proportion to work completed using a method that
approximates the percentage-of-completion method, or, if the contract does not
provide for the Company's installation of the system, the sale is recorded upon
shipment. Contracts for OASIS system sales generally specify that the price
is to be paid in three or four installments as progress is made toward
completion and that final payment under the contract is not made until the
expiration of an acceptance period during which time the customer and applicable
regulatory authorities may test and approve the Company's OASIS system.

   The Company's revenue and income may vary substantially from quarter.
Financial results in any quarter are dependent on receipt of orders, 
installation of systems, and the delivery of products in that quarter. 
Although the Company believes that gaming markets will continue to expand, 
the rate of growth is dependent upon several factors, including political, 
legal, and other factors which are beyond the influence of the Company. The 
Company intends to expand its operations and resulting revenues from MSP 
systems, graphics, and meters which will create a more continuous revenue 
stream. The possibility exists that while the Company still depends on systems 
sales as one of its primary sources of revenues, notable variations in revenue 
and income may occur.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED
  TO THE QUARTER MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Overview

   Income from operations and net income increased from $1,223,715 and
$1,056,611, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to 
$3,373,185 and $5,010,793, respectively, for the same period in 1996. This 
represents an increase of $2,149,470 in income from operations and an 
increase of $3,954,182 in net income. 

Revenues

   Revenues increased from $8,407,603 for the three months ended September 30,
1995, to $21,254,521 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $12,846,918 or
153%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the expansion of
the Company's MSP operations in Mississippi and Nevada, introduction of MSP
operations into Native American casinos, sale of video poker machines, and 
increased sales of the Company's OASIS system during the three months ended 
September 30, 1996.

Costs and Expenses

   Costs and expenses increased from $7,183,888 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1995, to $17,881,336 for the same period in 1996, an increase of 
$10,697,448 or 149%. Operating costs and expenses, excluding cost of goods sold,
decreased as a percentage of revenues from 43% for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, to 31% for the same period in 1996. Cost of goods sold 
increased from $3,561,218 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to 
$11,315,080 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $7,753,862. Gross 
margins as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 58% for the three 
months ended September 30, 1995 to 47% for the same period in 1996. The 
decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the increase in the 
percentage of total revenue contributed by MSP operations and the initial sales
of video poker machines. Gross margin from MSP operations and video poker 
machine sales is generally lower than the gross margins contributed by its 
other products. 

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $2,548,659 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $5,047,594 for the same period 
in 1996, an increase of $2,498,935. The increase is primarily attributable to
increased personnel and associated payroll and marketing expenses related to the
expansion of MSP operations in Nevada and Mississippi, the initial rollout of
MSP operations into Native American casinos and the manufacture and sale of 
video poker and reel-spinning slot machines. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 30% for the three months 
ended September 30, 1995, to 24% for the same period in 1996.

   Research and development expenses decreased from $782,417 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, to $734,998 for the same period in 1996. Major
expenditures during the three months ended September 30, 1996 included the 
development of (i) additional OASIS system products; (ii) the PitBOSS pit, cage,
and credit system; (iii) the VIG-I (trademark) Signature Series and development 
of other video interactive games; (iv) the multi-game MSP software; and (v) 
further refinements and enhancements to progressive meter systems. Research and 
development expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 9% for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, to 4% for the same period in 1996.

   Depreciation and amortization increased from $291,594 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995, to $783,664 for the same period in 1996. The increase
is primarily due to the depreciation of an increased number of gaming devices in
operation.

   Other income is made up of rental income, interest income and other forms
of income that are not the result of normal operations. During the three months
ended September 30, 1996, the Company and International Game Technology 
("IGT") entered into a multi-faceted agreement which included a substantial
one-time cash payment by IGT to the Company which is reflected in other income.

Net Income

   Net income increased from $1,056,611 for the three months ended September 30,
1995, to $5,010,793 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $3,954,182. 
Income from operations increased from $1,223,715 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, to $3,373,185 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$2,149,470. Net income increased due to the increase in revenues and the 
increase in other income.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED
  TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Overview

   Income from operations and net income increased from $4,631,782 and
$3,654,597, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to 
$9,300,602 and $9,410,130, respectively, for the same period in 1996. This 
represents an increase of $4,668,820 in income from operations and an increase
of $5,755,533 in net income. 

Revenues

   Revenues increased from $22,017,768 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, to $55,386,449 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $33,368,681 
or 152%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the expansion of
the Company's MSP operations in Mississippi and Nevada, including the
introduction of Cool Millions (trademark) Quarters and Caribbean Stud Video 
Poker, the introduction of MSP operations into Native American casinos, the
sale of video poker machines and an increase in sales of OASIS systems.
 
Costs and Expenses

     Costs and expenses increased from $17,385,986 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995, to $46,085,847 for the same period in 1996, an increase of 
$28,699,861, or 165%. Operating costs and expenses, excluding cost of goods 
sold, decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 38% for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995, to 33% for the same period in 1996. Cost of goods sold
increased from $9,013,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to 
$27,678,847 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $18,665,264. Gross 
margins as a percentage of revenues decreased from 59% for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995 to 50% for the same period in 1996. The decrease in
gross margin is primarily attributable to an increase in the percentage of
total revenue contributed by MSP operations and the initial sales of 
video poker machines. Gross margin from MSP operations and video poker machine 
sales is generally lower than the gross margins contributed by its other 
products. Gross margin from the sale of OASIS systems also decreased because
of an increase in the costs of certain components.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $5,621,139 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $14,175,663 for the same period in 
1996, an increase of $8,554,524. The increase is primarily attributable to 
increased personnel and associated payroll and marketing expenses related to
the expansion of MSP operations in Nevada and Mississippi, the introduction of 
Cool Millions Quarters and Caribbean Stud Video Poker, the initial rollout of
MSP operations into Native American casinos, and the manufacture and sale of
video poker and reel-spinning slot machines during the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of revenues increased from 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
to 26% for the same period in 1996.

     Research and development expenses increased from $2,030,698 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, to $2,214,480 for the same period in 1996, an
increase of $183,782. Major expenditures during the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 included the development of (i) additional OASIS system 
products; (ii) the PitBOSS pit, cage, and credit system; (iii) the VIG-I 
Signature Series and development of other video interactive games; (iv) the 
multi-game MSP software and; (v) further refinements and enhancements to
progressive meter systems. Research and development expenses as a percentage
of revenues decreased from 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to
4% for the same period in 1996.

     Depreciation and amortization increased from $720,566 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, to $2,016,857 for the same period in 1996, an increase
of $1,296,291. The increase is primarily due to depreciation of an increased
number of gaming devices in operation.

   Other income is made up of rental income, interest income and other forms
of income that are not the result of normal operations. The Company and
International Game Technology ("IGT") entered into a multi-faceted agreement
which included a substantial one-time cash payment by IGT to the Company which
is reflected in other income.

Net Income

   Net income increased from $3,654,597 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, to $9,410,130 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $5,755,533. 
Net income as a percentage of revenues remained at 17% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. Net income increased due to the increase in
revenues and the increase in other income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The Company's cash flow used in operations was $5,761,571 during the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $2,402,461 provided by 
operations during the same period of 1995. The Company had cash and cash 
equivalents of $34,666,010 at September 30, 1996, compared to $13,156,998 at 
December 31, 1995. The major components of the net increase of $21,509,012 are: 
cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, of 
$5,761,571 includes cash used to increase inventory stock and accounts 
receivable, net of increases in accrued expenses and accrued slot 
liability; cash invested in marketable investment securities of $4,950,471; 
cash used for the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements of 
$11,429,398; cash used in the purchase of intangible assets of $3,534,623, of
which $2,599,412 was for Telnaes technology; cash used for the repayment of 
debt of $1,410,676; net proceeds from the issuance of notes payable of 
$2,080,186; and net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $46,515,565.

                                   15

   Certain jurisdictions in which MSP systems are operated require the Company
to maintain allocated funds or instruments to guarantee payment of jackpot 
prizes. The amount of funds required is dependent on several factors, including
the type and denomination of games and regulatory requirements. In accordance
with gaming requirements, the Company established segregated cash accounts 
aggregating approximately $13,930,000 at September 30, 1996 to ensure 
availability of adequate funds to pay this liability. Although
statistically remote, a possibility exists that multiple jackpots may be awarded
prior to the time required for game play to generate sufficient revenue to
accrue multiple jackpot amounts. Such an occurrence may have a material adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations in the reporting period in which
multiple unaccrued jackpots are awarded.

   The Company has financed certain equipment under financing agreements for an
aggregate amount of $4,973,514. Equipment financings are collateralized by the 
related equipment and contain certain restrictive covenants, including a 
three-year letter of credit securing payment in the amount of 50% of the current
principal balance.

   The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash to be
provided by operations, and funds available under the line of credit will be
sufficient to cover anticipated, normal operating cash requirements in the
foreseeable future, as well as ongoing research and development expenditures.
