              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         Casino Data Systems, Nevada Corporation, was incorporated in June
1990.  Each of the following corporations are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company:  CDS Services Company, Paradise Graphics, Inc., Fifty-Seven
Corporation, which does business as Southwestern Sign Service, 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 develops 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.

         Paradise Graphics, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada in August 1991 to
produce flat-glass graphics and slot reel graphics for gaming machine
manufacturers and manufacturers of coin operated equipment.  On January 1, 1994
the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Paradise Graphics
Inc. for a purchase price of $427,500 in cash ($283,770 net of cash acquired)
and a $772,500 note payable.  The note was paid in full in June of 1994.  The
acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.  The excess
of the purchase price over the net assets acquired (goodwill) totaled $909,391
and is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15
years.

         CDS Gaming Company was incorporated in March 1994 to develop and
operate MSP systems.  The Company derives revenues from the operation of these
systems.

         TurboPower Software Company was incorporated in Nevada in January 1995

18, 1995, the Company, through TurboPower Software Company, purchased
substantially all of the assets of TurboPower Software, a Colorado sole
proprietorship, for a cash purchase price of $600,000 and 112,500 restricted
shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $3.11 per share.  The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method.

         Fifty Seven Corporation doing business as Southwestern Sign Service
was incorporated in Nevada in July 1998, to design and manufacture both indoor
and outdoor signage, primarily for casinos.  On September 21, 1995, the Company

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 to operations when incurred.

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 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 video poker machine, and is developing additional
innovative video gaming devices.  In January 1996, the Company entered into the
Telnaes Agreements to obtain certain non-exclusive rights to use the Telnaes
Technology.  The Telnaes Technology can be used in reel spinning slot machines
to create the high odds necessary to allow large progressive jackpots and is
intended to be used by the Company in its MSP systems.

         The Company sells OASIS II 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 II
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 II 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 II
system.

         The Company's revenue and income may vary substantially from quarter
to quarter because the Company's results in any quarter are substantially
dependent on receipt of orders and installation of systems in that quarter.   A
primary determinant of the receipt of new systems orders is growth in the
gaming industry.  Although the Company believes that gaming markets will
continue to expand, the rate of growth is dependent upon 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 its
primary source of revenue, notable variations in revenue and income may occur.

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995, COMPARED
    TO THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

Overview

         Income from operations and net income increased from $1,276,428 and
$1,051,210 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, respectively, to
$2,469,213 and $1,704,051, respectively, for the same period in 1996.  This
represents an increase of $1,192,785 in income from operations and an increase
of $652,841 in net income.  The increases in income from operations and net
income are primarily attributable to the increase in total revenues from
$5,493,601 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $14,561,244 for the
same period in 1996.  The increase in total operating costs and expenses as a
percentage of net revenues resulted in an overall decrease in the income from
operations margin from 23% for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to 17%
for the same period in 1996 and a decrease in the net income margin from 19%
for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to 12% for the same period in 1996.

Net Revenues

         Net revenues increased from $5,493,601 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995, to $14,561,244 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$9,067,643 or 165%.  The increase in net revenues is primarily attributable to
the expansion of the Company's MSP operations in Mississippi and Nevada,
increased sales of the Company's OASIS II system and additional revenues
generated by the sale of signs and meters during the three months ended March
31, 1996.

Costs and Expenses

         Costs and expenses increased from $4,217,220 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, to $12,092,031 for the same period in 1996, an increase
of $7,874,811 or 187%.  Total operating costs and expenses, excluding cost of
goods sold, decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 38% for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, to 36% for the same period in 1996.  Cost of goods
sold increased from





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
$2,138,107 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $6,876,083 for the
same period in 1996, an increase of $4,737,976.  Gross margins as a percentage
of total revenues decreased from 61% for the three months ended March 31, 1995
to 53% for the same period in 1996.  The decrease in gross margin is primarily
attributable to the increase in revenue contributed by the Company's MSP system
operations in relation to total revenues.  Gross margin from the Company's MSP
systems operations is generally lower than the gross margins contributed by its
other products.  Gross margin from MSP systems' operations were also negatively
affected by interest rate fluctuations.  The Company anticipates a continued
decrease in its gross margin as revenues from its MSP systems operations and
meters, signs and graphics subsidiary account for a greater proportion of the
Company's total revenue.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $1,429,144
for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $3,957,474 for the same period in
1996, an increase of $2,528,330.  The increase is primarily attributable to
increased personnel and associated payroll and occupancy expenses necessary to
expand the Company's MSP operations, the Video Interactive Gaming Division, and
regional sales and support offices, and the additional selling, general and
administrative expenses of the sign business that was not in operation during
the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased from 26% for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, to 27% for the same period in 1996.

         Research and development expenses increased from $490,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, to $730,000 for the same period in 1996, an
increase of $240,000.  Major expenditures during the three months ended March
31, 1996 included the development of (i) additional OASIS II system products;
(ii) the PitBOSS pit, cage, and credit system; (iii) the VIG Signature Series
and development of other video interactive games; (iv) the multi-game MSP
system software and (v) further refinements and enhancements to its progressive
meter systems.  Research and development expenses as a percentage of total
revenues decreased from 9% for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to 5% for
the same period in 1996.

         Depreciation and amortization increased from $159,969 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, to $528,474 for the same period in 1996, and
increase of $368,505.  The increase is primarily due to the depreciation of the
increased number of gaming devices in operation and the new Las Vegas building.
Depreciation as a percentage of total revenues increased from 3% for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, to 4% for the same period in 1996.

Net Income

         Net income increased from $1,051,210 for the three months ended March
31, 1995, to $1,704,051 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $652,841.
The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the increase in
revenues from its MSP operations in both Mississippi and Nevada, and increased
sales of the Company's OASIS II systems for the three months ended March 31,
1996, compared to the same period in 1995.  Net income as a percentage of net
revenues decreased from 19% for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to 12%
for the same period in 1996.  The decrease in net income as a percentage of net
revenues is primarily attributable to increased revenues from lower gross
margin MSP system operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's cash flow from operations was $1,429,586 during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to $(4,097,172) during the same
period of 1996.  The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,603,716 at
March 31, 1995, compared to $46,252,679 at March 31, 1996.  The net increase of
$33,161,505, the major components of which are as follows:  net proceeds from
the sale of common stock of $ 46,007,029; cash invested in marketable
investment securities of $4,667,098; cash used for the acquisition of equipment
and leasehold improvements of $3,287,862; cash used in the purchase of
intangible assets of $2,606,920; net proceeds from the issuance of notes
payable of $2,078,567; cash used for the repayment of debt of $265,039; cash
used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996, of $4,097,172
which includes cash used to increase inventory stock and accounts receivable,
net of increases in accrued expenses and accrued slot liability.

         The Company has developed and operates the Company's MSP System. In
general, an MSP System links a number of slot machines in multiple casinos to
generate a collective jackpot.  A percentage of each coin wagered is added to
one or more increasing collective jackpots.  In some jurisdictions the Company
may be required by regulators to maintain a minimum bankroll requirement in the
future.  The amount of funds required in the future is dependent on several
factors, such as the type and denomination of games the Company wishes to
operate and the local regulatory environment.

         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,
such as the type and denomination of games the Company operates and the local
regulatory requirements.  In accordance with gaming requirements, the Company
established segregated cash accounts aggregating approximately $7,600,000 at
March 31, 1996 to ensure availability of adequate funds to pay this liability.
Although statistically remote, a possibility exists that multiple jackpots may
be hit prior to the time period in which game play has generated sufficient
revenue to accrue each jackpot reset amount, which may have a material adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations in the reporting period in which
the jackpots are hit.

         The Company has financed certain equipment under financing agreements
for an aggregate of $5,429,841.  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 principal
balance which decreases in proportion to the amortization schedule.

         The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents and 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.
