                            ACRES GAMING INCORPORATED

                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

1.     Unaudited Financial Statements

       Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
       statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
       principles have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements.
       These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
       Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1995 filed with the
       Securities and Exchange Commission.

       In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include
       all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
       necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The
       results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March
       31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the
       full year or future periods.

2.     Line of Credit

       At June 30, 1995, the Company had a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank
       which accrued interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.0 percent. The
       line expired in October, 1995 and was renewed for $750,000 with interest
       at the bank's prime rate plus 2.0 percent. The renewed bank line expired
       at March 31, 1996. Borrowings under the line were secured by
       substantially all assets of the Company. There were no borrowings under
       the line at March 31, 1996.

3.     Income Taxes

       At March 31, 1996, the Company had cumulative net operating losses of
       approximately $7,700,000 which are available to offset future taxable
       income through 2010. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for
       the entire amount of the benefit related to these net operating loss
       carryforwards as realizability is uncertain at this time.

4.     Per Share Computation

       Net loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
       average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods.

5.     Stockholders' Equity

       In June 1995, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to a
       group of private investors for net proceeds of $2,255,000. In connection
       with this offering, the Company granted warrants to purchase 40,000
       shares of the Company's common stock at $7.20 per share which
       approximated market value at that date.
     
       In exchange for services, in February 1995, the Company granted warrants
       to another company to purchase up to 120,000 shares of the Company's
       common stock at $5.50 per share. The warrants expire in February 2000.
       The value of the warrants of $96,000 was recorded as paid in capital and
       the related expense was deferred and amortized over the term of the
       related service agreement. For the three and nine month periods ended
       March 31, 1996, expense associated with these warrants was $8,000 and
       $56,000, respectively.

        Results of Operations

Overview

       The Company's Concept III products are designed to enhance casino
profitability by making gaming machines more fun to play while providing the
control, accounting and security functions necessary to ensure more efficient,
profitable casino operation. In November, 1993, the Company issued 1,667,500
units (consisting of 1,667,500 shares of common stock and 833,750 warrants) in
an initial public offering resulting in net proceeds of $7,153,000. In June
1995, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to a group of private
investors for net proceeds of $2,255,000. Such proceeds are being used to hire
additional engineering personnel and for other research and development costs to
enhance the Company's product line, for capital expenditures for computer and
other equipment, and to lease office space. At its current stage of operations,
the Company's financial position and operating results may be materially
affected by a number of factors, including the timing of receipt, installation
and regulatory approval of any one order, availability of additional capital,
competition and technological change.


Results of Operations

       The Company's net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
$1,451,000, an increase of 309% over net revenues of $355,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 1995. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of
sales of custom products based on the Company's Concept III technology to other
manufacturers for inclusion in gaming machines developed by them. For the nine
months ended March 31, 1996, net revenues were $3,311,000, a increase of 4% from
the $3,193,000 during the same period in the prior year.

       Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 47% in the three-month
period ended March 31, 1996, compared to 5% for the same period in the prior
year. For the nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, gross profit as
a percentage of net revenue was 46% and 36%, respectively. The increase in gross
margin is a result of changes in the mix of products sold and reductions in
certain costs of production and service.

       In order to support growth in revenue and continue to develop its
products, since completion of its initial public offering in November, 1993, the
Company has hired additional personnel, made capital expenditures for computer
and other equipment, leased additional space to serve as its headquarters and
opened and expanded a sales and service office in Las Vegas, Nevada. As a
result, operating expenses increased from $1,063,000 in the three-month period
ended March 31, 1995 to $1,178,000 in the same period in 1996. For the
nine-month periods ended March 31, operating expenses increased from $2,977,000
in 1995 to $3,611,000 in 1996.



Financial Condition

       As of March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $1,830,000,
compared to $3,458,000 as of June 30, 1995. During the nine months ended March
31, 1996, net cash used by operating activities was $760,000, of which the major
components were the net loss, offset by depreciation and amortization of
$474,000 and by an increase of $696,000 in customer deposits. Net cash used by
investing activities was $436,000, while net cash provided by financing
activities was $358,000, resulting from exercise of employee stock options.

       The Company's net cash position (balance of cash and cash equivalents
less borrowings under the line of credit) improved significantly during the
three months ended March 31, 1996. At the end of the previous quarter, as of
December 31, 1995, the net cash position was $(332,000). At March 31, 1996, the
net cash position was $487,000, an increase of $819,000. This improvement
resulted from receipt of customer deposits, increased revenue, and a decrease in
receivables.

       The Company's sources of liquidity include its $487,000 balance of cash
and cash equivalents, and payment terms which generally include deposits with
the receipt of customer orders. Although its operations generated negative cash
flow prior to the three month period ending March 31, 1996, the sources of
liquidity referred to above, along with the flexibility that the Company has in
adjusting operating levels, are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's
operations for at least the next 12 months.
