              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of
Anchor Gaming and its subsidiaries ("the Company"), Anchor Coin, C.G.

and D D Stud, Inc. ("DD Stud"), which conduct gaming operations in Nevada, and
in Black Hawk and Cripple Creek, Colorado (collectively the "Subsidiaries").
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present 
fairly the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, its cash flows for the three-month period ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995 and its financial position at September 30, 1996. 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 
audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 
1996.  The operating results and cash flows for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be 
achieved in future periods.

and food and beverage items.  Silver inventory of $1,441,306 and $1,092,671 at
September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively, is classified as raw
material.  The remainder of inventory is classified as finished goods.  All

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

     This Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and other applicable securities laws.  Such statements are subject to inherent
risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties 
include, among others, those set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996.

OVERVIEW

     The following table sets forth the percentage of Anchor's total revenues
attributable to casino operations, gaming machine route operations, proprietary
games operations and food and beverage operations during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.  The Company's newest proprietary game, Wheel of
Gold-TM- began generating revenue during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  The
Company's food and beverage revenues are derived primarily from its casino
operations and, to a lesser extent, from its route operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     REVENUES.  Total revenues were $35.2 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, which ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $7.4 million or
26.4% from $27.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

     Revenues from casino operations were $17.6 million for the first quarter 
of fiscal 1997, an increase of $1.3 million or 7.9% from $16.3 million for 
the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase is primarily due to increased 
revenue at both of the Company's Colorado casinos.

     Revenues from route operations were $8.0 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, an increase of $1.5 million or 24.0% from $6.5 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Machines

on route increased to 768 at September 30, 1996, from 647 at September 30, 1995,
while average machines on route during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were 89
machines greater than the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

     Revenues from proprietary games operations were $9.2 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $4.5 million or 96.2% from $4.7 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase is primarily due to revenues
generated from the Company's newest proprietary game, Wheel of Gold-TM-
introduced December 29, 1995.

     Revenues from food and beverage operations were $361,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, substantially the same as the $358,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.

     COSTS AND EXPENSES. Total costs and expenses were $23.0 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $2.9 million or 14.1% from $20.1
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

     Costs and expenses of casino operations were $6.9 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $248,000 or 3.7% from $6.7 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Casino costs and expenses as a percentage of
casino revenue decreased to 39.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from
41.0% during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

     Costs and expenses of route operations were $4.8 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $761,000 or 18.9% from $4.0 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Costs and expenses of route operations as a
percentage of route revenue decreased to 59.6% during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 from 62.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The increase in
route costs and expenses was primarily due to increased location costs, related
to increased machines on route.

     Costs and expenses of proprietary games operations were $3.1 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $59,000 or 2.0% from $3.0
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Proprietary games costs and
expenses as a percentage of proprietary games revenues decreased to 33.4% during
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 64.2% during the first quarter of fiscal
1996.  The decrease in proprietary games costs as a percentage of revenue is a
result of the Company's newest proprietary game Wheel of Gold-TM- which incurs
less costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue than the Company's other
proprietary games.

     Costs and expenses of food and beverage were $396,000 for the first quarter
of fiscal 1997, an increase of $57,000 or 16.8% from $339,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  Food and beverage costs and expenses as a percentage of
food and beverage revenue increased to 109.9% during the first quarter of fiscal
1997 from 94.7% during fiscal 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $6.3 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of  $1.1 million or 21.4% from
$5.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  SG&A expenses as a
percentage of total revenue decreased to 17.9% during the first


                                       -8-

<PAGE>

quarter of fiscal 1997 from 18.6% during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The
increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to increased payroll, advertising,
and research and development costs.

     Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.5 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $611,000 or 70.2% from $870,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.  This increase is primarily due to increased
depreciation and amortization expense incurred in the Company's proprietary
games operations.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  As a result of the factors discussed above, income
from operations was $12.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, an
increase of $4.5 million or 58.5% from $7.7 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996.  As a percentage of total revenues, income from operations
increased to 34.7% during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 27.7% during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.


     INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income was $1.0 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, an increase of $611,000 or 152.8% from $400,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  This increase is due to increased short-term
investments resulting from an increase in working capital generated from
operations as well as cash invested from the April 1996 Secondary Offering.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense was $97,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, a decrease of $15,000 or 13.1% from $112,000 for the first quarter
of fiscal 1996.

     NET INCOME.  As a result of the factors discussed above, net income was
$8.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, an increase of $3.2 million
or 63.9% from $5.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Anchor's principal sources of liquidity have been cash flow from
operations, the net proceeds from the Secondary Offering in April 1996, and the
IPO in February 1994.  Net proceeds to the Company from the Secondary Offering
were $53.9 million, and net proceeds from the IPO were $34.1 million.  Net cash
provided by operating activities was $14.3 million during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 and $8.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  At
September 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $80.6 million,
working capital of $76.0 million, and  $20.0 million available under a $20.0
million revolving bank line of credit (the "Bank Revolver"), including $5.0
million of letter of credit capabilities available within the Bank Revolver.

          During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company spent $12.4
million on capital expenditures, primarily related to the purchase of gaming
devices for use in its proprietary games operations of approximately $10.0
million.  In addition, the Company spent $1.3 million during the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 related to the planned development of a second casino in Black
Hawk, Colorado.  Through September 30, 1996, the Company has spent $13.4 million
related to this planned development.


                                       -9-

<PAGE>

     The Company entered into the $20 million Bank Revolver in fiscal 1994,
which expires November 30, 1996.  Management believes that the Company will be
able to extend or renew this Bank Revolver on terms no less favorable than those
of the current facility, although there can be no assurance that this will be
done.  The Bank Revolver is subject to a 3/8% unused commitment fee and bears
interest at the prime rate of interest plus 1/4%, or LIBOR plus 2 1/4 %, at the
Company's option.  The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as
collateral under the terms of the Bank Revolver  and has agreed to maintain
certain financial and non-financial covenants customary with lending
arrangements of this type.  The Company has remained in compliance with the
covenants throughout the term of the credit facility.  During fiscal 1996 the
Company did not use the Bank Revolver.

     The Company believes its principal liquidity requirements will be the
funding of its planned second casino in Black Hawk, Colorado, estimated to be
completed during calendar 1998, and the purchase of additional proprietary 
gaming machines, primarily Wheel of Gold.  The Company believes that cash on
hand, cash flow from operations, and available credit under the Bank Revolver
will be sufficient to fund its currently planned capital projects and 
operations.

     The Company continually seeks opportunities to expand its gaming oriented
businesses in new and existing gaming jurisdictions.  If successful in pursuing
another opportunity in any gaming oriented business and depending on the amount
of funding required, the Company may be required to obtain additional financing.
