ITEM  2.  ACQUISITION  OR  DISPOSITION  OF  ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------------

GOLD  STRIKE,  INC.  ACQUISITION
- --------------------------------

On  August  14,  1997 the Company entered into a contract with Michael Mims, a
non-affiliate,  to  acquire Gold Strike, Inc., a South Carolina corporation in
the  video  gaming  machine  business, pursuant to completion of the Company's
final  due  diligence on Gold Strike. This acquisition is intended to close on
August 25, 1997. Upon closing, Mr. Mims will become an officer and director of
the  Company.

This  acquisition  will  be  consummated  in  a stock-for-stock exchange, with
American  Bingo exchanging approximately 828,000 of its common shares for 100%
of  all outstanding shares of Gold Strike. The Company believes that the value
of  this  consideration,  $5.4  million,  is  approximately  three  times Gold
Strike's  annual  cash  flows. There is no cash consideration involved in this
acquisition.

The  Company  will  acquire  all  of  Gold  Strike's assets used in the gaming
industry  business,  including  equipment, machinery, real property, fixtures,
leasehold  interests,  inventory,  prepaid expenses, contractual and leasehold
rights and all other tangible and intangible assets. The Company will likewise
assume  all  liabilities related to these assets. The Company will continue to
use  all  acquired  assets  in  the  gaming  industry  business.

The  Company  intends  to  account for this acquisition as a pooling, assuming
that  the transaction qualifies; otherwise, this transaction will be accounted
for  as  a  purchase. If the transaction is treated as a purchase, the Company
will  value  this  acquisition  at the current fair market value of its issued
securities,  less  a  discount  for  lack  of  marketability,  pursuant  to  a
three-year  Company  lock-up  on  the  sale  of  the  securities.

This  acquisition  involves  consideration  in  excess of 10% of the Company's
total  assets.  The  Company  has  provided  herein  all  required  financial
statements  and  exhibits.

ITEM  5.  OTHER  EVENTS
- -----------------------

EQUITY  FINANCING
- -----------------

On  August  4, 1997 the Company completed a $2.0 million equity financing with
Plazacorp  Inc.  The  Company issued 2,000 Preferred Series A shares, $.01 par
value, at the price of $1,000 per share. After financing commissions and legal
and  accounting fees, the Company netted approximately $1.82 million from this
financing.  The  Company  plans  to  use these funds primarily for acquisition
costs.

The Company intends to register these securities under Form S-3. The Preferred
Shares  bear  interest  at 7% per annum and are convertible into common shares
under a variable pricing formula between $4.00 and $5.50 per share. Under this
formula,  the  Company  expects  to  issue  a  minimum of 363,636 shares and a
maximum  of  500,000  shares.  The  shares  are  convertible in four blocks as
follows:

              --------------------------------------------------



To  Mr.  Michael  Mims
d/b/a  Palmetto  Games


We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets  of Palmetto Games as of
December  31,1996  and  1995 and the related statements of operations, owner's
equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the  responsibility  of  the  Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those  standards  require  that  we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material  misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made  by  management,  as  well as evaluating the overall financial
statement  presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for  our  opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all  material aspects, the financial position of Palmetto Games as of December
31,  1996  and  1995  and the results of operations and its cash flows for the
years  then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED), DECEMBER 31, 1996, AND DECEMBER 31, 1995


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

     (a)    Description  of  the  Business:

          The  accompanying  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of
Palmetto  Games  ("Palmetto"),  a  sole  proprietorship  owned by Michael Mims
("Owner"). Palmetto owns and operates a video gaming machine route business in
South  Carolina.  The financial statements presented herein do not include the
personal  accounts of the owner or those of any other operation in which he is
engaged.

     (b)    Use  of  Estimates  and  Assumptions:

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make estimates and
assumptions  that  affect  certain  reported  amounts  and  disclosures.
Accordingly,  actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.

     (c)    Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents:

          Palmetto    considers  all  highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with  a  maturity  of  three  months or less to be cash equivalents.  Palmetto
places  its  cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions.
At  times,  such  investments  may  be  in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

     (d)    Property  and  Equipment:

          The  cost  of  equipment, furniture and fixtures is depreciated over
the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the assets of between three and five years,
using  the  straight-line  method.  Upon  sale,  retirement  or abandonment of
assets, the related cost and accumulated deprecia-tion are eliminated from the
accounts and gains or losses are re-flected in income. Repairs and maintenance
expenditures  which  do  not  extend  asset  lives  are  expensed as incurred.

     (e)    Licenses:

          Video  game  operators  in  South  Carolina  are  required to obtain
licenses  from the state to operate video gaming machines. Generally, licenses
are  granted  for  a two-year period. As such, Palmetto  expenses the costs of
its  licenses  over  a two-year license period. Palmetto  periodically reviews
its  license  portfolio  to  ensure  that  the future economic benefits of its
licenses  are  consistent  with  their  recorded  values.

     (f)  Income  Taxes:

          The financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes
because  the  proprietorship  does  not  incur  federal or state income taxes.
Instead,  income  from  the  proprietorship  and  the  proprietor's income and
expenses from other sources are included in his individual income tax returns.

              AMERICAN BINGO & GAMING CORP. AND GOLD STRIKE, INC.

             UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



INTRODUCTORY  PARAGRAPH


     Effective  in  September  1997,  American  Bingo  &  Gaming Corp. ("ABG")
completed  a stock-for-stock acquisition of Gold Strike, Inc. ("Gold Strike").
In  August  1997,  Gold  Strike  acquired all of the assets and liabilities of
Palmetto  Games,  a  sole  proprietorship, through a capital contribution from
Michael  Mims,  the  owner.  Mr.  Mims was also the sole owner of Gold Strike,
which  has  had no other activity prior to this acquisition. ABG's acquisition
of  Gold  Strike  was  accounted  for  as  a  pooling  of  interests.

     The pro-forma unaudited consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1997 gives
effect  to  the acquisition of Gold Strike as if it had occurred on that date.
The  pro-forma  unaudited  statements  of  operations for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 reflect the
combined  results  of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on January
1,  1995.

     The  unaudited  pro-forma  consolidated  financial  information  is  not
necessarily  indicative  of  the  results  of  operations that would have been
reported  had  such  events  occurred  on  the  dates  specified,  nor  is  it
necessarily indicative of the future results of the consolidated entities. The
unaudited  consolidated  pro  forma  financial  statements  should  be read in
conjunction  with  the  historical  financial  statements  of  the  Company.
