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

DARLINGTON  MUSIC  COMPANY,  INC.  ACQUISITION
- ----------------------------------------------

On  or  about  November  12,  1997  American  Bingo  &  Gaming  Corp.
("Registrant")  entered  into  an  agreement  to  acquire  Darlington  Music
Company,  Inc.  ("Darlington"),  a  South  Carolina  video  gaming  business.
The  acquisition  ("Acquisition")  will be  consummated  in  a stock-for-stock
transaction,  with  the  Registrant  exchanging 1,000,000 shares of its Common
Stock  for  100%  of  the  issued and outstanding capital stock of Darlington.
There  is  no  cash  consideration. Based on its due diligence, the Registrant
believes  that  Darlington  will generate more than $4 million in revenues and
$1 million  in  free  cash flow in 1998. Since the Registrant will account for
the  Acquisition  as a pooling of interests, Darlington's historical financial
results  will  be  combined  with  the  Registrant's  financial  results.  The
Acquisition  closed  on  December  18,  1997.

Darlington  was  founded in 1938 by George Harrison Sr. and is today owned and
operated  by  his three sons George Harrison, Jr., Thomas Harrison and William
Harrison  (collectively,  the "Harrisons"), and Michael Mims, Vice President -
Gaming  ("Mims"),  who,  together,  will  continue  to  operate  the business.

The  Acquisition  involves  consideration in excess of 10% of the Registrant's
total  assets.  The  Registrant will  file,  by  amendment  to  this Form 8-k,
the required financial statements and  exhibits  within  60  days  of the date
of  this  report.



ITEM  7.  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  AND  EXHIBITS
- ----------------------------------------------

a)  Annexed as Exhibit A are Darlington's audited financial statements for the
eleven  and  one-half  month  period  ended  December  17, 1997 and year ended
December  31,  1996.

b)  Annexed  as  Exhibit B are the Company's Pro-Forma condensed balance sheet
and  statement  of  operations and  explanatory  notes,  giving  effect to the
combined  accounts  of  the  Company  and  Darlington  as  required  by  the
instructions  to  Form  8-K.


                                  SIGNATURES

Pursuant  to  the  requirements  of  the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant  has  duly  caused  this  report  to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned  hereunto  duly  authorized.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
                         ----------------------------



Board  of  Directors
Darlington  Music  Company,  Inc.


I  have  audited  the accompanying balance sheets of Darlington Music Company,
Inc.  as  of December 17,1997 and December 31, 1996 and the related statements
of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the periods then ended. These
financial  statements  are  the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
my  audits.

I  conducted  my  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those  standards  require  that  I  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.  I  believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis
for  my  opinion.

In  my  opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material aspects, the financial position of Darlington Music Company, Inc.
as  of  December  17, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and the results of operations
and  its  cash  flows  for the periods then ended in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             FOR THE PERIODS ENDED
                    DECEMBER 17, 1997 AND DECEMBER 31, 1996

NOTE  1  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES
            ----------------------------------------------

This  summary  of  significant  policies  of  Darlington  Music  Company, Inc,
("Darlington")  is  presented  to    assist  in understanding the Corporations
financial  statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations
of  the  Corporation's  management who are responsible for their integrity and
objectivity.    These  accounting  policies  conform  to  generally  accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the  financial  statements.

     A.  Nature  of  Operations
         ----------------------

Darlington  Music Company, Inc, is a video gaming route business with machines
located  in counties across the northeastern part of South Carolina.  There is
no  indication  of  risk  due  to  concentration  in volume of business with a
particular  customer.

     B.   Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents
          ----------------------------

Darlington  considers  all  highly  liquid  debt  instruments purchased with a
maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Corporation
places  its  cash  investments  with  high  quality  financial institutions in
Darlington, SC.  Deposits are insured by FDIC up to $100,000.  At times during
the  audited  period,  balances  exceeded  this  amount.

     C.  Use  of  Estimates
         ------------------

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

     D.  Property  and  Equipment
         ------------------------

     Leasehold  improvements,  furniture  and  equipment  are carried at cost.
Major  additions  are  capitalized  and  depreciated.  Maintenance and repairs
which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed.
Gains  and  losses  from  the  sale  of  fixed  assets are included in income.

     The  cost  of  equipment,  furniture and fixtures is depreciated over the
estimated  useful  lives  of the assets of between five and seven years, using
the straight-line method.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over fifteen
to  thirty-nine  years  using  the  straight-line  method.

     E.  Licenses
         --------

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

     F.  Revenue  Recognition
         --------------------

     Darlington's  revenue  is  determined  by  the win from gaming activities
which  is  the difference between gaming wins and losses.  A percentage of the
win  is  paid  to the locations where the machines are located, and the net is
reported  as  the  Corporation's  revenue.

      UNAUDITED  PRO-FORMA  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS



INTRODUCTORY  PARAGRAPH


     In  November  of  1997  American  Bingo  & Gaming Corp. ("ABG") agreed to
acquire  Darlington  Music Company, Inc. (Darlington), a video gaming business
in  South  Carolina.  In  December  of  1997  this acquisition was closed in a
stock-for-stock transaction. ABG's acquisition of Darlington was accounted for
as  a  pooling  of  interests.

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

     The  unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial information also includes
the  results of the Company's recent Gold Strike and Lucky 4 acquisitions. 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.
