Item 4.01Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On January 17, 2008, Elixir Gaming Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Ernst & Young, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The engagement of Ernst & Young, LLP was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Audit Committee also approved the dismissal of Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern’s report on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the two years ended December 31, 2006, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope, procedure or accounting principles.

During the Company’s two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, and the subsequent interim period through January 17, 2008, there were no disagreements between the Company and Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years or periods for which services were performed; and there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.  The Company provided Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern with a copy of the foregoing disclosures.  Attached as Exhibit 16 is a copy of Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern’s letter, dated January 17, 2008, stating its agreement with such statements.

In addition, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and the subsequent interim period through January 17, 2008, the Company did not consult with Ernst & Young, LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
