RE: SHFL entertainment, Inc.

Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A

Filed August 23, 2013

File No. 000-20820 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”)

Dear Mr. Ingram:

Following up on our conversations with Kamyar Daneshvar on September 24, 2013 and September 25, 2013, and as a supplement to our response letter delivered to the SEC on September 23, 2013 (the “Response Letter”), we hereby provide an acknowledgement on behalf of our client, SHFL entertainment, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), to the Staff of the Office of Mergers & Acquisitions, Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) that:

 

  •   the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

 

  •   Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

 

  •   the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
