                                 NOTES DUE 2010

NEW YORK, December 9, 2004 -- Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS)
announced today that, in connection with the tender offer and consent
solicitation for its outstanding 12 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the
"Notes") (CUSIP No. 053323AJ0), it has received sufficient consents from the
registered holders of outstanding Notes to amend the indenture governing the
Notes. Scientific Games also announced that it has determined the price to be
paid on its tender offer for the outstanding Notes.

Scientific Games indicated that it has received requisite consents from the
registered holders of outstanding Notes to amend the indenture governing the
Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain
related event of default provisions and that it is entering into a supplemental
indenture containing the proposed amendments. The consent solicitation for the
Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2004. At that
time, Scientific Games had received consents from registered holders of 88.34%
of the outstanding Notes.

Scientific Games also indicated that the total consideration, excluding accrued
and unpaid interest, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered
and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8,
2004, is $1118.43. The total consideration includes a $20.00 consent payment.
The total consideration is equal to the present value on the payment date of
$1,062.50 (i.e., the redemption price for the Notes on August 15, 2005, which is
the earliest redemption date for the Notes) plus the present value of the
interest that would accrue from the payment date until the earliest redemption
date, in each case determined based on a fixed spread of 100 basis points over
the yield of the 6.5% U.S. Treasury Note due August 15, 2005 at 2:00 p.m., New
York City time, on December 8, 2004.

The tender offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22,
2004, unless extended or terminated. All conditions to consummation of the
tender offer and consent solicitation continue to apply.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an
