Forward-Looking Statements

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “could,” “potential,” “opportunity,” or similar terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are generally located in the material set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” but may be found in other locations as well. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of future results or performance. Actual outcomes may differ materially from those projected in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, including, among other things: competition; material adverse changes in economic and industry conditions in our markets; technological change; retention and renewal of existing contracts and entry into new contracts; availability and adequacy of cash flow to satisfy obligations and indebtedness or future needs; protection of intellectual property; security and integrity of software and systems; laws and government regulation, including those relating to gaming licenses, permits and operations; inability to identify, complete and integrate future acquisitions; seasonality; dependence on suppliers and manufacturers; factors associated with foreign operations; dependence on key personnel; failure to perform on contracts; resolution of pending or future litigation; labor matters; and stock price volatility. Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)   Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007, the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, have been prepared by Scientific Games Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2007 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

effect would be anti-dilutive. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 excludes the effect of approximately 185 and 130 out-of-the-money options, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The aggregate number of shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of its $275,000, 0.75% convertible senior subordinated debentures due 2024 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which the Company sold in December 2004, is approximately 9,450. The Convertible Debentures provide for net share settlement upon exercise and the Company has purchased a bond hedge to mitigate the potential economic dilution from conversion.

During the first and second quarters of 2007, the average price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the specified conversion price. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company has included 1,557 and 1,123 shares, respectively, related to its Convertible Debentures in its diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company has included 1,994 and 1,416 shares, respectively, related to its Convertible Debentures in its diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. The Company has not included the offset from the bond hedge as it would be anti-dilutive; however, when the Convertible Debentures mature, the diluted share amount will decrease because the bond hedge will offset the economic dilution from conversion.

(2)   Acquisitions

On May 1, 2007, the Company acquired Oberthur Gaming Technologies and related companies (“OGT”). OGT is a manufacturer of instant lottery tickets and operates three instant ticket plants located in Montreal, Canada; Sydney, Australia and San Antonio, Texas. The purchase price was approximately $102,000 (approximately one-third of which is attributable to U.S. assets), subject to certain adjustments. The Company expects its acquisition of OGT will allow it to strengthen its international presence in Canada, Europe and Australia and offer its customers an expanded array of products and services. The Company financed the acquisition through borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Approximately $20,000 of the preliminary goodwill of approximately $59,000 resulting from the acquisition of OGT will be deductible for tax purposes. The operating results of OGT have been included in the Company’s Printed Products segment and have been consolidated in the Company’s statement of operations since the date of acquisition.

In conjunction with the purchase of substantially all of the online lottery assets of EssNet AB (“EssNet”) in March of 2006, the Company recorded approximately $26,717 in liabilities, primarily related to involuntary employee terminations, termination of leases and termination of service contracts that will result from the integration. The table below summarizes the payments made to date, adjustments and the balance of the accrued integration costs from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007:

(3)   Operating Segment Information

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), defines operating segments to be those components of a business for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by management in making operating decisions and in assessing performance. SFAS 131 further requires that segment information be presented consistently with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting in making internal operating decisions.

In addition, as a result of the acquisition of 80% of the common stock of International Lotto Corp., SRL (“ILC”) in December 2006, Printed Products now has an agreement with certain charities in Peru under which the Company participates in the operation of a lottery in Peru. The Lottery Systems Group offers online, instant and video lottery products and online and instant ticket validation systems.

Subsequent to the issuance of the 2006 financial statements management determined that certain EssNet sales revenues of approximately $7,400 and EssNet cost of sales of approximately $5,100 were classified as service revenues and cost of services in the Lottery Systems Group during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 periods. Accordingly the amounts have been revised in the following presentation.

The following tables represent revenues, profits, depreciation, amortization and selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, by current reportable segments. Corporate expenses, including interest expense, other income, and corporate depreciation and amortization are not allocated to the reportable segments.

In evaluating financial performance, the Company focuses on operating profit as a segment’s measure of profit or loss. Operating income is before interest income, interest expense, equity in earnings of joint ventures, corporate expenses and income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except for accounting for income tax contingencies (see “Critical Accounting Policies” in this Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and Note 1 of the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006).

(4)   Equity Investments in Joint Ventures

The Company is a member of Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali, a consortium consisting principally of the Company, Lottomatica S.p.A, and Arianna 2001, a company owned by the Federation of Italian Tobacconists. The consortium has a signed contract with the Italian Monopoli di Stato to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery. The contract, which commenced in mid-2004, has an initial term of six years with a six year-extension option. Under our contract with the consortium, the Company is a supplier of instant lottery tickets, will participate in the profits or losses of the consortium as a 20% equity owner, and will assist Lottomatica S.p.A in the lottery operations. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and

Retirement benefits under the U.S. Plan are based upon the number of years of credited service up to a maximum of 30 years for the majority of the employees. Retirement benefits under the U.K. Plan are based on an employee’s average compensation over the two years preceding retirement. Retirement benefits under the OGT Plans are based on the number of years of credited service for the majority of its employees. The Company’s policy is to fund the minimum contribution permissible by the respective tax authorities.

The following table sets forth the combined amount of net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007.

The Company has a 401(k) plan covering all U.S. based employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Under the plan, participants are eligible to receive matching contributions of 50 cents on the dollar from the Company for the first 6% of participant contributions for a match of up to 3% of eligible compensation. The Company has a 401(k) plan for all U.S. based union employees which does not provide for Company contributions. With the acquisition of OGT, the Company has a 401(k) plan covering certain U.S. based employees. Under the plan, participants are eligible to receive matching contributions of 50 cents on the dollar from the Company for the first 4% of participant contributions.

(10)   Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1,376, which was accounted for as a reduction to the Company’s accumulated earnings as of January 1, 2007.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was approximately $4,113. Of this amount, approximately $3,607, if recognized, would be included in the Company’s statement of operations and have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. Also as a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $120, which was accounted for as a reduction to the Company’s accumulated earnings as of January 1, 2007. The Company recognizes interest accrued for unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and recognizes penalties in income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company had accrued approximately $259 for the payment of interest and penalties.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2001. The Company does not believe that the amount of uncertain tax positions will change by a significant amount within the next 12 months. In the event of subsequent recognition, the entire amount recognized would impact the effective tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of 27.6% was determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which was less than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to lower tax rates applicable to the increase in the Company’s earnings from operations outside the United States and the tax benefit of the 2004 debt restructuring. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 of 29.0% and 29.5%, respectively, were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which was less than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to lower tax rates applicable to the increase in the Company’s earnings from operations outside the United States and the tax benefit of the 2004 debt restructuring.

(11)   Stockholders’ Equity

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had a total of 2,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value, authorized for issuance, including 229 authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 1 authorized share of Series B Preferred Stock. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

(11)   Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)

The Company has two classes of common stock, consisting of Class A common stock and Class B non-voting common stock. All shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitle holders to the same rights and privileges except that the Class B common stock is non-voting. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock. The following demonstrates the change in the number of Class A common shares outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and during the three months ended June 30, 2007:

On December 15, 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Hasbro, Inc. (“Hasbro”) for the use of certain Hasbro brands in multiple lottery platforms. Under the terms of the agreement, on February 28, 2007, the Company issued to Hasbro warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 40 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for $32.98 per share. The Warrants may be exercised at any time before February 28, 2012. The fair value of the Warrants on the date of grant was $480. Such amount is reflected in the caption “Other assets and investments” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(14)   Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”). This standard establishes a standard definition for fair value, establishes a framework under generally accepted accounting principles for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

(15)   Legal Matters

As previously reported, on March 9, 2006, the Company received a request for information relating to the licensing of its operation of several earth stations in its racing communications business from the enforcement bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). The Company conducted an internal review which determined that its racing subsidiary was not in full compliance with FCC licensing requirements. The Company engaged special FCC counsel to assist us in ensuring that it is in compliance with all applicable licensing requirements and responding to the FCC’s inquiry. On June 29, 2007, the Company entered into a consent decree with the FCC whereby the FCC closed its investigation and the Company agreed to make a voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury of $215.

On June 15, 2007, the Seattle Washington Regional Office of the Federal Trade Commission informed the Company that it was investigating the Company’s May 1, 2007 acquisition of OGT and related companies and that it was requesting the Company’s voluntary cooperation in that investigation. The Company is fully cooperating in the investigation. The Company believes that the transaction complies with the antitrust laws.

Item 2.                        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion addresses the results of operations of Scientific Games Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we” or the “Company”), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our results may vary significantly from period to period depending on the addition or disposition of business units in each period. The acquisitions of Games Media Limited (“Games Media”) and International Lotto Corp., SRL (“ILC”) in December 2006, and the acquisition of Oberthur Gaming Technologies and related companies (“OGT”) in May 2007 affect the comparability of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. The acquisition of substantially all of the online lottery assets of EssNet AB (“EssNet”) in March 2006, the acquisitions of The Shoreline Star Greyhound Park and Simulcast Facility (“Shoreline”) and The Global Draw Limited and certain related companies (“Global Draw”) in April 2006, the acquisitions of Games Media and ILC in December 2006, and the acquisition of OGT in May 2007 affect the comparability of operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. See Note 3 of the Company’s Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The first and fourth quarters of the calendar year traditionally comprise the weakest season for our Diversified Gaming segment. As a result of inclement weather during the winter months, a number of racetracks do not operate and those that do operate often experience missed racing days. This adversely affects the amounts wagered and our corresponding service revenues. Additionally, the fourth quarter is the weakest quarter for Global Draw due to reduced wagering during the holiday season. Wagering and lottery equipment sales and software license revenues usually reflect a limited number of large transactions, which do not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, revenues and operating results of our Lottery Systems Group can vary substantially from period to period as a result of the timing of revenue recognition for major equipment sales and software licensing transactions. In addition, Printed Products sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract awards, changes in customer budgets, inventory ticket levels, lottery retail sales and general economic conditions.

Background

We operate primarily in three business segments: Printed Products Group, Lottery Systems Group and Diversified Gaming Group. Our revenues consist of two major components: services revenues and sales revenues.

Printed Products Group

We provide instant tickets and related services. Instant ticket and related services includes ticket design and manufacturing as well as value-added services, including game design, sales and marketing support, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. Additionally, this division provides lotteries with over 80 licensed brand products, including Major League Baseball®, NASCAR®, National Basketball Association, Harley-Davidson®, Wheel-of-Fortune®, Hasbro®, Corvette®, World Poker Tour® and The World Series of Poker®. This division also includes promotional instant tickets and pull-tab tickets that we sell to both lottery and non-lottery customers.

We are a worldwide manufacturer of prepaid phone cards, which entitle cellular phone users to a defined value of airtime. Prepaid phone cards offer consumers a cost-effective way to purchase cellular airtime, without requiring phone companies to extend credit or consumers to commit to contracts.

27




Prepaid phone cards utilize the secure process that we employ in the production of instant lottery tickets. This helps to ensure integrity and reliability of the product, thus providing consumers in more than 50 countries with access to prepaid cellular phone service.

On May 1, 2007, we acquired OGT. OGT is a manufacturer of instant lottery tickets and operates three instant ticket plants located in Montreal, Canada; Sydney, Australia and San Antonio, Texas. The purchase price was approximately $102 million (approximately one-third of which is attributable to U.S. assets), subject to certain adjustments. We expect the acquisition of OGT will allow us to strengthen our international presence in Canada, Europe and Australia and offer our customers an expanded array of products and services.

On December 28, 2006, we acquired 80% of the common stock of ILC. ILC is a member of a consortium agreement with certain charities in Peru under which they  participate in the operation of a lottery in Peru. We expect that our acquisition of ILC will enable us to further expand into the Latin American market. As consideration for the acquisition, we exchanged our approximately $16.0 million receivable due from ILC and contributed approximately $3.9 million in assets  The carrying value of our receivable from ILC and assets, totaling approximately $20.0 million, at December 31, 2006, was treated as the purchase price for accounting purposes.

Lottery Systems Group

Our lottery systems business includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of instant ticket, online and video lottery games, point-of-sale terminal hardware sales, central site computers and communication hardware sales, and ongoing support and maintenance services for these products. This business also includes software and hardware and support services for sports betting and operation of credit card processing systems.

On March 22, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the online lottery assets of Swedish firm EssNet which specializes in online lottery systems and terminals to run online lotteries, sports betting, instant tickets and mobile games on a national level. EssNet’s lottery customers include seven states in Germany, the national lottery of Norway, Golden Casket and Tattersall’s Lottery in Australia, and other national lotteries. The purchase price was approximately $60 million in cash.

Diversified Gaming Group

Our Diversified Gaming Group provides services and systems to private and public operators in the wide area gaming markets and in the pari-mutuel wagering industry. Our product offering includes fixed odds betting terminals (“FOBTs”), video lottery terminals (“VLTs”), monitor games, wagering systems for the pari-mutuel racing industry, sports betting systems and services, and Amusement With Prize (“AWP”) and Skill With Prize (“SWP”) terminals. Business units within the Diversified Gaming Group include Global Draw, a leading supplier of FOBTs and monitor games to licensed bookmakers, primarily in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Austria; Scientific Games Racing LLC, a leading worldwide supplier of computerized systems for pari-mutuel wagering; Games Media, our AWP and SWP terminal supplier in the U.K. public house market, and our pari-mutuel gaming operations in Connecticut, Maine and the Netherlands.

Effective February 28, 2007, we sold our racing communications business and our 70% interest in NASRIN, our data communications business, to Roberts Communications Network, LLC (“RCN”) in exchange for a 29.4% interest in the RCN consolidated business. RCN provides communications services to racing and non-racing customers using both satellite and terrestrial services.  The acquisition of the interest in RCN was not material to our operations.

28




On December 22, 2006, we acquired Games Media. The purchase price was approximately $25 million (subject to adjustment), plus an earn-out based on the future performance of the business.

On April 20, 2006, we acquired Global Draw, a leading U.K. supplier of fixed odds betting terminals and systems, and interactive sports betting systems and terminals and betting systems in Austria and the U.K. The purchase price was approximately $183 million, plus an earn-out to the selling shareholders, as well as contingent bonuses to certain members of the management team, which are based on the future financial performance of the business.

On April 5, 2006, we acquired certain assets of Shoreline located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Additionally, the acquisition eliminates existing restrictions on our ability to simulcast live racing in certain portions of the state. The purchase price was approximately $12 million, plus an earn-out, based on the future financial performance of the business.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

The following analysis compares the results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 to the results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Overview

Revenue Analysis

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, total revenue was $269.6 million compared to $239.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $30.0 million or 13%. Our service revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $234.7 million compared to $206.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $27.9 million, or 13%. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of OGT in May 2007 ($15.9 million) and increased international sales of instant lottery tickets. Our sales revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $34.9 million compared to $32.8 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of $2.1 million or 6%. The increase primarily reflects sales resulting from the acquisition of Games Media in December 2006 ($13.5 million), partially offset by the absence of an $11.3 million one-time sale of terminals in Germany in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Expense Analysis

Cost of services of $129.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $16.2 million or 14% higher than for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily related to the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 and ILC in December 2006, higher costs associated with increased international sales of instant lottery tickets and new Lottery Systems contracts, partially offset by lower costs from Lottery Systems service contracts in Europe. Cost of sales of $26.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $2.1 million or 9% higher than the quarter ended June 30, 2006 primarily reflecting costs associated with terminals sold by Games Media, partially offset by a reduction in cost associated with the one-time sale of terminals in Germany in 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expense of $40.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $5.2 million or 15% higher than for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily related to expense resulting from the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 and Games Media in December 2006.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $32.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $8.8 million or 37% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of OGT in May 2007, the amortization of deferred installation costs on new Lottery Systems contracts and increased amortization on licensed property contracts.

29




Interest expense of $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $3.2 million or 29% from the same period in 2006, primarily attributable to increased borrowings to fund acquisitions and slightly higher interest rates.

Equity in earnings of joint ventures primarily reflects our share of the earnings of the Italian joint venture in connection with the operation of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery and our share of the earnings of RCN in connection with the interest we acquired in February 2007. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our share of the Italian consortium’s net income totaled $10.4 million compared to $3.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 reflects continued growth of instant ticket sales in Italy. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our share of the earnings of RCN was $1.0 million.

Income tax expense was $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and $10.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately 27.6% and 29.0% respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower tax rates applicable to the increase in our earnings from operations outside the United States.

Segment Overview

Printed Products

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, total revenue for Printed Products was $137.0 million compared to $112.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $24.6 million or 22%. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, service revenue for Printed Products was $127.0 million compared to $100.6 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, an increase of $26.4 million, or 26%. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 ($15.9 million) and ILC in December 2006 ($1.4 million), plus increased international sales of instant lottery tickets.

Printed Products sales revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, was $10.1 million compared to $11.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 14%. The decrease was primarily the result of a decline of phone card sales.

Cost of services of $70.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $18.2 million or 35% higher than from the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 and ILC in December 2006, combined with higher operating costs as a result of increased international ticket sales.

Cost of sales of $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $0.8 million or 9% lower than for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to the decreased level of phone card sales.

Selling, general and administrative expense of $15.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $4.9 million or 45% higher than in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of OGT in May 2007.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $10.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $4.0 million as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to increased amortization on licensed property contracts and the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 and ILC in December 2006.

Lottery Systems

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, total revenue for Lottery Systems was $63.3 million compared to $69.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 8%. Lottery Systems service revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $52.8 million compared to $49.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $3.6 million, or 7%. The increase was primarily due to revenue from

30




the new Maryland contract, increased revenue from European customers and increased revenue from the New Mexico video contract.

Lottery Systems sales revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $10.5 million compared to $19.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 47%. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of an $11.3 million one-time sale of terminals in Germany in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Add-on sales of terminals and other equipment continued to suffer from legislative uncertainty in the German market.

Cost of services of $28.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $0.5 million or 2% lower than in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to the 2006 cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by expenses associated with the new Maryland contract and the Mexico startup loss.

Cost of sales of $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $8.1 million or 58% lower than during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, reflecting primarily a reduction in cost associated with the one-time sale of terminals in Germany in 2006..

Selling, general and administrative expense of $7.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $0.8 million or 10% lower than in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced costs associated with the 2006 cost reduction initiatives.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $15.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $4.2 million or 38% as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the amortization of deferred installation costs of new Lottery Systems contracts in Maryland and Mexico.

Diversified Gaming

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, total revenue for Diversified Gaming was $69.3 million compared to $58.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $11.2 million, or 19%. Diversified Gaming service revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $54.9 million compared to $57.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 4%. The decrease in service revenue primarily reflects the sale of our racing and data communications businesses in February 2007, partially offset by an increase in revenue from Global Draw.

The Diversified Gaming sales revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $14.4 million compared to $1.2 million in the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of $13.2 million. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Games Media in December 2006 ($13.5 million).

Cost of services of $30.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $1.4 million or 4% lower than for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to reduced costs as a result of the sale of our racing and data communications businesses.

Cost of sales of $12.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $11.0 million higher than in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of Games Media in December 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expense of $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $0.7 million or 16% higher than in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Games Media in December 2006 and increased expenses from Global Draw, partially offset by lower costs related to our pari-mutuel business in the U.S. and the sale of our racing and data communications businesses.

Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of service contract software, of $6.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $0.6 million or 10% from the quarter ended

31




June 30, 2006, primarily due to increased depreciation for Global Draw, partially offset by reduced depreciation as a result of the sale of our racing and data communications businesses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

The following analysis compares the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Overview

Revenue Analysis

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total revenue was $511.8 million compared to $447.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $64.0 million or 14%. Our service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $445.7 million compared to $383.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $61.9 million, or 16%. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Global Draw in April 2006 ($20.6 million) and OGT in May 2007 ($15.9 million) and increased international sales of instant lottery tickets. Our sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $66.2 million compared to $64.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $2.2 million or 3%. The increase primarily reflects sales resulting from the acquisition of Games Media in December 2006 ($23.8 million) plus a $5.4 million sale of hardware in Canada in the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by the absence of a $19.8 million one-time sale of terminals in Germany and a decline in phone card sales.

Expense Analysis

Cost of services of $246.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $38.0 million or 18% higher than for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily related to the acquisitions of Global Draw in April 2006, ILC in December 2006 and OGT in May 2007, plus higher costs associated with increased international instant ticket sales. Cost of sales of $48.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was in line with cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expense of $79.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $11.9 million or 18% higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily related to increased costs associated with the acquisitions of Global Draw in April 2006, Games Media in December 2006 and OGT in May 2007, combined with increased stock-based compensation recorded for the respective time periods.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $18.5 million or 43% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to depreciation resulting from the acquisition of Global Draw in April 2006, amortization of deferred installation costs of new Lottery Systems contracts in Maryland and Mexico and increased amortization on licensed property contracts.

Interest expense of $27.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $8.9 million or 49% from the same period in 2006, primarily attributable to increased borrowings to fund acquisitions plus slightly higher interest rates.

Equity in earnings of joint ventures primarily reflects our share of the equity of the Italian joint venture in connection with the operation of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery and our share of the equity of RCN in connection with the interest we acquired in February 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our share of the Italian consortium’s net income totaled $22.0 million compared to $5.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflects continued growth of instant ticket sales in Italy. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our share of the earnings of RCN was $1.3 million.

32




Income tax expense was $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately 27.6% and 29.5% respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower tax rates applicable to the increase in our earnings from operations outside the United States.

Segment Overview

Printed Products

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total revenue for Printed Products was $250.9 million compared to $220.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $30.8 million or 14%. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, service revenue for Printed Products was $231.6 million compared to $194.2 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, an increase of $37.4 million, or 19%. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 ($15.9 million) and ILC in December 2006 ($2.9 million) and increased international sales of instant lottery tickets.

Printed Products sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $19.4 million compared to $25.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 25%. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased sales of phone cards, partially offset by revenue resulting from the acquisition of Printing Associates, Inc. (“PAI”) in 2006.

Cost of services of $126.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $27.5 million or 28% higher than from the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher operating costs as a result of the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 and ILC in December 2006, combined with increased costs as a result of higher international ticket sales.

Cost of sales of $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.0 million or 20% lower than for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to decreased costs associated with the decline of phone card sales, partially offset by costs resulting from the acquisition of PAI in 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expense of $27.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $5.0 million or 23% higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of OGT in May 2007 and increased stock-based compensation costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $7.2 million or 64%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to increased amortization on licensed property contracts and the acquisitions of OGT in May 2007 and ILC in December 2006.

Lottery Systems

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total revenue for Lottery Systems was $128.7 million compared to $136.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 6%. Lottery Systems service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $107.1 million compared to $102.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $5.1 million, or 5%. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue from European customers and increased revenue from the new Maryland contract, partially offset by lower revenues due to the absence of a large Powerball jackpot that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Lottery Systems sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $21.5 million compared to $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $13.0 million or 38%. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of a $19.8 million one-time sale of terminals in Germany in the six months ended June 30, 2006, partially offset by a $5.4 million sale of hardware in Canada in 2007. Add-on sales of terminals and other equipment continued to suffer from legislative uncertainty in the German market.

33




Cost of services of $57.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.3 million or 2% higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with the new Maryland contract and the Mexico startup loss, partially offset by reduced expenses associated with the 2006 cost reduction initiatives and reduced costs associated with the absence of a large Powerball jackpot that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Cost of sales of $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $13.5 million or 53% lower than during the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily reflecting a reduction in costs associated with the one-time sale of terminals in Germany in 2006, partially offset by higher costs associated with increased hardware sales in Canada in 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expense of $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.2 million or 1% lower than in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced costs associated with cost reduction initiatives that occurred in 2006, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense for the respective time periods and increased costs associated with the increase in revenues from European  customers.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $7.9 million or 37% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the amortization of deferred installation costs of new Lottery Systems contracts in Maryland and Mexico and increased amortization on domestic contracts.

Diversified Gaming

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total revenue for Diversified Gaming was $132.2 million compared to $91.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $41.1 million, or 45%. Diversified Gaming service revenue for the first six months of 2007 was $106.9 million compared to $87.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $19.3 million, or 22%. The increase in service revenue primarily reflects the acquisition of Global Draw in April 2006 ($20.6 million), partially offset by the sale of our racing and data communications businesses in February 2007.

The Diversified Gaming sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $25.3 million compared to $3.5 million in the same period in the prior year, an increase of $21.8 million. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Games Media in December 2006 ($23.8 million), partially offset by lower pari-mutuel equipment sales in 2007.

Cost of services of $62.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $9.2 million or 17% higher than the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Global Draw in April 2006.

Cost of sales of $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $17.4 million higher than the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of Games Media in December 2006, partially offset by lower pari-mutuel sales in 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expense of $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $3.6 million or 51%  higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Global Draw in April 2006 and Games Media in December 2006.

Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of service contract software, of $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $3.5 million or 37% from the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the increased depreciation resulting from the acquisition of Global Draw in April 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) and began accounting for income tax contingencies in accordance with the guidance provided in FIN 48. Previous to the adoption of FIN 48, we accounted for income tax contingencies solely in accordance with the SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”). See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on FIN 48.

There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital

On June 30, 2007, we had $146.2 million available for additional borrowing or letter of credit issuance under our revolving credit facility due 2009 (the “Revolver”) under our existing credit agreement dated as of December 23, 2004, as amended and restated as of January 24, 2007 (the “January 2007 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). There were $110.5 million of outstanding loans and $43.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolver as of June 30, 2007.

Our January 2007 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority, perfected lien on: (i) substantially all the property and assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of our Company and 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries; (ii) 100% of the capital stock of all of the direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of our interest in the capital stock of our 100%-owned first-tier foreign subsidiaries; and (iii) all inter-company indebtedness owing amongst our Company and our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries. The January 2007 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is supported by guarantees provided by all of our direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries.

Our pari-mutuel wagering and online lottery systems service contracts require us to, among other things, maintain the central computing system and related hardware in efficient working order, provide added software functionality upon request, provide on-site computer operators, and furnish necessary supplies. Our primary expenditures associated with these services are personnel and related costs, which are expensed as incurred and are included in Cost of Services in the consolidated statements of income. Historically, the revenues we derive from our pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems service contracts have exceeded the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations thereunder. We expect that we will continue to realize positive cash flow and operating income as we extend or renew existing service contracts. We also expect that we will enter into new contracts that are accretive to our cash flow. In addition, through advancements in technology, we are continually deploying more efficient and cost effective methods for manufacturing and delivering our products and services to our customers. We expect that technological efficiencies will continue to positively impact our future cash flows and operating results. We are not party to any other material short-term or long-term obligations or commitments pursuant to these service contracts.

Periodically, we bid on new pari-mutuel and online lottery contracts. Once awarded, these contracts generally require significant up-front capital expenditures for terminal assembly, customization of software, software and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically, we have funded these up-front costs through cash flows generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our ability to continue to procure new contracts will depend on, among other things, our then present liquidity levels and/or our ability to borrow at commercially acceptable rates to finance the initial up-front costs. Once operational, long-term service contracts have been accretive to our operating cash flow. The actual level of capital expenditures will ultimately largely

35




depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning new contracts. Furthermore, our pari-mutuel wagering network consists of approximately 26,000 wagering terminals. Periodically, we elect to upgrade the technological capabilities of older terminals and replace terminals that have exhausted their useful lives. During the remainder of fiscal 2007, we expect to replace approximately 4,500 and 800 existing pari-mutuel and fixed odds betting terminals, respectively, for a total cost of approximately $16.7 million. Servicing our installed terminal base requires that we maintain a supply of parts and accessories on hand. We are also required, contractually in some cases, to provide spare parts over an extended period of time, principally in connection with our systems and terminal sale transactions. To meet our contractual obligations and maintain sufficient levels of on-hand inventory to service our installed base, we purchase inventory on an as-needed basis. We presently have no inventory purchase obligations, other than in the ordinary course of business.

On May 1, 2007, we acquired OGT for approximately $102 million. We financed the acquisition through borrowings under our Revolver.

As of June 30, 2007, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $174.0 million compared to $82.4 million as of December 31, 2006. The amount of our available cash fluctuates principally based on the timing of collections from our customers, cash expenditures associated with new and existing online lottery systems service and pari-mutuel and fixed odds wagering contracts, borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities and changes in our working capital position.

Our available cash of $27.8 million as of June 30, 2007 is consistent with the December 31, 2006 level and principally reflects the net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $93.4 million along with $116.9 million of additional net borrowings, offset by wagering and other capital expenditures and other investing activities totaling $119.6 million, acquisition related payments of $101.9 million and the effects of exchange rates. The $93.4 million of net cash provided by operating activities is derived from approximately $105.8 million of net cash provided by operations offset by approximately $12.4 million from changes in working capital. The working capital changes occurred principally from increases in accounts receivable and inventory, and decreases in accounts payable and other current liabilities. Capital expenditures of $18.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 are more than similar expenditures totaling $8.5 million in the corresponding period in 2006. Wagering system expenditures totaled $62.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $72.0 million in the corresponding period in 2006, and consisted primarily of new lottery contracts in Mexico and Maryland and fixed odds betting terminals related to Global Draw contracts with its customers. Other intangible assets and software expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted primarily of licensed properties, lottery contracts in Mexico and Maryland and gaming contracts related to Global Draw. Cash flow from financing activities principally reflects the borrowings under the January 2007 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under the January 2007 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. While we are not aware of any particular trends, our contracts periodically renew and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in sustaining our cash flow from operations through renewal of our existing contracts or through the addition of new contracts. In addition, lottery customers in the United States generally require service providers to provide performance bonds in connection with each state contract. Our ability to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms is subject to prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by economic and political events. Although we have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining such bonds, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. While we are not aware of any reason to do so, if we need to refinance all or part of our indebtedness, on or before maturity, or provide letters of credit or cash in lieu of performance bonds, there can be no

36




assurance that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Further, the terms of the indenture governing the $275 million, 0.75% convertible senior subordinated debentures due 2024 (the “Convertible Debentures”) give holders the right to convert the Convertible Debentures at any time between July 1, 2007 and September 30, 2007. Upon conversion, the terms of such indenture require us to pay cash for the face amount of the Convertible Debentures which have been presented for conversion, with the value of the difference between the stated conversion price and the prevailing market price payable by our issuance of additional shares of our Class A common stock. We cannot offer any assurance that we will have sufficient available cash to pay for the Convertible Debentures presented to us for conversion nor can we offer any assurance that we will be able to refinance all or a portion of the converted Convertible Debentures at that time.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This standard establishes a standard definition for fair value, establishes a framework under generally accepted accounting principles for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. The evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting management in a timely fashion to all material information required to be included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                        Legal Proceedings

As previously reported, on March 9, 2006, we received a request for information relating to the licensing of our operation of several earth stations in our racing communications business from the enforcement bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). We conducted an internal review which determined that our racing subsidiary was not in full compliance with FCC licensing requirements. We engaged special FCC counsel to assist us in ensuring that we are in compliance with all applicable licensing requirements and responding to the FCC’s inquiry. On June 29, 2007, we entered into a consent decree with the FCC whereby the FCC closed its investigation and we agreed to make a voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury of $0.2 million.

On June 15, 2007, the Seattle Washington Regional Office of the Federal Trade Commission informed us that it was investigating our May 1, 2007 acquisition of Oberthur Gaming Technologies and related companies and that it was requesting our voluntary cooperation in that investigation. We are fully cooperating in the investigation. We believe that the transaction complies with the antitrust laws.

Exhibit 3.1(b)

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

OF THE

RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION

Scientific Games Corporation (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify:

1.     That at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation resolutions were adopted setting forth a proposed amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, declaring said amendment to be advisable and calling for consideration of said amendment at the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation.

2.     That the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended to add a new ARTICLE TENTH as follows:

TENTH:      To enable the Corporation or any Affiliate (as such term is hereinafter defined) to secure and maintain in good standing all licenses, contracts, franchises and other regulatory approvals related to the operation of gaming and related businesses now or hereafter engaged in by the Corporation or any Affiliate within or without the United States of America, which licenses, contracts, franchises or other approvals are conditioned upon some or all of the holders of the Corporation’s Securities (as hereinafter defined) possessing prescribed qualifications, the following provisions shall apply:

(A)  All Securities of the Corporation shall be held subject to the suitability standards, qualifications and requirements of the Gaming Authorities (as hereinafter defined) that regulate the operation and conduct of the businesses of the Corporation or any Affiliate and in accordance with the requirements of all applicable Gaming Laws (as hereinafter defined). If any person (as hereinafter defined) that holds Securities of the Corporation is determined to be a Disqualified Holder (as hereinafter defined), then such holder shall, if the Corporation so elects (unless otherwise required by any Gaming Law or Gaming Authority):

(1)   dispose of such interest in the Corporation within the 60-day period commencing on the date the Corporation gives the holder notice of such holder’s unsuitability or disqualification and requiring such disposition (or an earlier time if so required by any Gaming Authority or any Gaming Law); or

(2)   at the option of the Corporation, sell any or all such Securities to the Corporation on the date specified in the notice given by the Corporation to the holder, which date may not be less than 30 days after notice is given, at a price equal to the Redemption Price (as hereinafter defined).

(B)  Notice to a Disqualified Holder under paragraph (A)(1) or (2) of this ARTICLE TENTH shall be delivered in writing by personal delivery, mailing it to the address shown on the Corporation’s books and records or any other reasonable means and shall be deemed effective on the date given (the “Notice Date”). Failure of the Corporation to provide such notice to a Disqualified Holder after making reasonable efforts to do so shall not preclude the Corporation from exercising its rights under this Article.

(C)  If the Corporation intends to redeem Securities in accordance with paragraph (A)(2) of this ARTICLE TENTH, the notice shall specify the Securities to be redeemed, the date, time and place when such redemption will be consummated, which date in no event will be earlier than 30 days after the date of such notice, and the Redemption Price (it being sufficient for the purposes of this ARTICLE TENTH for the Corporation to indicate generally that the price will be determined in accordance with paragraphs (C)

1




and (J) hereof). If the Corporation gives the notice provided for by the preceding sentence, such notice shall be deemed to constitute a binding agreement on the part of the Corporation to redeem, and on the part of the person notified to sell, the Securities referred to in such Notice in accordance with this ARTICLE TENTH.

(D)  The operation of this ARTICLE TENTH shall not be stayed by an appeal from a determination of any Gaming Authority.

(E)  Commencing on the Notice Date, the Disqualified Holder shall not be entitled to receive payments of dividends or interest upon any Securities of the Corporation held by such Disqualified Holder or exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting or other rights conferred by the Corporation’s Securities upon the holders thereof.

(F)   The Board of Directors shall have the power to determine, on the basis of information known to the Board after reasonable inquiry, all questions arising under this ARTICLE TENTH, including, without limitation (1) whether a person is a Disqualified Holder, (2) whether a Disqualified Holder has disposed of Securities pursuant to paragraph (A) of this ARTICLE TENTH and (3) the amount of Securities held directly or indirectly by any person. Any such determination shall be binding and conclusive on all such persons.

(G)  The Corporation shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this ARTICLE TENTH, and each holder of Securities of the Corporation shall be deemed to have acknowledged by acquiring or retaining Securities of the Corporation that failure to comply with this ARTICLE TENTH will expose the Corporation to irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law and that the Corporation is entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this ARTICLE TENTH.

(H)  A Disqualified Holder shall indemnify the Corporation and its Affiliates for any and all direct or indirect costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates as a result of such holder’s continuing ownership of, or failure to divest, the Securities.

(I)    Any person to whom a redemption notice is given pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE TENTH shall have the burden of establishing to the satisfaction of the Corporation the dates on which and Purchase Price at which such person acquired the Securities subject to such notice.

(J)   For the purposes of this ARTICLE TENTH:

(1)   “Affiliate” means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified (including any direct or indirect subsidiary of such person). For purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to a person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise. For purposes of this ARTICLE TENTH, the term “Affiliate” shall also include any joint venture, minority-owned entity or other enterprise in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates has any direct or indirect interest.

(2)   “Disqualified Holder” means any holder of the Corporation’s Securities: (i) who is requested or required pursuant to any Gaming Law to appear before, or submit to the jurisdiction of, or provide information to, any Gaming Authority and either refuses to do so or otherwise fails to comply with such request or requirement within a reasonable period of time, (ii) who is determined or shall have been determined by any Gaming Authority not to be suitable or qualified with respect to holding Securities of the Corporation, or (iii) whose holding of Securities may result, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, in the failure of the Corporation or any Affiliate to obtain, maintain, renew or

2




qualify for a license, contract, franchise or other regulatory approval with respect to the operation or conduct of the business of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates from a Gaming Authority which conditions approval upon holders of the Corporation’s Securities possessing prescribed qualifications.

(3)   “Gaming Authority” means any government, court, or federal, state, local, international or foreign governmental, administrative or regulatory or licensing body, agency, authority or official, which regulates or has authority over, including to issue or grant a license, contract, franchise or regulatory approval, any form of gaming activities (or proposed gaming activities) or related activities conducted by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, lottery, pari-mutuel wagering, sports wagering and video gaming activities.

(4)   “Gaming Law” means any federal, state, local, international or foreign law, statute, order, ordinance or interpretation pursuant to which any Gaming Authority possesses or asserts regulatory or licensing authority over gaming and related activities.

(5)   A “person” means any individual, firm, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity.

(6)   “Purchase Price” means the price paid to acquire a Security, exclusive of commissions, taxes and other fees and expenses, adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or similar event.

(7)   “Redemption Price” means a price equal to the lesser of (1) the average closing sale price of such Securities as reported for composite transactions in securities listed on the principal trading market on which such Securities are then listed or admitted for trading during the 30 trading days preceding the Notice Date or, if such Securities are not so listed or traded, at the fair value of the Securities determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and (2) the holder’s original Purchase Price.

(8)   “Securities” means any shares of capital stock, bonds, notes, convertible debentures, warrants or other instruments that represent a share in the equity of the Corporation, a debt owed by the Corporation or the right to acquire any of the foregoing.

3.     That the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation was duly called and held on June 7, 2007 upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware at which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the amendment.

4.     That the foregoing amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by its duly authorized officer, this 7th day of June, 2007.
