Alliance Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) hereby requests an extension of time to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005.  The Company was unable to file its Form 10-Q by November 9, 2005 without unreasonable effort or expense, primarily because the Company has experienced delays, as previously disclosed, in completing preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 (the “10-K Financial Statements”), and as a result, has experienced delays in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.  Until it is able to file its Form 10-K, the Company will be unable to complete the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (the “10-Q Financial Statements”) and file its Form 10-Q.  The Company continues to dedicate significant resources to the preparation of the 10-K Financial Statements, the finalization of the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q.
