Independent Auditors' Report


International Game Technology Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of International Game Technology Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2001
and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes on page 9 is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 2001 financial statements and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

International Game Technology Profit Sharing Plan

Notes to Financial Statements


1.    Description of Plan

The International Game Technology Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is sponsored by
International Game Technology (referred throughout these notes as IGT, we, our
and us) and consists of two programs: the Profit Sharing Program and the 401(k)
Program. The following is a brief description of the Plan and provides general
information. Participants should refer to the IGT Plan Document and Summary Plan
Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, and other provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code.

The Plan, adopted December 10, 1980, is a defined contribution plan covering all
eligible employees of IGT. On June 1, 1993, Plan administration was transferred
to a third-party administrator, and on April 1, 1999, the Plan's third-party
administrator became Fidelity Investments (Fidelity). Refer to "Investment
Options" below for further information on available investment funds with
Fidelity.

In September 1999, IGT purchased Sodak Gaming, Inc. (Sodak), a South Dakota
distributor of casino gaming products. On October 1, 1999, Sodak employees
became eligible to participate in the 401(k) program. For Plan year 2000, Sodak
employees became eligible for the Profit Sharing Program.

On December 30, 2001, IGT completed a merger with Anchor Gaming (Anchor)
pursuant to which Anchor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of IGT in a stock for
stock exchange. On April 2, 2002, Anchor employees became eligible to
participate in the 401(k) program, and all net assets of the Anchor 401(k) Plan
were transferred to the Plan at that time. For Plan year 2002, Anchor employees
will become eligible for the Profit Sharing Program.

Profit Sharing Program
IGT may make an annual profit sharing contribution, as determined by its Board
of Directors, based on operating profits. The contribution is then allocated to
participant's accounts proportionately based on annual eligible compensation.
Refer to "Benefit Payments and Vesting" below for the Profit Sharing Program
vesting schedule.

Our employees are eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Program after
completing 1,000 hours of service in a calendar year and reaching the age of 18.
Once eligible, a Plan participant must be employed on the last day of the Plan
year (December 31) to receive their annual profit sharing allocation.
Participation in the Plan is retroactive to January 1 of the year in which the
employee became eligible.

401(k) Program
Effective January 1, 1989, the Plan was amended to allow participants to defer
up to 20% of their annual salary as contributions to their accounts, as governed
by IRC Section 401(k). On January 1, 1995, IGT again amended the Plan to lower
the elective deferrals from 20% to 15%. On January 1, 1998, IGT amended the Plan
to lower the elective deferrals for highly compensated employees to 7%.

An employee may begin contributing pre-tax contributions to their accounts upon
completion of 90 days of full time employment, or one year or 1,000 hours as a
part-time employee. A participant may stop contributing to the Plan at any time
by notifying the third-party administrator.



On January 1, 1993, we began a 401(k) contribution matching program whereby IGT
matches 100% of an employee's contributions up to $500 and an additional 50% of
the next $500 contributed by the employee. This allows for maximum annual
matching contributions of $750 to each employee's account. Employees are 100%
vested in all 401(k) contributions.

The Plan also allows for rollover contributions from other qualified retirement
plans. If the rollover is from an individual retirement arrangement, all assets
in the prior retirement plan must have originated as contributions made under a
qualified plan.

Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with employee 401(k) and employer
matching contributions, allocations of IGT's profit sharing contribution and
forfeitures of non-vested portions of terminated participants' account balances,
net of Plan expenses. Additionally, participants' accounts are affected by
earnings and losses on investments. Each participant is provided a quarterly
account statement detailing the account activity by investment fund.

Investment Options
IGT has selected thirteen investment options that have a variety of growth and
risk characteristics. Plan participants are able to elect how their
contributions are invested. A participant may allocate all contributions to one
investment fund or split them between any combination of funds in increments of
1%. A participant may change how current and/or future contributions are
invested at any time during the Plan year. The Plan's investment options are:

            Retirement Money Market Portfolio
            PIMCO Total Return Fund
            Fidelity Puritan Fund
            Fidelity Equity-Income II
            Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund
            Baron Asset Fund
            Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund
            Fidelity OTC Portfolio
            UAM: FMA Small Company Portfolio
            Fidelity Diversified International Fund
            IGT Unitized Stock Fund
            Invesco Growth Fund
            Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund

We invest employer profit sharing contributions in the Spartan Money Market Fund
until they are allocated to participants and distributed.



Benefit Payments and Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their tax deferred 401(k) contributions,
401(k) matching contributions, and rollover contributions from other qualified
plans, and the related earnings. Contributions to each participant's profit
sharing account vest based upon years of continuous service. A participant is
fully vested after seven consecutive years of service, based on the following
vesting schedule:


                        Completed Years
                          of Service         Vested Portion
                              0                     0%
                              1                     10%
                              2                     20%
                              3                     30%
                              4                     45%
                              5                     60%
                              6                     80%
                              7                    100%


A participant earns one year of vesting service for each Plan year (January 1 to
December 31) in which he or she worked at least 1,000 hours.

Upon termination of employment, a participant may receive a lump sum payment
equal to the value of his or her account. If the termination of employment is by
normal retirement (retirement after age 65), by death or by reason of total
disability, the participant is 100% vested and has the right to receive payment
in full. If a participant leaves IGT for any other reason, he or she is entitled
to a distribution from the vested portion of his or her account.

If a terminating participant's vested account balance totals $5,000 or more, he
or she may voluntarily defer payment of benefits until the normal retirement
date. In any case, he or she may not defer payment past the age of 70 1/2. The
only form of benefit payments are lump-sum payments, however, a terminating
participant may take a partial lump-sum payment and defer the balance of his or
her account as long as the remaining balance is at least $5,000.

Hardship Withdrawals
The Plan allows for hardship withdrawals under defined circumstances. The
necessity of the hardship withdrawal is reviewed by IGT's Benefits Committee and
includes allowance for major medical expenses, purchase of a primary residence,
college expenses for a family member, and prevention of eviction from or
foreclosure on a principal residence. A participant must stop making pre-tax
401(k) contributions for a year following the hardship withdrawal.

Plan Termination
In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their
accounts. Although IGT has not expressed any intent to do so, IGT has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

Loans
The Plan allows for loans to be taken against a participant's vested account,
subject to the following restrictions: the loan amount may be no less than
$1,000 and no more than the lesser of 50% of the participant's vested account
balance or $50,000; interest is charged on a simple interest basis at the prime
rate plus 1%; and repayment must be over a period not to exceed 60 months.
Payments are made by payroll deduction on a bi-weekly basis.



Administrative Expenses
Plan administrative expenses totaling $ 75,655 and $74,397 in 2001 and 2000,
were paid by the Plan. These include management and trustee fees. Consulting
fees and recordkeeping fees are paid by IGT.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
