ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(a) Effective November 23, 1999 Casino Data Systems (the "Company")
dismissed KPMG LLP ("KPMG"). The decision to change accountants
was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of
the Company.
The reports of KPMG on the Company's consolidated balance
sheets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 1998, did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim
periods subsequent to December 31, 1998 through November 23,
1999, there were no disputes between the Company and KPMG as to
matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or audit scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG,
would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter
of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the
financial statements for such periods. KPMG has furnished the
Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating that
it agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter is
included as an exhibit to this Report on Form 8-K.
(b) The Company has engaged the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as
independent accountants for the Company's fiscal year ending
December 31, 1999 to replace KPMG. The Company's Board of
Directors approved the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as
independent accountants upon recommendation of the Company's
Audit Committee.
