(1) All options were granted at a price equal to the fair market value of the
    Company's common stock on the date of grant.
 
(2) Amounts shown in these columns have been derived by multiplying the exercise
    price by the annual appreciation rate shown (compounded for the term of the
    options), multiplying the result by the number of shares covered by the
    options, and subtracting the aggregate exercise price of the options. The
    dollar amounts set forth under this heading are the result of calculations
    at the 5 percent and 10 percent rates set by the Securities and Exchange
    Commission, and therefore are not intended to forecast possible future
    appreciation, if any, of the Company's stock price.
 
(3) Mr. Perez left the Company in June 1998 and his options have expired.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
    The Company's Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Thomas E. Gardner
and Phil E. Bryan.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
    Directors who are not also employees of the Company receive a $25,000 annual
director's fee and are reimbursed for costs and expenses they incur to attend
board meetings. Directors who are not also employees of the Company are entitled
to participate in the Company's 1994 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan.
This plan is a formula stock option plan that provides for the initial grant of
a stock option covering 11,250 shares upon a person joining the Board and an
annual stock option grant covering 5,625 shares at each annual meeting of
shareholders. Each option granted has a ten-year term, vests equally over a two
year period and has an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date
of grant.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
    Decisions on compensation of the Company's executives generally have been
made by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the "Compensation
Committee") of the Board. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a
non-employee director. All decisions by the Compensation Committee
 
                                       5

relating to the compensation of the Company's executive officers are reviewed by
the full Board. Each executive officer who also serves as a director of the
Company abstains from the discussion and vote relating to his or her
compensation. Pursuant to rules designed to enhance disclosure of the Company's
policies toward executive compensation, set forth below is a report prepared by
the Compensation Committee addressing the Company's compensation policies for
the year ended December 31, 1997 as they affected the Company's executive
officers. The following report of the Compensation Committee, as well as the
Performance Graph set forth herein, are not soliciting materials, are not deemed
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and are not
incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), whether made before or after the date of this Proxy Statement
and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
 
    The Compensation Committee's executive compensation policies are designed to
provide competitive levels of compensation that integrate pay with the Company's
annual objectives and long-term goals, reward above-average corporate
performance, recognize individual initiative and achievements, and assist the
Company in attracting and retaining qualified executives. The Compensation
Committee intends to set executive compensation at levels that the Compensation
Committee believes to be consistent with others in the Company's industry.
 
    There are three elements in the Company's executive compensation program,
all determined by individual and corporate performance.
 
      Base salary compensation
     Annual incentive compensation
     Stock options
 
    Base salary compensation and increases are determined by the potential
effect the individual has on the Company, the skills and experiences required by
the job, and the performance and potential of the incumbent in the job.
 
    Effective in April 1996, the Compensation Committee instituted a bonus
incentive compensation plan which allows each executive to earn a percentage of
such executive's salary (up to 50%), payable quarterly, dependent upon the
Company's earnings performance for such fiscal year.
 
    Awards of stock grants under the Company's 1993 Stock Option and
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") are designed to promote the identity of long-term
interests between the Company's executives and its stockholders, and assist in
the retention of executives. The Plan also permits the Committee to grant stock
options to key personnel. Options become exercisable based upon criteria
established by the Company.
 
    While the value realizable from exercisable options is dependent upon the
extent to which the Company's performance is reflected in the market price of
the Company's common stock at any particular point in time, the decision as to
whether such value will be realized in any particular year is determined by each
individual executive and not by the Compensation Committee. Accordingly, when
the Committee recommends that an option be granted to an executive, that
recommendation does not take into account any gains realized that year by that
executive as a result of his or her individual decision to exercise an option
granted in a previous year.
 
    The Compensation Committee does not anticipate that any of the compensation
payable to executive officers of the Company in the coming year will exceed the
limits and deductibilities set forth in section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. The Compensation Committee has not established a
policy regarding compensation in excess of these limits, but will continue to
monitor this issue.

                            STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH
 
    The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") requires that the Company
include in this Form 10-K/A a line-graph presentation comparing cumulative,
five-year return to the Company's stockholders (based on appreciation of the
market price of the Company's common stock) on an indexed basis with (i) a broad
equity market index and (ii) an appropriate published industry or
line-of-business index, or peer group index constructed by the Company. The
following presentation compares the Company's common stock price from December
31, 1993 to December 31, 1998, to the S&P 500 Stock Index and a "peer group"
index created by the Company over the same period. The "peer group" index that
the Company believes is representative of its industry includes Acres Gaming,
Inc., Alliance Gaming Corporation, Anchor Gaming, GTech Holdings Corp.,
International Game Technology, Shuffle Master, Inc., Powerhouse Technologies,
Inc. (formerly know as Video Lottery Technologies, Inc.), WMS Industries, and
Silicon Gaming, Inc.
 
    In the graph, the presentation assumes that the value of an investment in
each of the Company's common stock, the S&P 500 Index, and the two peer group
indices was $100 on December 31, 1993, and that any dividends paid were
reinvested in the same security.
