If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

	(a)	The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
ý	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Alliance Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) hereby requests an extension of time to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 (the “December 31 Form 10-Q”).  As previously disclosed, the Company was unable to file the December 31 Form 10-Q by February 9, 2006, without unreasonable effort or expense, primarily because additional time is required in order to finalize the extensive accounting and review procedures being performed by the Company and its consultants in connection with both its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 and the December 31 Form 10-Q.  The procedures being performed by the Company and its consultants are consistent with the procedures implemented as part of the Company’s recently completed year end closing process.  The Company continues to dedicate significant resources to the preparation and finalization of both filings and currently anticipates that both filings will be made by March 24, 2006.
