LAS VEGAS, Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or "the Company") today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Scientific
Games International, Inc. ("SGI"), intends, subject to market and other conditions, to commence an add-on offering of
$1.0 billion of 7.000% senior secured notes due 2022 (the "New Notes") in a private offering. The
New Notes will be issued under the same indenture pursuant to which SGI previously issued $950
million of its 7.000% senior secured notes due 2022 (the "Existing Notes"). The New Notes and the Existing Notes will be
treated as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers,
amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, will have terms identical to the Existing Notes, other than issue date and
offering price and will have the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as, and trade together with, the New Notes, except that the New
Notes issued in offshore transactions under Regulation S shall be issued and maintained under a temporary CUSIP number during a
40-day distribution compliance period commencing on the issue date.
Scientific Games intends to use the net proceeds of the New Notes offering to prepay a portion of its term loans under its
credit agreement, redeem or repurchase all of its outstanding senior subordinated notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and pay
accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus any related premiums, fees and costs, repay a portion of its revolving credit facility,
pay related fees and expenses of the New Notes offering and for general corporate purposes. The New Notes will be guaranteed on a
senior basis by Scientific Games and certain of its subsidiaries. The New Notes will be secured by liens on the same collateral
that secures indebtedness under Scientific Games' credit agreement. At this time, Scientific Games does not anticipate
repurchasing or redeeming any 2018 Notes on or prior to March 15, 2017. As a result, the 2018 Notes
are expected to remain outstanding, and will continue to accrue interest, until at least that date. Furthermore, Scientific Games
may elect not to repurchase or redeem 2018 Notes until a later date.
The New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state
securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States
except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. The New Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to
non-U.S. Persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes, nor
will there be any sale of the New Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in
accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

conditions, including declines in or slow growth of gross gaming revenues or lottery retail sales, reductions in or constraints
on capital spending by gaming or lottery operators and bankruptcies of, or credit risk relating to, customers; limited growth
from new gaming jurisdictions, declines in the replacement cycle of existing gaming machines and slow addition of casinos in
existing jurisdictions; ownership changes and consolidation in the gaming industry, including by casino operators; opposition to
legalized gaming or the expansion thereof; inability to adapt to, and offer products that keep pace with, evolving technology;
inability to develop successful gaming concepts and content; laws and government regulations, including those relating to gaming

inability to reduce or refinance our indebtedness; restrictions and covenants in our debt agreements, including those that could
result in acceleration of the maturity of our indebtedness; protection of our intellectual property, inability to license third
party intellectual property, and the intellectual property rights of others; security and integrity of our software and systems
and reliance on or failures in our information technology systems; natural events that disrupt our operations or those of our
customers, suppliers or regulators; inability to benefit from, and risks associated with, strategic equity investments and
relationships, including (i) the inability of our joint venture to realize the anticipated benefits under its private management
agreement with the Illinois lottery or from the disentanglement services performed in connection
with the termination thereof, (ii) the inability of our joint venture to meet the net income targets or other requirements under
its agreement to provide marketing and sales services to the New Jersey Lottery or otherwise to realize the anticipated benefits
under such agreement and (iii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits related to the award to our consortium of an instant
lottery game concession in Greece; failure to achieve the intended benefits of the Bally
acquisition or the WMS acquisition, other recent acquisitions, or future acquisitions, including due to the inability to
successfully integrate such acquisitions or realize synergies in the anticipated amounts or within the contemplated time frames
or cost expectations, or at all; disruption of our current plans and operations in connection with our recent acquisitions
(including in connection with the integration of Bally and WMS), including departure of key personnel or inability to recruit
additional qualified personnel or maintain relationships with customers, suppliers or other third parties; incurrence of employee
termination or restructuring costs, and impairment or asset write-down charges; changes in estimates or judgments related to our
impairment analysis of goodwill or other intangible assets; implementation of complex revenue recognition standards; fluctuations
in our results due to seasonality and other factors; dependence on suppliers and manufacturers; risks relating to foreign
operations, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (including those fluctuations related to the affirmative
vote in the U.K. to withdraw from the EU), restrictions on the payment of dividends from earnings, restrictions on the import of
products and financial instability, including the potential impact to our business resulting from the affirmative vote in the
U.K. to withdraw from the EU and the potential impact to our instant lottery game concession or VLT lease arrangements resulting
from the recent economic and political conditions in Greece; dependence on our key employees;
