ITEM 1: SECURITY AND ISSUER This Amendment No. 1 to the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on November 26, 2003 relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Scientific Games Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). ITEM 3: SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Item 3 is hereby amended by inserting the following immediately after the last paragraph thereof: On August 4, 2004, following the Conversion (as defined in Item 5), SGMS Acquisition Corporation ("SAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mafco Holdings Inc., increased the amount of Common Stock pledged to each of Bank of America and HSBC in connection with certain loan transactions. ITEM 4: PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 is hereby amended by inserting the following immediately after the last paragraph thereof: SAC elected to effect the Conversion in view of the fact that under the terms of the Series A Certificate, the Issuer would otherwise have had the right, beginning on or about August 21, 2004, to redeem all of the Series A Shares for 105% of the liquidation preference of those shares, which was approximately 34% of the market value of the Common Stock underlying the Series A Shares at the time of conversion. The Conversion will not affect SAC's right to designate up to four members of the Issuer's board of directors and to approve certain significant corporate transactions. SAC has no current intention of reducing its investment in the Issuer. ITEM 5: INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Item 5 is hereby amended by inserting the following immediately after the penultimate paragraph thereof: On August 3, 2004, SAC converted all of its 1,218,479 Series A Shares into 21,915,089 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series A Certificate (the "Conversion"). Concurrently with the Conversion, the Issuer redeemed all of SAC's 1,097.664 Series B Shares pursuant to the terms of the Series B Certificate for an aggregate redemption price of $1,097.67. According to the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, there were, as of May 7, 2004, 63,168,281 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Based on the foregoing, immediately following the Conversion, SAC had sole voting power and sole dispositive power over 25.8% of the Common Stock. 4 On August 5, 2004, Howard Gittis purchased 10,000 shares of Common Stock and Barry Schwartz purchased 5,000 shares of Common Stock, in each case in the open market. The average price paid by Mr. Gittis was $16.48 per share and the average price paid by Mr. Schwartz was $17.01 per share. In addition, the Issuer granted each of the New Directors 1,781 shares of restricted Common Stock on January 2, 2004 pursuant to its director compensation policies. 5 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
