Overview

        Scientific Games Corporation was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 2, 1984. We are a leading supplier of technology-based products, systems and services to gaming markets worldwide. We believe we offer our customers the widest array of technologically advanced products and services in each market we serve. We report our operations in three business segments: Printed Products Group, Lottery Systems Group, and Diversified Gaming Group.

Printed Products Group

        Our Printed Products Group is composed of our instant lottery ticket business and our prepaid phone card business.

        We believe we are the leading provider of instant lottery tickets in the world. Our instant ticket customers include 40 of the 42 U.S. jurisdictions that currently sell instant lottery tickets, and we have sold instant tickets and related services to lotteries in over 50 other countries. We believe that our innovative products and services allow lotteries to increase their retail sales of instant tickets.

        Instant ticket and related services include ticket design and manufacturing, as well as value-added services including game design, sales and marketing support, specialty games and promotions, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. We provide lotteries with access to some of the world's most popular entertainment brands, including Deal or No Deal™, Major League Baseball®, National Basketball Association, Harley-Davidson®, Wheel-of-Fortune®, Monopoly™, Corvette® and World Poker Tour®. We also provide lotteries with customized partnerships, or cooperative service programs, to help lotteries efficiently and effectively manage and support their operations to achieve greater retail sales and lower operating costs.

        We believe we are one of the largest suppliers of paper-based prepaid phone cards in the world. Prepaid phone cards utilize the secure process employed by us in the production of instant lottery tickets, which helps ensure the integrity and reliability of the product. Prepaid phone cards offer consumers in more than 50 countries worldwide a cost-effective way to purchase cellular airtime, without requiring wireless service providers to extend credit or consumers to commit to contracts.

Lottery Systems Group

        We believe we are a leading provider of sophisticated, customized computer software, equipment and data communication services to government-sponsored and privately operated lotteries in the U.S. and internationally. This business includes the provision of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of both instant and online lottery games, point-of-sale terminals, central site computers, communications technology, and ongoing support and maintenance for these products.

3

Central computer systems, terminals and associated software are typically provided in the U.S. through facilities management contracts and internationally through outright sales. We have contracts to operate online lottery systems for 15 of the 44 U.S. jurisdictions that operate online lotteries and we believe we are the second largest online lottery provider in Europe.

Diversified Gaming Group

        Our Diversified Gaming Group provides services and systems to private and public operators in the wide area gaming markets and in the pari-mutuel wagering industry. Our product offerings include server-based gaming machines (including our Nevada™ dual screen terminals, which can offer Great Britain regulated Category B2 or B3 content on the same machines), video lottery terminals ("VLTs"), monitor games, wagering systems for the pari-mutuel racing industry, sports betting systems and services and Great Britain regulated Category C Amusement With Prize ("AWP") and Skill With Prize ("SWP") terminals. Business units within the Diversified Gaming Group include: The Global Draw Limited and certain related companies ("Global Draw"), a leading supplier of gaming terminals, systems and monitor games to licensed bookmakers, primarily in the U.K., Austria and Mexico; Scientific Games Racing LLC, a leading worldwide supplier of computerized systems for pari-mutuel wagering; Games Media Limited ("Games Media"), our AWP and SWP terminal supplier to U.K. public house ("pub") operators; and our venue management gaming operations in Connecticut, Maine and the Netherlands.

Industry Overview

Lottery

        Lotteries are operated by domestic and foreign governmental authorities and their licensees in approximately 200 jurisdictions throughout the world. Currently, 44 U.S. jurisdictions have operating lotteries. Two of those jurisdictions, North Dakota and Puerto Rico, do not offer instant lottery games. Governments typically authorize lotteries as a means of generating revenues without the imposition of additional taxes. Net lottery proceeds are frequently set aside for particular public purposes, such as education, aid to the elderly, conservation, transportation and economic development. As proceeds derived from lottery ticket sales have become a significant source of funding for such programs, many jurisdictions have come to rely on such proceeds to support some of those public purposes.

        Although there are many types of lottery games worldwide, governmentally authorized lotteries may generally be categorized into three principal groups: instant ticket, online and traditional draw-type lotteries. An instant ticket lottery is typically played by removing a latex coating from a preprinted ticket to determine whether it is a winner. Online lottery games, such as Powerball®, are based on a random selection of a series of numbers. Online lottery prizes are generally based on the number of winners who share the prize pool, although set prizes are also offered. Online lotteries are conducted through a computerized system in which lottery terminals in retail outlets are continuously connected to a central computer system. Online lottery systems may also be used to validate instant tickets to confirm large prize levels and prevent duplicate payments, or separate instant ticket validation systems may be installed. In addition, lotteries may offer quick draw keno ("keno"), video lottery, sports and other lottery games. Keno is typically played every five minutes in restricted social settings such as bars and is usually offered as an extension of online lottery systems. Video lotteries are played on VLTs, featuring "line-up" and card games, typically targeted to locations such as horse and greyhound racetracks, bars, nightclubs and similar establishments. Video lotteries generally use a distinct system from an online lottery system for accounting, security and control purposes. In addition, in Oregon, several provinces in Canada and several countries outside the U.S., lotteries offer pari-mutuel or fixed odds wagers on various sports.

        During the U.S. lottery industry's fiscal year-end 2008 (which is June 30, 2008 for all but three states), U.S. online lottery retail sales totaled approximately $22.5 billion, and U.S. instant ticket lottery sales totaled approximately $30.1 billion. Based on international industry information, we estimate that international online lottery retail sales totaled approximately $166.0 billion and that international instant ticket lottery sales totaled approximately $58.3 billion during calendar year 2007. Industry data indicates that in the U.S. instant ticket retail sales have generally been growing faster than online games because of "instant" rewards rather than the delayed rewards of online games with periodic or weekly drawings, and also due to increased payouts and more frequent game introductions.

Wide Area Gaming

        The wide area gaming market refers to a collection of video lottery and other gaming markets in which gaming terminals are distributed across a large number of venues, with relatively few terminals per venue. This contrasts with casino-type venues, where hundreds or even thousands of gaming machines are housed in a single venue. The wide area gaming market is large and complements our wide area technology and service expertise. One of the key benefits of wide area gaming is the downloadable, centrally determined technology that allows for easy reconfiguration of game content on each terminal. Wide area gaming includes a number of regulatory categories including VLTs, server-based gaming terminals, AWP and SWP terminals and other gaming devices that are converging as networked video gaming terminals.

        Historically video lottery has included gaming terminals monitored by a central system, often accepting currency but only dispensing vouchers. In the U.S., these gaming terminals were originally deployed by lotteries in bars and restaurants and more recently in horse and greyhound racetracks (racinos). Video lottery has expanded in Europe and elsewhere to include gaming machines networked to central systems, often with game results being centrally determined. We believe our Global Draw system is highly adaptable and can be used in either publicly owned or privately operated video lottery venues.

        In Great Britain, licensed bookmakers may provide up to four regulated gaming machines per licensed betting shop. Prior to September 1, 2007, there were approximately 25,000 fixed odds betting terminals ("FOBTs") installed in the U.K. In September 2007, when the substantive provisions of Great Britain's Gambling Act of 2005 (the "Gambling Act") came into effect, bookmakers were able to deploy up to four machines of two defined categories known as B2 terminals, which is the new regulatory category for FOBTs, and B3 terminals, which is a new classification of short play cycle terminals with predominantly similar content to reel-based slot machines and a £500 maximum win (otherwise referred to as "jackpot" terminals). To comply with the new Great Britain gaming requirements, we replaced all of the 9,400 FOBTs owned by Global Draw with new dual-purpose Nevada™ terminals prior to September 1, 2007 and placed an additional 2,800 Nevada™ terminals into operation during 2008, bringing the total number of terminals operated by Global Draw to approximately 12,200. In addition to B2/B3 terminals, bookmakers in Great Britain and Austria also provide customers with the ability to wager on a variety of monitor games (including keno-style content).

        The wide area gaming industry in Great Britain also includes approximately 120,000 AWP terminals and 30,000 SWP terminals. Historically, nearly all of these AWP terminals were standalone, single game, analog mechanical spinning reel gaming devices. Because of the archaic nature of the analog AWP terminals, income from these machines had been declining an estimated 6-8% per year; however, in the fourth quarter of 2007, this business began to expand as analog AWP terminals started to be replaced with digital AWP terminals classified as category C or D gaming machines under the Gambling Act. The Gambling Act allows regulated category C gaming machines to be provided by suppliers to pubs on the basis of participation agreements for the first time. These new digital terminals provide players with a variety of games, which we manage through a downloadable, centrally

5

determined network. The expansion of games available to play on the digital AWPs is expected to attract new players. Some AWP terminals in Europe have been already been replaced with digital versions and the majority of AWP terminals are expected to be replaced with digital versions over the next few years. During 2007 and 2008, approximately 9,400 analog machines were replaced with digital machines in the U.K.

Pari-mutuel Wagering

        In pari-mutuel wagering, individuals bet against each other on horse races, greyhound races, jai alai matches and other events. Pari-mutuel wagering patrons place specific types of wagers (e.g., on a specified horse to win) and a patron's winnings are determined by dividing the total amount wagered, less a set commission, amongst the winners. Wagering is generally conducted at horse and greyhound racetracks, jai alai frontons, OTBs and casino racebooks or through licensed telephone and Internet account wagering operators. Licenses to conduct races and/or offer pari-mutuel wagering are granted by governments to private enterprises, non-profit racing associations and occasionally government organizations, including lotteries.

        Pari-mutuel wagering is currently authorized in 43 states in the U.S., Puerto Rico, all provinces in Canada and approximately 65 other countries around the world. Based on industry information, we estimate that pari-mutuel wagering in North America totaled approximately $17 billion in 2008, down from approximately $19 billion in 2007. We believe the decline in North American pari-mutuel wagering is primarily due to competition from other gaming activities such as casinos, lotteries and internet gambling and competition from other forms of individual and family entertainment such as movies, restaurants and the Internet, as well as the relative difficulty of attracting younger consumers to pari-mutuel wagering.

Prepaid Phone Cards

        Prepaid phone cards, which entitle cellular phone users to a defined value of airtime, offer consumers a convenient way to purchase cellular airtime. While less common in the U.S., prepaid phone cards offer consumers worldwide a cost-effective way to purchase cellular airtime without requiring phone companies to extend credit or consumers to commit to contracts. Because card access number theft is common, the security of the card is critical; our phone cards incorporate proprietary security technology originally developed for our instant lottery ticket operations.

Operational Overview

Printed Products Group

        Instant Ticket and Related Services.     In 1974, we introduced the first secure instant game ticket. Today, we believe we remain a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of instant tickets worldwide. We market instant tickets and related services to domestic and foreign lottery jurisdictions and commercial (non-lottery) customers. We presently have a contract with 40 of the 42 U.S. jurisdictions that sell instant lottery tickets and we provide instant tickets to North Carolina through its contract with GTECH Corporation ("Gtech"). In addition, we have sold instant lottery tickets to customers in over 50 countries. Our instant ticket contracts typically have an initial term of three to five years and frequently include multiple renewal options, which our customers generally exercise for additional periods ranging from one to five years. We typically sell our instant tickets for a per unit price or are paid a fee equal to a percentage of the retail value of the instant tickets sold. In 2008 and 2007, we sold approximately 38.7 billion and 31.5 billion, respectively, 2 × 4 inch equivalent instant tickets, of which approximately 49% and 40%, respectively, were sold outside the U.S. Some international customers purchase instant tickets as needed rather than through multi-game supply contracts.

6

        The instant tickets we manufacture are typically printed on recyclable ticket stock by a series of computer-controlled presses and ink-jet imagers, which we believe incorporate the most advanced technology and security currently available in the industry. Instant tickets generally range in size from 2 inches by 3 inches to ticket sizes as large as some calendars. Instant tickets are normally played by removing a latex coating to determine if they are winning tickets.

        The increased application of computer-based and communications technologies to the manufacturing and servicing of instant tickets continues to separate the printing of instant tickets from conventional forms of printing. We are generally recognized within the lottery industry as the leader in applying these technologies to the manufacturing and sale of instant tickets. In order to maintain our position as a leading innovator within the lottery industry, we intend to continue to explore and develop new technologies and their applications to instant lottery tickets and systems.

        We provide lotteries with access to some of the world's most popular entertainment brands, which help increase their instant ticket sales. Our entertainment brands include themed instant games such as Betty Boop™, The Pink Panther™, I Love Lucy®, Harley-Davidson®, Monopoly™ and Wheel of Fortune® to name a few. We also provide branded merchandise prizes, advertising, promotional support, turn-key drawing management and prize fulfillment programs. Popular brands offered as non-cash prizes for lottery players include Deal or No Deal™, Major League Baseball®, National Basketball Association, Corvette®, Jeopardy!® and World Poker Tour®.

        We pioneered the concept of providing lotteries with customized partnership programs, our cooperative services programs, whereby we manage a lottery's instant ticket operations as a means of reducing operating costs to the lottery, while increasing the lottery's retail sales. Cooperative services contracts bundle instant tickets, systems, facilities management and/or other services, including the design and installation of game management software, telemarketing, field sales, accounting, instant ticket game design, inventory and distribution, sales staff training, managing staff and advising with respect to security, maintenance, communication network and sales agent hot-line service for lottery jurisdictions.

        We have contracts for cooperative services with the U.S. jurisdictions of Arizona, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Under such contracts, we are typically paid a percentage of the lottery authority's total instant ticket revenues. Customers designate the services they want us to perform from a menu of cooperative services offered. Beginning in 2005, we expanded our cooperative service style offerings in Germany and now have contracts with four state lotteries.

        We also applied our cooperative service programs in Italy as a member of Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali ("CLN"), a consortium consisting principally of ourselves, Lottomatica S.p.A, and Arianna 2001, a company owned by the Federation of Italian Tobacconists. CLN has a signed contract with the Italian Monopoli di Stato to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant ticket lottery (the "Concession"). The Concession commenced in mid-2004 and has an initial term of six years with a six-year extension at the option of the Monopoli di Stato. Under our contract with CLN, we supply instant lottery tickets, game development services, marketing support, and the instant ticket management system and systems support during the term of the Consession, including any renewal term. We participate in the profits or losses of CLN as a 20% equity owner, and assist Lottomatica S.p.A in the lottery operations. Retail sales have improved from approximately $18.5 million per week at the start of our operation with CLN to approximately $222.8 million per week currently, an overall improvement of approximately 1,104%.

        In 2007, we acquired a 49% interest in a newly formed joint venture in China, which has established an instant ticket manufacturing facility that is expected to produce instant lottery tickets for sale to the China Sports Lottery for a 15-year period beginning in 2009. In addition, we entered into a separate arrangement to sell instant tickets directly to the China Sports Lottery for a temporary period

7

of time between March 2008 and December 2008. During 2008, we recorded approximately $40.2 million in revenue from the China Sports Lottery as a result of this temporary arrangement. In addition, during 2007, we established a joint venture with Shandong Inspur Scientific Games Technology, Ltd. ("SIST") and began providing cooperative services support in the Shangdong Province of China in the first half of 2008.

        Also during 2007, we acquired a 50% interest in Guard Libang, a leading provider of instant lottery ticket validation systems and certain cooperative services to the Chinese Welfare Lottery in China.

        Phone Cards.     We are a manufacturer of prepaid phone cards in Europe, which entitle cellular phone users to a defined value of airtime. Prepaid phone cards offer consumers worldwide a cost-effective way to purchase cellular airtime, without requiring phone companies to extend credit or consumers to commit to contracts. To deter fraud, our phone cards incorporate proprietary security technology originally developed for our lottery ticket operations. We sell our prepaid phone cards to phone companies for a per unit price.

Lottery Systems Group

        We believe we are a leading provider of sophisticated, customized computer software, equipment and data communication services to government-sponsored and privately operated lotteries in the U.S. and internationally. In the U.S., we typically provide the necessary equipment, software and maintenance services pursuant to long-term facilities management contracts that typically have a minimum initial term of five years, under which we are generally paid a fee equal to a percentage of the lottery's total retail sales of lottery tickets. Our U.S. contracts typically contain multiple renewal options that generally have been exercised by our customers. Internationally, we typically sell point-of-sale terminals and/or computer software to lottery authorities and may provide ongoing fee-based support services under long-term contracts.

        Our lottery systems utilize proprietary technology that facilitates high-speed processing of online wagers as well as validation of winning online and instant play tickets. Our lottery business includes the supply of transaction-processing software that accommodates instant ticket accounting and validation, and online lottery games, point-of-sale terminals, central site computers and communication platforms, and on-going operational support and maintenance services. We also provide software, hardware and support for sports betting systems, video lottery systems and the operation of credit card processing systems for non-lottery customers.

        We have contracts to operate online lottery systems for 15 of the 44 U.S. jurisdictions that operate online lotteries and we believe we are the second largest online lottery provider in Europe. Internationally, we have lottery systems operating in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. During 2008, the lottery in Connecticut awarded us a new five-year online lottery contract until 2013, at which time the contract will be subject to five additional one-year renewal options. In late 2007 and in 2008, the lotteries in South Carolina, West Virginia and South Dakota awarded new online lottery contracts to other vendors. Our contract with South Carolina ended on November 15, 2008 and our existing contracts with the West Virginia and South Dakota lotteries terminate on June 27, 2009 and August 2, 2009, respectively.

        Also during 2008, the lottery in Pennsylvania initially awarded a new online contract to another vendor. The Pennsylvania lottery later suspended contract negotiations with the other vendor and, after soliciting "best and final" offers from both vendors, awarded us a new five-year online lottery contract beginning in 2009 with five one-year renewal options (the first of which the lottery exercised, which extended the term of the contract through 2014). The other vendor protested the award of the contract to us and also filed a lawsuit seeking judicial review of the procurement process leading to the award.

8

The court enjoined the Pennsylvania lottery from executing the new contract until the other vendor's bid protest was administratively resolved. The administrative hearing officer denied the other vendor's protest on December 12, 2008, after which we and the lottery executed the new contract. The other vendor has appealed this decision in court. In December, the lottery also issued an emergency purchase order extending the previous contract for up to one year in the event the other vendor's appeal is successful.

        In 2008, we were awarded a contract to provide the China Sports Lottery with a central instant ticket validation system on which we get paid a percentage of retail sales.

Diversified Gaming Group

        Wide Area Gaming.     We believe we are a leading supplier of wide area gaming systems and terminals to licensed bookmakers in the U.K. and Austria. We provide bookmakers with a turnkey offering which includes remote management of the game content and management information, wagering terminals, central computer system, data communications, and field support service. We develop game content through our own staff in Austria and Australia, and we contract with other gaming suppliers for additional content. Our contracts are for an initial period of two to four years under which we are typically paid a fee equal to a percentage of our customer's revenues generated from wagers on each terminal. Global Draw operates approximately 12,200 terminals in the U.K. We believe Global Draw's Nevada™ terminals achieve higher revenue levels for Global Draw's customers than those provided by the competition in part because the Nevada™ terminal provides customers the flexibility of switching from B2 to B3 content to enhance their revenue, along with superior field service and game content. Global Draw has recently begun to expand into Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia.

        In the U.K. digital AWP and SWP industry, we develop our own game content and contract with third-party game developers and game content providers. This game content is then programmed into digital gaming terminals that are manufactured for us by a third party, and then supplied as part of a digital gaming product offering (which includes SWP terminals, digital jukeboxes and pool tables) to pubs. In late 2007, we began to offer full facilities management contracts to U.K. pub operators and now have approximately 1,450 digital AWP terminals installed to date with almost 600 pub operators.

        Pari-mutuel Wagering.     We believe we are a leading worldwide provider of high-volume, real-time transaction processing pari-mutuel wagering systems to licensed pari-mutuel operators. We provide our systems and services to horse and greyhound racetracks, OTBs, casinos, jai alai frontons, telephone and Internet account wagering operators and other establishments where pari-mutuel wagering is permitted.

        In the United States, Germany and Ireland, we typically provide the necessary equipment, software and maintenance services pursuant to long-term facilities management contracts that typically have a minimum term of five years, under which we are generally paid a fee equal to a percentage of the amount wagered on a particular event. These fees have a weighted-average of approximately 0.36% of the amounts wagered. In addition, fees may be charged for extra equipment and services, particularly for new terminal models and equipment levels or services that exceed those originally contracted for. We have generally been successful in renewing these contracts, although, in late 2007 and late 2008, Woodbine Racetrack in Ontario, Canada and Fairgrounds Racetrack in New Orleans awarded new pari-mutuel contracts to other vendors. Internationally, we typically sell pari-mutuel wagering systems to licensed pari-mutuel operators and may provide ongoing fee-based support services under long-term contracts. Each of these systems is customized to meet the unique needs of our customers, including game designs, regulatory requirements, language preferences, network communication standards and other key system requirements.

9

        Our pari-mutuel systems utilize proprietary technology that facilitates high-speed processing of wagers made on a particular event over secure, high-speed communication channels and the calculation and display of betting odds on a particular event. Our systems link multiple racetracks and OTBs to one another, which enable operators to increase their revenues. Our pari-mutuel wagering business includes the supply of transaction-processing software, wagering terminals, central site computers and communication hardware, and on-going operational support and maintenance services. Our central site computers have historically been located in regional hubs or, in some cases, at the racetrack itself, depending on regulatory requirements. In 2006, we began migrating these systems into two new special purpose enterprise-level computing data centers. One data center is located in Sacramento, CA and another in Mount Laurel, NJ. By the end of the migration process, pending certain regulatory approval, we expect that all U.S.-based systems will operate from these two data centers while separate systems will remain in Canada and Puerto Rico.

        Venue Management.     We own and have the right to operate in perpetuity substantially all off-track pari-mutuel wagering in Connecticut, subject to our compliance with certain licensing requirements. Our Connecticut operations, with total wagers of approximately $219.0 million in 2008, consist of ten OTB facilities, including video simulcasting at three teletheaters and seven other branches, and telephone account wagering for customers in 11 states. We hold one of five OTB licenses within the state of Maine. We are also the exclusive licensed operator for all pari-mutuel wagering in the Netherlands, which totaled approximately $44 million in 2008, originating from four racetracks and 29 OTBs under a contract through June 2013. Our revenues are based on a percentage of the amounts wagered at or through our facilities, which ranges from 21% in Connecticut to 23% in the Netherlands, depending on the location of the wagering event and the type of wager made.

        As previously announced, our Board of Directors has engaged a financial advisor to assist in reviewing strategic alternatives for our pari-mutuel wagering and venue management businesses. We expect to consider and evaluate available alternatives during the review including, but not limited to, the sale of those businesses. We have not set any timetable for the conclusion of this strategic review and do not intend to comment further publicly with respect to this process unless and until a specific alternative is approved by our Board. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in the announcement or consummation of any sale or other transaction.

        For additional information concerning our business and geographic segments, see our Business and Geographic Segments footnote included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Contract Procurement

Lottery

        Government authorized lotteries in the U.S. typically operate under state-mandated public procurement regulations. See "Government Regulation." Lotteries select an instant ticket or online supplier by issuing a request for proposal, or RFP, which outlines contractual obligations as well as products and services to be delivered. An evaluation committee frequently comprised of key lottery staff evaluates responses based on various criteria. These criteria usually include quality of product and/or technical solutions, security plan and features, experience in the industry, quality of personnel and services to be delivered, and price. We believe that our product functionality, game content, the quality of our personnel, our technical expertise and our demonstrated ability to help the lotteries increase their revenues may give us an advantage relative to the competition when responding to state lottery RFPs. However, many lotteries still award the contract to the qualified vendor offering the lowest price, regardless of factors other than price. Contract awards by lottery authorities are sometimes challenged by unsuccessful competitors, which can result in protracted legal proceedings. Internationally, lottery authorities do not always utilize such a formal bidding process, but rather negotiate with one or more potential vendors.

10

        U.S. instant ticket lottery contracts typically have an initial term of three to five years and frequently include multiple renewal options, which our customers have generally exercised for additional periods ranging from one to five years. Our U.S. online lottery contracts typically have a minimum initial term of five years, with additional renewal options that may extend up to ten years. The length of these lottery contracts, together with their renewal options, limits the number of contracts available for bidding in any given year. The table below lists the U.S. lottery contracts for which we had executed agreements as of January 15, 2009 and certain related information. We are the exclusive provider of systems in all online and video lottery contracts and the primary supplier of instant tickets unless otherwise noted. The commencement date of the current contract is the date we began generating revenues under such contract, which for our online contracts is typically the start-up date. The table also includes instant ticket or online retail sales, as applicable, for each state or district.

Wide Area Gaming

        Contract awards by the major bookmakers in the U.K. often involve a competitive bid process. Major bookmakers have typically awarded the majority of their terminal installations to a single vendor. Contracts with major bookmakers are typically for a term of four years.

        In the U.K. analog AWP and SWP industry, machine operators purchase terminals based on the relative performance of competing products, and the desires of pub operators. As this business continues to migrate to digital technology and takes on the characteristics of the U.K. bookmaker business, we expect the contract award process will be similar to that in the U.K. bookmaker business.

Pari-mutuel Wagering

        Contract awards by owners of horse and greyhound racetracks, OTBs and casinos and jai alai frontons, and from state and foreign governments, often involve a lengthy competitive bid process,

12

spanning from specification development to contract negotiation and award. Our contracts for the provision of pari-mutuel systems services in North America are typically for terms of five years.

        Our license to provide on-track and off-track services in the Netherlands extends through June 2013. New venue management opportunities generally occur via the privatization of existing government operated OTBs, as in the cases of Connecticut and the Netherlands, the acquisition or outsourcing of an existing private racetrack or OTB operation, as with our 2005 acquisition of the OTB in Maine and the Shoreline Star Greyhound Park and Simulcast Facility ("Shoreline") in Connecticut, or new legislation or regulation enabling new distribution channels. These opportunities occur infrequently and may be subject to public procurement bidding requirements.

Prepaid Phone Cards

        Our telecommunications products customers issue purchase orders with agreed upon terms and conditions. In addition, certain customer purchase orders contain multiple delivery dates.

Research and Product Development

        We believe our ability to attract new lottery, wide area gaming and pari-mutuel wagering customers and retain existing customers depends in part on our ability to continue to incorporate technological advances into, and to improve, our products, systems and related equipment. We maintain a development program directed toward systems development as well as toward the improvement and refinement of our present products and the expansion of their uses and applications. Many of our product developments and innovations have quickly become industry standards, including games for Printed Products and multiplier games for Lottery Systems.

Intellectual Property

        We have a number of U.S. and foreign patents that we consider, in the aggregate, to be of material importance to our business. Patents extend for varying periods of time according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. In the U.S., the term of a patent generally expires 20 years from the date of filing. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country.

        Certain technology material to our lottery and pari-mutuel wagering products, processes and systems is the subject of patents issued, and patent applications currently pending, in the U.S. and certain other countries. In our lottery business, we utilize our patented and patent-pending technology for the production, secure printing, validation and distribution of instant lottery tickets. In our pari-mutuel and diversified gaming businesses, our patent-pending systems and methods provide racing and wagering data and related information. In addition, our MDI Entertainment, LLC ("MDI"), Global Draw and Games Media businesses patent and license game content as part of their businesses. Most of our material patents are not scheduled to expire until 2013 or later. We also have a number of U.S. and foreign registered trademarks and other common law trademark rights for certain of our products and services, including Delivering Serious Fun!™, Winner's Choice™, Play Central™, SciScan Technology®, Aegis®, Wave™, BetJet®, EXTREMA®, SGI-NET™, QUANTUM™, SAM®, STAN®, MAX™, TINY TIM®, On the Wire®, Autotote® and others. Trademark protection continues in some countries, including the U.S., for as long as the mark is used and in other countries for as long as it is registered. Registrations generally are for fixed, but renewable, terms.

        From time to time we become aware of potential infringement of our intellectual property by competitors and other third parties and consider what action, if any, to take in that regard, including, where appropriate, litigation. Historically, others have threatened and even brought litigation against us.

Production Processes, Sources and Availability of Components

        Our dedicated computer-controlled printing process is specifically designed to produce secure instant lottery game tickets for government sanctioned lotteries and promotional games as well as prepaid phone cards. Our facilities are designed for efficient, secure production of instant game tickets and support high-speed variable image printing, packaging and storage of instant game tickets. Instant ticket games are delivered finished and ready for distribution by the lottery authority, or by us in the jurisdictions that are part of an instant ticket contract with cooperative services. Paper and ink are the principal raw materials consumed in our ticket manufacturing operations. We have a variety of sources for both paper and ink and, therefore, should not be dependent on any particular supplier.

        Production of our lottery, wide area gaming and pari-mutuel wagering terminals and related component products primarily involves the assembly of electronic components into more complex systems and products. We produce our lottery and pari-mutuel terminals at our manufacturing facility in Ballymahon, Ireland or at our manufacturing facility in Alpharetta, Georgia. Wide area gaming terminals and certain lottery terminals are purchased from third-party vendors, as needed.

        We normally have sufficient lead time between reaching an agreement to provide the required system and the commencement of operations so that we are able to provide the customer with a fully functioning system, customized to meet its requirements. In the event that current suppliers of central processing units were no longer available, we believe we would be able to adapt our application software to run on the then-available hardware in time to allow us to meet new contractual obligations, although the price competitiveness of our products might change. The lead time for obtaining most of the electronic components that we use is approximately 90 days. We believe that this is consistent with our competitors' lead times and is also consistent with the needs of our customers.

Competition

Printed Products Group

        Our principal instant lottery ticket competitors in the U.S. are Pollard Banknote Limited and GTECH Printing Corp., a subsidiary of Lottomatica, SpA. Except as permitted by the applicable provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement with respect to Canada and Mexico, it is currently illegal to import lottery tickets into the U.S. from a foreign country. Our business could be adversely affected should additional foreign competitors in Canada or Mexico export their lottery products to the U.S. or should other foreign competitors establish printing facilities in the U.S., Canada or Mexico to supply the U.S. Internationally, a few lottery instant ticket vendors compete with us including the competitors noted above.

        The prepaid phone card industry is highly fragmented, but competition comes from other instant ticket lottery printers, as well as alternative printing and non-printing technologies. There are alternative technologies such as smart cards or other alternative means to provide the funding of telephone services. We have re-engineered the prepaid card to more resemble our lottery products, which in turn has allowed us to reduce production costs.

Lottery Systems Group

        The online lottery business is highly competitive and continues to operate in a period of intense price-based competition.

        Our principal competitors in the U.S. online lottery systems industry are Gtech, a subsidiary of Lottomatica, SpA, and Intralot Technologies, Inc. ("Intralot"), a subsidiary of Intralot, S.A. Gtech is also our major competitor in the international online lottery industry, along with Intralot and International Lottery and Totalizator Systems, Inc.

14

Diversified Gaming Group

        Our wide area gaming business competes with a variety of suppliers in the U.K. and internationally. Principal direct competitors in the U.K. bookmaker business include Inspired Gaming Group plc and Cyberview Technology, Inc. In the U.K. AWP/SWP industry, we compete directly with other suppliers of gaming machines, including Barcrest, a division of International Game Technology ("IGT"); Bell-Fruit Games, Ltd., a division of Gamestec Leisure Limited; Inspired Gaming Group; and Games Warehouse Limited, a division of Merit Industries, Inc. As the U.K. pub industry transitions from analog to digital, we expect to compete with both the current competitors, as well as new competitors. In emerging wide area gaming markets we compete with video lottery and other gaming terminal suppliers. Our competitors in these markets include IGT International, Lottomatica, Bally Technologies Inc., Inspired Gaming Group, Cyberview Technology, Aristocrat Leisure Ltd, Novomatic Industries, AG, Octavian International and Multimedia Games, Inc.

        Our principal competitors in the North American pari-mutuel wagering systems business are AmTote International, Inc., principally owned by Magna Entertainment Corporation, and United Tote Company, a subsidiary of Youbet.com, Inc. Our competition outside of North America is more fragmented, with competition being provided by several international and regional companies. Current and future competitors in Internet-based wagering include Youbet.com, Inc. and Gemstar-TV Guide, Inc.

        Our venue management business competes with other pari-mutuel operators, as well as with casinos, lotteries and other forms of legal and illegal gambling, and other forms of entertainment within our licensed jurisdictions.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2008, we employed approximately 4,900 persons. Many of our U.S. pari-mutuel employees (approximately 280) involved in field operations are represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers under contract, extending through October 2009. Approximately 22 of our Canadian pari-mutuel employees are represented by the Service Employees International Union, which contract also extends through October 2009. Approximately 42 of our employees at one of our Connecticut OTB locations are represented by unions. The majority of our lottery employee groups are not represented by labor unions. However, our lottery employees in Austria are represented by a Worker's Council, which is typical of many European companies. In addition, unions represent 205 employees at our U.K. printing facility, 214 employees at our printing facility in Canada, 47 employees at our Australian printing facility and 119 employees at our printing facility in Chile.

Government Regulation

General

        Lotteries, pari-mutuel wagering, sports wagering, and wide area gaming may be lawfully conducted only in jurisdictions that have enacted enabling legislation. In jurisdictions that currently permit various wagering activities, regulation is extensive and evolving but customarily includes some form of licensing of an applicant and its subsidiaries, if any. Regulators in those jurisdictions review many facets of an applicant or holder of a license including, among other items, financial stability, integrity and business experience. We believe we are currently in substantial compliance with all regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions where we operate and where appropriate maintain obligations in our supply agreements with customers to allow us to monitor and help ensure ongoing compliance. Any failure to receive a material license or the loss of a material license that we currently hold could have a material adverse effect on our overall operations and financial condition.

15

        While we believe that our current and planned business activities comply with all applicable laws, law enforcement authorities in certain jurisdictions have opposed the expansion of wagering via telephone and the Internet. There can be no assurance that our activities or the activities of our customers will not become the subject of any law enforcement proceeding or that any such proceeding would not have a material adverse impact on us or our business plans.

        We have developed and implemented an internal compliance program in an effort to ensure that we comply with legal requirements imposed in connection with our wagering-related activities, as well as legal requirements generally applicable to all publicly traded companies. The compliance program is run on a day-to-day basis by our Chief Compliance Officer with legal advice provided by our General Counsel and outside experts. The compliance program is overseen by the Compliance Committee of our Board of Directors, consisting of three outside directors. While we are firmly committed to full compliance with all applicable laws, there can be no assurance that such steps will prevent the violation of one or more laws or regulations, or that a violation by us or an employee will not result in the imposition of a monetary fine or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses.

        In the last two years, new legislation was passed or has come into effect in the United States and Great Britain that may impact various aspects of our business. In Great Britain, the Gambling Act was fully implemented on September 1, 2007. Among other things, the Gambling Act requires specific licenses be obtained by operators in order to provide facilities for betting, gaming or participation in a lottery (whether conducted through remote or non-remote means) for certain "key personnel" managing the licensed activity, as well as premises licenses for pubs, betting offices and other adult gaming centers. The Gambling Act has also specified different categories of gaming machines, and the Gambling Commission has issued the technical specifications and standards with which each type of gaming machine, system and game content software must comply, through a phased implementation of third party testing. Although we are confident that Global Draw, Games Media and our sports wagering and pari-mutuel businesses hold the necessary operational licenses and are themselves supplied through properly licensed entities in compliance with the requirements of the Gambling Act, this legislation has not yet been subject to judicial interpretation and, therefore, certain aspects of the legislation remain unclear. Moreover, in addition to the risk of enforcement or investigative action in the case of any complaints received by the Gambling Commission, we are also at risk of loss of business reputation in the event of any potential legal or regulatory investigation, whether or not we are ultimately accused of or found to have committed any violations.

        Similarly, in the United States, Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. Among other things, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act prohibits the transmission of any wager, at least in part, by means of the Internet where such wager is prohibited by any applicable law where initiated, received or otherwise made. It imposes potentially severe criminal and civil sanctions on the owners and operators of such systems and on financial institutions processing wagering transactions. The law does contain a safe harbor for wagers placed within a single state (disregarding intermediate routing of the transmission) where the method of placing the bet and receiving the bet is authorized by that state's law, provided the underlying regulations establish appropriate age and location verification. The regulations implementing the law went into effect in January 2009.

        In France, Germany and elsewhere in the European Union, enforcement actions and pronouncements, statutory enactments and court decisions have raised questions about the ability of European national governments to grant monopolies to lotteries or to limit extra-jurisdictional gaming where gaming is allowed in that country.

        Currently, account wagering operations, through which pari-mutuel customers place wagers by phone or via the Internet on thoroughbred, harness or greyhound racing, may be conducted only from certain jurisdictions and only through licensed wagering operators in certain jurisdictions. While we believe that the activities of our pari-mutuel and gaming businesses comply with all applicable laws, law enforcement authorities in certain jurisdictions have opposed the expansion of wagering via telephone

16

and the Internet. Where state or other regulators have expressed concerns to us regarding such wagering by their citizens through our account wagering systems and the racetracks serviced by our pari-mutuel wagering systems, we have ceased operations in those jurisdictions in a manner that anticipated the safe harbor principles later adopted in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. There can be no assurance that our activities or the activities of our customers will not become the subject of law enforcement proceedings or that any such proceedings would not have a material adverse impact on us or our business plans.

        While we believe that we have developed the proper procedures and policies to comply with the requirements of these evolving laws and legal pronouncements, we can give no assurance that law enforcement or gaming regulatory authorities will not seek to restrict our business in their jurisdictions or even institute enforcement proceedings.

Lottery Operations

        At the present time, 44 U.S. jurisdictions, all the Canadian provinces, Mexico, China and many other foreign countries, including all countries in Europe, authorize lotteries. Lottery contracts and operations of lotteries both domestically and abroad are subject to extensive regulation. Although certain of the features of a lottery, such as the percentage of gross revenues that must be paid back to players in prize money, are usually set by legislation, the various lottery regulatory authorities generally exercise significant discretion, including the determination of the types of games played, the price of each wager, the manner in which the lottery is marketed and the selection of vendors for equipment, technology and services, and retailers of lottery products. Furthermore, laws and regulations applicable to lotteries in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are subject to change, and the effect of such changes on our ongoing and potential operations cannot be predicted with certainty.

        To ensure the integrity of the contract award and wagering process, most jurisdictions require detailed background disclosure on a continuous basis from, and conduct background investigations of, the vendor, its officers and directors, its subsidiaries and affiliates and its principal stockholders. Background investigations of the vendor's employees who will be directly responsible for the operation of the system are also generally conducted, and most states reserve the right to require the removal of employees whom they deem to be unsuitable or whose presence they believe may adversely affect the operational security or integrity of the lottery. Certain jurisdictions also require extensive personal and financial disclosure and background checks from persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage (typically five percent or more) of a vendor's securities. The failure of beneficial owners of our securities to submit to background checks and provide such disclosure could result in the imposition of penalties upon these beneficial owners and could jeopardize the award of a lottery contract to us or provide grounds for termination of an existing lottery contract.

        From time to time we retain governmental affairs representatives in various states of the U.S. to advise legislators and the public concerning our views on lottery legislation, to monitor such legislation and to advise us in our relations with lottery authorities. We also make political contributions to various state political parties and state political candidates.

        The award of lottery contracts and ongoing operations of lotteries in international jurisdictions are also extensively regulated, although this regulation usually varies from that prevailing in the U.S. Restrictions are frequently imposed on foreign corporations seeking to do business in such jurisdictions and, as a consequence, we have, in a number of instances, allied ourselves with local companies when seeking foreign lottery contracts. Laws and regulations applicable to lotteries in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are subject to change, and the effect of such changes on our ongoing and potential operations cannot be predicted with certainty.

17

Wide Area Gaming

        The existing and emerging wide area gaming industry is governed by gaming regulations. Coin or voucher operated gambling devices offering electronic, video versions of spinning reels, poker, blackjack and similar games include VLTs, server-based gaming terminals, AWPs, and SWPs. Thirteen U.S. states authorize wagering on VLTs at state regulated and licensed facilities. Although some states currently restrict VLTs to already existing wagering facilities, others permit these devices to be placed at bars, restaurants, and specific licensed gaming facilities. In addition, all of the Canadian provinces and various other foreign countries have authorized their use.

        Companies that manufacture, sell or distribute VLTs or provide the central computer systems that monitor these devices are subject to various provincial, state, county and municipal laws and regulations. The primary purposes of these rules are (1) to ensure the responsibility, financial stability and character of companies involved and their officers and directors and stockholders through licensing requirements, (2) to ensure the integrity and randomness of the machines, and (3) prohibit the use of VLTs at unauthorized locations or for the benefit of undesirable individuals or entities.

        In Great Britain, the regulation of gaming activity has recently undergone significant change. The provisions of the Gambling Act were fully implemented in September 2007. Among other provisions, the Gambling Act regulates the type of licensed activity that is carried out by operators, the licensing of the various types of venues for the conduct of licensed gaming activities, the types of gaming activities, the categories and number of gaming machines allowed in each type of venue and the licensing and regulation of the supply and operation of those machines and other gaming activities. These regulations allow for some expansion of gaming in controlled environments (including the establishment of additional national and local casinos) and limits on the type of activities and number of gaming machines and gaming activities allowed in other venues. Under the Gambling Act, each category of gaming machine and individual operators are subject to regulation (including regulation covering the minimum technical specifications of machines) and specific licensing requirements.

        The Gambling Act allows operators of licensed betting offices to make available for use up to a maximum of four gaming machines from two defined categories known as B2 machines and new B3 machines. Global Draw supplies state of the art proprietary Nevada™ terminals that provide the operator the flexibility of offering either B2 or B3 game content, increasing the variety and types of game content that are made available, including the ability to switch from one designation to the other depending on customer demand and the operator's preferences. Global Draw will also continue to offer its monitor game products (which offer fixed odds bets on virtual random number based events) under the general betting provisions of the Gambling Act.

        In addition, the Gambling Act implements a regime for pubs, which will be limited to category C gaming machines (the category into which AWPs previously fell, although for the first time AWPs/category C machines can be supplied under participation agreements). This has allowed expansion into a new generation type of networked category C gaming machine operating digital content in pubs. The Gambling Act also provides some scope for other "soft" gaming activities to be conducted in pubs including some pool betting and social lotteries. Pubs will also continue to operate SWPs, which continue to fall outside of the scope of the Gambling Act.

Pari-mutuel Wagering

        At present, 44 U.S. jurisdictions, all of the Canadian provinces, Mexico and many other foreign countries have authorized pari-mutuel wagering on horse races, and 16 states and many foreign countries, including Mexico, authorize pari-mutuel wagering on greyhound races. In addition, Florida and Mexico also allow pari-mutuel wagering on jai alai matches.

        Companies that manufacture, distribute and/or operate pari-mutuel wagering systems in these jurisdictions are subject to the regulations of the applicable regulatory authorities in such jurisdictions.

18

These authorities generally require a company, as well as its directors, officers, certain employees and holders of five percent or more of its common stock, to obtain various licenses, permits and approvals. Regulatory authorities may also conduct background investigations of a company and its key personnel and stockholders in order to ensure the integrity of the wagering system. These authorities have the power to refuse, revoke or restrict a license for any cause they deem reasonable. The loss of a license in one jurisdiction may cause a company's licensing status to come under review in other jurisdictions as well.

        In order for any of our subsidiaries to provide pari-mutuel wagering equipment and/or services to casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the subsidiary must be licensed by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, or the Casino Commission, as a gaming-related casino service industry in accordance with the New Jersey Casino Control Act, or the Casino Control Act, and by the New Jersey Racing Commission. An applicant for a gaming-related casino service industry license is required to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, financial stability, integrity and responsibility, good character, honesty and integrity, and sufficient business ability and experience to conduct a successful operation. We must also qualify under the standards of the Casino Control Act. We and any of our applicant subsidiaries may also be required to produce such information, documentation and assurances as required by the regulators to establish the integrity of all our directors, officers and financial backers, who may be required to seek qualification or waiver of qualification. For affiliates of New Jersey casinos, the Casino Commission traditionally has waived the qualification requirement for investors holding less than 15% of a debt issue. For institutional investors, the Casino Commission has traditionally waived the qualification requirement for holders if their positions are not more than 20% of the issuer's overall debt and not more than 50% of the specific debt issue. There can be no assurance, however, that the Casino Commission will waive any qualification requirement for any holder.

        The Casino Commission has broad discretion in licensing matters and may at any time condition a license or suspend or revoke a license or impose fines upon a finding of disqualification or non-compliance. The Casino Commission may require that persons holding five percent or more of our Class A common stock or instruments convertible into Class A common stock qualify under the Casino Control Act. Under the Casino Control Act, a security holder is presumed to control a publicly traded corporation if the holder owns at least five percent of the corporation's equity securities; however, for passive institutional investors, qualification is generally not required for a position of less than 10% and, upon a showing of good cause, qualification may be excused for a position of 10% or more. Failure to qualify could jeopardize our license. In addition, the New Jersey Racing Commission also licenses our subsidiary and retains concurrent regulatory oversight over this subsidiary with the Casino Commission.

        Our rights to operate the Connecticut OTB system are conditioned on our continuing to hold all licenses required for the operation of the system. In addition, our officers and directors and certain other employees must be licensed. Licensees are generally required to submit to background investigations and provide required disclosures. The Division of Special Revenue of the State of Connecticut, or the Division, may revoke the license to operate the system under certain circumstances, including a false statement in the licensing disclosure materials, a transfer of ownership of the licensed entity without Division approval and failure to meet financial obligations. The approval of the Connecticut regulatory authorities is required before any off-track betting facility is closed or relocated or any new branch or simulcast facility is established. Our telephone wagering operations, based in Connecticut, are subject to the Division's regulation. We have expanded the market for our "business-to-consumer" On the Wire® account wagering business through our Connecticut OTB system to 11 states.

        While in the past we have been the subject of enforcement proceedings instituted by one or more regulatory bodies, we have been able to consensually resolve any such proceedings upon the implementation of remedial measures and/or the payment of settlements or monetary fines to such bodies. However, there can be no assurance that similar proceedings in the future will be similarly resolved, or that such proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our ability to retain and renew existing licenses or to obtain new licenses in other jurisdictions.

19

Application of Additional or Future Regulatory Requirements

        In the future, we intend to seek the necessary licenses, approvals and findings of suitability for us, our personnel and products in other jurisdictions throughout the world wherever significant sales are anticipated to be made. There can be no assurance, however, that such licenses, approvals or findings of suitability will be obtained or, if obtained, will not be conditioned, suspended or revoked or that we will be able to obtain the necessary approvals for any future products as they are developed. If a license, approval or a finding of suitability is required by a regulatory authority and we fail to obtain the necessary license, approval or finding, we may be prohibited from selling our products for use in the respective jurisdiction or may be required to sell our products through other licensed entities at a reduced profit.
