INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


International Game Technology Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of International Game Technology Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2000
and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes on page 9 is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 2000 financial statements and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

INTERNATIONAL GAME TECHNOLOGY PROFIT SHARING PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 and 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      The International Game Technology (IGT) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan)
      is sponsored by International Game Technology (the Company) and consists
      of two programs: The Profit Sharing Program and the 401(k) Program. The
      following is a brief description of the Plan and provides general
      information. Participants should refer to the IGT Plan Document and
      Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's
      provisions.

      The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, and other provisions of the
      Internal Revenue Code.

      The Plan, adopted December 10, 1980, is a defined contribution plan
      covering all eligible employees of IGT. On June 1, 1993 the Plan was
      restated to offer additional investment options to participants as well as
      transfer the administration to a Third-Party Administrator. On April 1,
      1999, the Plan's Third-Party Administrator was changed to Fidelity
      Investments. Refer to "Investment Options" below for further information
      of available investment funds with Fidelity Investments.

      In September 1999, IGT purchased Sodak Gaming, Inc. (Sodak), a South
      Dakota distributor of casino gaming products. On October 1, 1999, Sodak
      employees became eligible to participate in the 401(k) Program. For Plan
      year 2000, Sodak employees became eligible for the Profit Sharing Program.

      Profit Sharing Program - The Company may make an annual profit sharing
      contribution, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, based on
      operating profits. The contribution is then allocated to participant's
      accounts proportionately based on annual eligible compensation. Refer to
      "Benefit Payments and Vesting" below for the Profit Sharing Program
      vesting schedule.

      Company employees are eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing
      Program after completing 1,000 hours of service in a calendar year and
      reaching the age of 18. Once eligible, a Plan participant must be employed
      on the last day of the Plan year (December 31) to receive their annual
      profit sharing allocation. Participation in the Plan is retroactive to
      January 1 of the year in which the employee became eligible.

      401(k) Program - Effective January 1, 1989, the Plan was amended to allow
      participants to defer up to 20% of their annual salary as contributions to
      their accounts, as governed by IRC Section 401(k). On January 1, 1995, the
      Company again amended the Plan to lower the elective deferrals from 20% to
      15%. On January 1, 1998, the Company amended the Plan to lower the
      elective deferrals for highly compensated employees to 7%. An employee may
      begin contributing pre-tax contributions to their accounts upon completion
      of 90 days of full time employment, or one year as a part-time employee. A
      participant may stop contributing to the Plan at any time by notifying the
      Third-Party Administrator.

      On January 1, 1993, the Company began a 401(k) contribution matching
      program whereby the Company matches 100% of an employee's contributions up
      to $500 and an additional 50% of the next $500 contributed by the
      employee. This allows for maximum annual Company matching contributions of
      $750 to each employee's account. Employees are 100% vested in all 401(k)
      contributions.



      The Plan also allows for rollover contributions from other qualified
      retirement plans. If the rollover is from an individual retirement
      arrangement, all assets in the prior retirement plan must have originated
      as contributions made under a qualified plan.

      Participant Accounts - Each participant's account is credited with
      employee 401(k) and employer matching contributions, the allocations of
      the Company's profit sharing contribution and forfeitures of non-vested
      portions of terminated participants' account balances. Additionally,
      participants' accounts are affected by earnings and losses on investments.
      Each participant is provided a quarterly account statement detailing the
      account activity by investment fund.

      Investment Options - The Company has selected thirteen investment options
      that have a variety of growth and risk characteristics. Plan participants
      are able to elect how their contributions are invested. A participant may
      allocate all contributions to one investment fund or split them between
      any combination of funds in increments of 1%. A participant may change how
      current and/or future contributions are invested at any time during the
      Plan year. The Plan's investment options are:

                  Retirement Money Market Portfolio
                  PIMCO Total Return Fund
                  Fidelity Puritan Fund
                  Fidelity Equity-Income II
                  Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund
                  Baron Asset Fund
                  Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund
                  Fidelity OTC Portfolio
                  UAM: FMA Small Company Portfolio
                  Fidelity Diversified International Fund
                  IGT Unitized Stock Fund
                  Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund
                  Investco Blue Chip Growth Fund

      The Company invests employer profit sharing contributions in Money Funds
      that are not yet allocated to participants and distributed.

      Benefit Payments and Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in
      their tax deferred 401(k) contributions, Company 401(k) matching
      contributions, and rollover contributions from other qualified plans, and
      the related earnings. The vested portion of a participant's profit
      sharing account is based upon years of continuous service. A participant
      is 100% vested after seven consecutive years of service, based on the
      following vesting table:

                    Completed Years
                    of Vesting Service          Vested Portion
                           0                           0%
                           1                          10%
                           2                          20%
                           3                          30%
                           4                          45%
                           5                          60%
                           6                          80%
                           7                         100%


      A participant earns a year of vesting service for each Plan year (January
      1 to December 31) in which he or she worked at least 1,000 hours.



      Upon termination of employment, a participant may receive a lump sum
      payment equal to the value of his or her account. If the termination of
      employment is by normal retirement (retirement after age 65), by death or
      by reason of total disability, the participant is 100% vested and has the
      right to receive payment in full. If a participant leaves the Company for
      any other reason, he or she is entitled to a distribution from the vested
      portion of his or her account.

      If a terminating participant's vested account balance totals $5,000 or
      more, he or she may voluntarily defer payment of benefits until the normal
      retirement date. In any case, he or she may not defer payment past the age
      of 70 1/2. The only form of benefit payments are lump-sum payments,
      however, a terminating participant may take a partial lump-sum payment and
      defer the balance of his or her account as long as the remaining balance
      is at least $5,000.

      Hardship Withdrawals - The Plan allows for hardship withdrawals under
      defined circumstances. The necessity of the hardship withdrawal is
      reviewed by the Company's Benefits Committee and includes allowance for
      major medical expenses, purchase of a primary residence, college expenses
      for a family member, and prevention of eviction from or foreclosure on a
      principal residence. A participant must stop making pre-tax 401(k)
      contributions for a year following the hardship withdrawal.

      Plan Termination - In the event of Plan termination, participants will
      become 100% vested in their accounts. Although the Company has not
      expressed any intent to do so, International Game Technology has the right
      under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
      terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

      Loans - The Plan allows for loans to be taken against a participant's
      vested account, subject to the following restrictions: the loan amount may
      be no less than $1,000 and no more than the lesser of 50% of the
      participant's vested account balance or $50,000; interest is charged on a
      simple interest basis at the prime rate plus 1%; and repayment must be
      over a period not to exceed 60 months. Payments are made by payroll
      deduction on a bi-weekly basis.

      Administrative Expenses - Plan administrative expenses totaling $74,397
      and $138,252 in 2000 and 1999, respectively, were paid by the Plan. These
      include management and trustee fees. Consulting fees and recordkeeping
      fees are paid by the Company.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Basis of Accounting - The Plan is accounted for on the accrual basis of
      accounting.

      Cash - The Short-term cash component of the IGT Unitized Stock Fund.

      Investments, at Fair Value - All investments of the Plan are valued at
      quoted market prices as of December 31, 2000 and 1999. Investments include
      employer profit sharing contributions not yet distributed, and participant
      investment options.

      Benefits Payable - As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, net assets available
