REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Participants of the IGT Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the IGT Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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 at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, 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 the audit of the basic 2004 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.

IGT Profit Sharing Plan

As of and For the Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
Notes to Financial Statements

1. Description of Plan

The IGT Profit Sharing Plan (Plan) is sponsored by International Game Technology (referred throughout these notes as IGT, we, our and us) 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 (IRC). The Plan, adopted December 10, 1980, is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of IGT. The Plan is administered by Fidelity Investments (Fidelity). Refer to “Investment Options” below for further information on available investment funds.

In September 2003, we completed our divestiture of United Tote. A trustee-to-trustee transfer of United Tote’s assets included $3.9 million in vested employee deferrals and $387,000 of employee loans. During 2003, we also divested of four other subsidiaries: Colorado Grande Casino, Colorado Central Casino, Anchor Coin Nevada slot route operations and IGT Online Entertainment Systems. There were no trustee-to-trustee transfers of assets for these divestitures.

Profit Sharing Program
IGT may make an annual profit sharing contribution, as determined by its Board of Directors, based on operating profits. The contribution is allocated to eligible participants’ accounts proportionately based on annual eligible compensation. Profit Sharing Program contributions vest according to the “Benefit Payments and Vesting” schedule below.

Our 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
On August 1, 2003, IGT increased the maximum amount participants may contribute to their accounts from 15% to 40% of their annual salary. Highly compensated employees may make elective deferral contributions up to 7% of their annual salary. Also, as of August 1, 2003, employees began making pre-tax contributions to their accounts upon completion of 30 days of full time employment, or one year or 1,000 hours of part-time employment. Prior to this date, employees were required to complete 90 days of full-time employment before being eligible to make pre-tax contributions to their accounts. A participant may discontinue contributions to the Plan at any time.

IGT’s 401(k) contribution matching program provides for the matching of 100% of an employee’s contributions up to $750 as determined by the Profit Sharing Committee. Employees are immediately 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.

Table of Contents

Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with employee 401(k) and employer matching contributions, allocations of IGT’s profit sharing contributions and forfeitures of non-vested portions of terminated participants’ profit sharing contributions, less Plan expenses. Additionally, participants’ accounts are affected by earnings and losses on investments.

Investment Options
The Profit Sharing Committee has selected fifteen 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. We invest employer profit sharing contributions in the Spartan® Money Market Fund until they are distributed annually to eligible participants. Once distributed, employer contributions are invested as directed by the participants. The Plan’s investment options are:

Retirement Money Market Portfolio
PIMCO Total Return Fund – Administration Class
Fidelity Puritan® Fund
Fidelity Equity-Income II Fund
Spartan® U.S. Equity Index Fund
Baron Asset Fund
Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund
Fidelity OTC Portfolio
FMA Small Company Portfolio
Fidelity Diversified International Fund
IGT Unitized Stock Fund
Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund – Class A
Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund
Credit Suisse Capital Appreciation
TRP Mid Cap Value

Benefit Payments and Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their tax deferred 401(k) contributions, 401(k) employer matching contributions, rollover contributions from other qualified plans, and the related earnings. Employer contributions to each participant’s profit sharing account vest based upon years of continuous service. A participant earns one year of vesting service for each Plan year (January 1 to December 31) in which he or she worked at least 1,000 hours. A participant is fully vested after seven consecutive years of service, based on the following schedule:

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

Upon termination of employment, a participant may receive a lump sum payment equal to the vested 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 becomes 100% vested and has the right to receive payment in full. If a participant leaves IGT for any other reason, he or she is entitled to a distribution only 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 Plan participants with balances less than $5,000 are required to make arrangements to remove their funds from the IGT Plan. A terminating participant may take a partial lump-sum payment and defer the balance of the account if 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 IGT’s Plan Administrator 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 six months following a hardship withdrawal.

Plan Termination
In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. Although IGT has not expressed any intent to do so, IGT has the right under the Plan to discontinue 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
    the loan amount may be 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%
    repayment must be over a period not to exceed 60 months

Loan repayments are made through bi-weekly payroll deductions.

Table of Contents

Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses paid by the Plan totaled $137,109 in 2004 and $126,586 in 2003, including management and trustee fees. Consulting fees and record keeping fees are paid by IGT.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash
Cash represents interest bearing cash held for the purpose of providing liquidity and satisfying daily participant requests related to the IGT Unitized Stock Fund, maintained in accordance with the Trust Agreement between IGT and Fidelity.

Investments, at Fair Value
All Plan investments are valued at quoted market prices as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. Investments include employer profit sharing contributions not yet distributed and participant investment options. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate and credit risk, as well as overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no participants who had requested a distribution but not been paid. Net assets available for benefits included $36.6 million and $38.7 million due to participants who have terminated employment but have not taken a distribution from the Plan.

3. Investments

Total Increase in Fair Value of Investments
  $ 4,508,664     $ 63,508,906  
 
           

5. Related Party Transactions

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the Plan and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan held 1,023,367 and 1,036,300 units of common stock of IGT, the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $53.1 million and $42.3 million.

6. Federal Income Taxes

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated January 21, 2000, that the Plan and related trust were designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the IRS determination letter; however, the Company and the Plan administrator believe that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
