  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
  April&nbsp;21, 2008, Elixir Gaming Technologies,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;)
  issued a press release announcing that on the same day it had entered into a
  Trade Credit Facility Agreement (the &#147;Agreement&#148;) with Elixir International
  Limited (&#147;Elixir International&#148;).&#160; Elixir
  International is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company&#146;s principal
  shareholder, Elixir Group Limited.&#160; The
  press release is attached to this Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1
  and is incorporated into this Item&nbsp;1.01 and the below Item&nbsp;2.03 by
  reference.</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
  Company and Elixir International entered into the Agreement for the purpose of
  providing for a formal structure pursuant to which Elixir International may,
  from time to time at its option, provide trade credits for electronic gaming
  machines offered to the Company in exchange for the Company&#146;s issuance of
  unsecured notes to Elixir International bearing interest at a fixed rate of
  eight percent (8%) per annum.&#160; Title of
  any gaming machines offered in exchange for the notes passes to the Company
  upon issuance of the notes.</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Upon
  entering into the Agreement, the Company immediately issued the first note
  pursuant to the terms of the Agreement in the principal amount of $15,000,000
  (the &#147;Initial Advance&#148;).&#160; The Initial
  Advance extinguished an existing current trade payable of equivalent amount to
  Elixir International in respect to gaming machines previously acquired.</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
  Company is obligated to repay the principal, plus any accrued interest thereon,
  of the Initial Advance in 24 equal monthly installments after the date of
  issue.&#160; However, the Initial Advance is
  subject to demand by Elixir International for immediate payment of any
  outstanding sums owed under it to Elixir International if there is either (i)&nbsp;an
  Event of Default (defined below) or (ii)&nbsp;a Change of Control (defined
  below).&#160; The Company and Elixir
  International expect that any further notes issued pursuant to the Agreement
  will be repaid in 24 equal monthly installments after the date of issue.&#160; However, any further notes, if issued, will
  be subject to demand by Elixir International for immediate payment of any
  outstanding sums owed under them to Elixir International at anytime and in the
  sole discretion of Elixir International.</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While
  it is the intention of the Company and Elixir International that further notes
  will be issued, the Agreement does not include a commitment on the part of
  Elixir International and all further borrowings by the Company are subject to
  the approval of Elixir International in its sole discretion.&#160; There can be no assurance of any further
  amount of credit obtainable by the Company under the Agreement.</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">An
  &#147;Event of Default&#148; occurs pursuant to the Agreement if, among other things, (i)&nbsp;the
  Company defaults in the payment when due of any principal or interest on any
  note issued pursuant to the Agreement; or (ii)&nbsp;the Company becomes
  insolvent or generally fails to pay or admit in writing its inability to pay
  its debts as they become due; or the Company applies for, consents to, or
  acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other custodian for

  Item
  1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
  .
  On
  April 21, 2008, Elixir Gaming Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
  issued a press release announcing that on the same day it had entered into a
  Trade Credit Facility Agreement (the "Agreement") with Elixir International
  Limited ("Elixir International").  Elixir
  International is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company's principal
  shareholder, Elixir Group Limited.  The
  press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1
  and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 and the below Item 2.03 by
  reference.
  The
  Company and Elixir International entered into the Agreement for the purpose of
  providing for a formal structure pursuant to which Elixir International may,
  from time to time at its option, provide trade credits for electronic gaming
  machines offered to the Company in exchange for the Company's issuance of
  unsecured notes to Elixir International bearing interest at a fixed rate of
  eight percent (8%) per annum.  Title of
  any gaming machines offered in exchange for the notes passes to the Company
  upon issuance of the notes.
  Upon
  entering into the Agreement, the Company immediately issued the first note
  pursuant to the terms of the Agreement in the principal amount of $15,000,000
  (the "Initial Advance").  The Initial
  Advance extinguished an existing current trade payable of equivalent amount to
  Elixir International in respect to gaming machines previously acquired.
  The
  Company is obligated to repay the principal, plus any accrued interest thereon,
  of the Initial Advance in 24 equal monthly installments after the date of
  issue.  However, the Initial Advance is
  subject to demand by Elixir International for immediate payment of any
  outstanding sums owed under it to Elixir International if there is either (i) an
  Event of Default (defined below) or (ii) a Change of Control (defined
  below).  The Company and Elixir
  International expect that any further notes issued pursuant to the Agreement
  will be repaid in 24 equal monthly installments after the date of issue.  However, any further notes, if issued, will
  be subject to demand by Elixir International for immediate payment of any
  outstanding sums owed under them to Elixir International at anytime and in the
  sole discretion of Elixir International.
  While
  it is the intention of the Company and Elixir International that further notes
  will be issued, the Agreement does not include a commitment on the part of
  Elixir International and all further borrowings by the Company are subject to
  the approval of Elixir International in its sole discretion.  There can be no assurance of any further
  amount of credit obtainable by the Company under the Agreement.
  An
  "Event of Default" occurs pursuant to the Agreement if, among other things, (i) the
  Company defaults in the payment when due of any principal or interest on any
  note issued pursuant to the Agreement; or (ii) the Company becomes
  insolvent or generally fails to pay or admit in writing its inability to pay
  its debts as they become due; or the Company applies for, consents to, or
  acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other custodian for
  itself or any of its property, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of
  its creditors; or a trustee, receiver or other custodian will otherwise be
  appointed for the Company or any of its assets and not be discharged within
  thirty (30) days; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other
  case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution
  or liquidation proceeding will be commenced by or against the Company and be
  consented to or acquiesced in by the Company or remain undismissed for thirty
  (30) days; or the Company will take any corporate action to authorize, or in
  furtherance of, any of the foregoing; or (iii) any judgments, writs,
  warrants of attachment, executions or similar process (not undisputedly covered
  by insurance) in an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000 will be issued or
  levied against the Company or any of its assets and will not be released,
  vacated or fully bonded prior to any sale and in any event within thirty (30)
  days after its issue or levy; or (iv) the Company becomes subject to
  pending or
  2
  threatened
  litigation, arbitration or a governmental litigation or proceeding, not
  previously disclosed to Elixir International, and such action could have a
  material adverse affect on the operation or financial condition of the Company.
  A
  "Change of Control" occurs pursuant to the Agreement if, among other things,
  after April 21, 2008: (i) any person or two or more persons acting in
  concert (other than Elixir International or its affiliates) acquire beneficial
  ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange
  Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
  50% or more (on a fully-diluted basis) of the combined voting power of all
  securities of the Company (other than securities owned by Elixir Group Limited
  or its affiliates) entitled to vote in the election of directors; or (ii) the
  sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) any sale
  of securities of the Company by Elixir Group Limited or its affiliates or any
  issuance of new securities by the Company resulting in the combined voting
  power of all securities of the Company (on a fully-diluted basis) owned by
  Elixir Group Limited or its affiliates falls below 30%.
