On behalf of our client, Scientific Games Corporation (the “Company”), this letter sets forth the Company’s responses to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to the above-referenced filing received by letter dated March 28, 2011.  For your convenience, we have set forth each of the Staff’s original comments, received by letter dated March 28, 2011, immediately preceding our response.

 

Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference, page ii

 

1.              We note that you have incorporated by reference your Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The Form 10-K incorporates by reference its Part III information from your definitive proxy statement, which is not yet filed. In order to have a complete Section 10(a) prospectus, you must either file the definitive proxy statement or include the Part III information in an amended Form 10-K before the Form S-4 can be declared effective.

Response:

 

We note the Staff’s comment and advise that the Form S-4 is currently signed by Scientific Games International, Inc. (the “Member”), the sole member of MDI Entertainment, LLC (“MDI”), on behalf of MDI.   According to Section 6.1 of the Operating Declaration of MDI, effective as of May 22, 2003 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.15 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on August 11, 2009), the Member shall serve as the sole manager of MDI unless and until the Member elects or appoints one or more other persons to serve as manager.  Additionally, the manager shall have full and complete authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs, and properties of MDI, to make all decisions regarding those matters, and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of MDI’s business.  To date, the Member has not elected or appointed any other person to serve as a manager.  In addition, the Form S-4 is signed on behalf of Scientific Games International, Inc. by its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.  Therefore, we believe all required signatures of MDI have been provided on the Form S-4.
