Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The information contained under Item 2.02 in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Report"), including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and, as a result, such information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On February 1, 2017, Scientific Games Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing, among other things, selected preliminary expected results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2016. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company’s press release, in addition to containing selected preliminary expected results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), contains certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as that term is defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s press release includes the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, information reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP financial measure, a statement disclosing the reasons why the Company’s management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and a statement disclosing the additional purposes for which the Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in the press release should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the press release may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures, as well as other information in the press release, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD disclosure.

On February 1, 2017, the Company issued a press release relating to the proposed add-on offering of senior secured notes (the “Offering”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained under Item 7.01 in this Report, including Exhibit 99.2, is being furnished and, as a result, such information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

This Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any security in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

This Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon management's current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements, as discussed further in the press releases attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
