Q 080 Section 5 Trading update ARISTOCRAT#25NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Full year trading outlook Aristocrat full year outlook (1) We expect solid NPAT growth over the 2014 full year excluding one-off transaction related expenses Although new technical standards for Macau have been issued, these have been received relatively late in the half with timing of the resulting benefits and upside to the 2014 fiscal year remaining unclear. Should churn improve during the last quarter we expect there will be upside to the 2014 full year result We have risk-weighted our Japan contribution, as our major release, Black Lagoon 2TM, has not yet received regulatory approval. Should regulatory approval be achieved soon, a potential release in the last quarter of 2014 would also represent upside to our full year NPAT result Our Australian dollar to US exchange rate assumption for the full year remains at 91 cents In line with our strategy, we will incur an increased level of D&D investment in the second half We expect improving operational performance across key markets and segments, reflecting the carry-forward of a higher gaming operations installed base, strengthening fee per day and the impact of a full pipeline of compelling new game content We expect continued ship share momentum and bottom line benefits, particularly in the US and Australia, from the step up in D&D investment to be more evident through the second half of the year VGT performance year to date VGT has demonstrated strong operating performance so far in CY2014, with year to date performance ahead of the prior corresponding year Notes: 224 24 (1) Guidance assumes an AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.91 ARISTOCRAT#26NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES.

Specific risks Changing economic conditions and other factors affecting the gaming industry Demand for our products and services can be dependent upon favourable conditions in the gaming industry, which is highly sensitive to players' disposable incomes and gaming activities. Discretionary spending on entertainment activities could decline for reasons beyond the Group's control; for example, due to negative economic conditions or natural disasters. A decline in the relative health of the gaming industry and the difficulty or inability of our customers to obtain adequate levels of capital to finance their ongoing operations might reduce the resources available to purchase products and services, which could affect Group revenues. To address this we are working to develop and deliver new and innovative technologies and products to meet customer needs and working to partner with our customers to provide value adding solutions. Increasing competition Competition in the gaming industry (both land-based and online) has intensified from the consolidation of existing competitors as well as the entry of new competitors. Increasingly, price, reliability and product innovation are among the factors affecting a provider's success in selling its products. As traditional land-based markets continue to mature, the Group's success and profitability is dependent in part on our ability to successfully enter new segments in existing markets, new markets as well as new distribution channels, such as mobile and online gaming. To address this we continue to invest in key skills and talent and have also strengthened our insights function to enhance our ability to produce innovative new product portfolios to drive entry into new markets and support share growth. 34 =4 Increased gearing levels The increase in gearing to fund the transaction leaves the Group with a level of leverage which is higher than historical periods. Higher gearing levels leaves the Group more exposed to movements in interest rates. This will be addressed by moving back towards more historic levels of leverage over time. ARISTOCRAT#36NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Specific risks 35 Government gaming regulation The global gaming industry is subject to extensive governmental regulation. While the regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction, most require: Licences and/or permits; Findings of suitability; Documentation of qualifications, including evidence of financial stability; and Individual suitability of officers, directors, major shareholders and key employees. Changes in laws or regulations or the manner of their interpretation or enforcement could impact the Group's financial performance and restrict our ability to operate our business or execute our strategies. Difficulties or delays in obtaining or maintaining required licences or approvals could also have a negative impact on the business. A material breach of internal processes may result in violation of existing regulations which could also impact our ability to maintain required licenses or approvals. Gaming laws and regulations serve to protect the public and ensure that gaming related activity is conducted honestly, competitively, and free of corruption. A change in government (or governmental policy towards gaming) may also impact our operations. This political risk increases in jurisdictions where there is significant anti- gaming opposition or vocal minority interests. The Group has established a comprehensive regulatory assurance function and governance framework to ensure that we continue to monitor the political environment and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and to monitor our adherence to internal processes to ensure we comply with existing regulations. Intellectual property The gaming industry is constantly employing new technologies in both new and existing markets. The Group relies on a combination of patents and other technical security measures to protect our products, and continues to apply for patents protecting such technologies. Competitors and others may infringe on our intellectual property rights, or may allege that we have infringed on theirs. Monitoring infringement and misappropriation of intellectual property can be difficult and expensive. We may also incur significant litigation expenses protecting or defending our intellectual property. The Group has an established framework to identify and protect its global intellectual property assets as well as monitor infringement by competitor products. The Group has established a comprehensive regulatory assurance function and governance framework to ensure that we continue to monitor the political environment and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and to monitor our adherence to internal processes to ensure we comply with existing regulations. ARISTOCRAT#37NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Specific risks 36 Foreign exchange The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar and Japanese yen. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The Group's foreign exchange hedging policy is to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with transactional exposures, primarily over a 12 month horizon. External foreign exchange contracts are designated at the Group level as hedges of foreign exchange risk on specific foreign currency denominated transactions. Ability to manage and frequently introduce innovative products on a timely basis The Group's success is dependent on its ability to develop and sell new products that are attractive to casino operators and other gaming enterprises and their customers, for both land-based and online gaming operations. If the Group's land-based or online gaming content does not meet or sustain revenue and profitability expectations, it may be replaced or we may experience a reduction in revenue generated and an increased exposure to obsolete inventory. Therefore, success depends upon the Group's ability to continue to produce technologically sophisticated land-based and online products that meet its customers' needs and achieve high levels of player appeal and sustainability. Further, newer products are generally more sophisticated than those produced in the past and the Group must continually refine design, production and approval capabilities to meet the needs of its product innovation. The Group has invested, and intends to continue to invest, significant resources into its insights function, research and development efforts and the acquisition of key talent to mitigate this risk. Systems and technology Aristocrat relies on the continuing operation of its information technology platforms. Interruption, compromise or failure of these platforms could affect Aristocrat's ability to service its customers effectively. ARISTOCRAT#38NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Specific risks 37 Major incidents Aristocrat has a diverse and expansive supply chain footprint. However financial losses stemming from a natural disaster, civil or labour unrest, terror incident, major fire or other incident are possible. Brand names Brand names are crucial assets to Aristocrat and the success of Aristocrat is heavily reliant on its reputation and branding. Unforeseen issues or events which place Aristocrat's reputation at risk may impact on its future growth and profitability. The reputation and value associated with these brand names could be adversely impacted by a number of factors, including quality control issues, disputes or litigation with third parties such as employees, suppliers or customers, or adverse media coverage. Litigation If Aristocrat becomes involved in litigation or disputes, these could adversely affect Aristocrat's financial performance. Tax A change in tax law (including goods and services taxes and stamp duties), or changes in the way tax laws are interpreted in the various jurisdictions in which Aristocrat operates, may impact the tax liabilities of Aristocrat and the assets in which it holds an interest. Section 338(h)(10) In summary, a Section 338(h)(10) tax election is an election to treat a stock acquisition of the target corporation generally as an asset acquisition. The acquisition is expected to qualify for the election under Section 338(h)(10) of the US Tax Code to be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a purchase by us of the assets, rather than the stock, of VGT, with the attendant step-up in the basis of such assets for United States federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance, however, that the acquisition will qualify for such treatment. If the acquisition does not so qualify, or if we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the U.S., the benefits to us will not be realised. ARISTOCRAT#3938 NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Acquisition risks Completion risk Completion of the acquisition is subject to US anti-trust approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act ("HSR Act"). It is possible that this clearance may be substantially delayed, not be forthcoming or subject to material conditions. The Placement, Ainsworth family offer and SPP will occur prior to, and are not subject to, completion. If, for whatever reason, the acquisition does not proceed, Aristocrat may seek to buyback shares, use the funds to retire debt or a combination of both. Funding risk The placement agreement includes certain rights of the sole lead manager to terminate those arrangements, and the availability of the acquisition debt facility is also subject to various conditions precedent which mean that the funds may not be available in connection with the placement or under the acquisition debt facility, in circumstances which may not also entitle Aristocrat to terminate the acquisition agreement. While the termination rights of the sole lead manager and the conditions precedent of the banks are considered to be consistent with market practice, some of those rights could arise in circumstances outside Aristocrat's control. As such, there is a risk that Aristocrat has an obligation to pay the purchase price for VGT under the Acquisition Agreement but, due to the termination of the placement agreement or the unavailability of the acquisition debt facility, does not have the necessary amount of funding available. In this instance Aristocrat would need to seek to put in place new financing arrangements, the terms of which may be less attractive than the proposed acquisition funding mix. Historical liability If the acquisition of VGT completes, Aristocrat may become directly or indirectly liable for any liabilities previously incurred by VGT, which may not have been identified during due diligence, or which were of a greater magnitude than expected. Market standard protection (in the form of representations and warranties and indemnities) negotiated by Aristocrat prior to its agreement to acquire VGT may not be adequate in these circumstances. Such liability may therefore adversely affect the financial performance or position of Aristocrat post-acquisition. Synergies and integration risk There are risks that any integration between the businesses of Aristocrat and VGT may take longer than expected and that anticipated efficiencies and benefits of that integration may be less than estimated. These risks include possible differences in the management culture of the two companies, inability to achieve synergy benefits and cost savings, and the potential loss of key personnel. ARISTOČIAT#40NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Acquisition risks 39 Acquisition accounting In accounting for the acquisition, Aristocrat will need to perform a fair value assessment of all of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of VGT, which will include the identification and valuation of identifiable intangible assets. The fair value estimates contained in the pro-forma balance sheet are management's preliminary best estimates and are subject to change when the detailed fair value assessment is performed. As a result, the combined group's depreciation and amortisation charges may differ from the depreciation and amortisation charges of Aristocrat and VGT as separate businesses, which may have an adverse impact on the financial position and performance of the combined group. Loss of key staff It is possible that there will be some unintended loss of key staff leading up to and following the VGT acquisition by Aristocrat. Loss of key customers There is a risk of disruptions in the supply of products or in customer service levels during the integration, including as a result of key VGT personnel who have long standing relationships with VGT's customers, which could result in the loss of some or all of VGT's key customers. VGT's future earnings Aristocrat has undertaken financial and business analysis of VGT in order to determine its attractiveness to the Company and whether to pursue the acquisition. To the extent that the actual results achieved by VGT are weaker than those anticipated, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of the combined group may differ (including in a materially adverse way) from the current performance as reflected in this presentation. For example, the following matters may have a negative impact on VGT's future earnings: Any inability to secure and protect its key intellectual property rights A deterioration in customer renewal rates Failure to secure new business Increase in raw material costs General economic conditions in North America; and Changes to accounting practices ARISTOCRAT#41NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. Acquisition risks Impairment risk A significant proportion of VGT's assets are intangible and subject to annual impairment testing. Should any intangible assets become impaired the associated write downs in carrying values could affect Aristocrat's earnings and ability to pay dividends. Reliance on information provided Aristocrat undertook a due diligence process in respect of VGT, which relied in part on the review of financial and other information provided by the vendors of VGT. Despite taking reasonable efforts, Aristocrat has not been able to verify the accuracy, reliability or completeness of all the information which was provided to it against independent data. Similarly, Aristocrat has prepared (and made assumptions in the preparation of) the financial information relating to VGT on a stand-alone basis and also to Aristocrat post-acquisition included in this presentation in reliance on limited financial information and other information provided by the vendors of VGT. Aristocrat is unable to verify the accuracy or completeness of all of that information. If any of the data or information provided to and relied upon by Aristocrat in its due diligence process and its preparation of this Presentation proves to be incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of VGT and the combined group may be materially different to the financial position and performance expected by Aristocrat and reflected in this presentation. Investors should also note that there is no assurance that the due diligence conducted was conclusive and that all material issues and risks in respect of the acquisition have been identified. Therefore, there is a risk that unforseen issues and risks may arise, which may also have a material impact on Aristocrat. 40 40 Change of control The acquisition may trigger change of control clauses in a number of material contracts to which VGT is a party. If triggered, the change of control clauses may require counterparty consent. If the consent of a counterparty cannot be obtained and a material contract containing a change of control clause is terminated or renegotiated on less favourable terms, it may have an adverse impact on Aristocrat's financial performance and prospects.

These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the New Shares outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the New Shares. The Company, and the directors and officers of the Company, may be located outside Canada, and as a result, it may not be possible for Canadian purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers.

Statutory rights of action for damages or rescission Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser. The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Shares purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Company if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the Company. 42 42 ARISTOCRAT#44NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES. International selling restrictions This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Shares during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Company, provided that (a) the Company will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Shares with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, the Company is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that the Company proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Shares as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Shares were offered. Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have. Certain Canadian income tax considerations.
