Item 1.  Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Scientific Games Corporation (f/k/a Autotote Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 750 Lexington Avenue, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10022.


Item 2.  Identity and Background

This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of:

(1)
Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Oaktree"), in its capacity as general partner of the Opportunities Fund and the Principal Opportunities Fund (see below);

(2)
OCM Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Opportunities Fund"); and

(3)
OCM Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Principal Fund" and, together with the Opportunities Fund, collectively, the "Funds").

The principal business of Oaktree is providing investment advice and management services to institutional and individual investors. The Opportunities Fund is a limited partnership which generally invests in the securities and other obligations of distressed entities. The Principal Opportunities Fund is a limited partnership which generally invests in entities in which there is a potential for the fund to exercise significant influence over such entities. Oaktree is also the investment manager of a third party account (the "Oaktree Account") which invests in securities similar to those in which the Opportunities Fund invests. Based on Oaktree's relationship with the Funds and the Oaktree Account, Oaktree may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by both the Funds and the Oaktree Account.

(a)-(c) & (f)

Oaktree is the general partner of each of the Funds. The address of the principal business and principal office for Oaktree, the Funds and the portfolio managers is 333 South Grand Avenue, 28th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071.

Page 7 of  9 Pages


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The shares of the Issuer's Common Stock described herein were acquired for investment purposes and for the purposes set forth below.

Oaktree, as the general partner of the Funds, will evaluate the Issuer's businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and all other factors deemed relevant in determining whether to acquire or dispose of additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. The investment strategy of the Opportunities Fund is generally to invest in the securities and other obligations of distressed entities. The investment strategy of the Principal Opportunities Fund is generally to invest in entities in which there is a potential to exercise significant influence over such entities. Some or all of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by Oaktree and the Funds may be sold, or additional shares of Common Stock may be acquired in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Oaktree currently has no agreements, beneficially or otherwise, which would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, as part of its ongoing review of investment alternatives, Oaktree may consider such matters in the future and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, Oaktree may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer


Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Oaktree, as general partner of the Funds and manager of the Oaktree Account, receives a management fee for managing the assets of the Funds and the Oaktree Account and has a carried interest in the Funds and earns an incentive fee from the Oaktree Account.

Except as described above and herein in this Schedule 13D, there are no other contracts, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the parties named in Item 2 hereto and between such persons and any person with respect to any of the securities of the Issuer currently owned by the Funds.
