Re:	Mikohn Gaming Corporation, d/b/a Progressive Gaming
International Corporation
	Registration Statement on Form S-4
	Filed April 25, 2005
	File No. 333-124311
	Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004 and
	Subsequent Exchange Act Reports
	File No. 0-22752

Dear Mr. McMeekin:

	We reviewed the filings and have the comments below.

	Where indicated, we think that you should revise the
documents
in response to the comments.  If you disagree, we will consider
your
explanation why a comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary.  Be as detailed as necessary in your explanation.  To
understand better your disclosure, we may ask you in some comments
to
provide us supplemental information.  We may raise additional
comments after reviewing this information.

	Our review`s purpose is to assist you in your compliance with
applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall
disclosure in your documents.  We look forward to working with you
to
achieve these objectives.  We welcome any questions that you may
have
about comments or any other aspect of our review.  You may call us
at
the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.
S-4

1. If applicable, comments on the S-4 are comments on the 10-K and
subsequent Exchange Act reports and vice versa.

2. We note that information is omitted throughout the S-4.  To the
extent practicable, complete the information before you amend the
S-
4.

3. Tell us why Progressive`s stockholders are not voting on the
merger.

Letter to Stockholders of VirtGame Corp.

4. Revise the first paragraph to describe the transaction in
clear,
plain English.  Where you discuss the existence of merger subs for
the mechanics of the transaction, also simply state that
Progressive
will acquire VirtGame through a merger.  Comply with this comment
here and the Q&A section.

5. Present the information about the transaction in bullet format
so
that it is easier for VirtGame`s stockholders to read.

6. Quantify here and, where appropriate, in the S-4 the estimated
aggregate value of the stock swap.  We understand that the
aggregate
value of the Progressive common stock that VirtGame stockholders
will
receive in the transaction will vary as the market price of
Progressive`s common stock changes.

Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders

7. Describe briefly in the second bullet point what section
7(c)(viii) of the series B preferred stock`s certificate of
designations encompasses.

Questions and Answers about the Transaction, page 1

8. You repeat information in the Q&A section and the summary
section.
The Q&A should not repeat any information that appears in the
summary, and the summary should not repeat information in the Q&A.
For purposes of eliminating redundancies and grouping together
like
information, view the Q&A and the summary as one section.  When
revising the disclosure, we strongly suggest that you discuss only
procedural questions, that is, voting procedures, appraisal
procedures, etc., with short, clear answers in the Q&A, and place
the
material, substantive disclosure in the summary.

9. State what the exchange ratio calculation will be based upon.
We
note that if the exchange ratios were calculated as of the date of
the prospectus, each outstanding share of VirtGame common stock
would
be converted into .0297 shares of Progressive common stock.  Will
the
calculation be based upon the number of outstanding shares?  We
note
statements that the estimated exchange ratios are based upon the
61.8
million shares of VirtGame common stock outstanding.  If the
exchange
ratio is based upon the number of outstanding VirtGame shares,
disclose this and the formula that you will use to determine the
exchange ratio based upon the number of outstanding shares.  It is
unclear from the exchange ratio calculation example in annex 1 how
you will determine the amount of consideration.

10. Include a table disclosing the number of shares that
Progressive
may issue to stockholders in the merger on a per share basis based
upon:

* A reasonable range of outstanding shares of common stock.

* Potential adjustments for working capital deficiencies,
projected
new contract revenue, and the credit facility provided to VirtGame
by
Progressive.

Include columns for the number of shares that holders of common
stock, preferred stock, and options and warrants would receive.

11. Explain in clear and concise terms the collar on the number of
shares and the collar`s economic purpose and its effect from the
perspective of Progressive and from the perspective of VirtGame`s
holders.  Explain what you do assure or do not assure to
Progressive
and VirtGame`s holders relating to the number of shares to be
issued
in the transaction using the agreed upon exchange ratios.  For
example, to what extent does this arrangement increase or decrease
the opportunities of VirtGame`s holders to gain or lose from
expected
changes to VirtGame`s working capital level, projected new
contract
revenue, and the amounts outstanding under the Progressive credit
facility between the date of the proxy statement/prospectus and
the
transaction`s closing?  We note the disclosure on page 38 that the
exchange ratio was "at or about the same price" as the current
market
price of VirtGame`s common stock.

12. Refer to annex 1, and explain here in economic terms the
purpose
and effect of each item used to calculate the closing adjustment
to
purchase shares.

13. You indicate in the fourth and fifth Q&A on pages 1 and 2 that
the estimated exchange ratio is based in part on VirtGame`s
current
working capital level and the aggregate amount currently
outstanding
under the Progressive credit facility.  Quantify VirtGame`s
current
working capital level and the aggregate amount currently
outstanding
under the Progressive credit facility used to calculate the
estimated
exchange ratios.  It is unclear how the exchange ratio is related
to
the reduction in the maximum number of transaction shares that you
discuss on page 48.  Please clarify.

14. You indicate in the fifth Q&A on page 2 that if the difference
between the total number of shares actually issued and the maximum
transaction shares is greater than 5,000, Progressive will issue
the
balance shares to the former holders of VirtGame`s common stock
and
preferred stock and the holders of assumed VirtGame options and
warrants who exercised those options or warrants after the
transaction`s closing.  How will Progressive identify the former
holders of VirtGame common stock and preferred stock?  For
example,
will they be the record holders entitled to vote on the
transaction
at the special meeting, will they be the holders who surrender
their
VirtGame certificates for Progressive certificates after the
transaction`s closing, or will another method be used to identify
who
will receive the balance shares?

15. Provide a quantified example of how the issuance of balance
shares will work in the issuance of the maximum transaction
shares.

16. We note the eighth Q&A on page 3.  Reconcile these statements
with the statement throughout the proxy statement/prospectus that
Progressive will issue shares of its common stock for all of the
outstanding warrants and options of VirtGame.

Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, page 6

17. Disclosure on pages 8-9 and elsewhere indicates that the
merger`s
closing is conditioned upon receipt of written opinions on tax
matters from VirtGame`s counsel and Progressive`s counsel.  Since
each party may waive the condition, you must:

* File executed opinions before effectiveness even though the
merger
agreement is conditioned upon the receipt of one or more favorable
tax opinions at closing.

* Undertake to recirculate and resolicit if the condition is
waived
and the change in tax consequences is material.

18. Provide more prominent disclosure of Progressive`s $2.5
million
loan to VirtGame, including its terms.

Termination of the Merger Agreement, page 10; Termination Fees and
Expenses, page 10; and No Solicitation, page 11

19. Scale back the information in these subsections, and avoid
copying text directly from legal documents so that the information
is
easy to read.

Interests of Directors, Officers and Affiliates of VirtGame and
Progressive, page 12

20. Disclosure in the fifth risk factor on page 23 indicates that
some VirtGame directors and officers have rights to acceleration
of
stock options.  Quantify the rights` monetary value of those
directors and officers here.

21. Confirm that there are no post-merger consulting agreements or
arrangements for any of VirtGame`s directors and officers.
Alternatively, if there are post-merger consulting agreements or
arrangements for any of VirtGame`s directors and officers,
disclose
the material provisions of those agreements or arrangements.

Risk Factors, page 22

22. Some risk factors include language like "it can not assure,"
"there can be no guarantee," and "There can be no assurance."  For
example, refer to the eleventh and twelfth risk factors.  Since
the
risk is the situation described and not VirtGame`s inability to
assure or guarantee, revise.

23. We note the disclosure about the exchange ratio in the last
bullet statement on page 37.  Consider adding a risk factor to
discuss this fact.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, page 29

24. Since VirtGame is a penny stock issuer, VirtGame in ineligible
to
rely on the safe harbor.  See section 27A(b)(1)(c) of the
Securities
Act, and revise.

Background of the Transaction, page 34

25. In this subsection`s second paragraph, disclose why Mr. Mark
Newburg chose Progressive as a potential business combination
candidate.

26. In this subsection`s fourth paragraph, explain why the offer
made
by the potential acquirer "was not financially suitable."

27. In this subsection`s sixth paragraph, disclose what other
"options for maximizing shareholder value" VirtGame considered and
why they were not pursued.

28. In the second full paragraph on page 35, explain Ms. Victoria
Abajian`s relationship to VirtGame.

29. In the third full paragraph on page 35, disclose briefly what
aspects of valuation you discussed.

30. In the sixth full paragraph on page 35, discuss what "issues"
about the merger you discussed at the January 5, 2005 meeting.

31. In the eighth full paragraph on page 35, disclose what
detailed
information about the merger the Progressive board reviewed at its
January 17, 2005 meeting.

32. In the third paragraph on page 36, discuss how the
capitalization
of VirtGame affected the exchange ratio in the course of the
merger
negotiations.

33. Refer to the fifth paragraph on page 36.  Summarize in
appropriate detail the financial analysis of VirtGame received by
Progressive`s board of directors before its February 14, 2005
meeting.  Further, indicate who prepared the financial analysis.

34. Refer to the seventh paragraph on page 36.  Summarize in
appropriate detail the February 16, 2005 oral presentation of
Trenwith Valuation, LLC or Trenwith to Progressive`s board of
directors.

35. Provide us copies of any documentation such as outlines,
summaries, or reports prepared and furnished by Trenwith to
Progressive`s board of directors.  Further, provide us copies of
the
financial forecasts prepared by VirtGame that were provided to
Trenwith.

VirtGame Board of Directors` Reasons for the Transaction, page 37

36. On page 38, disclose what aspects of these items you
considered:

* "Financial market conditions, historical market prices,
volatility
and trading information with respect to each company`s common
stock."

* "The terms of the $2.5 million credit facility provided by
Progressive."

* "The exchange ratio at which VirtGame shares will be exchanged
for
Progressive shares in the merger."

37. Disclose here or elsewhere details and quantify to the extent
practicable the strategic rationale and the economic and
operational
benefits of the merger.  For stockholders to make an informed
decision about the merger, you should explain what the combined
company will look like going forward and anticipated synergies.
For
example, add discussion on how each company complements or
overlaps
each other, whether you are focused on the same markets, and, if
so,
what plans you have to integrate operations or eliminate
duplicative
functions.

Opinion of VirtGame`s Financial Advisor, page 39

38. Refer to this subsection`s second paragraph.  Disclose also
whether Trenwith has provided services to VirtGame or any
affiliates
during the preceding two years.  If so, disclose those services
and
the compensation Trenwith received for them.  See Item 4(b) of
Form
S-4 and Item 9(b)(4) of Schedule 13E-3.

39. Revise this subsection`s fourth paragraph to clarify that the
summary includes all material information about the Trenwith
opinion
and the methodologies that Trenwith employed in arriving at its
opinion.

40. Clarify what you mean by the "qualified in its entirety"
language
in the last paragraph on page 39 because a prospectus must contain
all material information about the contents of any document filed
as
an exhibit to the S-4 or incorporated by reference into the S-4
and
to which the prospectus refers.

41. Refer to the fourth, fifth, and sixth bullet points on page
40.
Summarize in sufficient detail each of the analyses performed by
Trenwith.  Disclose how each analysis related to Trenwith`s
opinion
that the consideration is fair to VirtGame`s stockholders so that
you
disclose the bases for and methods of arriving at your findings.
See
Item 1015(b)(6) of Regulation M-A.  Where appropriate, consider
tabular presentation of data to assist the reader.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences, page 40

42. We understand that you intend to file by amendment the tax
opinions.  If VirtGame`s counsel and Progressive`s counsel elect
to
use a short form tax opinion, the exhibit 8 short form opinion and
the prospectus both must state clearly that the discussion in this
subsection is their opinions.  It is unacceptable for the short
form
opinion or the prospectus to state that the discussion in the
prospectus is a fair and accurate summary or a fair and accurate
discussion of the tax consequences.  If applicable, revise this
subsection`s first sentence.

Exchange of VirtGame Common Stock or Preferred Stock for
Progressive
Common Stock, page 42

43. Refer to the phrase "Assuming that the integrated mergers
qualify
as reorganization."  Since it is inappropriate to assume any legal
conclusion underlying the tax opinions, revise the disclosure.

Appraisal Rights, page 75

44. Clarify in this section`s second paragraph that the discussion
includes all material information about the law pertaining to
appraisal rights under Delaware`s General Corporation Law.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,
page
79

45. Since you will have to revise the S-4 to update both
Progressive`s and VirtGame`s financial statements to reflect the
first quarter 2005, update your unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements.  The pro forma balance sheet
should be based on the latest balance sheets included in the S-4,
and
the pro forma statement of operations should be based on the
latest
fiscal year and interim period included in the filing.  You should
present a pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2005 and a pro
forma statement of operations for both the three months ended
March
31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004.
