                    INNOVATIVE GAMING CORPORATION OF AMERICA
                            ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT OF
                          CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF
                      SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         The undersigned, Chief Executive Officer of Innovative Gaming
Corporation of America (the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing
under the Business Corporation Act of the State of Minnesota, does hereby
certify:

         That the following Articles of Amendment of Certificate of Designation
were adopted pursuant to Chapter 302A of the Business Corporation Act of the
State of Minnesota, by written action of the shareholders of the Company's
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on June 1, 1999 and by the Company's Board
of Directors on May 24, 1999, to amend the Certificate of Designation filed with
the Secretary of State of Minnesota on May 13, 1998 as follows:

         RESOLVED, that Article 5(d) of the Certificate of Designation be
         amended and restated as follows:

         (d) Automatic Conversion. Subject to Section 5(a) hereof, Preferred
Shares, and any accrued but unpaid Dividends, shall be automatically converted
into Common Stock on June 1, 2001 at the Conversion Price (as defined herein).

         RESOLVED, that Article 5(h) of the Certificate of Designation be
         amended and restated as follows:

         (h) Inability to Fully Convert. If, upon the Company's receipt of a
Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock in
satisfaction of such Conversion Notice because (i) the Company has issued the
Maximum Common Stock Issuance and has not received the approval of the holders
of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(g) hereof or (ii) the
Company is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations
of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory
organization with jurisdiction over the Company or its securities, including
without limitation the NASDAQ National Market from issuing all of the Common
Stock which is to be issued to a holder of Preferred Shares pursuant to a
Conversion Notice at the Conversion Price, then the Company shall issue as many
shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with such holder's
Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 5(g) above and, with respect to the
unconverted Preferred Shares, the Company will, at the Company's option:

         1) Redemption. Redeem the unconverted Preferred Shares for cash at a
         price equal to 115% of the Liquidation Value of such shares;

         2) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Issue Series C Convertible
         Preferred Stock ("Series C Convertible Preferred Stock") in an amount
         equal to (a) the difference of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
         that would have been issued at the lesser of the Conversion Price or
         the average closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock as reported
         by Bloomberg, L.P. over the last four days of trading ending on the day
         prior to the Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
         Stock issued pursuant to Section 5(h)(2)(i) above multiplied by (b) the
         Conversion Date Price; or

         3) any combination of Section 5(h)(1) and Section 5(h)(2) above.
