     1.  I have reviewed this quarterly  report on Form 10-QSB of North American
         Gaming and Entertainment Corporation;

     2.  Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  report  does not  contain any
         untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to state a material  fact
         necessary to make the  statements  made, in light of the  circumstances
         under which such  statements  were made, not misleading with respect to
         the period covered by this quarterly report;

     3.  Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
         information  included in this quarterly  report,  fairly present in all
         material  respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
         cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in
         this quarterly report.

     4.  The small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and I are
         responsible for  establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
         procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules and maintaining disclosure
         controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and

         Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  for the small  business
         issuer and have:

     (a) Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused  such
         disclosure   controls  and   procedures   to  be  designed   under  our
         supervision,  to ensure that material information relating to the small
         business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
         to us by others within those entities,  particularly  during the period
         in which this report is being prepared;

     (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
         internal  control over  financial  reporting  to be designed  under our
         supervision,  to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
         of financial reporting and the preparation of financial  statements for
         external  purposes in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
         principles;

     (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business  issuer's  disclosure
         controls and  procedures  and presented in this report our  conclusions
         about the effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures,  as
         of the  end of  the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
         evaluation; and

     (d) Disclosed  in this  report  any change in the small  business  issuer's
         internal  control over  financial  reporting  that occurred  during the
         small business  issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
         issuer's  fourth fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual  report) that
         has materially affected,  or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
         the small business issuer's internal control over financial  reporting;
         and

     5.  The small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer(s) and I have
         disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
         financial  reporting,  to the small business  issuer's auditors and the
         audit  committee of the small business  issuer's board of directors (or
         persons performing the equivalent functions):

     (a) All significant  deficiencies and material  weaknesses in the design or
         operation  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
         reasonably  likely  to  adversely  affect  the small  business  issuers
         ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
         and

     (b) Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or other
         employees who have a significant  role in the small  business  issuer's
