         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, NuOasis and the Company agree as follows:

1.       The Option

         The Company hereby grants to NuOasis or its assignee (hereinafter
         "Holder") an option (the "Option") to acquire Two Hundred Fifty
         Thousand (250,000) shares of the Company common stock, subject to
         adjustment as set forth herein (such shares, as adjusted, are
         hereinafter referred to as the "Option Shares"), at a purchase price of
         $.10 per share ("Option Price").

2.       Term and Exercise of Option

         A.   Term of Option.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Holder
              shall have the right to exercise the Option in whole or in part,
              commencing the date hereof through the close of business on July
              1, 1999.

         B.   Exercise of the Option.  The Option may be exercised upon written
              notice to the Company at its principal office setting out the
              number of Option Shares to be purchased, together with payment of
              the Option Price (as defined in and determined in accordance with
              the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof.

              Subject to paragraph 5 hereof, upon such notice of exercise and
              payment of the Option Price, the Company shall issue and cause to
              be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written
              order of Holder, or its successor as provided for herein, and in
              such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or
              certificates for the number of Option Shares so purchased. The
              rights of purchase represented by the Option shall be exercisable,
              at the election of the Holder thereof, either in full or from time
              to time in part, and in the event the Option is exercised in
              respect of less than all of the Option Shares purchasable on such
              exercise at any time prior to the date of expiration hereof, the
              remaining Option Shares shall continue to be subject to Adjustment
              as set forth in paragraph 5 hereof. The Company irrevocably agrees
              to reconstitute the Option Shares as provided herein. The Option
              represented by this Agreement may only be assigned or
              transferred by NuOasis to an Affiliate or subsidiary, or as the
              result of a corporate reorganization or recapitalization. For the
              purpose of this Option the term "Affiliate" shall be defined as a
              person or enterprises that directly, or indirectly through one or
              more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under
              common control with the Company.

3.       Reservation of Option Shares

         The Company shall at all times keep reserved and available, out of its
         authorized Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
         be sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase the
         Company's Common Stock represented by this Option Agreement. The
         transfer agent for the Common Stock and any successor transfer agent
         for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the
         exercise of any of such rights of purchase, will be irrevocably
         authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of
         authorized shares as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Company
         will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the transfer agent or
         its successors.

4.       Adjustment of the Number of Option Shares

         The number of Option Shares purchasable pursuant to this Agreement
         shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
         certain events, as follows:

         A.   Adjustment for Future Issuances of Capital Stock.  Except as
              provided below, the number of Option Shares purchasable hereunder
              shall be increased to that total number of shares of the Company's
              Common Stock equal to the difference between one million
              (1,000,000) plus the number of shares of Common Stock previously
              purchased pursuant to this Option and nineteen and one-half
              percent (19.5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock on a
              fully diluted basis issued and outstanding at any time, during the
              term of this Agreement.

         B.   Adjustment for Recapitalization.  Subject to paragraph 4.A above,
              in the event the Company shall (a) subdivide its outstanding
              shares of Common Stock, (b) reverse split or otherwise reduce its
              outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
              of Common Stock, or (c) issue or convert by a reclassification or
              recapitalization of its shares of Common Stock into, for, or with
              other securities (a "Recapitalization"), the number of Option
              Shares purchasable hereunder immediately following such
              Recapitalization shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be
              entitled to receive the kind and number of Option Shares or other
              securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been
              entitled to receive after such Recapitalization, had such Option
              been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or
              any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant
              to this paragraph shall be calculated and effected taking into
              account the formula set forth in paragraph 4.A. above and shall
              become effective immediately after the effective date of such
              event retroactive to the effective date.

         C.   Preservation of Purchase Rights Under Consolidation.  Subject to
              paragraph 4.A above, in case of any Recapitalization or any other
              consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into
              another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to
              another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety
              or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall prior to the
              closing of such transaction, cause such successor or purchasing
              corporation, as the case may be, to acknowledge and accept
              responsibility for the Company's obligations hereunder and to
              grant the Holder the right thereafter upon payment of the Option
              Price to purchase the kind and amount of shares and other
              securities and property which he would have owned or have been
              entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation,
              merger, sale or conveyance. The provisions of this paragraph shall
              similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
              conveyances.

         D.   Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of Option Shares
              purchasable hereunder is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
              shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder
              notice of such adjustment or adjustments, and shall deliver to
              Holder setting forth the adjusted number of Option Shares
              purchasable and a brief statement of the facts requiring such
              adjustment, including the computation by which such adjustment was
              made.

         E.   No Adjustment for Dividends.  Except as provided herein, no
              adjustment to the Option Shares shall be made in respect of any
              cash dividend.

5.       Failure to Deliver Option Shares Constitutes Breach Under Exchange
         Agreement

         Failure by the Company, for any reason, to deliver the certificates
         representing any shares purchased pursuant to this Option, or the
         placement of a Stop Transfer order by the Company, shall constitute a
         "Breach" under the Exchange Agreement and, for the purpose of this
         Option, failure to deliver or transfer the subject shares shall
         automatically toll the expiration of this Agreement for a period of
         time equal to the delay in delivering the subject shares or term of the
         Stop Transfer order.

6.       Assignment

         This Agreement and the rights hereunder shall not be assigned by either
         party hereto; provided, however, that in the event NuOasis or the
         Company are deemed by reason of their respective ownership of each
         other's shares to be subject to review by the Gaming Control Board of
         Nevada or other jurisdiction and the respective party does not wish to
         submit the necessary applications or pay the attendant fees, or for any
         reason is deemed unsuitable for licensing in a jurisdiction where one
         of the parties has or intends to submit to the applicable gaming rules
         and regulations, then in such event, the party not wishing to subject
         to the respective rules and regulations or pay the attendant fees may
         be allowed to assign and dispose of its interest in the shares of the
         party submitting itself to the licensing procedure. Such disposal shall
         be accomplished either by (a) a sale of the shares of the licensee to a
         buyer mutually acceptable to both parties at a price not less than fair
         market value, or (b) the transfer of the subject shares of the licensee
         by the other party into a "blend" trust or other type of trust which
         satisfies the requirements of the subject gaming regulatory body.
