6   DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

    6.1  Lessee  shall  be  deemed  in default under this  Agreement  upon  the
occurrence of any one of the following:   [i]  failure  of  Lessee  to make any
payment  within  ten (10) days of its due date or failure to perform any  other
obligation under this  Agreement  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  receipt of
written  notice  of  default  and  failure to cure; [ii] any representation  or
statement made or furnished to Mikohn  by  Lessee  in  any  financial or credit
statement  or  application for credit made prior to this Agreement,  proves  to
have been false  in  any  material  respect when made or furnished; [iii] loss,
theft, destruction, seizure, attachment  or unauthorized sale or encumbrance of
any part of the Sign; [iv] death, dissolution,  insolvency,  appointment  of  a
receiver  for,  or  commencement  of  any  proceeding  under  any bankruptcy or
insolvency  laws  by  or  against Lessee; [v] expiration or revocation  of  any
gaming license of Lessee; [vi]  sale,  or any other transfer of Lessee's rights
to possession of Lessee's business premises,  for  any reason, which results in
cessation  of  operation of the Sign for a period of thirty  (30)  days;  [vii]
failure of Lessee  to  execute and deliver the UCC Financing Statement required
by section 4.1.

In the event of default, Mikohn may, at its option and without demand or notice
to  Lessee,  declare  all  amounts   remaining   unpaid  under  this  Agreement
immediately  due  and  payable  and interest shall accrue  on  the  outstanding
principal and interest balance at  a  rate  of 1.5% per month, which is 18% per
annum, until paid in full and Mikohn shall be  entitled to recover any attorney
fees and any other costs of collection.  No waiver by Mikohn, its successors or
assigns,  of any default, including, but not limited  to,  acceptance  of  late
payment after  the  same is due, shall operate as a waiver of any other default
or of the same default on a future occasion.  Time is of the essence.

In the event of default, Mikohn may also require Lessee to dismantle and return
the Sign, at Lessee's  expense,  to a place designated by Mikohn, or Mikohn may
take possession or control of the  Sign  without demand or notice, wherever the
same may be located, without any court order  or  pre-taking  hearing.   Lessee
agrees  that  if Mikohn takes possession or control of the Sign as a result  of
Lessee's default  hereunder,  that  Mikohn,  in its discretion,  may remove the
Sign  or  continue  to  operate  the  Sign  in  whatever  manner  Mikohn  deems
appropriate.   In  the event of default, Lessee hereby  grants  to  Mikohn  and
Mikohn's designated  agents,  an  irrevocable license for ingress and egress to
Lessee's property for the purposes of taking control of the Sign and re-leasing
the Sign to third parties.  In the event of default, Lessee consents to the re-
leasing  of  the  Sign by Mikohn to third  parties  of  Mikohn's  choosing  and
disclaims any right,  title  and  interest  in any rentals generated by the re-
leasing of the Sign.  In the event of default,  Mikohn  shall have the right to
display any advertising it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to the
promotion  of Mikohn itself.  Lessee waives any and all damages  occasioned  by
such retaking,  repossession  or  exercise  of  control.   Lessee shall also be
liable  and shall pay to Mikohn all expenses incurred by Mikohn  in  connection
with  the   enforcement   of  Mikohn's  remedies,  including  all  expenses  of
repossessing,  storing,  shipping,   and   repairing  the  Sign,  and  Mikohn's
reasonable  attorney  fees.   All remedies of Mikohn  are  cumulative,  are  in
addition to any other remedies  provided  for  by  law,  and may, to the extent
permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately.
