                        AGREEMENT REGARDING GROUND LEASES

          THIS AGREEMENT REGARDING GROUND LEASES (this "Agreement") is made as
of the 6th day of December, 2001 by BARDEN NEVADA GAMING, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company ("Barden"), whose principal place of business is located at

principal place of business is located at 101 Barclay Street - 21W, New York,
New York 10286, in its capacity as trustee under the "Indenture" for the ratable
benefit of the "Holders" (as each such term is hereinafter defined).

                                    RECITALS

          A. Pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of December 6, 2001
(as supplemented and otherwise amended from time to time, the "Indenture"), by
and among Majestic Investor Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the "Company"), Majestic Investor Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Capital" and, together with the Company, the "Issuers"), the Subsidiary
Guarantors (defined therein), and BONY, as Trustee thereunder, the Issuers will
issue 11.653%


<PAGE>
Senior Secured Notes due on or before 2007 in an aggregate principal amount of
up to $152,632,000 (collectively, the "Notes"). Unless the context otherwise
requires, all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

          B. Pursuant to a guarantee executed and delivered pursuant to the
Indenture (as amended from time to time, the "Subsidiary Guarantee"), the
Subsidiary Guarantors (including Barden) have guaranteed the obligations of the
Issuers under the Notes, the Indenture and the other Security Documents to which
the Issuers are parties.

          C. Pursuant to the Indenture, Barden's Subsidiary Guarantee is
required to be secured by, among other things, that certain Deed of Trust,
Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated the date
hereof (the "Deed of Trust"), made by Barden, as trustor, to Fidelity National
Title Agency of Nevada, Inc., as trustee, for the benefit of BONY, as
beneficiary, on the real property located in the City of Las Vegas, County of
Clark, State of Nevada, and commonly known as Fitzgeralds Las Vegas Casino (the
"Property"). Portions of the Property are owned in fee by Barden and portions of
the Property are leased by Barden (collectively, the "Leased Land") pursuant to
the "Ground Leases" (as hereinafter defined). The Leased Land is more
particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein, and
the "Ground Leases" are those leases, together with any and all amendments,
modifications, and assignments thereto, more particularly described on Exhibit B
attached hereto and incorporated herein.

          D. Due to certain restrictions set forth in the Ground Leases, BONY
has agreed to not encumber the Leased Land; and Barden has agreed to not
transfer or encumber the Leased Land or any portion thereof.

                                   WITNESSETH:

          In consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Barden and BONY hereby agrees as follows:

          1. Negative Pledge. Barden hereby agrees that it will not create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien. or security interest in the leasehold
interests (or any portion thereof), whether currently held or hereinafter
acquired, pursuant to



                                        2


<PAGE>
the Ground Leases or on any portion of the Leased Land that Barden may
hereinafter acquire, other than Permitted Liens.

          2. Transfer. Except as permitted by the Indenture, Barden hereby
agrees that it will not convey, sell, sublease (other than space leases and room
rentals in the hotel and casino located on the Leased Land), assign, transfer or
otherwise dispose of, all or any portion of the leasehold interest, whether
currently held or hereinafter acquired, pursuant to the Ground Leases or on any
portion of the Leased Land that Barden may hereinafter acquire.

          3. Release. BONY hereby agrees that this Agreement will be terminated
and released of record simultaneously with the termination and release of record
of the lien of the Deed of Trust.

          4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and be governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law
principles thereof) of the State of Nevada.

          5. Further Assurances. Barden shall, at its own expense, perform such
acts as may be necessary, or that BONY may request at any time, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such additional papers and instruments and will do
or cause to be done all further acts and things as may be proper or reasonably
necessary to carry out the purpose hereof. Without limiting the general nature
of Barden's obligations set forth in the preceding sentence, in the event that,
subsequent to the date hereof, Barden receives the consent of any lessor under
any Ground Lease to mortgage the Leased Land subject to such Ground Lease (or is
otherwise permitted to so encumber), Barden shall promptly notify BONY of such
consent and Barden shall promptly execute and deliver to BONY a deed of trust
encumbering such Leased Land, substantially in the form of the Deed of Trust,
and such deed of trust shall be recorded in the official records of Clark
County, Nevada.

          6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties to this
Agreement on separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

          7. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns (except that Barden may not encumber, assign or transfer



                                       3

any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
BONY except as permitted under the Indenture).
