costs and fees with any balance being returned to Borrower.

                  A.2 Conditions Precedent to Each Disbursement. Lender's
obligation to make any disbursement of the Loan shall be further subject to the

Disbursement Request in form and content acceptable to Lender;

                      (b) No Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), or any

                      (c) Borrower shall provide Lender with such information as
Lender shall require regarding the proposed use of the requested Loan funds; and

                      (d) Lender shall have no obligation to approve any

the Loan at any time (the "Maximum Availability") shall not exceed
$17,000,000.00, reduced by the amount of $850,000.00 on the fifth day of June

upon any property or assets of Borrower under any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, bank loan or credit agreement or other instrument or agreement to which

Borrower's corporate charter, bylaws, articles of partnership, articles of
organization and/or operating agreement, or declaration of trust.

                  B.3  Financial Statements. Any and all balance sheets,
statements of income or loss, reconciliation of surplus and financial data of
any other kind heretofore furnished Lender by or on behalf of Borrower are true

be subordinated to the obligation of Borrower to Lender under the Loan in a
manner acceptable to Lender and any payment acceleration thereunder in excess of
20% in any year shall require Lender's prior written consent.

                 B.5 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings of a
material nature (collectively "Proceedings") pending, or to the knowledge of
Borrower threatened, against or affecting Borrower, the Property, or involving

(including specifically Borrower's execution of this Agreement, the Note, the
Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents) which will violate, be in
conflict with, result in the breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse
of time, or both) a default under any Legal Requirement (as hereafter defined),
or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of
any nature whatsoever on the Property other than the liens and security
interests created by, or referred to in, the Deed of Trust. Borrower shall give
Lender written notice of any pending or threatened Proceeding or any Adverse
Event promptly after Borrower obtains knowledge thereof.

                 B.6 Permits. Before requesting, or being entitled to, any

                     (a) Borrower agrees that Borrower and the Property shall at
all times strictly comply with the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990; any other federal, state, or local laws or ordinances
related to disabled access; or any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, order
of governmental bodies and regulatory agencies, or order or decree of any court
adopted or enacted with respect thereto, as now existing or hereafter amended or
adopted (collectively, the "Access Laws"). At any time, Lender may require a
certificate of compliance with the Access Laws and indemnification agreement in
a form reasonably acceptable to Lender. Lender may also require a certificate of
compliance from an architect, engineer, or other third party acceptable to
Lender.

                     (b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in
any security instrument, Borrower shall not alter or permit any tenant or other
person to alter the Property in any manner which would increase Borrower's
responsibilities for compliance with the Access laws without the prior written
approval of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
In connection with such approval, Lender may require a certificate of compliance
with the Access Laws from an architect, engineer, or other party acceptable to
Lender.

                     (c) Borrower agrees to give prompt written notice to Lender
of the receipt by Borrower of any claims of violation of any of the Access Laws
and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to
compliance with the Access Laws.

                     (d) Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender from
and against any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, losses,
liabilities, penalties, fines, and other proceedings including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney fees and expenses arising directly or indirectly
from or out of or in any way connected with any failure of the Property to
comply with the Access Laws. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under
this subsection shall survive any termination, satisfaction, assignment,
judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding, or delivery of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure with respect to this agreement, any security instrument, and the
Property.

               The foregoing representations, covenants, and warranties shall
survive until all sums payable pursuant to the Note or this Agreement, or which
are secured by the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, have been
paid in full.

         C.    DEFAULT.

               C.l   Events of Default. Any of the following shall constitute a
default hereunder (an "Event of Default"):


                     (a) The failure of Borrower to make any payment required
hereunder, under the Note, or under any other Loan Document within fifteen (15)
days after the due date thereof;

                                       5

                                 (702)362-5118

<PAGE>

               (b)  The neglect, failure, or refusal of Borrower to keep in full
force and effect any permit, license, consent or approval required hereunder,
under the Loan Documents or otherwise required in connection with Borrower or
Borrower's business activities;

               (c)  The false or misleading nature of any representation or
warranty of Borrower contained herein or in any representation to Lender
concerning the financial condition of Borrower, or the reasonable determination
by Lender of a material threat to its security by reason of a material adverse
change in the financial condition of Borrower (unless Borrower provides Lender
with evidence acceptable to Lender that no such change in financial condition
has occurred, or that any such change does not present a material threat to
Lender's security, within thirty (30) days following written notice from Lender
to Borrower relating thereto);

               (d)  The failure of Borrower to fully perform any and all
covenants and agreements hereunder; provided, however, that such failure shall
not constitute an Event of Default if such failure is not specifically covered
elsewhere herein or in the Note, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan
Documents, such failure does not relate, in the judgment of Lender, to a matter
which is of an emergency nature, and Borrower performs such covenant or
agreement within thirty (30) days after performance thereof is due. If such
failure is specifically covered elsewhere herein or in the Note, the Deed of
Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, the foregoing 30-day grace period
shall not be applicable in such a situation and the grace period, notice
requirement and/or cure period, if any, set forth in such other reference shall
control;

               (e)  The failure of Borrower to perform (other than to make a
payment due thereunder) as required under any other Loan Document within thirty
(30) days following written notice from Lender that such performance is due;

               (f)  The admission by any entity comprising Borrower in writing
of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the filing by
any entity comprising Borrower of a petition or action for relief under an
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law, or any other law or laws for the
relief of, or relating to, debtors;

               (g)  The filing of any involuntary petition under any bankruptcy
or insolvency law against any entity comprising Borrower, or the appointment of
a custodian, receiver or trustee to take possession of the Property or other
assets of any entity comprising Borrower, unless such petition or appointment is
or has been set aside or withdrawn within sixty (60) days from the date of such
filing or appointment;

               (h)  The filing by or against any entity comprising Borrower of a
petition seeking the liquidation or dissolution of such entity or the
commencement of any other procedure

<PAGE>

to liquidate or dissolve any such entity, or the occurrence of any event,
condition or circumstance which causes the liquidation of such entity; or

               (i)  The occurrence of a breach or default (a) by Last Chance
under the Gold Ranch Casino Lease dated December 27, 2001, executed in
connection with a portion of the Gold Ranch Property, or (b) California
Prospectors, Ltd., a Nevada Limited Liability Company, under the California
Lottery Station Lease dated May 31, 2002, executed in connection with a portion
of the Gold Ranch Property, in each case subject to any applicable notice
requirement and opportunity to cure contained therein.

               For the purpose of paragraph C.1, whenever Borrower is provided
with a period of time within which to cure any default, and such default is not
reasonably susceptible to cure within such period of time, it shall be deemed
cured if Borrower commences curative action within such time period and
diligently pursues such action thereafter.

        C.2    Acceleration. Upon Borrower failing to timely cure an Event of
Default hereunder, the entire unpaid balance of the Note including all accrued
interest shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable and
Lender shall have such rights of enforcement as may be afforded by law,
hereunder, or under the Note, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan
Documents.

    D.  REMEDIES.

        D.l    General. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder,
Lender shall have all rights and remedies available to Lender under the law,
hereunder or under the Note (including but not limited to the right to
accelerate the Note), the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, the right to disapprove any Disbursement Request
submitted by Borrower and to cease making disbursements under the Loan.

        D.2    Right to Advance or Post Funds. Where disputes arise which, in
the good faith opinion of Lender, may endanger the performance of any material
covenant contained herein, Lender may, following ten (10) days written notice to
Borrower, enter into such agreements or advance funds for the account of
Borrower without prejudice to Borrower's rights, if any, to recover said funds
from the party to whom paid. Such agreement or agreements may take the form
which Lender, in its discretion, deems proper, including but not limited to
agreements to indemnify a title insurer against possible assertion of lien
claims or to pay disputed amounts to contractors if Borrower is unable or
unwilling to pay the same. All sums paid or agreed to be paid pursuant to any
such undertaking shall be for the account of Borrower, Borrower shall reimburse
Lender for any such payments made upon demand therefor, with interest at the
rate then applicable under the Note until date of reimbursement, and such
advances and interest shall be secured by the Deed of Trust.

<PAGE>

          D.3  Curing of Defaults by Disbursement. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default which may be cured by the payment of money, Lender, without
waiving any right of acceleration or foreclosure under the Note or the Deed of
Trust which Lender may have by reason of such default, or any other right Lender
may have against Borrower because of such Event of Default, shall have the right
to make such payment from the Loan, thereby curing the Event of Default.

          D.4  Remedies are Cumulative. All remedies of Lender provided for
herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and
remedies provided in the Note, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan
Documents or by law. The exercise of any rights of Lender hereunder shall not in
any way constitute a cure or waiver of an Event of Default, or invalidate any
act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice Lender in the exercise
of any of its other rights hereunder or elsewhere unless, in the exercise of
said rights, Lender realizes all amounts owed to it hereunder and under the
Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.

          D.5  Right of Contest. Borrower shall have the right to contest in
good faith any claim, demand, levy, or assessment by a third party, the
assertion of which would constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Any such
contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a manner not prejudicial to Lender
or the rights of Lender hereunder. In the event that Lender reasonably
determines that such claim, demand, levy or assessment could adversely affect
Lender's interest in the Property, upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall deposit
funds with Lender or obtain and record a bond satisfactory to Lender in an
amount sufficient to cover any amounts which may be owing in the event the
contest may be unsuccessful. Borrower shall make such deposit or obtain and
record such bond, as the case may be, within ten (10) business days after demand
therefor and, if made by payment of funds to Lender, the amount so deposited
shall be disbursed in accordance with the resolution of the contest to Borrower
or the adverse claimant.

     E.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          E.l  No Waiver. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall be
implied from any omission by Lender to take action on account of such Event of
Default, and no express waiver shall affect any Event of Default other than the
Event of Default specified in the waiver and the waiver shall be operative only
for the time and to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term, or
condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by
Lender to or of any act by Borrower requiring further consent or approval shall
not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of
any subsequent similar act.

          E.2  No Third Parties Benefitted. This Agreement is made and entered
into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender and Borrower. All conditions
of the obligations of Lender to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of Lender and may be freely modified by Lender with
the concurrence of Borrower or waived by Lender in whole or in part at any time
if in its sole discretion it deems it advisable to do so. No person other than
Borrower

          E.3  Plural Borrowers Jointly and Severally Liable. All persons, firms

effective two (2) business days following its deposit. Notice given in any other
manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For
purposes of notice, the addresses of the parties shall be as set forth on the

to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location by the giving
of notice to the other party in the manner set forth above.

          E.5  Authority to File Notices. Borrower irrevocably appoints,
designates, and authorizes Lender as its agent (said agency being coupled with
an interest) to file for record any notice that Lender deems necessary or
desirable to protect its interest hereunder or under the Note, the Deed of Trust
or any of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall only file such notices if
Borrower fails, within ten (10) days after written demand by Lender, to do so.

          E.6  Expenses. Borrower shall pay promptly all reasonable costs,
charges, and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan, including

purporting to affect the Property, or the rights, duties, or liabilities of the
parties hereunder, or the disbursement of any funds. In connection therewith,
Lender may incur and pay costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, and Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand all such costs and expenses and

shall also have the right to appear in or defend any such action and Borrower
and Lender shall reasonably cooperate in any action or proceeding in which their
interests are the same or similar.

          E.8  Commissions and Brokerage Fee. Borrower shall indemnify Lender
from any responsibility and/or liability for the payment of any commission,
charge or brokerage fees to anyone which may be payable in connection with the
making, purchase or refinance of the Loan, it being understood that any such

          E.9   Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of Nevada, except as preempted by federal
law.

          E.10  Heirs, Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and personal
representatives of the parties hereto; provided, however, that Borrower shall
not assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part without the prior written
consent of Lender, which such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and
absolute discretion of Lender. Any such assignment without said consent shall be
void. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to assign to
participants or others all or certain of its rights and obligations hereunder
but no such assignment shall, without Borrower's written consent, relieve Lender
of its obligations hereunder.

          E.11  Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each and
every provision hereof in which time is an element.

          E.12  Supplemental Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement are not
intended to supersede the provisions of the Deed of Trust but shall be construed
as supplemental thereto. This Agreement, and all representations and warranties
contained herein, shall remain in effect until the Loan has been paid in full.

          E.13  Legal Requirements. "Legal Requirements" shall mean (i) any and
all present and future judicial decisions, statutes, rulings, directions, rules,
regulations, permits, licenses, certificates or ordinances of any governmental
authority in any way applicable to Borrower, Borrower's business activities or
the Property, including the ownership, use, occupancy, possession, operation,
maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of the Property, (ii)
Borrower's presently or subsequently effective bylaws and articles of
incorporation or partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, trust or other
form of business association agreement, (iii) any and all terms, provisions and
conditions of any commitment between Lender and Borrower which are to be
performed or observed by Borrower, and (iv) any and all leases and other
contracts (written or oral) of any nature that relate, in any way, to the
Property and to which Borrower may be bound, including but not limited to any
lease or other contract pursuant to which Borrower is granted a possessory
interest in the Property.

          E.14  Relationship of Parties. The relationship between Borrower and
Lender is, and at all time shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor, and
shall not be, or be construed to be, a joint venture, equity venture,
partnership or other relationship of any nature, and Lender neither undertakes
nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person with
respect to the Property or the Loan, except as expressly provided in the Loan
Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (a)
Lender is not, and shall not be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter
ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of
any kind of Borrower or its partners or members and Lender does not intend to
ever assume such status; (b) Lender shall in no event be liable for any debts,
expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; (c) Lender does not intend
to ever assume any

responsibility to any person for the quality, suitability, safety or condition
of the Property; and (d) Lender shall not be deemed responsible for or a
participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its partners or
members.

           E.15 Attorneys' Fees and Costs. If any legal action or any
arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement
or because of an Event of Default or an alleged dispute or misrepresentation in
connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and
other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other
relief to which he may be entitled.

           E.16 Arbitration

           (a) General. The parties hereby agree that any dispute, action, claim
or controversy between Borrower and Lender, and whether sounding in contract,
tort or otherwise shall be resolved by submission to arbitration in accordance
with NRS Chapter 38.015 to 38.205. The disputes, actions, claims or
controversies which shall be submitted to arbitration shall include all
disputes, actions, claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with
(a) this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) the underlying facts which
gave rise to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (c) any
transaction contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents.

           The parties hereby agree that an arbitrator shall be selected from a
list provided by the American Arbitration Association, unless the parties
otherwise specifically agree in writing. Any arbitration will be conducted
according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of The American Arbitration
Association, provided that the discovery rules of the Nevada Rules of Civil
Procedure beginning with NRCP 26 through NRCP 37 shall be applicable and
available to the parties. In the event of an inconsistency between the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. All statutes of
limitations which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any claim made or
theory of recovery advanced in any arbitration proceeding commenced under this
Agreement. Judgment upon any award rendered by an Arbitrator, may be entered in
any Court having jurisdiction and may be enforced as any judgment rendered by a
Nevada District Court.

           (b) Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. No provision of
this paragraph E.16 shall limit the right of any party to this Agreement to
exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any
real or personal property collateral or security in a commercially reasonable
manner, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent
jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration or other
proceeding. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either party to
resort to arbitration or reference. At Lender's option, foreclosure under a deed
of trust or mortgage may be accomplished either by exercise of power of sale
under the deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure.

           E.17 Expiration of Commitment. Lender's obligation to disburse the
Loan is further conditioned upon the execution of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the recordation of the Deed of Trust on or before July 1,
2002.

                        REDUCING REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

                    PROMISSORY NOTE SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST

$17,000,000.00                                                      May 31, 2002



         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, at the times hereinafter stated, the undersigned
(collectively "Borrower") promise to pay to NEVADA STATE BANK, or order
("Lender"), at Nevada State Bank, P.O. Box 2351, Reno, Nevada 89505, or at such
other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, in
legal tender of the United States of America, the principal sum of SEVENTEEN
MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($17,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be
advanced or readvanced (the "Loan") pursuant to the terms of that certain
Reducing Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement of even date herewith between
Lender and Borrower (the "Loan Agreement"), with interest from the date or dates
of disbursement on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding,
at the fixed rate of seven and seventeen one-hundredths percent (7.17%) per
annum (the "Interest Rate") until June 1, 2007 (the "Interest Rate Adjustment
Date"). On the Interest Rate Adjustment Date the Interest Rate shall be adjusted
to a new fixed rate (the "Adjusted Interest Rate") equal to LIBOR (as defined
below) plus two and four-tenths percent (2.40%) per annum, but in no event less
than six percent (6.00%) per annum. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360/365 simple interest basis; that is by applying the ratio of the annual
interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal
balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is
outstanding. LIBOR is defined as the fixed rate for the U.S. Dollar Swap Market
using the asked side of the market at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Time as published by
Bloomberg, or comparable service, for a five (5) year term (the "Index"). The
Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the
Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Loan, Lender may designate a
substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current
Index rate upon Borrower's request.

         Principal and interest shall be due and payable as follows:

                 (i)    interest only on the fifth day of each and every month
         commencing on the fifth day of July, 2002.

                 (ii)   principal in the amount, if any, which is necessary to
         reduce the outstanding principal balance due under this Note to the
         Maximum Availability (as defined in the Loan Agreement) on the fifth
         day of June and December of each year, commencing on the fifth day of
         December, 2002; and

                 (iii)  any balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest
         shall be due and payable in full on the fifth day of June, 2012 (the
         "Maturity Date").

<PAGE>

     At no time shall the Interest Rate or the Adjusted Interest Rate exceed the
legal rate of interest permitted to be charged by the Lender. In the event any
law precludes Lender from charging the Interest Rate or the Adjusted Interest
Rate otherwise permitted hereunder, the rate of interest hereunder for the
period during which such rate is unlawful shall be the highest rate permitted by
law. The rate of interest hereunder shall immediately increase to the rate
permitted hereunder as soon as permitted by law. Any interest which would
otherwise have become due to Lender but for the application of any law, shall,
to the extent legally permitted, be repaid to Lender in equal monthly
installments above the interest otherwise due at such time, so that the interest
otherwise due to Lender hereunder, but not permitted by law, shall be fully
repaid to Lender by the Maturity Date. Such payments shall be made at the time
and in the manner set forth herein for the payment of interest.

     Borrower shall be responsible to pay all costs and charges set forth in the
Loan Agreement.

     This Note is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement and is secured by, among
other instruments, one or more Deed of Trust and Security Agreement and Fixture
Filing with Assignment of Rent (collectively, the "Deed of Trust") of even date
herewith , encumbering certain real and personal property located in Washoe
County, Nevada, and Sierra County, California, and improvements thereon, as more
particularly described in the Deed of Trust (collectively, the "Property").

     Borrower shall have the right to borrow, repay and to reborrow the Loan
subject to the Maximum Availability. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the
entire outstanding principal balance hereunder at any time and obtain a
reconveyance of the Deed of Trust provided that such prepayment shall be
accompanied by a prepayment fee (the "Prepayment Fee") equal to one percent (1%)
of such outstanding principal balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender
agrees to waive the Prepayment Fee in the event that Lender provides financing
to fully prepay the Loan or Borrower prepays the Loan without refinancing with a
third party.

     All payments on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and
the balance to principal and if interest is unpaid, it shall bear interest like
principal at the Interest Rate. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing, and
other provisions of this Note, shall result in compounding of interest and
Borrower agrees thereto pursuant to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes
99.050.

     Borrower agrees with Lender that it would be extremely difficult or
impracticable to fix the actual damages of Lender in the event that any
installment of interest or principal hereunder shall not be paid when due and
that Lender will incur extra administrative expenses and loss of use of funds;
therefore, Borrower agrees to pay Lender, in the event a payment is not made
within ten days of the date it was due, an amount equal to 5% of such late
installment. Acceptance of such amount by Lender shall be in lieu of its actual
damages for any such delinquent payment of an installment. Nothing in this Note
shall be construed as an express or implied agreement by Lender to forbear in
the collection of any delinquent payment, or be construed as in any way giving
the Borrower the right, express or implied, to fail to make timely payments
hereunder, whether upon payment of such

damages or otherwise. The right of the holder hereof to receive payment of such
damages, and receipt thereof, are without prejudice to the right of such holder
to collect such delinquent payments and any other amounts provided to be paid
hereunder or under any security for this Note or to declare a default hereunder
or under any security for this Note.

         Failure to make any payment of principal and/or interest within fifteen
(15) days after the due date thereof or to otherwise perform hereunder or under
any other promissory note executed, or to be executed, by Borrower in favor of
Lender, or an Event of Default by Borrower under the terms of the Loan
Agreement, the Deed of Trust, any other agreement or instrument securing the
indebtedness evidenced hereby, or any other obligations of Borrower to the
holder hereof, shall constitute a default hereunder and shall, without notice,
at the option of the holder hereof, cause all of the unpaid principal of this
Note, with interest accrued thereon and any other sums due under the Loan
Agreement, Deed of Trust or other instruments, to become immediately due and
payable. Upon default hereunder, at the option of the holder hereof, all amounts
then unpaid under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust or any other
instrument securing the Note or the Loan Agreement shall bear interest from the
date of default until such default is cured at a default rate equal to five
percent (5%) above the applicable Interest Rate (the "Default Rate") and shall
be immediately due and payable. Delay or failure to exercise said options shall
not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise same at any time thereafter or
in the event of any subsequent default.

         The acceptance of any payment hereunder which is less than payment of
all amounts then due and payable shall not constitute a waiver of any of the
rights or options of the holder hereof or to the exercise of those rights and
options at the time of such acceptance or at any subsequent time. Principal,
interest and any fees hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United
States of America in immediately available funds free and clear of, and without
deduction for, any and all present and future taxes, withholdings, and costs or
reserves.

         In the event that suit be brought hereon, or an attorney be employed or
expenses be incurred to compel payment of this Note or any portion of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby, whether or not any suit, proceeding or any
judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding be commenced, Borrower promises
to pay all such expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, including, without
limitation, any attorneys' fees incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding, in the
event that Lender is the prevailing party with respect thereto.

         This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of Nevada, except as may be pre-empted by federal law. Borrower
agrees that Lender shall have the rights and remedies available to a creditor
under the laws of the State of Nevada. Borrower consents to the personal
jurisdiction of the appropriate state or federal court located in Washoe County,
Nevada.

         No waiver by Lender of any right or remedy shall be effective unless in
writing and signed by Lender, and no such waiver, on one occasion, shall be
construed as a waiver on any other occasion.

         In the event that this Note is executed by two or more persons or
entities as Borrower, the liability of such persons or entities for the amounts
due hereunder shall be joint and several.

         Each maker, endorser and guarantor jointly and severally and to the
extent permitted by law waives notice of intent to accelerate, demand,
presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest and non-payment of this
Note; waives any and all lack of diligence or delays in the collection or
enforcement hereof; and expressly agrees to remain and continue bound for the
payment of the principal, interest and other sums provided for by the terms of
this Note, the Loan Agreement or said Deed of Trust, notwithstanding any
extension of time for the payment of said principal or interest or other sum, or
any change in the amount agreed to be paid under this Note, the Loan Agreement
or in said Deed of Trust, or any change by way of release or surrender, exchange
or substitution for any real estate security or other collateral security now
held or which may hereafter be held as security for this Note, and waives all
and every kind of notice of such extension, or change, and agrees that the same
may be made without notice to or joinder of Borrower.

         In the event that the interest of Borrower in the Property encumbered
by the Deed of Trust, or any part thereof, or any interest therein is sold,
conveyed, alienated, further encumbered or otherwise transferred by Borrower,
voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, the
obligations hereunder, irrespective of the maturity dates expressed herein, at
the option of the holder hereof and without demand or notice, shall immediately
become due and payable. In the event that the holder hereof does not elect to
declare this Note immediately due and payable, then, unless indicated otherwise
in writing by the holder hereof, Borrower shall remain primarily liable for the
obligations hereunder, under the Deed of Trust and under any other instrument
securing this Note or executed in connection herewith. This provision shall
apply to each and every sale, conveyance, alienation, encumbrance or transfer,
regardless of whether or not the holder has consented to, or waived, holder's
rights hereunder, whether by action or nonaction, in connection with any
previous sale, conveyance, alienation, encumbrance or transfer and whether or
not the holder has received any payments after such event. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lender understands that Borrower intends to further encumber a
portion of the Property with a deed of trust in favor of Prospector Gaming
Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to secure an obligation in a principal
amount not to exceed $6,000,000. Lender consents to such further encumbrance so
long as the lien thereof shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the
lien of the Deed of Trust.

upon the Property in the event that such insurance is available pursuant to the
provisions of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or other applicable
legislation. Beneficiary shall reserve the right to require that Trustor secure
flood insurance in excess of the amount provided by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, if such insurance is commercially available, up to the
amount provided in Paragraph 2.04(a) hereof.

                           (d)      If requested by  Beneficiary, statutory
workers' compensation insurance (including employer's liability in amounts
required by the State Industrial Insurance System and, if applicable, insurance
covering claims of workers against employers arising under Federal law) covering
Trustor and employees of Trustor, in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary and in amounts not less than any minimum amounts established by law.

                           (e)      Such other insurance, and in such amounts,
as may from time to time be reasonably required by Beneficiary.

                           Such insurance policies shall be updated at
Beneficiary's request, but not less frequently than annually during the Loan
term.

          2.05.  All policies required by Paragraph 2.04 shall (i) be issued by
companies duly qualified and licensed to do such business in the State of Nevada
and approved by Beneficiary, (ii) shall be subject to the reasonable approval of
Beneficiary as to the insuring companies, amount, content and forms of policies
and expiration dates, (iii) contain a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause
and the Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their
equivalents, in favor of Beneficiary, (iv) provide that the proceeds thereof
shall be payable to Beneficiary (to the extent of its interest) (v) provide that
it cannot be modified or cancelled, to the extent that such modification or
cancellation substantially effects the Property, or Beneficiary's interest
thereon, without thirty days' prior written notice to Beneficiary, and (vi) be
primary and non-contributory with any other insurance of Beneficiary.

          2.06.  Trustor shall furnish to Beneficiary a certificate of each
policy required under Paragraph 2.04 and, at least thirty days prior to
expiration of any such policy, proof of issuance of a policy continuing in force
the coverage provided by the expiring policy. In the event Trustor shall fail to
maintain the insurance coverage required by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may
(but shall be under no obligation to) take out the required policies of
insurance and pay the premiums on the same or may make such repairs or
replacements as are necessary and provide for payment thereof; and all amounts
so advanced therefor by Beneficiary shall become an additional obligation of
Trustor to Beneficiary, which amounts, together with interest thereon at the
Default Rate (as defined and provided for in the Note), Trustor agrees to pay.

          2.07.  After the happening of any casualty insured against under
Paragraph 2.04, Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary.

          2.08.  Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary all insurance proceeds
which it may be entitled to receive and such proceeds shall be delivered to and
held by Beneficiary to be applied to the restoration of any portion of the
Property that has been damaged or destroyed to the same condition, character and
value as existed prior to such damage or destruction so long as the following
conditions have been satisfied: (i) Trustor is not in default hereunder, (ii)
Beneficiary's security is not materially impaired and (iii) Trustor deposits
with it the additional amounts necessary to accomplish such restoration. The
proceeds disbursed for restoration will be released to Trustor under the
procedures set forth in the Loan Agreement. In the event that the above
conditions are not satisfied, Beneficiary shall have the option, to apply the
insurance proceeds upon any indebtedness secured hereby in such order as
Beneficiary may determine or release such proceeds to Trustor without such
release being deemed a payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, rather than
to apply such proceeds to the restoration of the Property. Such application or
release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or
invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. If the Property is restored at
a cost less than the available insurance proceeds, then such excess proceeds
shall, if Trustor is not then in default hereunder, be paid over to Trustor.

          2.09.  In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other
transfer of the title to the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of
the indebtedness secured hereby, all

right, title and interest of Trustor in and to any insurance policy then in
force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee to the extent that such insurance
policy affects the Property.

     C.   Payments.

          2.10.  Trustor shall pay the principal, interest and other charges due
under the Note and the Loan Agreement according to their terms.

          2.11.  Trustor shall pay or cause to be paid:

                 (a)  Prior to the assessment of any penalty or delinquency, all
taxes, assessments and other governmental or public charges affecting the
Property, including assessments on appurtenant water stock, and any accrued
interest, cost and/or penalty thereon and shall submit paid receipt therefor to
Beneficiary upon request.

                 (b)  When due, all encumbrances (including any debt secured by
deed of trust), ground rents, liens, and/or charges, with interest, on the
Property or any part thereof which appear to be prior or superior hereto and all
costs, fees and expenses related thereto.

                 (c)  When due, all charges for utilities or services including,
but not limited to, electricity, gas, water and sewer.

          2.12.  Upon the occurrence of a default by Trustor hereunder, Trustor
shall pay to Beneficiary on the first day of each month, together with and in
addition to the regular installments of principal and interest due under the
Note, until the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the yearly taxes and assessments, insurance premiums,
lease rentals and other similar charges (including any amounts which may become
payable by Trustor pursuant to Paragraph 2.28 hereinbelow) as estimated by
Beneficiary to be sufficient to enable Beneficiary to pay at least thirty (30)
days before they become due, all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and
other similar charges against the Property. Beneficiary shall not be obligated
to pay interest on any such sums. Upon demand of Beneficiary, Trustor shall
deliver to Beneficiary such additional sums as are necessary to enable
Beneficiary to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and similar
charges.

          2.13.  Trustor shall pay immediately, upon demand, after expenditure,
all sums expended or expenses incurred by Trustee and/or Beneficiary under any
of the terms of this Deed of Trust, including without limitation, any fees and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any
reconveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, or to compel payment of the
Note or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced thereby or in connection with
any default thereunder, including without limitation attorneys' fees incurred in
any bankruptcy or judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding, with interest
from date of expenditure at the Interest Rate provided for in the Note.

<PAGE>

          2.14.  Trustor shall pay the amount demanded by Beneficiary or its
authorized servicing agent for any statement regarding the obligations secured
hereby; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed the maximum amount
allowed by law at the time request for the statement is made.

     D.   Condemnation.

          2.15.  If the Property, or any part thereof, is taken or damaged by
reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other
manner, Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other
payments or relief therefor to which Trustor shall be entitled, and shall be
entitled at its option to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any
action or proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with
such taking or damage to the extent of the interests of Trustor therein. All
such compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds to which
Trustor shall be entitled (the "Proceeds") are hereby assigned to Beneficiary,
who shall after deducting therefrom all its reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees, apply or release the Proceeds with the same effect and as
provided in Paragraph 2.08 above with respect to disposition of insurance
proceeds; provided, that if there are any excess Proceeds after application
thereof to the restoration of the Property, Beneficiary shall be entitled to
apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance due under the Note
without any adjustment in the dollar amount of the monthly installments due
under the Note. Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of the
Proceeds as Beneficiary or Trustee may require. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent the accrual of interest as provided in the Note on any portion of the
Proceeds to be applied to the principal balance due under the Note until the
Proceeds are received by Beneficiary.

     E.   Rents and Leases.

          2.16.  Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Trustor shall
submit to Beneficiary for its prior written approval the form of the tenant
lease to be used by Trustor for leasing any portion of the Improvements, and
after approval by Beneficiary in accordance with the Loan Agreement, shall not
materially modify such form of lease without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary. Trustor shall not accept prepayments of rent for any period in
excess of one month and shall perform all covenants of the Lessor under all
leases affecting the Property ("Leases"). "Leases", as used herein, includes any
extensions or renewals thereof and any amendments consented to by the
Beneficiary. Trustor shall not amend or terminate any Leases without the prior
written consent of Beneficiary and shall not consent to any assignment or
subletting under any Leases without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.
Trustor shall immediately give notice to Beneficiary of any default under any of
the Leases it receives or delivers. Beneficiary shall have the right but not the
obligation, to cure any default of Trustor under any of the Leases and all
amounts disbursed in connection with said cure shall be deemed to be
disbursements under the Loan Agreement.

          2.17.  Each lease of any portion of the Improvements shall be
absolutely subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust but shall contain a
provision satisfactory to Beneficiary that in the

event of the exercise of the private power of sale or a judicial foreclosure
hereunder such lease, at the option of the purchaser at such sale, shall not be
terminated and the tenant thereunder shall attorn to such purchaser and, if
requested to do so, shall enter into a new lease for the balance of the term of
such lease then remaining upon the same terms and conditions. Each such lease
shall, at the request of Beneficiary, be assigned to Beneficiary and each such
assignment shall be recorded and acknowledged by the tenant thereunder.

          2.18.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but
subject to Applicable Gaming Laws as of the execution of this Deed of Trust, or
as amended from time to time, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally
assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the leases, income, rent, issues,
deposits, profits and proceeds of the Property to which Trustor may be entitled,
whether now due, past due or to become due, and hereby gives to and confers upon
Beneficiary the right, power and authority to collect such income, rents,
issues, deposits, profits and proceeds of the Property to which Trustor may be
entitled, whether now due, past due or to become due. The assignment of the
Leases constitutes an irrevocable direction and authorization of all tenants
under the Leases to pay all rent, income and profits into an account specified
by Beneficiary upon demand and without further consent or other action by
Trustor. Trustor irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney,
at the option of Beneficiary at any time, to demand, receive and enforce
payment, to give receipts, releases, and satisfactions, and to sue, either in
the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary, for all such income, rents,
issues, deposits, profits and proceeds and apply the same to the indebtedness
secured hereby. It is understood and agreed that neither the foregoing
assignment of leases, income, rents, issues, deposits, profits and proceeds to
Beneficiary nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies
under this Paragraph 2.18 or under Paragraph 2.28 hereof shall be deemed to make
Beneficiary a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise responsible or liable in
any manner with respect to the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or
operation of all or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in the Note secured hereunder, so long as no Event
of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement shall have occurred, Trustor shall
have a license to collect all income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds from
the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor shall apply
the funds so collected as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, such license shall be deemed revoked and any rents
received thereafter by Trustor shall be delivered in kind to Beneficiary.
Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to enforce in Trustor's name or in Beneficiary's name or
otherwise all rights of Trustor in the instruments, including without limitation
checks and money orders, tendered as payments of rents and to do any and all
things necessary and proper to carry out the purposes hereof.

     F.   Other Rights and Obligations.

          2.19.  In addition to any other grant, transfer or assignment
effectuated hereby, without in any manner limiting the generality of the grants
in Article I hereof, Trustor shall assign to Beneficiary Trustor's interest in
all agreements, contracts, leases, licenses (excluding Casino Licenses), and
permits affecting the Property in any manner whatsoever, such assignments to be
made, if so requested by Beneficiary, by instruments in form satisfactory to
Beneficiary but no such assignment shall be construed as a consent by
Beneficiary to any agreement, contract, license or permit so assigned, or to
impose upon Beneficiary any obligations with respect thereto.

          2.20.  In the event of the passage, after the date of this Deed of
Trust, of any law deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of
taxation, any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the
taxation of deeds of trust or debts secured by deeds of trust, or the manner of
the collection of any such taxes, so as to affect this Deed of Trust, or
imposing payment of the whole or any portion of any taxes, assessments or other
similar charges against the Property upon the Beneficiary, the indebtedness
secured hereby shall immediately become due and payable at the option of the
Beneficiary; provided, however, that such election by Beneficiary shall be
ineffective if such law either (a) shall not impose a tax upon Beneficiary nor
increase any tax now payable by Beneficiary or (b) shall impose a tax upon
Beneficiary or increase any tax now payable by Beneficiary and prior to the due
date: (i) Trustor is permitted by law and can become legally obligated to pay
such tax or the increased portion thereof (in addition to all interest,
additional interest and other charges payable hereunder and under the Note
without exceeding the applicable limits imposed by the usury laws of the State
of Nevada); (ii) Trustor does pay such tax or increased portion; and (iii)
Trustor agrees with Beneficiary in writing to pay, or reimburse Beneficiary for
the payment of, any such tax or increased portion thereof when thereafter levied
or assessed against the Property or any portion thereof. The obligations of
Trustor under such agreement shall be secured hereby.

          2.21.  If required by Beneficiary at any time during the term of this
Deed of Trust, Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form
satisfactory to Beneficiary, an additional security agreement and/or financing
statement covering all personal property of Trustor which may at any time be
furnished, placed on, or annexed or made appurtenant to the Property and used,
useful or held for use, in the operation of the improvements thereon. Any breach
of or default under such security agreement shall constitute an event of default
under this Deed of Trust.

          2.22.  Trustor shall do any and all acts which, from the character or
use of the Property or the Collateral, may be reasonably necessary to protect
and preserve the security of Beneficiary, the specific enumerations herein not
excluding the general.

          2.23. Trustor will faithfully perform each and every covenant to be
performed by Trustor under any lien or encumbrance upon or affecting the
Property, including, without limiting the generality hereof, mortgages, deeds of
trust, leases, declaration of covenants, easements, conditions and/or
restrictions and other agreements which affect the Property, in law or in
equity,

<PAGE>

which Beneficiary reasonably believes may be prior and superior to the lien or
charge of this Deed of Trust. A breach of or a default under any such lien or
encumbrance shall constitute an event of default under this Deed of Trust.

          2.24.  Upon election of either Beneficiary or Trustee so to do,
employment of an attorney is authorized and payment by Trustor of all attorneys'
fees, costs and expenses in connection with any action and/or actions (including
the cost of evidence or search of title), which may be brought for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, and/or for possession of the property covered
hereby, and/or for the appointment of a receiver, and/or for the enforcement of
any covenant or right in this Deed of Trust contained as hereinafter provided
shall be secured hereby.

          2.25.  No personal property covered by the security interest granted
herein may be removed from the Property without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary unless Trustor shall immediately replace such personal property with
similar property of equivalent value on which Beneficiary has a valid first
lien.

          2.26.  Except for leases of portions of the Property in the ordinary
course of business, in the event that the interest of Trustor in the Property,
or any part thereof, or any interest therein is sold, conveyed, alienated,
further encumbered or otherwise transferred by the Trustor, voluntarily or
involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, the Note, irrespective
of the maturity dates expressed therein, at the option of Beneficiary, and
without demand or notice, shall immediately become due and payable. In the event
that Beneficiary does not elect to declare the Note immediately due and payable,
then, unless indicated otherwise in writing by Beneficiary, Trustor shall
nevertheless remain primarily liable for the obligations hereunder and under the
Note and any other instrument securing the Note. This provision shall apply to
each and every sale, conveyance, alienation, encumbrance or transfer, regardless
whether or not Beneficiary has consented to, or waived, Beneficiary's rights
hereunder, whether by action or non-action in connection with any previous sale,
conveyance, alienation, encumbrance or transfer and whether or not the holder
has received any payments after said transfer.

          2.27.  Trustor agrees to execute such documents and take such action
as Beneficiary shall reasonably determine to be necessary or desirable to
further evidence, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien and security
interest granted by Trustor herein.

          2.28.  Following a ten (10) day written notice to Trustor (unless
Beneficiary reasonably determines that emergency circumstances exist which would
make the giving of such notice impractical), at the time and in the manner
herein provided, Beneficiary may, without releasing Trustor from any obligation
hereunder and without waiving its right to declare a default or impairing any
declaration of default as herein provided or any sale proceeding predicated
thereon:

                 (a)  Make any payment or perform any act in such manner and to
such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof,
Beneficiary and Trustee being authorized to enter upon and take possession of
the Property for such purposes;

                 (b)  Commence, appear in and/or defend (except for any action
commenced by Beneficiary) any action or proceedings purporting to affect the
security hereof, and/or any additional or other security therefor, the
interests, rights, powers and/or duties of Trustee and/or Beneficiary hereunder,
whether brought by or against Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary (Trustor shall
also have the right to appear in or defend any such action and Trustor and
Beneficiary shall reasonably cooperate in any action or proceeding in which
their interests are the same or similar);

                 (c)  Pay, purchase, contest or compromise any claim, debt,
lien, charge or encumbrance which in the judgment of either may affect or appear
to affect the security of this Deed of Trust, the interest of Beneficiary or the
rights, powers and/or duties of Trustee and/or Beneficiary hereunder; and

                 (d)  Upon an event of default hereunder or under the Note,
Beneficiary is authorized either by itself or by its agents to be appointed by
it for that purpose or by a receiver appointed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, to enter into and upon and take and hold possession of any portion
or all of the Property, both real and personal, and exclude Trustor and all
other persons therefrom; and to operate and manage the Property and rent and
lease the same, perform such reasonable acts of repair or protection as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to conserve the value thereof, and collect any
and all income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds therefrom, the same being
hereby assigned and transferred to Beneficiary for the benefit and protection of
Beneficiary, and from time to time apply and/or accumulate such income, rents,
issues, profits and proceeds in such order and manner as Beneficiary or such
receiver in its sole discretion shall consider advisable, to or upon the
following: the expense of receivership, if any, the proper costs of upkeep,
maintenance, repair and/or operation of the Property, the repayment of any sums
theretofore or thereafter advanced pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust
upon the indebtedness secured hereby, the taxes and assessments upon the
Property then due or next to become due, and/or upon the unpaid principal of
such indebtedness. The collection and/or receipt of income, rents, issues,
profits and/or proceeds from the Property by Beneficiary, its agent or receiver,
after declaration of default and election to cause the Property to be sold under
and pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust shall not affect or impair such
default or declaration of default or election to cause the Property to be sold
or any sale proceedings predicated thereon, but such proceedings may be
conducted and sale effected notwithstanding the receipt and/or collection of any
such income, rents, issues, profits and/or proceeds. Any such income, rents,
issues, profits and/or proceeds in the possession of Beneficiary, its agent or
receiver, at the time of sale and not theretofore applied as herein provided,
shall be applied in the same manner and for the same purposes as the proceeds of
the sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be under any obligation to make
any of the payments or do any of the acts referred to in this Paragraph and any
of the actions referred to in this Paragraph may be taken by Beneficiary
irrespective of whether any notice of default or election to sell has been given
hereunder and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

     A.   Defaults.

          3.01.  Trustor shall be in default hereunder upon the breach of any
covenant or warranty contained herein, or if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Loan Agreement, the Note, or any other
obligation secured hereby, subject to any applicable notice requirement and
opportunity to cure.

     B.   Remedies.

          3.02.  Upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, or under the
Note, the Loan Agreement or any other documents executed in connection herewith,
then and in each such event, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby
immediately due and payable either by commencing an action to foreclose this
Deed of Trust as a mortgage, or by the delivery to Trustee of a written
declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of default and
of election to cause the Property to be sold, which notice Trustee shall cause
to be duly filed for record in case of foreclosure by exercise of the power of
sale herein. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of
sale herein, Beneficiary shall also deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the
Note and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as
Trustee may require, and notice of sale having been given as then required by
law and after lapse of such time as may then be required by law after
recordation of such notice of default, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall
sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of
sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may
determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of
the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or
any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of
sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public
announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall
deliver to such purchaser its deed or deeds conveying the Property, or any
portion thereof, so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
implied. The recitals in such deed or deeds of any matters or facts, shall be
conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor,
Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.

          3.03.  Beneficiary, from time to time before Trustee's sale, may
rescind any such notice of breach or default and of election to cause the
Property to be sold by executing and delivering to Trustee a written notice of
such rescission, which notice, when recorded, shall also constitute a
cancellation of any prior declaration of default and demand for sale. The
exercise by Beneficiary of such right of rescission shall not constitute a
waiver of any breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring, or
impair the right of Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Trustee, as above
provided, other declarations of default and demand for sale, and notices of
breach or default, and of election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy
the obligations hereof, nor otherwise affect any provision, agreement, covenant
or condition of the Note, the Loan Agreement and/or of this Deed of Trust or any
of the rights, obligations or remedies of the parties hereunder.

          3.04.  After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of
this Trust, including the cost of evidence of title in connection with sale and
attorneys' fees, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale as required by
applicable law.

          3.05.  If Beneficiary at any time holds additional security for any
obligations secured hereby, it may enforce the terms hereof or otherwise realize
upon the same, at its option, either before or concurrently herewith or after a
sale is made hereunder, and may apply the proceeds upon the indebtedness secured
hereby without affecting the status of or waiving any right to exhaust all or
any other security, including the security hereunder, and without waiving any
breach or default or any right or power whether exercised hereunder or contained
herein or in any such other security.

          3.06.  No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or
Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law
provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by this instrument to Trustee
or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be
exercised concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue
inconsistent remedies.

          3.07.  Subject to any notice requirement and opportunity to cure
contained herein, in the event of a default hereunder, Beneficiary, as a matter
of right and without notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under it, and without
regard to the then value of the Property or the interest of Trustor therein,
shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a
receiver or receivers of the Property, and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents
to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such
receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in
like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of
entry as provided herein and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers
until the date of confirmation of sale of the Property unless such receivership
is sooner terminated.

          3.08.  Beneficiary and Trustee acknowledge, understand and agree that,
to the extent the prior approval of the Gaming Authorities of the State of
Nevada is required pursuant to applicable law for the exercise, operation and
effectiveness of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as
defined in the Loan Agreement), or the taking of any action that may be taken by
Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including
without limitation the taking of possession and disposition of collateral
consisting of gaming devices, cashless wagering systems and associated equipment
(as those terms are defined in Nevada Revised Statutes 463.0155, 463.014 and
463.0136), such remedy or action shall be subject to such prior approval of the
Gaming Authorities of the State of Nevada and the Beneficiary or Trustee may be
subject to being called forward for licensing or a finding of suitability. All
rights, remedies and powers provided in this Deed of Trust may be exercised only
to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any provision of
Applicable Gaming Laws, and all provisions of this Deed of Trust are intended to
be subject to all mandatory provisions of the Applicable Gaming Laws, which may
be controlling.

IV.  COLLATERAL.

          4.01.  With respect to the security interest granted in paragraph
1.02, Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies granted to a secured
party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as all other
rights and remedies available at law or in equity; provided that Beneficiary
shall first apply for and receive all required approvals of the Gaming
Authorities having jurisdiction over the sale and disposition of Gaming
Equipment prior to the sale or disposition thereof. Trustor shall, upon the
demand of Beneficiary, assemble all of such personal property and make it
available to Beneficiary at the Property, which is hereby agreed to be
reasonably convenient to Beneficiary. The proceeds of any sale of such personal
property shall be applied first to the expenses of Beneficiary in retaking,
holding, preparing for sale, selling or similar matters, including reasonable
attorney's fees.

          4.02.  Until Beneficiary exercises its right to collect proceeds of
the Collateral pursuant hereto, Trustor will collect with diligence any and all
proceeds of the Collateral. Upon written request by Beneficiary, any proceeds
received by Trustor shall be in trust for Beneficiary, and Trustor shall keep
all such collections separate and apart from all other funds and property so as
to be capable of identification as the property of Beneficiary and shall deliver
such collections at such time as Beneficiary may request to Beneficiary in the
identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned when required to enable
Beneficiary to complete collection thereof.

          4.03.  Trustor shall (i) permit representatives of Beneficiary to
inspect the Collateral and Trustor's books and records relating to the
Collateral and make extracts therefrom and to arrange for verification of the
amount of Collateral, under procedures acceptable to Beneficiary, at Trustor's
expense; (ii) promptly notify Beneficiary of any attachment or other legal
process levied against any of the Collateral and any information received by
Trustor relative to the Collateral, Trustor's debtors or other persons obligated
in connection therewith, which may in any way affect the value of the Collateral
or the rights and remedies of Beneficiary in respect thereto; (iii) reimburse
Beneficiary upon demand for any and all costs, including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees, and other expenses incurred in
collecting any sums payable by Trustor under any obligation secured hereby, or
in the checking, handling and collection of the Collateral and the preparation
and enforcement of any agreement relating thereto; (iv) notify Beneficiary of
each location at which the Collateral is or will be kept, other than for
temporary processing, storage or similar purposes, and of any removal thereof to
a new location, including without limitation each office of Trustor at which
records relating to the Collateral are kept; (v) provide, maintain and deliver
to Beneficiary certificates of insurance insuring the Collateral against loss or
damage by such risks and in such amounts, forms and by such companies as
Beneficiary may require and with loss payable to Beneficiary, and in the event
Beneficiary takes possession of the Collateral, the insurance

policy or policies and any unearned or returned premium thereon shall at the
option of Beneficiary become the sole property of Beneficiary; (vi) do all acts
necessary to maintain, preserve and protect all Collateral, keep all Collateral
in good condition and repair and prevent any waste or unusual or unreasonable
depreciation thereof; and (vii) join with Beneficiary at its request from time
to time in executing financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation
statements, and pay the cost of the filing of the same whenever Beneficiary
deems desirable, and execute and deliver to Beneficiary further documents and
instruments and do such other acts and things as Beneficiary may reasonably
request in order to effectuate fully the purposes and intent hereof. Trustor
hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file financing statements, amendments, and
continuation statements in such filing offices as Beneficiary may determine
appropriate in connection with the security interest granted herein. Trustor
hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file financing statements, amendments, and
continuation statements in such filing offices as Beneficiary may determine
appropriate in connection with the security interest granted herein.

         4.04. Beneficiary may at any time, without prior notice to Trustor,
collect proceeds of the Collateral and may give notice of assignment to any and
all of Trustor's debtors, and Trustor does hereby irrevocably constitute and
appoint Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to enforce in Trustor's
name or in Beneficiary's name or otherwise all rights of Trustor in the
Collateral and to do any and all things necessary and proper to carry out the
purposes hereof; provided, however, Trustor shall have the right to collect,
retain, use and enjoy such proceeds subject to the terms hereof and the
documents securing Trustor's obligations thereunder prior to any default under
the Loan Agreement or any of said documents. It is hereby recognized that the
power of attorney herein granted is coupled with an interest and shall not be
revocable and Beneficiary shall have the right to exercise this power of
attorney upon any default under the Loan Agreement, hereunder or any of the
documents securing Trustor's obligations thereunder. (Beneficiary shall promptly
notify Trustor of any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this provision but
Beneficiary's failure to do so shall not invalidate any such act, affect any of
Trustor's obligations to Beneficiary or give rise to any right, claim or defense
on the part of Trustor).

V.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         5.01. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date
or in an amount less than the sum due, Beneficiary does not waive its rights
either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to
declare a default as herein provided for failure to pay the total sum due.

         5.02. At any time, or from time to time, without liability therefor and
without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this
Deed of Trust and the Note for endorsement, and without affecting the personal
liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or the
effect of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Property, Trustee may:
reconvey any part of the Property; consent in writing to the making of any map
or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon; or join in any extension
agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.

authorized to accept as true and conclusive all facts and statements in such
affidavit and to act hereunder in complete reliance thereon.

<PAGE>

                  2.06. Except for workers' compensation insurance, Trustor
shall furnish to Beneficiary a certificate of each policy required under
Paragraph 2.04 and, at least thirty days prior to expiration of any such policy,
proof of issuance of a policy continuing in force the coverage provided by the
expiring policy. In the event Trustor shall fail to maintain the insurance
coverage required by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may (but shall be under no
obligation to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums
on the same and all amounts so advanced therefor by Beneficiary shall become an
additional obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary, which amounts, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined and provided for in the Note),
Trustor agrees to pay.

                  2.07. After the happening of any casualty insured against
under Paragraph 2.04, Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Beneficiary.

                  2.08. Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary all casualty
insurance proceeds which it may be entitled to receive and such proceeds shall
be delivered to and held by Beneficiary to be applied to the restoration of any
portion of the Property that has been damaged or destroyed to the same
condition, character and value as existed prior to such damage or destruction so
long as the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) Trustor is not in
default hereunder; (ii) Beneficiary's security is not materially impaired; and
(iii) Trustor deposits with Beneficiary any additional amounts necessary to
accomplish such restoration. The proceeds disbursed for restoration will be
released to Trustor under procedures reasonably required by Beneficiary. In the
event that the above conditions are not satisfied, Beneficiary shall have the
option to apply the insurance proceeds upon any indebtedness secured hereby in
such order as Beneficiary may determine or release such proceeds to Trustor
without such release being deemed a payment of any indebtedness secured hereby,
rather than to apply such proceeds to the restoration of the Property. Such
application or release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default
hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. If the Property is
restored at a cost less than the available insurance proceeds and deposits, then
such excess proceeds and deposits shall, if Trustor is not then in default
hereunder, be paid over to Trustor.

                  2.09. In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or
other transfer of the title to the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in
part, of the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, title and interest of
Trustor in and to any insurance policy then in force shall pass to the purchaser
or grantee to the extent that such insurance policy affects the Property.

         C.       Payments.

                  2.10. Trustor shall pay the principal, interest and other
charges due under the Note and the Loan Agreement according to their terms.

                  2.11. Trustor shall pay or cause to be paid:

<PAGE>

                        (a) Subject to any right of contest contained in the
Loan Agreement, prior to the assessment of any penalty or delinquency, all
taxes, assessments and other governmental or public charges affecting the
Property, including assessments on appurtenant water stock, and any accrued
interest, cost and/or penalty thereon and shall submit paid receipt therefor to
Beneficiary upon request.

                        (b) When due, all encumbrances (including  any debt
secured by deed of trust), ground rents, liens, and/or charges, with interest,
on the Property or any part thereof which appear to be prior or superior hereto
and all costs, fees and expenses related thereto.

                        (c) When due, all charges for utilities or services
including, but not limited to, electricity, gas, water and sewer.

                  2.12. At the request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay to
Beneficiary on the first day of each month, together with and in addition to the
regular installments of principal and interest due under the Note, until the
indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full, an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of the yearly taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, and other
similar charges as estimated by Beneficiary to be sufficient to enable
Beneficiary to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due, all taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, and other similar charges against the Property.
Beneficiary shall not be obligated to pay interest on any such sums. Upon demand
of Beneficiary, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary such additional sums as are
necessary to enable Beneficiary to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums and similar charges. Provided that there then exists no Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary shall apply such sums to the
payment of taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums, as appropriate.

                  2.13. Trustor shall pay immediately, upon demand, after
expenditure, all sums expended or expenses incurred by Trustee and/or
Beneficiary under any of the terms of this Deed of Trust, including without
limitation, any fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection with any reconveyance of the Property or any portion
thereof, or to compel payment of the Note or any portion of the indebtedness
evidenced thereby or in connection with any default thereunder, including
without limitation attorneys' fees incurred in any bankruptcy or judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding, with interest from date of expenditure at
the Interest Rate provided for in the Note.

                  2.14. Trustor shall pay the reasonable amount demanded by
Beneficiary or its authorized servicing agent for any statement regarding the
obligations secured hereby; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed
the maximum amount allowed by law at the time request for the statement is made.

         D.       Leasehold Mortgage Provisions.

                  2.15. Trustor hereby warrants and represents as follows with
respect to:

perform, and comply with all the terms, covenants, and provisions of the Lease
on Trustor's part to be observed, performed, and complied with, at the times set

                            (d)  Trustor shall give Beneficiary immediate notice
of any default by any party to the Lease and promptly deliver to Beneficiary a
copy of each notice of default received by Trustor in connection with the Lease;

                            (e)  Trustor shall furnish to Beneficiary copies of
such information and evidence as Beneficiary may reasonably require concerning
Trustor's due observance, performance, and compliance with the terms, covenants
and provisions of the Lease; and

                            (f)  Any material default by Trustor under the Lease
shall constitute a default hereunder.

          2.17.  Trustor agrees that the fee title and the leasehold estate in
the Land under the Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and
distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates in either the Lessor
thereunder, Trustor, or a third party, whether by purchase or otherwise. If
Trustor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title, or interest in the
Land, or any part thereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to,
encumber, and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title, or interest, with the
same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein. Trustor agrees to
execute all instruments and documents which Beneficiary may reasonably require
to ratify, confirm, and further evidence Beneficiary's lien on the acquired
estate, title, or interest. Furthermore, Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver all such instruments and
documents in the name and on behalf of Trustor. This power, being coupled with
an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the indebtedness secured hereby
remains unpaid.

          2.18.  If the Lease is cancelled or terminated, and if Beneficiary or
its nominee shall acquire an interest in any new lease of the Land, Trustor
shall have no right, title, or interest in or to the new lease or the leasehold
estate created by such new lease.

          2.19.  Trustor shall use its best efforts to obtain and deliver to
Beneficiary within twenty (20) days after written demand by Beneficiary, an
estoppel certificate from the Lessor under the Lease setting forth: (i) the name
of the Lessor thereunder; (ii) that the Lease has not been modified or, if it
has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each
such modification); (iii) the basic rent payable under the Lease; (iv) the date
to which all rental charges have been paid by the tenant under the Lease; (v)
whether, to Lessor's knowledge, there are any alleged defaults, or existing
conditions that, with or without notice or after lapse of time could constitute
an alleged default, of the tenant under the Lease and, if there are, setting
forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail; and (vi) agreeing to furnish
Beneficiary with written notice of any default by Trustor thereunder.

          2.20.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary or apparently to
the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have no
liability or obligation under the Lease by reason of its acceptance of this Deed
of Trust. Beneficiary shall be liable for the obligations of the tenant arising
under the Lease for only that period of time which Beneficiary is in possession
of the Land, or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of
Trustor's right, title, and interest therein.

          2.21.  Trustor further covenants and agrees as follows:

                 (a)  If there shall be filed by or against Trustor a petition
under the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. (S) 101 et seq.), and Trustor, as lessee
under the Lease, shall determine to reject the Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy
Code, Trustor shall give Beneficiary not less than ten (10) days' prior notice
of the date on which Trustor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority
to reject the Lease. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to serve upon Trustor within such ten-day period a notice stating that: (i)
Beneficiary demands that Trustor assume and assign the Lease to Beneficiary
pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) Beneficiary

                                       11

<PAGE>

covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults
and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If
Beneficiary serves upon Trustor the notice described in the preceding sentence,
Trustor shall not seek the rejection of the Lease and shall comply with the
demand provided for in clause (i) within thirty (30) days after the notice shall
have been given, subject to the performance by Beneficiary of the covenant
provided for in clause (ii); and

                 (b)  Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect
of Trustor under the Bankruptcy Code, Trustor hereby assigns and transfers to
Beneficiary a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court for an order
extending the period during which the Lease may be rejected or assumed.

     E.   Condemnation.

          2.22.  If the Property, or any part thereof, is taken or damaged by
reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other
manner, Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other
payments or relief therefor to which Trustor shall be entitled, and shall be
entitled at its option to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any
action or proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with
such taking or damage to the extent of the interests of Trustor therein. All
such compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds to which
Trustor shall be entitled (the "Proceeds") are hereby assigned to Beneficiary,
who shall after deducting therefrom all its reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees, apply or release the Proceeds with the same effect and as
provided in Paragraph 2.08 above with respect to disposition of insurance
proceeds; provided, that if there are any excess Proceeds after application
thereof to the restoration of the Property, Beneficiary shall be entitled to
apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance due under the Note.
Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as
Beneficiary or Trustee may require. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the
accrual of interest as provided in the Note on any portion of the Note to be
paid by the Proceeds until the Proceeds are received by Beneficiary.

     F.   Rents and Leases.

          2.23.  Trustor shall submit to Beneficiary for its prior written
approval the form of the tenant lease to be used by Trustor for leasing any
portion of the Improvements, and after approval by Beneficiary, Trustor shall
not materially modify such form of lease without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall approve, or give reasonable justification for not
approving, such Lease modification within five (5) days following request by
Trustor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor may modify any Lease to increase
the leased premises thereunder without Beneficiary's consent provided that the
rent for such increased premises shall be not less than the existing rent under
such Lease. Trustor shall promptly provide Beneficiary with a copy of any Lease
modification. Trustor shall not accept prepayments of rent for more than one (1)
month, and up to two (2) months' rent as security deposits, and shall perform
all covenants of the lessor under all leases affecting the Property (other than
the Lease) ("Leases"). "Leases", as used herein, includes any extensions or
renewals thereof and any amendments consented to by Beneficiary. Except in the

                                 (702) 222-2500

event of a default under any Lease, Trustor shall not terminate any Lease
without the prior written consent of Beneficiary and shall not consent to any
assignment under any Lease without the prior written consent of Beneficiary
unless Trustor is required to consent thereto under the terms of such Lease.
Trustor shall immediately give notice to Beneficiary of any
default under any of the Leases it receives or delivers. Beneficiary shall have
the right but not the obligation, to cure any default of Trustor under any of
the Leases (if such default is not cured by Trustor within fifteen (15) days
following written notice thereof to do so) and all amounts disbursed in
connection with said cure shall be deemed to be disbursements under the Loan
Agreement.

          2.24.  Each Lease of any portion of the Improvements shall be
absolutely subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust but Beneficiary hereby
agrees that in the event of the exercise of the private power of sale or a
judicial foreclosure hereunder such lease shall not be terminated and shall
contain a provision satisfactory to Beneficiary that the tenant thereunder shall
attorn to such purchaser and, if requested to do so, shall enter into a new
Lease for the balance of the term of such Lease then remaining upon the same
terms and conditions. Each such Lease shall, at the request of Beneficiary, be
assigned to Beneficiary and each such assignment shall be recorded.

          2.25.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but
subject to Applicable Gaming Laws as of the execution of this Deed of Trust, or
as amended from time to time, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally
assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the leases, income, rent, issues,
deposits, profits and proceeds of the Property to which Trustor may be entitled,
whether now due, past due or to become due, and hereby gives to and confers upon
Beneficiary the right, power and authority to collect such income, rents,
issues, deposits, profits and proceeds of the Property to which Trustor may be
entitled, whether now due, past due or to become due. The assignment of the
Leases constitutes an irrevocable direction and authorization of all tenants
under the Leases to pay all rent, income and profits into an account specified
by Beneficiary upon demand and without further consent or other action by
Trustor. Trustor irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney,
at the option of Beneficiary at any time, to demand, receive and enforce
payment, to give receipts, releases, and satisfactions, and to sue, either in
the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary, for all such income, rents,
issues, deposits, profits and proceeds and apply the same to the indebtedness
secured hereby. It is understood and agreed that neither the foregoing
assignment of leases, income, rents, issues, deposits, profits and proceeds to
Beneficiary nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies
under this Paragraph 2.25 or under Paragraph 2.35 hereof shall be deemed to make
Beneficiary a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise responsible or liable in
any manner with respect to the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or
operation of all or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in the Note secured hereunder, so long as no Event
of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall have occurred, Trustor shall
have a license to collect all income, rents, issues, deposits, profits and
proceeds from the Property. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such
license shall be deemed revoked and any rents received thereafter by Trustor
shall be delivered in kind to Beneficiary. Trustor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to
enforce in Trustor's name or in Beneficiary's name or otherwise all rights of

Trustor in the instruments, including without limitation checks and money
orders, tendered as payments of rents and to do any and all things necessary and
proper to carry out the purposes hereof.

     G.   Other Rights and Obligations.

          2.26.  In addition to any other grant, transfer or assignment
effectuated hereby, without in any manner limiting the generality of the grants
in Article I hereof, Trustor shall collaterally assign to Beneficiary Trustor's
interest in all agreements, contracts, leases, licenses (excluding Casino
Licenses and lottery retailer's licenses) and permits affecting the Property in
any manner whatsoever, such assignments to be made, if so requested by
Beneficiary, by instruments in form satisfactory to Beneficiary but no such
assignment shall be construed as a consent by Beneficiary to any agreement,
contract, license or permit so assigned, or to impose upon Beneficiary any
obligations with respect thereto.

          2.27.  In the event of the passage, after the date of this Deed of
Trust, of any law deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of
taxation, any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the
taxation of deeds of trust or debts secured by deeds of trust, or the manner of
the collection of any such taxes, so as to affect this Deed of Trust, or
imposing payment of the whole or any portion of any taxes, assessments or other
similar charges against the Property upon Beneficiary, the indebtedness secured
hereby shall immediately become due and payable at the option of Beneficiary;
provided, however, that such election by Beneficiary shall be ineffective if
such law either (a) shall not impose a tax upon Beneficiary nor increase any tax
now payable by Beneficiary or (b) shall impose a tax upon Beneficiary or
increase any tax now payable by Beneficiary and prior to the due date: (i)
Trustor is permitted by law and can become legally obligated to pay such tax or
the increased portion thereof (in addition to all interest, additional interest
and other charges payable hereunder and under the Note) without exceeding the
applicable limits imposed by the usury laws of the State of Nevada; (ii) Trustor
does pay such tax or increased portion; and (iii) Trustor agrees with
Beneficiary in writing to pay, or reimburse Beneficiary for the payment of, any
such tax or increased portion thereof when thereafter levied or assessed against
the Property or any portion thereof. The obligations of Trustor under such
agreement shall be secured hereby.

          2.28.  If required by Beneficiary at any time during the term of this
Deed of Trust, Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form
satisfactory to Beneficiary, an additional security agreement and/or financing
statement covering all personal property of Trustor which may at any time be
furnished, placed on, or annexed or made appurtenant to the Property and used,
useful or held for use, in the operation of the improvements thereon. Any breach
of or default under such security agreement shall constitute an event of default
under this Deed of Trust.

          2.29.  Trustor shall do any and all acts which, from the character or
use of the Property or the Collateral, may be reasonably necessary to protect
and preserve the security of Beneficiary, the specific enumerations herein not
excluding the general.

          2.30.  Trustor will faithfully perform each and every covenant to be
performed by Trustor under any lien or encumbrance upon or affecting the
Property, including, without limiting the generality hereof, mortgages, deeds of
trust, leases, declaration of covenants, easements, conditions and/or
restrictions and other agreements which affect the Property, in law or in
equity, which Beneficiary reasonably believes may be prior and superior to the
lien or charge of this Deed of Trust. A breach of or a default under any such
lien or encumbrance shall constitute an event of default under this Deed of
Trust.

          2.31.  Upon election of either Beneficiary or Trustee so to do,
employment of an attorney is authorized and payment by Trustor of all attorneys'
fees, costs and expenses in connection with any action and/or actions (including
the cost of evidence or search of title), which may be brought for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, and/or for possession of the property covered
hereby, and/or for the appointment of a receiver, and/or for the enforcement of
any covenant or right in this Deed of Trust contained as hereinafter provided
shall be secured hereby.

          2.32.  No personal property covered by the security interest granted
herein may be removed from the Property without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary unless Trustor shall immediately replace such personal property with
similar property of equivalent value on which Beneficiary has a valid first
lien, or unless such removal shall not result in any substantial impairment of
Beneficiary's security hereunder.

          2.33.  Except for subleases of portions of the Property in the
ordinary course of business, in the event that the interest of Trustor in the
Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein is sold, conveyed,
alienated, further encumbered or otherwise transferred by Trustor, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, the Note, irrespective of the maturity dates
expressed therein, at the option of Beneficiary, and without demand or notice,
shall immediately become due and payable. In the event that Beneficiary does not
elect to declare the Note immediately due and payable, then, unless indicated
otherwise in writing by Beneficiary, Trustor shall nevertheless remain primarily
liable for the obligations hereunder and under the Note and any other instrument
securing the Note. This provision shall apply to each and every sale,
conveyance, alienation, encumbrance or transfer, regardless of whether or not
Beneficiary has consented to, or waived, Beneficiary's rights hereunder, whether
by action or non-action, in connection with any previous sale, conveyance,
alienation, encumbrance or transfer and whether or not the holder has received
any payments after said transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary
understands that Trustor may further encumber all or a portion of the Property
with a deed of trust in favor of Prospector Gaming Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, to secure an obligation in a principal amount not to exceed
$6,000,000. Beneficiary consents to such further encumbrance so long
as the lien thereof shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien of
this Deed of Trust.

          2.34.  Trustor agrees to execute such documents and take such action
as Beneficiary shall reasonably determine to be necessary or desirable to
further evidence, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien and security
interest granted by Trustor herein.

          2.35. Following a fifteen (15) day written notice to Trustor (unless
Beneficiary reasonably determines that emergency circumstances exist which would
make the giving of such notice impractical), unless Trustor is contesting such
matter in accordance with the loan documents executed in connection herewith, at
the time and in the manner herein provided, Beneficiary may, without releasing
Trustor from any obligation hereunder and without waiving its right to declare a
default or impairing any declaration of default as herein provided or any sale
proceeding predicated thereon:

                (a) Make any payment or perform any act in such manner and to
such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof,
Beneficiary and Trustee being authorized to enter upon and take possession of
the Property for such purposes;

                (b) Commence, appear in and/or defend (except for any action
commenced by Beneficiary) any action or proceedings purporting to affect the
security hereof, and/or any additional or other security therefor, and/or the
interests, rights, powers and/or duties of Trustee and/or Beneficiary hereunder,
whether brought by or against Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary (Trustor shall
also have the right to appear in or defend any such action and Trustor and
Beneficiary shall reasonably cooperate in any action or proceeding in which
their interests are the same or similar);

                (c) Pay, purchase, contest or compromise any claim, debt, lien,
charge or encumbrance which in the judgment of either may affect or appear to
affect the security of this Deed of Trust, the interest of Beneficiary or the
rights, powers and/or duties of Trustee and/or Beneficiary hereunder; and

                (d) Upon an Event of Default hereunder or under the Note, and
subject to the provisions of the Lease, the rights of subtenants, and the laws,
regulations and policies of any governmental or quasi-governmental agency with
jurisdiction over the Property, Beneficiary is authorized either by itself or by
its agents to be appointed by it for that purpose or by a receiver appointed by
a court of competent jurisdiction, to enter into and upon and take and hold
possession of any portion or all of the Property, both real and personal, and
exclude Trustor and all other persons therefrom; and to operate and manage the
Property and rent and lease the same, perform such reasonable acts of repair or
protection as may be reasonably necessary or proper to conserve the value
thereof, and collect any and all income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds
therefrom, the same being hereby assigned and transferred to Beneficiary for the
benefit and protection of Beneficiary (subject to the license in favor of
Trustor granted above), and from time to time apply and/or accumulate such
income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds in such order and manner as
Beneficiary or such receiver in its sole discretion shall consider advisable, to
or upon the following: the expense of receivership, if any, the proper costs of
upkeep, maintenance, repair and/or operation of the Property, the repayment of
any sums theretofore or thereafter advanced pursuant to the terms of this Deed
of Trust upon the indebtedness secured hereby, the taxes and assessments upon
the Property then due or next to become due, and/or upon the unpaid principal of
such indebtedness. The collection and/or receipt of income, rents, issues,
profits and/or proceeds from the Property by Beneficiary, its agent or receiver,
after declaration of default and election to cause the Property to

be sold under and pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust shall not affect
or impair such default or declaration of default or election to cause the
Property to be sold or any sale proceedings predicated thereon, but such
proceedings may be conducted and sale effected notwithstanding the receipt
and/or collection of any such income, rents, issues, profits and/or proceeds.
Any such income, rents, issues, profits and/or proceeds in the possession of
Beneficiary, its agent or receiver, at the time of sale and not theretofore
applied as herein provided, shall be applied in the same manner and for the same
purposes as the proceeds of the sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be
under any obligation to make any of the payments or do any of the acts referred
to in this Paragraph and any of the actions referred to in this Paragraph may be
taken by Beneficiary irrespective of whether any notice of default or election
to sell has been given hereunder and without regard to the adequacy of the
security for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

III.  DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

      A.   Defaults.

           3.01. An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall be an Event
of Default hereunder.

      B.   Remedies.

           3.02. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, or under
the Loan Agreement or any other documents executed in connection herewith, then
and in each such event, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby
immediately due and payable either by commencing an action to foreclose this
Deed of Trust as a mortgage, or by the delivery to Trustee of a written
declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of default and
of election to cause the Property to be sold, which notice Trustee shall cause
to be duly filed for record in case of foreclosure by exercise of the power of
sale herein. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of
sale herein, Beneficiary shall also deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the
Note and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as
Trustee may require, and notice of sale having been given as then required by
law and after lapse of such time as may then be required by law after
recordation of such notice of default, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall
sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of
sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may
determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of
the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or
any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of
sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public
announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall
deliver to such purchaser its deed or deeds conveying the Property, or any
portion thereof, so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
implied. The recitals in such deed or deeds of any matters or facts shall be
conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor,
Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.

<PAGE>

           3.03. Beneficiary, from time to time before Trustee's sale, may
rescind any such notice of breach or default and of election to cause the
Property to be sold by executing and delivering to Trustee a written notice of
such rescission, which notice, when recorded, shall also constitute a
cancellation of any prior declaration of default and demand for sale. The
exercise by Beneficiary of such right of rescission shall not constitute a
waiver of any breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring, or
impair the right of Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Trustee, as above
provided, other declarations of default and demand for sale, and notices of
breach or default, and of election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy
the obligations hereof, nor otherwise affect any provision, agreement, covenant
or condition of the Note, the Loan Agreement and/or of this Deed of Trust or any
of the rights, obligations or remedies of the parties hereunder.

           3.04. After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of
this Trust, including the cost of evidence of title in connection with sale and
attorneys' fees, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale as required by
applicable law.

           3.05. If Beneficiary at any time holds additional security for any
obligations secured hereby, it may enforce the terms hereof or otherwise realize
upon the same, at its option, either before or concurrently herewith or after a
sale is made hereunder, and may apply the proceeds upon the indebtedness secured
hereby without affecting the status of or waiving any right to exhaust all or
any other security, including the security hereunder, and without waiving any
breach or default or any right or power whether exercised hereunder or contained
herein or in any such other security.

           3.06. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or
Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law
provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by this instrument to Trustee
or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be
exercised concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue
inconsistent remedies.

           3.07. Subject to any notice requirement and opportunity to cure
contained herein, in the case of an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary, as
a matter of right and without notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under it, and
without regard to the then value of the Property or the interest of Trustor
therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to
appoint a receiver or receivers of the Property, and Trustor hereby irrevocably
consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any
such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of
receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary
in case of entry as provided herein and shall continue as such and exercise all
such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Property unless such
receivership is sooner terminated.

           3.08. Beneficiary and Trustee acknowledge, understand and agree that,
to the extent the prior approval of the Gaming Authorities of the State of
Nevada is required pursuant to applicable law for the exercise, operation and
effectiveness of any remedy hereunder or under any

other Loan Document (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or the taking of any
action that may be taken by Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, including without limitation the taking of possession and
disposition of collateral consisting of gaming devices, cashless wagering
systems and associated equipment (as those terms are defined in Nevada Revised
Statutes 463.0155, 463.014 and 463.0136), such remedy or action shall be subject
to such prior approval of the Gaming Authorities of the State of Nevada and the
Beneficiary or Trustee may be subject to being called forward for licensing or a
finding of suitability. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Deed of
Trust may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any provision of Applicable Gaming Laws, and all provisions of this Deed
of Trust are intended to be subject to all mandatory provisions of the
Applicable Gaming Laws, which may be controlling.

           3.09. All rights, remedies and powers in this Deed of Trust may be
exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any

Trust are intended to be subject to all mandatory provisions of the Applicable

IV.    COLLATERAL.

           4.01. With respect to the security interest granted in Paragraph
1.02, Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies granted to a secured
party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as all other
rights and remedies available at law or in equity; provided that Beneficiary
shall first apply for and receive all required approvals of the Gaming
Authorities having jurisdiction over the sale and disposition of Gaming
Equipment prior to the sale or disposition thereof. Upon an Event of Default,
Trustor shall, upon the demand of Beneficiary, assemble all of such personal
property and make it available to Beneficiary at the Property, which is hereby
agreed to be reasonably convenient to Beneficiary. The proceeds of any sale of
such personal property shall be applied first to the expenses of Beneficiary in
retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or similar matters, including
reasonable attorney's fees.

           4.02. Until Beneficiary exercises its right to collect proceeds of
the Collateral pursuant hereto, Trustor will collect with diligence any and all
proceeds of the Collateral. Upon an Event of Default and written request by
Beneficiary, any proceeds received by Trustor shall be in trust for Beneficiary,
and Trustor shall keep all such collections separate and apart from all other
funds and property so as to be capable of identification as the property of
Beneficiary and shall deliver such collections at such time as Beneficiary may
request to Beneficiary in the identical form received, properly endorsed or
assigned when required to enable Beneficiary to complete collection thereof.

           4.03. Trustor shall (i) permit representatives of Beneficiary to
inspect the Collateral and Trustor's books and records relating to the
Collateral and make extracts therefrom and to arrange for verification of the
amount of Collateral, under reasonable procedures acceptable to Beneficiary, at
Trustor's expense; (ii) promptly notify Beneficiary of any attachment or other
legal process levied

against any of the Collateral; (iii) reimburse Beneficiary upon demand for any
and all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' and
accountants' fees, and other expenses incurred in collecting any sums payable by
Trustor under any obligation secured hereby, or in the checking, handling and
collection of the Collateral and the preparation and enforcement of any
agreement relating thereto; (iv) notify Beneficiary of each location at which
the Collateral is or will be kept, other than for temporary processing, storage
or similar purposes, and of any removal thereof to a new location; (v) provide,
maintain and deliver to Beneficiary certificates of insurance insuring the
Collateral against loss or damage by such risks and in such amounts, forms and
by such companies as Beneficiary may reasonably require and with loss payable to
Beneficiary, and in the event Beneficiary takes possession of the Collateral,
the insurance policy or policies and any unearned or returned premium thereon
shall at the option of Beneficiary become the sole property of Beneficiary
unless such insurance is effected through blanket policies; (vi) do all acts
necessary to maintain, preserve and protect all Collateral, keep all Collateral
in good condition and repair and prevent any waste or unusual or unreasonable
depreciation thereof; and (vii) join with Beneficiary at its request from time
to time in executing financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation
statements, and pay the cost of the filing of the same whenever Beneficiary
reasonably deems desirable, and execute and deliver to Beneficiary further
documents and instruments and do such other acts and things as Beneficiary may
reasonably request in order to effectuate fully the purposes and intent hereof.
Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file financing statements, amendments,
and continuation statements in such filing offices as Beneficiary may determine
appropriate in connection with the security interest granted herein.

           4.04. Beneficiary may at any time, without prior notice to Trustor,
collect proceeds of the Collateral and may give notice of assignment to any and
all of Trustor's debtors, and Trustor does hereby irrevocably constitute and
appoint Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to enforce in Trustor's
name or in Beneficiary's name or otherwise all rights of Trustor in the
Collateral and to do any and all things necessary and proper to carry out the
purposes hereof; provided, however, Trustor shall have the right to collect,
retain, use and enjoy such proceeds and enforce such rights subject to the terms
hereof and the documents securing Trustor's obligations hereunder prior to any
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. It is hereby recognized that the
power of attorney herein granted is coupled with an interest and shall not be
revocable and Beneficiary shall have the right to exercise this power of
attorney upon any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. (Beneficiary shall
promptly notify Trustor of any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this
provision but Beneficiary's failure to do so shall not invalidate any such act,
affect any of Trustor's obligations to Beneficiary or give rise to any right,
claim or defense on the part of Trustor).

V.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

           5.01. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due
date or in an amount less than the sum due, Beneficiary does not waive its
rights either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or
to declare a default as herein provided for failure to pay the total sum due.

secured hereby or the effect of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the

perform under the terms of the Loan Agreement and this Deed of Trust.

                  5.05. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.33 hereof, this
Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties
hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors
and assigns. The term "Beneficiary" shall mean the owner and holder, including
pledgees, of the Note, now or hereafter and whether or not named as Beneficiary
herein. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the masculine
gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the

                  5.06. Trustee, upon presentation to it of an affidavit signed
by or on behalf of Beneficiary, setting forth any fact or facts showing a
default by Trustor under any of the terms or conditions of this Deed of Trust,
is authorized to accept as true and conclusive all facts and statements in such
affidavit and to act hereunder in complete reliance thereon.

                  5.07. If any provision hereof should be held unenforceable or

Beneficiary's relationship with Trustor.

                        (b)  To the extent  permitted by applicable law, Trustor
waives any defense arising by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of
Trustor or any other person; (ii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other
than payment in full of the obligations secured hereby; (iii) the application by
Borrower of the proceeds of any obligations secured hereby for purposes other
than the purposes represented by Borrower to Beneficiary or intended or
understood by Beneficiary or Trustor; (iv) any act or omission by Beneficiary
which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of
Borrower, any other person, any obligations secured hereby, or any collateral by
operation of law or otherwise; or (v) any modification of any obligations
secured hereby in any form whatsoever, including without limitation the renewal,
extension, compromise, acceleration or other change in time for payment or terms
of such obligations, increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, or
other change in the terms of such obligations or any part thereof, and Trustor
agrees to execute such amendments to this Deed of Trust as Beneficiary may
reasonably require to reflect that this Deed of Trust secures the obligations
secured hereby as modified.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Trustor has executed this Deed of Trust and
Security Agreement and Fixture Filing with Assignment of Rents as of the day
first written above.

     2.06. Except for workers' compensation insurance, Trustor shall furnish to
Beneficiary a certificate of each policy required under Paragraph 2.04 and, at
least thirty days prior to expiration of any such policy, proof of issuance of a

event Trustor shall fail to maintain the insurance coverage required by this
Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may (but shall be under no obligation to) take out
the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same and all
amounts so advanced therefor by Beneficiary shall become an additional
obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary, which amounts, together with interest
thereon at the Default Rate (as defined and provided for in the Note), Trustor
agrees to pay.

     2.07. After the happening of any casualty insured against under Paragraph
2.04, Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary.

     2.08. Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary all casualty insurance proceeds
which it may be entitled to receive and such proceeds shall be delivered to and

conditions have been satisfied: (i) Trustor is not in default hereunder; (ii)
Beneficiary's security is not materially impaired; and (iii) Trustor deposits
with Beneficiary any additional amounts necessary to accomplish such
restoration. The proceeds disbursed for restoration will be released to Trustor
under procedures reasonably required by Beneficiary. In the event that the above
conditions are not satisfied, Beneficiary shall have the option to apply the
insurance proceeds upon any indebtedness secured hereby in such order as
Beneficiary may determine or release such proceeds to Trustor without such
release being deemed a payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, rather than
to apply such proceeds to the restoration of the Property. Such application or
release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or
invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. If the Property is restored at
a cost less than the available insurance proceeds and deposits, then such excess
proceeds and deposits shall, if Trustor is not then in default hereunder, be
paid over to Trustor.

     2.09. In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other
transfer of the title to the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of

to any insurance policy then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee to
the extent that such insurance policy affects the Property.

the Note and the Loan Agreement according to their terms.

public charges affecting the Property, including assessments on appurtenant
water stock, and any accrued interest, cost and/or penalty thereon and shall
submit paid receipt therefor to Beneficiary upon request.

           (b) When due, all encumbrances (including any debt secured by deed of
trust), ground rents, liens, and/or charges, with interest, on the Property or
any part thereof which appear to be prior or superior hereto and all costs, fees

not limited to, electricity, gas, water and sewer.

installments of principal and interest due under the Note, until the
indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full, an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of the yearly taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, and other
similar charges as estimated by Beneficiary to be sufficient to enable
Beneficiary to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due, all taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, and other similar charges against the Property.
Beneficiary shall not be obligated to pay interest on any such sums. Upon demand
of Beneficiary, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary such additional sums as are
necessary to enable Beneficiary to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums and similar charges. Provided that there then exists no Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary shall apply such sums to the
payment of taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums, as appropriate.

     2.13. Trustor shall pay immediately, upon demand, after expenditure, all
sums expended or expenses incurred by Trustee and/or Beneficiary under any of
the terms of this Deed of Trust, including without limitation, any fees and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any
reconveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, or to compel payment of the
Note or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced thereby or in connection with
any default thereunder, including without limitation attorneys' fees incurred in
any bankruptcy or judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding, with interest
from date of expenditure at the Interest Rate provided for in the Note.

     2.14. Trustor shall pay the reasonable amount demanded by Beneficiary or
its authorized servicing agent for any statement regarding the obligations
secured hereby; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed the maximum
amount allowed by law at the time request for the statement is made.

  D. Leasehold Mortgage Provisions.

     2.15. Trustor hereby warrants and represents as follows with respect to:

                                       10

<PAGE>

           (a) The Lease is in full force and effect, unmodified by any writing
or otherwise,  except as has been specifically disclosed to Beneficiary;

           (b) All rent, additional rent, and other charges reserved in the
Lease have been paid to the extent they are payable as of the date hereof;

           (c) Trustor enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the Land
pursuant to the terms of the Lease;

           (d) Trustor is not in default under any of the terms of the Lease,
and, to the best of Trustor's knowledge, there are no circumstances which, with
the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event
of default under the Lease; and

           (e) To the best of Trustor's knowledge the lessor under the Lease
(the "Lessor") is not in default under any of the terms or provisions thereof on
the part of the Lessor to be observed or performed.

     2.16. Trustor further covenants and agrees as follows:

           (a) Trustor shall promptly and faithfully observe, perform, and
comply with all the terms, covenants, and provisions of the Lease on Trustor's
part to be observed, performed, and complied with, at the times set forth in the
Lease, without any allowance for grace periods, if any;

           (b) Trustor shall not do, permit, suffer, or refrain from doing
anything as a result of which there could be a default under or breach of any of
the terms of the Lease;

           (c) Except for renewals, extensions and rent re-determinations
pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Trustor shall not cancel, surrender, modify,
amend, or in any way alter or permit the alteration of any of the terms of the
Lease without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

           (d) Trustor shall give Beneficiary immediate notice of any default by
any party to the Lease and promptly deliver to Beneficiary a copy of each notice
of default received by Trustor in connection with the Lease;

           (e) Trustor shall furnish to Beneficiary copies of such information
and evidence as Beneficiary may reasonably require concerning Trustor's due
observance, performance, and compliance with the terms, covenants and provisions
of the Lease; and

           (f) Any material default by Trustor under the Lease shall constitute
a default hereunder.

     2.17. Trustor agrees that the fee title and the leasehold estate in the
Land under the Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and
distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates in either the Lessor
thereunder, Trustor, or a third party, whether by purchase or otherwise. If
Trustor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title, or interest in the
Land, or any part thereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to,
encumber, and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title, or interest, with the
same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein. Trustor agrees to
execute all instruments and documents which Beneficiary may reasonably require
to ratify, confirm, and further evidence Beneficiary's lien on the acquired
estate, title, or interest. Furthermore, Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver all such instruments and
documents in the name and on behalf of Trustor. This power, being coupled with
an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the indebtedness secured hereby
remains unpaid.

     2.18. If the Lease is cancelled or terminated, and if Beneficiary or its
nominee shall acquire an interest in any new lease of the Land, Trustor shall
have no right, title, or interest in or to the new lease or the leasehold estate
created by such new lease.

     2.19. Trustor shall use its best efforts to obtain and deliver to
Beneficiary within twenty (20) days after written demand by Beneficiary, an
estoppel certificate from the Lessor under the Lease setting forth: (i) the name
of the Lessor thereunder; (ii) that the Lease has not been modified or, if it
has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each
such modification); (iii) the basic rent payable under the Lease; (iv) the date
to which all rental charges have been paid by the tenant under the Lease; (v)
whether, to Lessor's knowledge, there are any alleged defaults, or existing
conditions that, with or without notice or after lapse of time could constitute
an alleged default, of the tenant under the Lease and, if there are, setting
forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail; and (vi) agreeing to furnish
Beneficiary with written notice of any default by Trustor thereunder.

     2.20. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary or apparently to the
contrary contained in this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have no liability or
obligation under the Lease by reason of its acceptance of this Deed of Trust.
Beneficiary shall be liable for the obligations of the tenant arising under the
Lease for only that period of time which Beneficiary is in possession of the
Land, or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of
Trustor's right, title, and interest therein.

     2.21. Trustor further covenants and agrees as follows:

           (a) If there shall be filed by or against Trustor a petition under
the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ` 101 et seq.), and Trustor, as lessee under the
Lease, shall determine to reject the Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code,
Trustor shall give Beneficiary not less than ten (10) days' prior notice of the
date on which Trustor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to
reject the Lease. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
serve upon Trustor within such ten-day period a notice stating that: (i)
Beneficiary demands that Trustor assume and assign the Lease to Beneficiary
pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) Beneficiary

                                       12

                                 (702) 222-2500

<PAGE>

covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults
and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If
Beneficiary serves upon Trustor the notice described in the preceding sentence,
Trustor shall not seek the rejection of the Lease and shall comply with the
demand provided for in clause (i) within thirty (30) days after the notice shall
have been given, subject to the performance by Beneficiary of the covenant
provided for in clause (ii); and

           (b) Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of
Trustor under the Bankruptcy Code, Trustor hereby assigns and transfers to
Beneficiary a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court for an order
extending the period during which the Lease may be rejected or assumed.

  E. Condemnation.

     2.22. If the Property, or any part thereof, is taken or damaged by reason
of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other manner,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or
relief therefor to which Trustor shall be entitled, and shall be entitled at its
option to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or
proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such
taking or damage to the extent of the interests of Trustor therein. All such
compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds to which Trustor
shall be entitled (the "Proceeds") are hereby assigned to Beneficiary, who shall
after deducting therefrom all its reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, apply or release the Proceeds with the same effect and as provided in
Paragraph 2.08 above with respect to disposition of insurance proceeds;
provided, that if there are any excess Proceeds after application thereof to the
restoration of the Property, Beneficiary shall be entitled to apply such excess
to the reduction of the principal balance due under the Note. Trustor agrees to
execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as Beneficiary or Trustee may
require. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the accrual of interest as
provided in the Note on any portion of the Note to be paid by the Proceeds until
the Proceeds are received by Beneficiary.

  F. Rents and Leases.

     2.23. Trustor shall submit to Beneficiary for its prior written approval
the form of the tenant lease to be used by Trustor for leasing any portion of
the Improvements, and after approval by Beneficiary, Trustor shall not
materially modify such form of lease without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall approve, or give reasonable justification for not
approving, such Lease modification within five (5) days following request by
Trustor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor may modify any Lease to increase
the leased premises thereunder without Beneficiary's consent provided that the
rent for such increased premises shall be not less than the existing rent under
such Lease. Trustor shall promptly provide Beneficiary with a copy of any Lease
modification. Trustor shall not accept prepayments of rent for more than one (1)
month, and up to two (2) months' rent as security deposits, and shall perform
all covenants of the lessor under all leases affecting the Property (other than
the Lease) ("Leases"). "Leases", as used herein, includes any extensions or
renewals thereof and any amendments consented to by Beneficiary. Except in the

                                       13

                                 (702) 222-2500

<PAGE>

event of a default under any Lease, Trustor shall not terminate any Lease
without the prior written consent of Beneficiary and shall not consent to any
assignment under any Lease without the prior written consent of Beneficiary
unless Trustor is required to consent thereto under the terms of such Lease.
Trustor shall immediately give notice to Beneficiary of any default under any of
the Leases it receives or delivers. Beneficiary shall have the right but not the
obligation, to cure any default of Trustor under any of the Leases (if such
default is not cured by Trustor within fifteen (15) days following written
notice thereof to do so) and all amounts disbursed in connection with said cure
shall be deemed to be disbursements under the Loan Agreement.

     2.24. Each Lease of any portion of the Improvements shall be absolutely
subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust but Beneficiary hereby agrees that
in the event of the exercise of the private power of sale or a judicial
foreclosure hereunder such lease shall not be terminated and shall contain a
provision satisfactory to Beneficiary that the tenant thereunder shall attorn to
such purchaser and, if requested to do so, shall enter into a new Lease for the
balance of the term of such Lease then remaining upon the same terms and
conditions. Each such Lease shall, at the request of Beneficiary, be assigned to
Beneficiary and each such assignment shall be recorded.

     2.25. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but
subject to Applicable Gaming Laws as of the execution of this Deed of Trust, or
as amended from time to time, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally
assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the leases, income, rent, issues,
deposits, profits and proceeds of the Property to which Trustor may be entitled,
whether now due, past due or to become due, and hereby gives to and confers upon
Beneficiary the right, power and authority to collect such income, rents,
issues, deposits, profits and proceeds of the Property to which Trustor may be
entitled, whether now due, past due or to become due. The assignment of the
Leases constitutes an irrevocable direction and authorization of all tenants
under the Leases to pay all rent, income and profits into an account specified
by Beneficiary upon demand and without further consent or other action by
Trustor. Trustor irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney,
at the option of Beneficiary at any time, to demand, receive and enforce
payment, to give receipts, releases, and satisfactions, and to sue, either in
the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary, for all such income, rents,
issues, deposits, profits and proceeds and apply the same to the indebtedness
secured hereby. It is understood and agreed that neither the foregoing
assignment of leases, income, rents, issues, deposits, profits and proceeds to
Beneficiary nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies
under this Paragraph 2.25 or under Paragraph 2.35 hereof shall be deemed to make
Beneficiary a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise responsible or liable in
any manner with respect to the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or
operation of all or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in the Note secured hereunder, so long as no Event
of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall have occurred, Trustor shall
have a license to collect all income, rents, issues, deposits, profits and
proceeds from the Property. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such
license shall be deemed revoked and any rents received thereafter by Trustor
shall be delivered in kind to Beneficiary. Trustor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to
enforce in Trustor's name or in Beneficiary's name or otherwise all rights of

Trustor in the instruments, including without limitation checks and money
orders, tendered as payments of rents and to do any and all things necessary and
proper to carry out the purposes hereof.

  G. Other Rights and Obligations.

     2.26. In addition to any other grant, transfer or assignment effectuated
hereby, without in any manner limiting the generality of the grants in Article I
hereof, Trustor shall collaterally assign to Beneficiary Trustor's interest in
all agreements, contracts, leases (excluding Casino Licenses), licenses and
permits affecting the Property in any manner whatsoever, such assignments to be
made, if so requested by Beneficiary, by instruments in form satisfactory to
Beneficiary but no such assignment shall be construed as a consent by
Beneficiary to any agreement, contract, license or permit so assigned, or to
impose upon Beneficiary any obligations with respect thereto.

     2.27. In the event of the passage, after the date of this Deed of Trust, of
any law deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation,
any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the taxation
of deeds of trust or debts secured by deeds of trust, or the manner of the
collection of any such taxes, so as to affect this Deed of Trust, or imposing
payment of the whole or any portion of any taxes, assessments or other similar
charges against the Property upon Beneficiary, the indebtedness secured hereby
shall immediately become due and payable at the option of Beneficiary; provided,
however, that such election by Beneficiary shall be ineffective if such law
either (a) shall not impose a tax upon Beneficiary nor increase any tax now
payable by Beneficiary or (b) shall impose a tax upon Beneficiary or increase
any tax now payable by Beneficiary and prior to the due date: (i) Trustor is
permitted by law and can become legally obligated to pay such tax or the
increased portion thereof (in addition to all interest, additional interest and
other charges payable hereunder and under the Note) without exceeding the
applicable limits imposed by the usury laws of the State of Nevada; (ii) Trustor
does pay such tax or increased portion; and (iii) Trustor agrees with
Beneficiary in writing to pay, or reimburse Beneficiary for the payment of, any
such tax or increased portion thereof when thereafter levied or assessed against
the Property or any portion thereof. The obligations of Trustor under such
agreement shall be secured hereby.

     2.28. If required by Beneficiary at any time during the term of this Deed
of Trust, Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form satisfactory
to Beneficiary, an additional security agreement and/or financing statement
covering all personal property of Trustor which may at any time be furnished,
placed on, or annexed or made appurtenant to the Property and used, useful or
held for use, in the operation of the improvements thereon. Any breach of or
default under such security agreement shall constitute an event of default under
this Deed of Trust.

     2.29. Trustor shall do any and all acts which, from the character or use of
the Property or the Collateral, may be reasonably necessary to protect and
preserve the security of Beneficiary, the specific enumerations herein not
excluding the general.

                                 (702) 222-2500

<PAGE>

     2.30. Trustor will faithfully perform each and every covenant to be
performed by Trustor under any lien or encumbrance upon or affecting the
Property, including, without limiting the generality hereof, mortgages, deeds of
trust, leases, declaration of covenants, easements, conditions and/or
restrictions and other agreements which affect the Property, in law or in
equity, which Beneficiary reasonably believes may be prior and superior to the
lien or charge of this Deed of Trust. A breach of or a default under any such
lien or encumbrance shall constitute an event of default under this Deed of
Trust.

     2.31. Upon election of either Beneficiary or Trustee so to do, employment
of an attorney is authorized and payment by Trustor of all attorneys' fees,
costs and expenses in connection with any action and/or actions (including the
cost of evidence or search of title), which may be brought for the foreclosure
of this Deed of Trust, and/or for possession of the property covered hereby,
and/or for the appointment of a receiver, and/or for the enforcement of any
covenant or right in this Deed of Trust contained as hereinafter provided shall
be secured hereby.

     2.32. No personal property covered by the security interest granted herein
may be removed from the Property without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary unless Trustor shall immediately replace such personal property with
similar property of equivalent value on which Beneficiary has a valid first
lien, or unless such removal shall not result in any substantial impairment of
Beneficiary's security hereunder.

     2.33. Except for subleases of portions of the Property in the ordinary
course of business, in the event that the interest of Trustor in the Property,
or any part thereof, or any interest therein is sold, conveyed, alienated,
further encumbered or otherwise transferred by Trustor, whether by operation of
law or otherwise, the Note, irrespective of the maturity dates expressed
therein, at the option of Beneficiary, and without demand or notice, shall
immediately become due and payable. In the event that Beneficiary does not elect
to declare the Note immediately due and payable, then, unless indicated
otherwise in writing by Beneficiary, Trustor shall nevertheless remain primarily
liable for the obligations hereunder and under the Note and any other instrument
securing the Note. This provision shall apply to each and every sale,
conveyance, alienation, encumbrance or transfer, regardless of whether or not
Beneficiary has consented to, or waived, Beneficiary's rights hereunder, whether
by action or non-action, in connection with any previous sale, conveyance,
alienation, encumbrance or transfer and whether or not the holder has received
any payments after said transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary
understands that Trustor intends to further encumber all or a portion of the
Property with a deed of trust in favor of Prospector Gaming Enterprises, Inc., a
Nevada corporation, to secure an obligation in a principal amount not to exceed
$6,000,000. Beneficiary consents to such further encumbrance so long as the
lien thereof shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien of this
Deed of Trust.

     2.34. Trustor agrees to execute such documents and take such action as
Beneficiary shall reasonably determine to be necessary or desirable to further
evidence, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien and security interest
granted by Trustor herein.

     2.35. Following a fifteen (15) day written notice to Trustor (unless
Beneficiary reasonably determines that emergency circumstances exist which would
make the giving of such notice impractical), unless Trustor is contesting such
matter in accordance with the loan documents executed in connection herewith, at
the time and in the manner herein provided, Beneficiary may, without releasing
Trustor from any obligation hereunder and without waiving its right to declare a
default or impairing any declaration of default as herein provided or any sale
proceeding predicated thereon:

           (a) Make any payment or perform any act in such manner and to such
extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary
and Trustee being authorized to enter upon and take possession of the Property
for such purposes;

           (b) Commence, appear in and/or defend (except for actions commenced
by Beneficiary) any action or proceedings purporting to affect the security
hereof, and/or any additional or other security therefor, and/or the interests,
rights, powers and/or duties of Trustee and/or Beneficiary hereunder, whether
brought by or against Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary (Trustor shall also have
the right to appear in or defend any such action and Trustor and Beneficiary
shall reasonably cooperate in any action or proceeding in which their interests
are the same or similar);

           (c) Pay, purchase, contest or compromise any claim, debt, lien,
charge or encumbrance which in the judgment of either may affect or appear to
affect the security of this Deed of Trust, the interest of Beneficiary or the
rights, powers and/or duties of Trustee and/or Beneficiary hereunder; and

           (d) Upon an Event of Default hereunder or under the Note, and subject
to the provisions of the Lease, the rights of subtenants, and the laws,
regulations and policies of any governmental or quasi-governmental agency with
jurisdiction over the Property, Beneficiary is authorized either by itself or by
its agents to be appointed by it for that purpose or by a receiver appointed by
a court of competent jurisdiction, to enter into and upon and take and hold
possession of any portion or all of the Property, both real and personal, and
exclude Trustor and all other persons therefrom; and to operate and manage the
Property and rent and lease the same, perform such reasonable acts of repair or
protection as may be reasonably necessary or proper to conserve the value
thereof, and collect any and all income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds
therefrom, the same being hereby assigned and transferred to Beneficiary for the
benefit and protection of Beneficiary (subject to the license in favor of
Trustor granted above), and from time to time apply and/or accumulate such
income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds in such order and manner as
Beneficiary or such receiver in its sole discretion shall consider advisable, to
or upon the following: the expense of receivership, if any, the proper costs of
upkeep, maintenance, repair and/or operation of the Property, the repayment of
any sums theretofore or thereafter advanced pursuant to the terms of this Deed
of Trust upon the indebtedness secured hereby, the taxes and assessments upon
the Property then due or next to become due, and/or upon the unpaid principal of
such indebtedness. The collection and/or receipt of income, rents, issues,
profits and/or proceeds from the Property by Beneficiary, its agent or receiver,
after declaration of default and election to cause the Property to be

sold under and pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust shall not affect or
impair such default or declaration of default or election to cause the Property
to be sold or any sale proceedings predicated thereon, but such proceedings may
be conducted and sale effected notwithstanding the receipt and/or collection of
any such income, rents, issues, profits and/or proceeds. Any such income, rents,
issues, profits and/or proceeds in the possession of Beneficiary, its agent or
receiver, at the time of sale and not theretofore applied as herein provided,
shall be applied in the same manner and for the same purposes as the proceeds of
the sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be under any obligation to make
any of the payments or do any of the acts referred to in this Paragraph and any
of the actions referred to in this Paragraph may be taken by Beneficiary
irrespective of whether any notice of default or election to sell has been given
hereunder and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

III. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
     ---------------------

  A. Defaults.

     3.01. An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall be an Event of
Default hereunder.

  B. Remedies.

     3.02. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, or under the
Loan Agreement or any other documents executed in connection herewith, then and
in each such event, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately
due and payable either by commencing an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust
as a mortgage, or by the delivery to Trustee of a written declaration of default
and demand for sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause
the Property to be sold, which notice Trustee shall cause to be duly filed for
record in case of foreclosure by exercise of the power of sale herein. Should
Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein,
Beneficiary shall also deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Note and
such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee
may require, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law and
after lapse of such time as may then be required by law after recordation of
such notice of default, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the
Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale,
either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine,
at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United
States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion
of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from
time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the
time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such
purchaser its deed or deeds conveying the Property, or any portion thereof, so
sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in

     3.03. Beneficiary, from time to time before Trustee's sale, may rescind any
such notice of breach or default and of election to cause the Property to be
sold by executing and delivering to Trustee a written notice of such rescission,
which notice, when recorded, shall also constitute a cancellation of any prior
declaration of default and demand for sale. The exercise by Beneficiary of such
right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any breach or default then
existing or subsequently occurring, or impair the right of Beneficiary to
execute and deliver to Trustee, as above provided, other declarations of default
and demand for sale, and notices of breach or default, and of election to cause
the Property to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, nor otherwise affect
any provision, agreement, covenant or condition of the Note, the Loan Agreement
and/or of this Deed of Trust or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of
the parties hereunder.

     3.04. After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this
Trust, including the cost of evidence of title in connection with sale and
attorneys' fees, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale as required by
applicable law.

     3.05. If Beneficiary at any time holds additional security for any
obligations secured hereby, it may enforce the terms hereof or otherwise realize
upon the same, at its option, either before or concurrently herewith or after a
sale is made hereunder, and may apply the proceeds upon the indebtedness secured
hereby without affecting the status of or waiving any right to exhaust all or
any other security, including the security hereunder, and without waiving any
breach or default or any right or power whether exercised hereunder or contained
herein or in any such other security.

     3.06. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary
is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or
permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute. Every power or remedy given by this instrument to Trustee or
Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be
exercised concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue
inconsistent remedies.

     3.07. Subject to any notice requirement and opportunity to cure contained
herein, in the case of an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary, as a matter
of right and without notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under it, and without
regard to the then value of the Property or the interest of Trustor therein,
shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a
receiver or receivers of the Property, and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents
to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such
receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in
like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of
entry as provided herein and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers
until the date of confirmation of sale of the Property unless such receivership
is sooner terminated.

     3.08. Beneficiary and Trustee acknowledge, understand and agree that, to
the extent the prior approval of the Gaming Authorities of the State of Nevada
is required pursuant to applicable law for the exercise, operation and
effectiveness of any remedy hereunder or under any

other Loan Document (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or the taking of any
action that may be taken by Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, including without limitation the taking of possession and
disposition of collateral consisting of gaming devices, cashless wagering
systems and associated equipment (as those terms are defined in Nevada Revised
Statutes 463.0155, 463.014 and 463.0136), such remedy or action shall be subject
to such prior approval of the Gaming Authorities of the State of Nevada and the
Beneficiary or Trustee may be subject to being called forward for licensing or a
finding of suitability. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Deed of
Trust may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any provision of Applicable Gaming Laws, and all provisions of this Deed
of Trust are intended to be subject to all mandatory provisions of the
Applicable Gaming Laws, which may be controlling.

     3.09. All rights, remedies and powers in this Deed of Trust may be

IV.  COLLATERAL.
     ----------

     4.01. With respect to the security interest granted in Paragraph 1.02,
Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies granted to a secured party
under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as all other rights and
remedies available at law or in equity; provided that Beneficiary shall first
apply for and receive all required approvals of the Gaming Authorities having
jurisdiction over the sale and disposition of Gaming Equipment prior to the sale
or disposition thereof. Upon an Event of Default, Trustor shall, upon the demand
of Beneficiary, assemble all of such personal property and make it available to
Beneficiary at the Property, which is hereby agreed to be reasonably convenient
to Beneficiary. The proceeds of any sale of such personal property shall be
applied first to the expenses of Beneficiary in retaking, holding, preparing for
sale, selling or similar matters, including reasonable attorney's fees.

     4.02. Until Beneficiary exercises its right to collect proceeds of the
Collateral pursuant hereto, Trustor will collect with diligence any and all
proceeds of the Collateral. Upon an Event of Default and written request by
Beneficiary, any proceeds received by Trustor shall be in trust for Beneficiary,
and Trustor shall keep all such collections separate and apart from all other
funds and property so as to be capable of identification as the property of
Beneficiary and shall deliver such collections at such time as Beneficiary may
request to Beneficiary in the identical form received, properly endorsed or
assigned when required to enable Beneficiary to complete collection thereof.

     4.03. Trustor shall (i) permit representatives of Beneficiary to inspect
the Collateral and Trustor's books and records relating to the Collateral and
make extracts therefrom and to arrange for verification of the amount of
Collateral, under reasonable procedures acceptable to Beneficiary, at Trustor's
expense; (ii) promptly notify Beneficiary of any attachment or other legal
process levied

against any of the Collateral; (iii) reimburse Beneficiary upon demand for any
and all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' and
accountants' fees, and other expenses incurred in collecting any sums payable by
Trustor under any obligation secured hereby, or in the checking, handling and
collection of the Collateral and the preparation and enforcement of any
agreement relating thereto; (iv) notify Beneficiary of each location at which
the Collateral is or will be kept, other than for temporary processing, storage
or similar purposes, and of any removal thereof to a new location; (v) provide,
maintain and deliver to Beneficiary certificates of insurance insuring the
Collateral against loss or damage by such risks and in such amounts, forms and
by such companies as Beneficiary may reasonably require and with loss payable to
Beneficiary, and in the event Beneficiary takes possession of the Collateral,
the insurance policy or policies and any unearned or returned premium thereon
shall at the option of Beneficiary become the sole property of Beneficiary
unless such insurance is effected through blanket policies; (vi) do all acts
necessary to maintain, preserve and protect all Collateral, keep all Collateral
in good condition and repair and prevent any waste or unusual or unreasonable
depreciation thereof; and (vii) join with Beneficiary at its request from time
to time in executing financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation
statements, and pay the cost of the filing of the same whenever Beneficiary
reasonably deems desirable, and execute and deliver to Beneficiary further
documents and instruments and do such other acts and things as Beneficiary may
reasonably request in order to effectuate fully the purposes and intent hereof.
Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file financing statements, amendments,
and continuation statements in such filing offices as Beneficiary may determine
appropriate in connection with the security interest granted herein.

     4.04. Beneficiary may at any time, without prior notice to Trustor, collect
proceeds of the Collateral and may give notice of assignment to any and all of
Trustor's debtors, and Trustor does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint
Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to enforce in Trustor's name or
in Beneficiary's name or otherwise all rights of Trustor in the Collateral and
to do any and all things necessary and proper to carry out the purposes hereof;
provided, however, Trustor shall have the right to collect, retain, use and
enjoy such proceeds and enforce such rights subject to the terms hereof and the
documents securing Trustor's obligations hereunder prior to any Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement. It is hereby recognized that the power of attorney
herein granted is coupled with an interest and shall not be revocable and
Beneficiary shall have the right to exercise this power of attorney upon any
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. (Beneficiary shall promptly notify
Trustor of any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this provision but
Beneficiary's failure to do so shall not invalidate any such act, affect any of
Trustor's obligations to Beneficiary or give rise to any right, claim or defense
on the part of Trustor).

V.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
     ------------------------

     5.01. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date or
in an amount less than the sum due, Beneficiary does not waive its rights either
to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a
default as herein provided for failure to pay the total sum due.

     5.06. Trustee, upon presentation to it of an affidavit signed by or on
behalf of Beneficiary, setting forth any fact or facts showing a default by
Trustor under any of the terms or conditions of this Deed of Trust, is
authorized to accept as true and conclusive all facts and statements in such
affidavit and to act hereunder in complete reliance thereon.

     5.07. If any provision hereof should be held unenforceable or void, then
such provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining provisions and shall
in no way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust.

acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. The Trust created
hereby is irrevocable by Trustor.

in full:

          (a) If the Pledgor shall, as a result of its ownership of the Pledged
Stock, become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate
(including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or
a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of
capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option
or rights, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in
exchange for any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof,
the Pledgor shall accept the same as the Pledgee's agent, hold the same in trust
for the Pledgee and deliver the same forthwith to the Pledgee, or its agent, in
the exact form received, together with an undated stock power covering such
certificate duly executed in blank, to be held by the Pledgee hereunder as
additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in
respect of the Pledged Stock upon the liquidation or dissolution of the
Corporation shall be paid over to the Pledgee to be held by it hereunder as
additional collateral security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution
of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Stock or any property
shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Stock pursuant to the
recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Corporation or
pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be
delivered to the Pledgee to be held by it, subject to the terms hereof, as
additional collateral security for the Obligations. Following the occurrence,
and during the continuance, of an uncured Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement, any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of
the Pledged Stock shall be received by the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall, until
such money or property is paid or delivered to the Pledgee, hold such money or
property in trust for the Pledgee, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor,
as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the Pledgee, the Pledgor will
not (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, the Collateral, or (ii) except as otherwise provided in
the Loan Agreement, create, incur or permit to exist any lien or option in favor
of, or any claim of any person with respect to, any of the Collateral, or any
interest therein, except for the lien provided for by this Pledge Agreement.

          (c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the
Pledgee, and at the sole expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly and
duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such
further actions as the Pledgee may reasonably request for the purposes of
obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement and of the
rights and powers herein granted. If any amount payable under or in connection
with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note,
other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall
be immediately delivered to the Pledgee, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory
to the Pledgee, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

     6. Cash Dividends; Voting Rights. Unless an event of default under the Note
        -----------------------------
shall occur and shall not be cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt by
Pledgor from Pledgee of written notice of such default, the Pledgor shall be
permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in the normal course of business of
the Corporation in respect of the Pledged Stock and to exercise all voting and
corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock.

     7. Rights of the Pledgor. If an event of default under the Note shall occur
        ---------------------
and shall not be cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by Pledgor from
Pledgee of written notice of such default, (i) the Pledgee shall have the right
to receive any and all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and
make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as it may determine,
and (ii) all shares of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the
Pledgee or its nominee, and the Pledgee or its nominee may thereafter exercise
(A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such shares of the
Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or otherwise and
(B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other
rights, privileges or options pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock as
if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right
to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in
the corporate structure of the Corporation, or upon the exercise by the Pledgor
or the Pledgee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such shares of
the Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver
any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent,
registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may
determine), all without liability except to account for property actually
received by it, but the Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise any such right,
privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or
delay in so doing. Effective upon the occurrence of an uncured Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement, Pledgor hereby appoints Pledgee as his
attorney-in-fact and proxy for the purposes of exercising the voting rights
herein granted as to the Pledged Stock.

     8. Remedies. If an event of default under the Note shall occur and shall
        --------
not be cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by Pledgor from Pledgee of
written notice of such default, the Pledgee may exercise, in addition to all
other rights and remedies granted in this Pledge Agreement and in any other
instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Pledgee, without demand of performance or other
demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (other than
the notice and opportunity to cure set forth above) may in such circumstances
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to
purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof
(or contract to do any of the foregoing), at

public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any
exchange, broker's board or office of the Pledgee or elsewhere upon such terms
and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk. The Pledgee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and,
to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase
the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.
The Pledgee shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net
proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization
or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind
incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the
Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Pledgee
hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such
order as the Pledgee may elect, and only after such application and after the
payment by the Pledgee of any other amount required by any provision of law,
including, without limitation, the Code, need the Pledgee account for the
surplus, if any, to the Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the
Pledgee arising out of the exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights
hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral
shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if
given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

     9. Private Sales.
        -------------

          (a) The Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect a
public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or
otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof
to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and
agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less
favorable to the Pledgee than if such sale were a public sale and agrees that
such circumstances shall not, in and of themselves, result in a determination
that such sale was not made in a commercially reasonable manner.

          (b) The Pledgor further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to do or
cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make any sale or
sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this paragraph 9
valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable law.
Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action
for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no event of
default has occurred under the Note.

     10. Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. The Pledgee's sole duty with
         -----------------------------------------
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral
in its possession, under the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the
same manner as the Pledgee deals with similar securities and property for its
own account. The Pledgee shall not be liable for failure to demand, collect or

                                        5

<PAGE>

realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
the Pledgor or otherwise.

     11. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein
         -------------------------------
contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and are powers coupled
with an interest.

     12. Severability. Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is
         ------------
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     13. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Pledge
         ------------------
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

     14. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. None of
         -------------------------------------------------------------
the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
Pledgor and the Pledgee, provided that any provision of this Pledge Agreement
may be waived by the Pledgee in a letter or agreement executed by the Pledgee or
by facsimile transmission from the Pledgee. This Pledge Agreement shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor and shall inure to the
benefit of the Pledgee and its successors and assigns. This Pledge Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Nevada.

     15. Notices. Notices by the Pledgee to the Pledgor may be given by
         -------

Pledgor, and shall be effective as of the date of receipt thereof, as follows:

     16. Termination of Agreement. When all of the Obligations have been
         ------------------------
satisfied in full, this Pledge Agreement shall terminate and the certificates
evidencing the Pledged Stock and the Stock Power delivered to Pledgee by Pledgor
shall be delivered over to Pledgor.

     17. Gaming Approval. Pledgor and Pledgee further agree that:
