The remaining option shares shall vest in a series of                twelve                (12) successive equal quarterly installments upon the Director’s                completion of each additional quarter serving as a member of the                Board                over the three (3) year period beginning one (1) year from the date                hereof. The Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) in the form                attached as Exhibit A, to be entered into at the time of the grant                of the                Option shall provide that all Option Shares subject to the Option                Agreement at the time of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2004                Stock                Incentive Plan) not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in                full                immediately prior to the effective date of the Change of Control                so that                the Option may be exercised for any or all of the Option Shares.                In                addition, if Optionee is terminated without Cause (as defined below)                as a                member of the Board of Directors by the Company without Director’s written                consent, or if the shareholders of the Company do not re-elect Director                as                a member of the Board of Directors at any time during the term of                the                Option, or in the event of a Constructive Termination (as defined                below)                of Director’s service as a member of the Board of Directors at any time                during the term of the Option, the Option shall become exercisable                in full                and may be exercised for any or all of the Option Shares. For purposes                of                this Agreement, “Cause” means (i) Director’s conviction (by a court of                competent jurisdiction, not subject to further appeal) of, or pleading                guilty to, a felony or a crime involving fraud or dishonesty against                the                Company; or (ii) Director’s willful and continued failure to substantially                perform Director’s duties for the Company which failure continues for                thirty (30) days following Director’s receipt of written notice of such                failure to perform or (iii) Director’s death, or any illness, disability                or other incapacity in such a manner that Director is physically                rendered                unable regularly to perform his duties hereunder for a period in                excess of                one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or (iv) Director having                ownership interest (other than ownership, for strictly investment                purposes, of less than five percent (5%) of the capital stock of                a                company) in any entity including Lakes Entertainment, Inc., WPT                Enterprises, Inc. or Sklansky Games, LLC which engages in Competing                Activities (as defined in Section 3.3). For purposes of this Agreement,                “Constructive Termination” means Director’s resignation from the Board of                Directors following the Company’s failure to (i) obtain director and                officer liability insurance acceptable to Director within thirty                (90) days                after the date of this Agreement, or (ii) maintain such insurance                coverage                at all times thereafter. |

The parties                acknowledge that the covenants contained in this paragraph 3.3 are                made by                Director personally and not by any third party.

| 4.                  | Miscellaneous.                This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties                with                respect to the matters referred to herein, and no other arrangement,                understanding or agreement, verbal or otherwise, shall be binding                upon the                parties hereto. This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the                parties                hereto, and may not be amended or modified, except by the written                consent                of both parties hereto. No failure or delay on the part of any party                hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate                as                a waiver thereof. Headings to Sections herein are for the convenience                of                the parties only, and are not intended to be or to affect the meaning                or                interpretation of this Agreement. The Company shall have the right                to                enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific                performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice                to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for the                breach                of this Agreement. In the event that any covenant, condition or other                provision contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, void                or                illegal by any court of competent jurisdiction, the same shall be                deemed                severable from the remainder thereof, and shall in no way affect,                impair                or invalidate any other covenant, condition or other provision therein                contained. If such condition, covenant or other provisions shall                be deemed                invalid due to its scope or breadth, such covenant, condition or                other                provision shall be deemed valid to the extent permitted by law. All                notices required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be effective                only if in writing and shall be deemed given when received by the                party to                whom notice is required to be given and shall be delivered personally,                or                by registered mail to the addresses set forth                above. |
