EXHIBIT 10.29

ANCHOR GAMING
EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS
AGREEMENT, dated as of September 24, 2000, is by and between Anchor Gaming, a Nevada corporation ("ANCHOR GAMING"), and Christer S. T. Roman (the "PARTICIPANT").

RECITALS

WHEREAS,
Anchor Gaming has adopted the Anchor Gaming 1995 Stock Option Plan and the Anchor Gaming 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively the "PLAN") to enable employees of Anchor
Gaming and its majority-owned subsidiaries to acquire shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of Anchor Gaming ("COMMON STOCK") in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors (the "BOARD") has selected Participant to participate in the 1995 Plan and the 2000 Plan and has determined to grant Participant the right and option
to purchase shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that if any change is made in the shares of Common Stock (including, but not limited to,
changes by stock dividend, stock split, merger or consolidation, but not including the issuance of additional shares for consideration), the Board of Directors or the Committee appointed to administer
the Plan (the "COMMITTEE"), will make such adjustments in the number and kind of shares (which may consist of shares of a surviving corporation to a merger) that may thereafter be optioned and sold
under the 1995 Plan or the 2000 Plan, as applicable, and the number and kind of securities or other property (which may consist of shares of a surviving corporation to a merger) and purchase price per
share of shares subject to outstanding Stock Option Agreements under the 1995 Plan and the 2000 Plan as the Board of Directors or the Committee determines are equitable to preserve the respective
rights of the Participants under the 1995 Plan or the 2000 Plan, as applicable.

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Anchor Gaming and Participant agree as
follows:

1.DEFINITIONS.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated:



---



2

---



2.GRANT OF OPTION; PURCHASE OF STOCK.



3

---



3.RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.  The Option may not be sold or otherwise transferred and is exercisable
only by Participant during Participant's lifetime unless the transfer is by will or the laws of descent and distribution upon Participant's death. Anchor Gaming is not obligated to recognize any
purported sale or other transfer of the Option or any Purchased Stock in violation of this Section 3 and, unless it elects to do otherwise, may treat any such purported sale or transfer as
null, void, and of no effect.

4.RIGHTS TO BUY BACK PURCHASED STOCK AND TO REQUIRE PAYBACK OF CERTAIN PROFITS.



5.COMPETITION AND NON-DISCLOSURE.  Participant acknowledges that: (i) in the course
and as a result of employment with the Company, Participant will obtain special training and knowledge and will come in contact with the Company's current and potential customers, which

4

---

training, knowledge, and contacts would provide invaluable benefits to competitors of the Company; (ii) the Company is continuously developing or receiving Confidential Information, and that
during Participant's employment he or she will receive Confidential Information from the Company, its customers and suppliers and special training related to the Company's business methodologies; and
(iii) Participant's employment by Company creates a relationship of trust that extends to all Confidential Information that becomes known to Participant. Accordingly, and as a material
inducement to Anchor Gaming to grant this Option to Participant and other good and valuable consideration, Participant agrees that Anchor Gaming will be entitled, as its sole remedy under this
Agreement, to terminate all rights to exercise the Option and to exercise the rights specified in SECTION 4 if Participant does any of the following without the prior written consent of the Company:



The
existence of any claim or cause of action of Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense of the Company's
enforcement of the covenants set forth in this SECTION 5. The Participant hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada and federal courts therein for the purposes of any
actions or proceedings

5

---

instituted by the Company to obtain such injunctive relief. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the obligations contained in SECTION 5 of this Agreement are fair, do not unreasonably
restrict Participant's further employment and business opportunities, and are commensurate with the compensation arrangements set out in this Agreement. The covenants contained in SECTION 5 will each
be construed as an Agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. Both parties intend to make the covenants of SECTION 5 binding only to the extent that it may be lawfully done under
existing applicable laws.

If
any court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this SECTION 5 to be unreasonable as to substantive scope, duration or geographic scope, then the Participant expressly
agrees that, at Anchor's sole discretion, and in addition to any other remedies at law or equity that may be available to Anchor Gaming: (i) such provision will be considered to be amended to
provide the broadest scope of protection to the Company that such court would find reasonable and enforceable or (ii) Anchor Gaming may require that this Agreement be rescinded.

This
SECTION 5 of this Agreement will survive either termination of the employment relationship or termination of this Agreement for the full period set forth in this SECTION 5.

6.COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.  Participant agrees that neither Participant nor any successor in
interest of Participant will sell or otherwise transfer the Option or any shares of Purchased Stock in any way that might result in a violation of any federal or state securities laws or regulations.
Participant acknowledges and agrees that Anchor Gaming may require Participant or any subsequent holder of the Option or of any shares of Purchased Stock to provide Anchor Gaming, prior to any sale or
other transfer, with such other representations, commitments, and opinions regarding compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations as Anchor Gaming may deem necessary or advisable. Anchor
Gaming agrees to use its best efforts to cause a registration statement covering resales of the Purchased Shares to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to be effective, and to
list the Purchased Shares on Nasdaq and any other securities exchange on which the common stock of Anchor Gaming is listed for trading.

7.STOCK CERTIFICATES; RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.  All certificates representing shares of Purchased Stock
will bear such legends as the Board determines are necessary or appropriate. Whether or not certificates representing shares of Purchased Stock have been issued or delivered, Participant will have all
the rights of a shareholder of Purchased Stock, including voting, dividend and distribution
rights, with respect to shares of Purchased Stock owned by Participant. Participant will not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to the Option before
the date of issuance to Participant of shares upon exercise of the Option.

8.INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING.  Participant will, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for, or
the Company may withhold from sums or property otherwise due or payable to Participant, any amounts the Company is required to remit to applicable taxing authorities as income tax withholding with
respect to the Option or any Purchased Stock. If shares of Purchased Stock are withheld for such purpose, they will be withheld at Market Value. If Participant fails to reimburse the Company for any
such amount when requested, the Company has the right to recover that amount by selling or canceling sufficient shares of any Purchased Stock held by Participant.

9.COMPLIANCE WITH PLANS.  Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the 2000 Plan and the 1995 Plan
and further acknowledges that this Agreement is entered into, and the Option is granted, pursuant to the applicable Plan. If the provisions of such Plans are inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, the provisions of such Plans supersede the provisions of this Agreement.

10.NOTICES.  Any notice to Anchor Gaming or the Company that is required or permitted by this Agreement
will be addressed to the attention of the Secretary of Anchor Gaming at its principal office. Any notice to Participant that is required or permitted by this Agreement will be addressed to

other written notice of the new address and the date upon which it will become effective. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits any notice from one party to another, the notice must be in
writing to be effective and, if mailed, will be deemed to have been given on the third business day after the same is enclosed in an envelope, addressed to the party to be notified at the appropriate
address, properly stamped, sealed, and deposited in the United States mail, and, if mailed to the Company, by certified mail, return receipt requested.

11.REMEDIES.  Anchor Gaming is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in
equity, to temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Any action to enforce the provisions of, or relating to, this Agreement may be
brought in the state or federal courts having jurisdiction in the State of Nevada. By signing this Agreement, Participant consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in any such action.

12.ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns. However, Participant does
not have the power or right to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Anchor Gaming.

13.ATTORNEYS' FEES.  If any legal proceeding is brought to enforce or interpret the terms of this
Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which that party may be entitled.

14.SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason,
the validity and enforceability of all other provisions of this Agreement will not be affected.

15.HEADINGS.  The section headings used herein are for reference and convenience only and do not affect
the interpretation of this Agreement.

16.GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEVADA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES IN SUCH LAW OR ANY OTHER PRINCIPLE THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

17.ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement, together with the 1995 Plan and the 2000 Plan, as applicable, and
any procedure adopted by the Board or the Committee under the Plan, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and may be waived or modified only in
writing.
