		  	NON QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of April 28, 2014, between AP GAMING HOLDCO, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Optionee set
forth on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Optionee”).

 WHEREAS, the Company, acting through the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) has agreed to grant to the Optionee, effective on the date hereof (the “Grant Date”), an option under the AP Gaming Holdco, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan or the Securityholders Agreement (as defined in the Plan), as the case may be) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock
(“Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan; 
 WHEREAS, as of
the date hereof the Optionee is purchasing Shares from the Company pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and has entered into an adoption agreement, dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which the Optionee became a party to the Securityholders
Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, future securities in the Company (including those being acquired pursuant to this Agreement) owned by the
Optionee shall be subject to the terms of the Securityholders Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of
the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. The Plan. The terms
and provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth herein in their entirety. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. A copy of the
Plan may be obtained from the Company by the Optionee upon request. 
 Section 2. Option; Option Price. Effective on the Grant
Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Optionee a fully vested option (the “Option”) to purchase Shares on the terms set forth herein and in the amounts set
forth on the signature page hereto. To the extent permitted by the Board, payment of the Option Price may be made in any manner specified by Section 5.6 of the Plan. The Option is not intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as an
“incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 
 Section 3. Term. The term of the
Option shall commence on the Grant Date and expire on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Grant Date and the Optionee’s Termination of Service for any reason. Upon expiration, the Option shall immediately terminate and become null and
void, unexercisable and be of no further force and effect. 
 Section 4. Restriction on Transfer/Securityholders Agreement. The
Option may not be transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Optionee, except (i) if permitted by the Board, (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or








 
(iii) pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company. The Option shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant
to the exercise of Options hereunder will be subject to the Securityholders Agreement. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Securityholders
Agreement shall be null and void and without effect. 
 Section 5. Optionee’s Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in
the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, to
terminate the Optionee’s employment or to increase or decrease the Optionee’s compensation at any time. 
 Section 6.
Securities Law Representations. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option and the Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), based, in part, on either
(i) reliance upon an exemption from registration under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the fact that the Optionee is an “accredited investor” (as defined under the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), and, in each of (i) and (ii) above, a comparable exemption from qualification under applicable state securities laws, as each may be amended from time to time. The
Optionee, by executing this Agreement, hereby makes the following representations to the Company and acknowledges that the Company’s reliance on federal and state securities law exemptions from registration and qualification is predicated, in
substantial part, upon the accuracy of these representations: 
 (a) The Optionee is an “accredited investor” within the
meaning of Rule 501(a)(4), (5) or (6) of the Securities Act. 
 (b) The Optionee is acquiring the Option and, if and when he
exercises the Option, will acquire the Shares solely for the Optionee’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to or an intent to sell, or to offer for resale in connection with any unregistered distribution, all or any
portion of the Shares or Option within the meaning of the Securities Act and/or any applicable state securities laws. 
 (c) The Optionee
acknowledges that he has not acquired the Option or the Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising in the United States, including any meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general
advertising. 
 (d) The Optionee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the Option and the restrictions imposed on any Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option. The Optionee has been furnished with, and/or has access to, such information as he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
exercise the Option and purchase the Shares. However, in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, the Optionee has relied and will rely only upon the advice of his own legal counsel, tax advisors and/or investment advisors.

 (e) The Optionee is aware that the Option may be of no practical value, that any value it may
have depends on its exercisability as well as an increase in the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares to an amount in excess of the Option Price, and that any investment in common shares of a closely held corporation such as the Company is
non-marketable, non-transferable and could require capital to be invested for an indefinite period of time, possibly without return, and at substantial risk of loss. 

(f) The Optionee understands that the Option and the Shares are being offered in an acquisition not involving any public offering within the
United States within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Option and the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and that the Option and the Shares are “restricted securities” as defined by Rule
144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances, including in accordance with the conditions
of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or in an offshore acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, each as presently in effect. The Optionee acknowledges reviewing a copy of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and represents that he is familiar with such rule, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and the
applicable state securities law. 
 (g) The Optionee agrees that he will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any
jurisdiction in which he sells any of the securities or otherwise transfers any interest therein. 
 (h) The Optionee has read and
understands the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Securityholders Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement. 
 (i) The Optionee
understands and acknowledges that, if and when he exercises the Option, (i) any certificate evidencing the Shares (or evidencing any other securities issued with respect thereto pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, merger or other form
of reorganization or recapitalization) when issued shall bear any legends which may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws, and (ii) except as otherwise provided under the Securityholders Agreement, the Company has no
obligation to register the Shares or file any registration statement under federal or state securities laws. 
 Section 7.
Designation of Beneficiary. The Optionee may appoint any individual or legal entity in writing as his beneficiary to receive any Option (to the extent not previously terminated or forfeited) under this Agreement upon the Optionee’s death
or Disability. The Optionee may revoke his designation of a beneficiary at any time and appoint a new beneficiary in writing. To be effective, the Optionee must complete the designation of a beneficiary or revocation of a beneficiary by written
notice to the Company under Section 8 of this Agreement before the date of the Optionee’s death. In the absence of a beneficiary designation, the legal representative of the Optionee’s estate shall be deemed the beneficiary. 

Section 8. Notices. All notices, claims, certifications, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given and

 Section 12. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE
STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW
ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. 
 Section 13. Restrictive Covenants. The grant
and exercise of Options pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the Optionee’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in Section 9 of the Securityholders Agreement and the restrictive covenants set forth in any

hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement
shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 18. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder.
