                  Commitment

              


      

       

      Dear
        Mr.
        Kohn:

       

      Nevada
        Gold & Casinos, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
        has
        advised D.B.
        Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P.
        and its
        affiliates and designees (the "Lender")
        that
        the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the Company, together with certain
        subsidiaries of the Company designated by the Lender, each a "Borrower"
        and
        collectively, the "Borrowers")
        desire
        financing (a) primarily to fund the Borrowers' future purchases of gaming
        operations, mergers and acquisition opportunities, and (b) to pay fees and
        expenses related to the financing contemplated by this commitment letter.
        The
        Lender is pleased to advise you that the Lender is willing to provide the
        Borrowers with a senior secured financing facility in the maximum aggregate
        amount of $15,000,000 (the "Financing
        Facility")
        substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the Outline of Terms
        and
        Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A
        (the
        "Term
        Sheet").
        Terms
        used in this commitment letter and not otherwise defined herein shall have
        the
        meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Sheet or as set forth in
Exhibit
        B.
        The
        Financing Facility will consist of a term loan facility of up to $15,000,000.
        All obligations of the Borrowers under the Financing Facility will be guaranteed
        by each subsidiary of the Company that is not a Borrower (each a "Guarantor"
        and
        collectively, the "Guarantors"
        and
        together with the Borrowers, each a "Loan
        Party"
        and
        collectively, the "Loan
        Parties").
        The
        Lender's commitment to provide the Financing Facility is subject in all respects
        to satisfaction of the terms and conditions contained in this commitment
        letter
        and in the Term Sheet.

       

      The
        Company, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, acknowledges that
        this
        commitment letter and the Term Sheet are intended as an outline only and
        do not
        purport to summarize all of the conditions, covenants, representations,
        warranties and other provisions that would be contained in definitive loan
        documentation for the Financing Facility. The definitive loan documentation
        for
        the Financing Facility will include, in addition to the provisions that are
        summarized in this commitment letter and the Term Sheet, provisions that,
        in the
        opinion of the Lender, are customary or typical for this type of financing
        transaction and other provisions that the Lender determines to be appropriate
        in
        the context of the proposed transaction. Such definitive loan documentation
        shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender.

       

      By
        its
        execution hereof and its acceptance of the commitment contained herein, the
        Company, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, agrees to indemnify
        and
        hold harmless the Lender, any other entity that becomes a Lender as contemplated
        by the Term Sheet, each of their respective assignees and affiliates, and
        their
        respective directors, partners, members, officers, employees and agents (each
        an
        "Indemnified
        Party")
        from
        and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or other expenses
        to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, insofar as such losses,
        claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or other proceedings commenced or
        threatened in respect thereof) or other expenses arise out of or in any way
        relate to or result from, this commitment letter or the extension of the
        Financing Facility contemplated by this commitment letter, or in any way
        arise
        from any use or intended use of this commitment letter or the proceeds of
        the
        Financing Facility contemplated by this commitment letter, and the Company
        agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
        incurred in connection with investigating, defending or participating in
        any
        such loss, claim, damage, liability or action or other proceeding (whether
        or
        not such Indemnified Party is a party to any action or proceeding out of
        which
        indemnified expenses arise), but excluding therefrom all expenses, losses,
        claims, damages and liabilities which are finally determined in a non-appealable
        decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from
        the
        gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. In the
        event
        of any litigation or dispute involving this commitment letter or the Financing
        Facility, no Indemnified Party shall be responsible or liable to the Company
        or
        any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential, incidental
        or punitive damages. In addition, the Company agrees to reimburse the Lender
        on
        demand for all reasonable fees and expenses (the "Expenses")
        incurred by or on behalf of the Lender in connection with the negotiation,
        preparation, execution and delivery of this commitment letter, the Term Sheet
        and any and all definitive loan documentation relating hereto and thereto,
        including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
        to
        the Lender and the fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection
        with
        any due diligence, collateral reviews, appraisals, valuations and field
        examinations, and syndication of the Financing Facility. The obligations
        of the
        Company under this paragraph shall remain effective whether or not definitive
        loan documentation is executed and notwithstanding any termination of this
        commitment letter.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      The
        Company agrees to pay to the Lender certain fees set forth in the fee letter
        delivered in connection herewith (the "Fee
        Letter").
        The
        terms and conditions of the Fee Letter set forth therein are incorporated
        herein
        by this reference.

       

      The
        Company has previously paid to the Lender (i) $75,000 in respect of a work
        fee
        and (ii) $50,000, which represents a deposit (the "Expense
        Deposit")
        to
        fund Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Lender. If less than $50,000
        of
        Expenses are incurred by or on behalf of the Lender, the unused portion of
        the
        Expense Deposit will be returned to the Company. The Lender may request,
        and the
        Company shall forthwith pay to the Lender, in immediately available funds,
        an
        additional expense deposit if the amount of Expenses incurred or to be incurred
        by the Lender in connection with the Financing Facility exceeds or will exceed
        the amount of the Expense Deposit. The Expense Deposit will not be segregated
        and may be commingled with other funds, and the Company will not be entitled
        to
        receive interest on the Expense Deposit.

       

      The
        Lender's commitment to provide the Financing Facility is subject to (a) the
        negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive loan documentation in form
        and
        substance satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel, (b) the satisfaction
        of the Lender that since the date hereof there has not occurred or become
        known
        to any Loan Party or the Lender any material adverse change with respect
        to the
        condition (financial or otherwise, but excluding fluctuations in the share
        price
        of the Company's publicly traded stock), business, operations, assets,
        liabilities or prospects of any Loan Party, as determined by the Lender in
        its
        sole discretion (a "Material
        Adverse Change"),
        and
        (c) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this commitment letter
        and the Term Sheet, as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion. If
        at
        any time the Lender shall determine (in its sole discretion) that either
        (i) any Loan Party will be unable to fulfill any condition set forth in
        this commitment letter or in the Term Sheet or (ii) any
        Material Adverse Change has occurred,
        the
        Lender may terminate this commitment letter by giving notice thereof to the
        Company (subject to the obligation of the Company to pay all fees, costs,
        expenses and other payment obligations expressly assumed by the Company
        hereunder, which shall survive the termination of this commitment letter).
        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this commitment
        letter may be terminated by the Lender or the Company if either the Lender
        or
        the Company is advised by any gaming regulatory agency, or has reasonable
        basis
        to conclude, that a gaming regulatory agency would find the Lender to be
        an
        "unsuitable person" which could impair any gaming license held or being applied
        for by the Company.

       

      The
        Company, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, represents and warrants
        that (a) all information and other materials concerning the Loan Parties
        (collectively, the "Information")
        which
        has been, or is hereafter, made available by, or on behalf of any Loan Party
        is,
        or when delivered will be, when considered as a whole, complete and correct
        in
        all material respects and does not, or will not when delivered, contain any
        untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
        in
        order to make the statements contained therein not misleading and (b) to
        the extent that any such Information contains projections, such projections
        were
        prepared in good faith on the basis of (i) assumptions, methods and tests
        stated therein which are believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable and
        (ii) information believed by the Loan Parties to have been accurate based
        upon the information available to the Loan Parties at the time such projections
        were furnished to the Lender. The Company agrees that if at any time prior
        to
        the Closing Date (as defined in the Term Sheet), any of the representations
        in
        the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the
        information and projections were being furnished, and such representations
        were
        being made, at such time, then the Company will promptly supplement, or cause
        to
        be supplemented, the information and projections so that such representations
        will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      The
        Company agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, that it will,
        and will cause each of the other Loan Parties to (a) promptly provide
        copies of any filing to the Lender (including, without limitation, filings
        with the SEC and other applicable regulatory authorities and stock
        exchanges)
        in
        which reference is made to the Lender or the commitment contained herein,
        and
        (b) promptly provide copies to the Lender of any public announcement in
        which reference is made to the Lender or to the commitment contained herein.
        The
        Company acknowledges that the Lender and its affiliates may now or hereafter
        provide financing or obtain other interests in other companies in respect
        of
        which the Company or its affiliates may be business competitors, and that
        the
        Lender and its affiliates will have no obligation to provide to the Company
        or
        any of its affiliates any confidential information obtained from or in respect
        of such other companies.

       

      During
        the term of this commitment letter, the Company intends to consummate the
        Rogers
        Refinancing. The Company hereby grants to the Lender the Right of First
        Negotiation to provide the Rogers Refinancing. If the Company is unable to
        conclude a binding agreement with a third party with respect to the Rogers
        Refinancing within 150 days after the expiration of the Exclusive
        Negotiation Period, then the Company shall be obligated to re-offer the
        opportunity for the Lender to provide the Rogers Refinancing and the Lender
        shall be entitled to a Right of First Negotiation with respect thereto in
        each
        such instance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
        the
        terms of the Right of First Negotiation shall not be applicable and shall
        be of
        no force or affect if the Company is advised by any gaming regulatory agency,
        or
        has reasonable basis to conclude, that a gaming regulatory agency would find
        the
        Lender to be an "unsuitable person" which could impair any gaming license
        held
        or being applied for by the Company.

       

      The
        offer
        made by the Lender in this commitment letter shall expire, unless otherwise
        agreed by the Lender in writing, at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May
        24, 2007, unless prior thereto the Lender shall have received (a) a copy of
        this commitment letter and the Fee Letter, signed by the Company accepting
        the
        terms and conditions of this commitment letter, the Term Sheet and the Fee
        Letter, (b) the Expense Deposit, in immediately available funds, and (c)
        the commitment fee set forth in the Fee Letter, in immediately available
        funds.
        The commitment by the Lender to provide the Financing Facility shall expire
        at
        5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 24, 2009, unless prior thereto,
        definitive loan documentation shall have been agreed to in writing by all
        parties and the conditions set forth therein shall have been satisfied (it
        being
        understood that the Company's obligation to pay all amounts in respect of
        indemnification, fees and Expenses shall survive termination of this commitment
        letter).

       

      This
        commitment letter, including the attached Term Sheet, and the Fee Letter
        (a) supersede all prior discussions, agreements, commitments, arrangements,
        negotiations or understandings, whether oral or written, of the parties with
        respect thereto, (b) shall be governed by the law of the State of New York,
        without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof, (c) shall
        be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns,
        (d) may not be relied upon or enforced by any other person or entity, and
        (e) may be signed in multiple counterparts and delivered by facsimile or
        other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original
        and all
        of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. If this
        commitment letter becomes the subject of a dispute, each of the parties hereto
        hereby waives trial by jury. This commitment letter may be amended, modified
        or
        waived only in a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

                  designated

                  Lender or affiliates thereof, and such other lenders designated
                  by the
                  Lender. One or more of such lenders may act as agent for such
                  lenders.

              
	 	 
	
                FINANCING
                  FACILITY:

              	
                A
                  senior secured credit facility consisting of a term loan facility
                  in an
                  amount of up to $15,000,000 (the "Financing
                  Facility").

                The
                  term loan facility shall be structured as a $15,000,000 acquisition
                  line
                  (the "Acquisition
                  Line")
                  to be drawn for a to-be-determined acquisition or acquisitions
                  acceptable
                  to the Company and the Lender based on standard legal and financial
                  due
                  diligence. 

              
	 	 
	 	
                Notwithstanding
                  the foregoing, at no time shall the aggregate principal amount
                  of the
                  Acquisition Line outstanding under the Financing Facility together
                  with
                  other funded debt (to be determined) exceed a multiple (to be determined)
                  of the trailing twelve months EBITDA (which will include the equity
                  portion of the Loan Parties' earnings from investments such as
                  the Isle of
                  Capri-Blackhawk and other unconsolidated minority owned investments)
                  of
                  the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries to be agreed upon (the
                  amount of
                  any such excess, an "EBITDA
                  Deficit").
                  At any time that an EBITDA Deficit exists, the Borrowers shall
                  make a
                  mandatory prepayment of the Acquisition Line in an amount equal
                  to such
                  EBITDA Deficit. 

              
	 	 
	
                TERM:

              	
                The
                  Acquisition Line shall terminate on the second anniversary of the
                  Issuance
                  Date (the "Acquisition
                  Line Termination Date").
                  Any amounts drawn under the Acquisition Line prior to the Acquisition
                  Line
                  Termination Date shall have a term of three years from the date
                  such funds
                  are drawn. Any undrawn amounts under the Acquisition Line will
                  no longer
                  be available to be borrowed on or after the Acquisition Line Termination
                  Date. The Financing Facility shall terminate on the third anniversary
                  of
                  the date upon which the final draw is made by the Borrowers under
                  the
                  Acquisition Line (the "Maturity
                  Date").

                In
                  addition, if no draw has been made under the Acquisition Line and
                  there
                  are no other amounts outstanding under the Financing Facility,
                  the
                  Borrowers may voluntarily terminate the Financing Facility at any
                  time. If
                  the Borrowers choose to terminate the Financing Facility pursuant
                  to this
                  paragraph, they shall not be liable for any fees that would otherwise
                  have
                  accrued after the date of such termination, but shall remain liable
                  for
                  any and all fees that have accrued on or prior to such
                  date.
