Exhibit 10.9 AMENDMENT TO
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE This Amendment to Secured Promissory Note (this Amendment) is entered into
on this 10th day of March, 2005, by and between Spectre Gaming, Inc., a Minnesota corporation
(Maker), and Pandora Select Partners, L.P., a British Virgin Islands limited partnership
or its assigns (Payee), to amend, as hereinafter set forth, the terms of that certain
Secured Promissory Note of the Maker, in the amount of $750,000, delivered in favor of Payee on
September 10, 2004 (the Note). A. Maker and Payee have agreed to extend, for a period of three months, the time
during which amounts may be outstanding under the Note, and provide Maker with an option to further
extend, for an additional three months thereafter, the deadline for payment in full of all
principal and interest owed under the Note. B. Maker and Payee wish to reduce their agreement to writing in the form of this
Amendment. Now, Therefore, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 1. Section 2 of the Note is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 2. Payment. The principal and interest hereof is payable as
follows: (a) The principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, of
this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) June 10, 2005 or (ii) when
declared due and payable by the Payee upon the occurrence of an event of default (as
defined below in Section 4); provided, however, that the date set forth above in
clause (i) may be extended for an additional three months (to September 10, 2005) at
the election of the Maker so long as Maker is not, at the time of any such election,
then in default of this Note (such option, the Extension Option). If
Maker wishes to exercise the Extension Option, it must provide Payee with written
notice thereof on or prior to June 1, 2005. (b) Commencing on April 10, 2005, and on the 10th day of each of the following
two months (and the following three months thereafter in the event Maker exercises
the Extension Option), Maker shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount
of this Note. 2. The Note is hereby amended to add a new subsection (d) to Section 4 as follows: (d) The Makers Assets shall fall below the Required Level or the Maker fails
to timely provide the Asset Default Notice to Payee. 3. The Note is hereby amended to add a new Section 9 as follows: 9. Financial Covenant. From and after March 10, 2005 and for
so long as any principal or interest remains outstanding under this Note and
that certain Secured Promissory Note of the Maker, in the amount of
$750,000, delivered in favor of Whitebox Intermarket Partners, L.P. on
September 10, 2004 (such Secured Promissory Note is collectively referred to
with the Note as the Notes), Maker shall maintain assets
(Assets) whose value equals or exceeds the principal and interest
amounts then owed under the Notes (the Required Level). For
purposes of valuing its Assets for compliance under this Section 9, Maker
agrees that: (a) Makers cash shall be valued at 100%; (b) Makers accounts
receivable shall be valued at 80% of their face amount (net of any reserves
for bad debt); and (c) Makers inventory and fixed assets shall be valued at
50% of their book value as reflected on the Makers books and records. If

Assets fall below the Required Level, Maker shall give Payee written
notice within 48 hours of such default (the Asset Default Notice). 4. The remaining provisions of the Note shall remain unaffected by this Amendment. 5. In consideration for entering into this Amendment, Maker shall pay Payee a lump-sum
payment, as an origination fee and not as any reduction of principal or interest on the Note, of
$18,750 within five business days after the date hereof. In addition, in the event that Maker
exercises the Extension Option, Maker shall again pay Payee a lump-sum payment, as an origination
fee and not as any reduction of principal or interest on the Note, of $18,750 (or such lesser sum
as equals 2.5% of the then-outstanding principal amount then due and outstanding under the Note)
within five business days after June 10, 2005. 6. The validity, construction and enforceability of this Amendment shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect to conflicts-of-law principles
thereof. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, which together will constitute a single
document. MAKER:
