    FIFTH
AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT

    

    This
Fifth Amendment to Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made
and entered into to be effective as of September 18, 2008, by and among Las
Vegas Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and IGT, a Nevada
corporation (“IGT”).

    

    WHEREAS,
the Company and IGT are party to the Agreement dated July 17, 2008 (the “Original Agreement”),
as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement dated August 15, 2008, the Second
Amendment to Agreement dated August 22, 2008, the Third Amendment to Agreement
dated August 29, 2008, and the Fourth Amendment to Agreement dated September 11,
2008 (together with the Original Agreement, the “Agreement”), pursuant
to which IGT advanced $1,500,000 to the Company; and

     

    WHEREAS,
the Company and IGT desire to further amend the Agreement.

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     

    1.           Defined
Terms.  All capitalized terms in this Amendment not otherwise
defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement.  Unless otherwise specified, all section references in this
Amendment refer to sections of the Agreement.

     

    2.           Amendments.  The
Company and IGT agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

     

    a.           Finalization of
Terms.  Section 2 of the
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first two sentences of such Section
as they currently appear in the Agreement in their entirety and replacing such
sentences with the following:

     

    “In the
event that IGT and the Company do not execute definitive agreements concerning
the Settlement by September 24, 2008, then on October 30, 2008 (a) the Company
will issue to IGT 750,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share,
such shares to be duly authorized and validly issued and evidenced by a duly and
validly executed share certificate delivered to IGT on such date, and (b) IGT
will have the rights set forth below.  If at any time after September
24, 2008, the Company determines to take any action to license or otherwise
dispose of any interest in any or all patents owned or controlled by the Company
that have one or more claims covering the Company’s PlayerVision-related
hardware and firmware (“PVT”) based on the Company’s
currently existing technology and patent pool, the Company will first undertake
good faith negotiations to enter into an exclusive license with IGT or its
designated affiliate on commercially reasonable terms.”

     

     

    
 

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

     

    b.           Exclusivity.  Section 11 of the
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence of such Section as it
currently appears in the Agreement in its entirety and replacing such first
sentence with the following:

     

    “Except
as provided below with respect to the Adline Holdings Network, LLC transaction,
the Company hereby covenants and agrees that prior to September 24, 2008 (a) it
will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates (as defined below) to,
initiate, solicit or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or
assistance), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making
of any proposal relating to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any
Competing Transaction (as defined below), or enter into discussions or negotiate
with any Person (as defined below) in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain
a Competing Transaction, or endorse or agree to endorse any Competing
Transaction, or authorize or permit any of the directors, managers, officers or
employees of the Company or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney,
accountant or other representative retained by any member of the Company or any
Affiliate of any member of the Company to take any such action; and (b) the
Company will promptly notify IGT of all relevant terms of any such inquiries and
proposals received by any member of the Company, any Affiliate of any member of
the Company or any such director, manager, officer, employee, investment banker,
financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative relating to any
of such matters, and if such inquiry or proposal is in writing, the Company will
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to IGT a copy of such inquiry or
proposal.”

     

    3.           Continuation of the
Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all
other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect
without modification.

     

    4.           Governing Law;
Jurisdiction.  THIS AMENDMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION
OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

     

    5.           Counterparts.  This
Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original, but all of which, when taken together, will constitute
one and the same instrument.

     

    6.           Invalidity.  In
the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Amendment or
in any other instrument referred to herein is, for any reason, held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent
permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not
affect any other provision of this Amendment or any other such
instrument.

     

    7.           Interpretation.  The
headings contained in this Amendment are for ease of reference only and shall
not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment.

at the office or agency of the Company in the City of St. Louis, State of
Missouri, Eighty Million Dollars on the 15th day of October, 2038 (or upon
earlier redemption), by check or draft in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for public and
private debts, and to pay to the registered owner hereof by check or draft
interest thereon from and including September 23, 2008, or from the fifteenth
day of any calendar month next preceding the date of this bond to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for, unless this bond is dated any date after the
record date for any interest payment date and on or before such interest payment
date, in which case from such interest payment date, at the rate of 6.35% per
annum, in like coin or currency at either of said offices or agencies at the
option of the registered owner hereof, monthly in arrears on the fifteenth day
of each calendar month until the Company's obligation with respect to the
payment of such principal shall have been discharged.  If any interest
payment date or any date of maturity or redemption of principal of this bond
falls on a day that is not a Business Day, principal and/or interest payable on
such date will be paid on the succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if it were paid on the date such payment was due, and no interest will
accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such date to such
succeeding Business Day.  Business Day means any day other than a

payment date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Mortgage
hereinafter mentioned, be paid to the person in whose name this bond is
registered at the close of business on the record date, which shall be the
fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such interest payment
date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder is The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a nominee thereof, such payments of
principal and interest will be made in accordance with the Blanket Issuer Letter
of Representations dated April 20, 2004 between DTC and the Company (or
successor arrangement thereto). If a registered owner of an aggregate principal
amount in excess of $100,000 of the bonds so requests, payments of principal and
interest to that registered owner shall be made by electronic transfer to an
account at a commercial bank or savings institution located in the continental
United States designated in writing by such registered owner.  Any
such request must be made in writing to the Company and UMB Bank & Trust,
n.a. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Trustee”) at least 10 days in
advance of such payment and must specify the name and address of the receiving
bank, its ABA routing number, and the account name and number to receive the
electronic transfer.

    

               This

of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 6.35% Series due October 15, 2038
(hereinafter referred to as the "2038 Series"), all bonds of all series issued
and to be issued under and equally secured (except in so far as any sinking or
other fund established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage
hereinafter mentioned may afford additional security for the bonds of any
particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust (hereinafter referred to as
the "Original Indenture") dated as of February 1, 1945, executed by the Company
to Mississippi Valley Trust Company, which was succeeded through consolidation
by Mercantile Trust Company, which was succeeded by Mercantile Trust Company
National Association, which was succeeded by Mercantile Bank National
Association, which was succeeded by Mercantile Bank of St. Louis National
Association, which was succeeded by State Street Bank and Trust Company of
Missouri, N.A., which in turn was succeeded by UMB Bank & Trust, n.a., as
Trustee, and indentures supplemental thereto, including the supplemental
indenture thereto dated as of September 15, 2008, said Mortgage and Deed of
Trust as supplemented being herein called the "Mortgage," to which reference is
made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and
extent of the security, the rights of the owners of the bonds in respect
thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions
upon which the bonds are secured.  With the consent of the Company and
to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Mortgage, the rights and
obligations of the Company and/or of the owners of the bonds and/or coupons
and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and/or of any instruments
supplemental thereto may be modified or altered by the affirmative vote of the
owners of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) in principal
amount of the bonds affected by such modification or alteration (including the
bonds of the 2038 Series, if so affected), then outstanding under the Mortgage
(excluding bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company's interest
therein as provided in the Mortgage); provided that no such modification or
alteration shall permit the extension of the maturity of the principal of this
bond or the reduction in the rate of interest hereon or any other modification
in the terms of payment of such principal or interest, or the creation of a lien
on the mortgaged and pledged property ranking prior to or on a parity with the
lien of the Mortgage or the deprivation of the owner hereof of a lien upon such
property without the consent of the owner hereof, except that the owners of not
less than seventy-five percent (75%) in principal amount of the bonds at any
time outstanding under the Mortgage

    (including
a like percent of the principal amount of the bonds of the 2038 Series, if any
interest payment on bonds of the 2038 Series is to be affected) may consent on
behalf of the owners of all bonds at any time outstanding to the postponement of
any interest payment for a period not exceeding three years from its due
date.

    

               The
bonds of the 2038 Series are redeemable, in whole or in part, upon the notice
referred to below, and otherwise subject to the provisions of the Mortgage,
prior to maturity:  (i) pursuant to paragraph (B) of Section 13.06 of
the Original Indenture (having reference to the taking of all the mortgaged
property by eminent domain and certain comparable contingencies) at 100% of the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to the date
fixed for redemption; or (ii) pursuant to Section 3.2 of the supplemental
indenture dated as of September 15, 2008 to the Original Indenture on or after
October 15, 2013 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the bonds of the 2038 Series being redeemed, together with accrued interest
thereon to the date fixed for redemption without premium; provided, however,
that interest payable with respect to an interest payment date that falls on or
before such redemption date shall be made to the holder thereof on the record
date related to such interest payment date.  If the redemption date
falls on a day that is not a Business Day, principal and/or interest payable on
such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if it were paid on the redemption date and no interest will accrue
on the amount so payable for the period from and after the redemption date to
the next succeeding Business Day.

    

               The
notice of redemption of bonds of the 2038 Series shall be given by mailing a
copy thereof to each registered owner, directed to his registered address not
less than thirty nor more than ninety days prior to the date fixed for
redemption, all as provided in, and subject to the applicable provisions of, the
Mortgage.

    

               The
principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the
manner, and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a
completed default as in the Mortgage provided.

    

              At
the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the 2038 Series, upon surrender
thereof at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, or in the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri, together with
a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Company duly executed
by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.05 of the Original Indenture, be exchangeable for a like
aggregate amount of fully registered bonds of the same series of other
authorized denominations.

    

               This
bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered owner
hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in the City of
St. Louis, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond and upon presentation of
a written instrument of transfer, duly executed, with signature guaranteed by a
signature guarantor that is a participant in a nationally recognized signature
guaranty program, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the
transfer charges prescribed in the Mortgage, and thereupon, a new fully
registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to
the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the
Mortgage.

    The
Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is
registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and
for all other purposes.

    

               No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or of interest on this
bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the
capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any
predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the
Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law,
statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise,
all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and
directors, as such, being released by the owner hereof by the acceptance of this
bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the
Mortgage.

bond shall not become obligatory until UMB Bank & Trust, n.a., the Trustee
under the Mortgage, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of
certificate endorsed hereon.

15, 2008.  If an interest payment date, October 15, 2038 or any date
of maturity or redemption of principal of the bonds of the 2038 Series falls on
a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal and/or
interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was due, and
no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and
after such interest payment date, October 15, 2038, or redemption date, as the
case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business
Day.

    

               SECTION   2.2.   All

the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the 2038 Series, upon surrender
thereof at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, or in the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri, together with
a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Company duly executed
by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.05 of the Original Indenture, be exchangeable for a like
aggregate amount of fully registered bonds of the same series of other
authorized denominations.

    

               SECTION   2.5.   The
bonds of the 2038 Series are transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the
registered owner thereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the
office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, or in the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri, upon surrender and
cancellation of such bonds and upon presentation of a written instrument of
transfer, duly executed, with signature guaranteed by a signature guarantor that
is a participant in a nationally recognized signature guaranty program, and upon
payment, if the Company shall require it, of the transfer charges prescribed in
the Mortgage, and thereupon, new fully registered bonds of the same series for a
like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor as
provided in the Mortgage.

    

               SECTION   2.6.   Until
bonds of the 2038 Series in definitive form are ready for delivery, there may be
authenticated and delivered and issued, in lieu of any definitive bond or bonds
of said series, temporary bonds of said series as provided in Section 2.08 of
the Original Indenture.  Such temporary bonds shall be substantially
in the form of the definitive bonds of the 2038 Series, but with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary bonds, and may
contain such reference to any provisions of the Mortgage as may be appropriate,
all as determined by the Board of Directors.

    

               SECTION   2.7.   The
person in whose name any bond of the 2038 Series is registered at the close of
business on any record date (as hereinbelow defined) with respect to any
interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such bond upon any
transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and prior to such
interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in
the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case
such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such bond is
registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.  The
record date shall be the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding
such interest payment date.

    

               SECTION  2.8.  Anything
in this Thirtieth Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of the
2038 Series for a period of fifteen days next preceding any selection of bonds
of the 2038 Series to be redeemed, and the Company shall not be required to make
transfers or exchanges of the principal

    PARTICULAR
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

    

               SECTION   4.1.   So
long as any of the bonds of the 2038 Series are outstanding, the Company will
not (a) declare any dividends (other than dividends in common stock) on any
common stock, or order the making of any distribution on any shares of common
stock or to owners of common stock or (b) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire
or retire for value any shares of common stock, if the aggregate net amount of
such declarations, distributions so ordered, purchases, redemptions,
acquisitions and retirements after September 30, 1953, would exceed the sum
of (y) the Net Income Available for Common Stock for the period beginning
October 1, 1953, and ending with the last day of the calendar quarter
immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which such dividend is declared,
distribution ordered, or purchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement made,
plus (z) Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000).

    

               The
aggregate net amount of the declarations, distributions ordered, purchases,
redemptions, acquisitions and retirements referred to in the first paragraph of
this Section 4.1 shall be determined by deducting from the aggregate amount
thereof the total amount of cash payments received by the Company after
September 30, 1953, for any shares of common stock sold by the Company
after September 30, 1953.

                 Net
Income Available for Common Stock, for the purpose of this Section 4.1, for any
period, means (1) the net income of the Company for such period computed
according to the applicable system of accounts prescribed by the Public Service
Commission of Missouri and any applicable orders of said Commission and (to the
extent not prescribed by such system of accounts or orders) according to
generally accepted accounting principles, less (2) an amount equal to the
dividends accrued (whether or not declared or paid) during such period on any
and all classes of stock having preference over the common stock as to assets or
dividends.

    

               For
the purposes of the last preceding paragraph of this Section 4.1, the term
"Public Service Commission of Missouri" shall also apply, and be deemed to
refer, to any regulatory body which may (A) succeed said Commission with respect
to jurisdiction over the accounting of the Company,

    or (B)
supersede said Commission with respect to such jurisdiction, or (C) have such
jurisdiction over phases of the Company's business or parts of its property over
which said Commission shall not have jurisdiction.

    

               SECTION   4.2.   So

entitled to have authenticated and delivered any bonds pursuant to Article VI,
Article VII or Article VIII of the Original Indenture, except bonds which may be
authenticated and delivered under Article VII of the Original Indenture, without
the receipt by the Trustee of a net earnings certificate showing the net
earnings to be as required by Section 6.05 of the Original Indenture, unless (in
addition to all other requirements for the authentication and delivery of such
bonds):

    

                              (a)  net
earnings of the Company after provision for depreciation, depletion and
amortization of property, for any 12 consecutive calendar months within the 15
calendar months immediately preceding the date on which such additional bonds
are to be issued, shall have been not less than 2 1/4 times the amount of the
total annual interest charges upon the funded debt of the Company to be
outstanding immediately after the issue of such additional bonds;
and

    

                              (b)  the
Trustee shall have received a certificate made, signed and verified by the same
persons (including an independent public accountant where required) as would be
required if such certificate were a net earnings certificate under the Original
Indenture, showing the net earnings of the Company to be as required by the
foregoing clause (a) of this Section 4.2.  Such certificate shall show
the net earnings and total annual interest charges referred to in said clause
(a).

    

               For
the purposes of this Section 4.2, "funded debt" shall mean all indebtedness
created or assumed by the Company maturing one year or more after the date of
the creation or assumption thereof.

    

               For

for depreciation, depletion and amortization of property shall mean the total
operating revenue and other income (net) of the Company less operating expenses
(including provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization of property)

earnings of the Company the following additional requirements shall be
applicable:

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

                              (i)  No
profits or losses from the sale or abandonment of capital assets or change in
value of securities or other investments shall be taken into account in making
such computations;

    

                              (ii)  In
case the Company shall have sold any property for a consideration in excess of
$5,000,000, within or after the particular period for which the calculation is
made, then, in computing the net earnings of the Company so available, the net
earnings or net losses of such property for the whole of such period shall be
excluded to the extent practicable on the basis of actual earnings and expenses
of such property or on the basis of such estimates of the earnings and expenses
of such property as the signers of a Treasurer's certificate filed with the
Trustee shall deem proper;

    

                              (iii)  In
case the Company shall, within or after the particular period for which the
calculation is made, have acquired (by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) any property which within six months prior to the date of acquisition
thereof by the Company has been used or operated by a person or persons other
than the Company in a business similar to that in which it has been or is to be
used or operated by the Company, then in computing the net earnings of the
Company so available for such purposes there shall be included, to the extent
that they may not have been otherwise included, the net earnings or net losses
of the property so acquired for the whole of such period to the extent
practicable on the basis of actual earnings and expenses of such property or on
the basis of such estimates of the earnings and expenses of such property as the
signers of a Treasurer's certificate filed with the Trustee shall deem
proper.  The net earnings or net losses of such property for the
period preceding such acquisition shall in such case be ascertained and computed
as provided in this clause (iii) as if such acquired property had been owned by
the Company during the whole of such period; and

    

                              (iv)  The
"net earnings of property" referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section
4.2 shall mean the net earnings of such property computed in the manner provided
in this definition for the computation of net earnings of the Company available
for the pertinent purposes.

    

               All
accounting determinations required by this Section 4.2 shall (except to the
extent, if any, to which the preceding provisions of this Section 4.2 may
conflict with this provision) be made according to the applicable system of
accounts prescribed by the Public Service Commission of Missouri and any
applicable orders of said Commission and (to the extent not prescribed by such
system of accounts or orders) according to generally accepted accounting
principles.

    

               For
the purposes of this Section 4.2, the term "Public Service Commission of
Missouri" shall be applicable as provided in Section 4.1 of this Article
IV.

    

               SECTION   4.3.   So
long as any bonds of the 2038 Series are outstanding, in order that any interest
payment on the bonds of any of the Series may be postponed pursuant to clause
(2) of Section 20.07 of the Original Indenture, there shall be required, in
addition to all other prerequisites to such postponement provided in the
Original Indenture, the consent of the owners of not less than seventy-five
percent (75%) in principal amount of bonds of the 2038 Series at the time

    outstanding,
such consent to be given at the same time as and in the same manner as the
consent of the owners of other bonds required by said clause (2) of Section
20.07 of the Original Indenture.

RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

    

               SECTION    5.1.   The

notwithstanding, the Company and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time,
may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory
