 Exhibit 10.32 
  
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of August 10, 2004, (“Effective
Date”) by and between MIKOHN GAMING CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (“MIKOHN”), and RUSSEL H. McMEEKIN (“Employee”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, MIKOHN and Employee deem it to be in their respective best interests to enter into an amended and restated agreement providing for
MIKOHN’s employment of Employee pursuant to the terms herein stated. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, it is hereby agreed as follows: 
  
 1. Term. MIKOHN hereby employs and Employee hereby accepts employment with MIKOHN for a period of three (3)
years beginning on August 15, 2002 (“Term”). Unless MIKOHN or Employee gives written notice that this Agreement shall be allowed to expire and the employment relationship thereby terminated at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of the Term or any Renewal Term (as defined herein), this Agreement shall continue in effect for additional terms of (1) one year each (“Renewal Term”). 
  
 2. Duties of Employee. Employee’s position with MIKOHN will be President and Chief Executive Officer.
Employee shall do and perform all services, acts, or things reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the objectives and complete the tasks assigned to Employee by MIKOHN’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. MIKOHN may assign Employee to
another position commensurate with Employee’s training and experience so long as the compensation paid to Employee is equal to or greater than the compensation provided in this Agreement. 
  
 3. Devotion of Time to MIKOHN’s Business. Employee shall
be a full-time employee of MIKOHN and shall devote such substantial and sufficient amounts of his productive time, ability, and attention to the business of MIKOHN during the Term of this Agreement as may be reasonable and necessary to accomplish
the objectives and complete the tasks assigned to Employee. Prior written consent of MIKOHN shall be required before Employee shall undertake to perform any outside services of a business, commercial, or professional nature, whether for compensation
or otherwise. The foregoing notwithstanding, Employee may devote reasonable time to activities other than those required under this Agreement, including activities involving professional, charitable, community, educational, religious and similar
types of organizations, speaking engagements, membership on the boards of directors of other organizations and similar types of activities to the extent that such activities do not inhibit or prohibit the performance of services under this
Agreement. 
  
 4. Uniqueness of Services. Employee
hereby acknowledges that the services to be performed by him under the terms of this Agreement are of a special and unique value. Accordingly, the obligations of Employee under this Agreement are non-assignable. 
  
 5. Compensation of Employee. 
  
 a. Base Annual Salary. Subject to other
specific provisions in this Agreement, as compensation for services hereunder, Employee shall receive a Base Annual Salary at the rate of not less than $440,000 per annum payable in accordance with MIKOHN’s ordinary payroll practices (and in
any event no less frequently than monthly). On each anniversary of August 15, 2002 (the “Commencement Date”), Employee’s Base Annual Salary shall be increased by not less than $20,000. 
  
 b. Cash Bonus. Employee shall be eligible for
an annual bonus and a three-year cumulative bonus payment pursuant to the executive incentive compensation plan approved by the Board of Directors on August 10, 2004 (the “Executive Incentive Compensation Plan”); provided, however that
MIKOHN and Employee, as applicable, achieve the relevant bonus targets set forth in the Executive Incentive Compensation 

  

 1 

 
Plan, as such targets may be determined (and/or modified and revised, as applicable) by the Board of Directors in consultation with Employee. 
  
 c. Signing Bonus/Moving Allowance. Employee
acknowledges that he has been paid $100,000 as a combined signing bonus and moving allowance. This sum was given in consideration of Employee’s commitment not to terminate this Agreement prior to the initial expiration date, other than as
permitted pursuant to Sections 6(c) or 19 below. If Employee terminates this Agreement (other than as permitted pursuant to Sections 6(c) or 19 below) or if Employee is terminated for Cause (as defined in Section 6(b) below) prior to the expiration
of three (3) years from the Commencement Date, Employee will be obligated to return and remit a pro rata portion of the sum to MIKOHN. (For example, if Employee should terminate this Agreement after one year as described above, Employee will be
required to remit the sum of $66,667.) 
  
 d.
Stock Options. MIKOHN has granted to Employee options to purchase shares of MIKOHN Common Stock (the “Option”) under MIKOHN’s Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) from time to time. The Options are subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan, and shall additionally provide as follows: 
  
 (1) The Options shall be designated as Incentive Options. 
  
 (2) On each of the five (5) anniversary dates of each respective date of grant, one-fifth (1/5) of the Option Shares shall become eligible
for purchase by Employee. 
  
 (3) The Options
shall terminate on (i) the expiration date specified in the Stock Option Agreements or (ii) such earlier date as termination may occur according to the terms and conditions of the Plan and/or the Stock Option Agreements. Upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, Employee and/or his successors and assigns shall have only such rights with respect to the Options as are specified in the Plan, the Stock Option Agreements, or this Agreement and shall not be entitled to any compensation
in any form for the loss of any other right with respect thereto. 
  
 (4) All Options to acquire common stock of MIKOHN granted to Employee during the term of this Agreement shall become 100% vested (i) upon any “Change in Control” as defined in Section 19 below; (ii) if
MIKOHN or any successor or assignee of MIKOHN should terminate this Agreement other than for Cause or deliver a non-renewal notice to Employee pursuant to Section 1 above; (iii) if Employee should terminate this Agreement for Good Reason as
permitted in Section 6(c) below; or (iv) upon Employee’s death or permanent disability as described in Section 6(e) below; provided, however, that in the case of (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such vesting shall be conditioned on Employee (or
Employee’s estate) furnishing to MIKOHN an effective waiver and release of claims (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A). 
  
 e. Automobile. MIKOHN shall provide Employee an automobile allowance in the amount of $1,000 per month. 
  
 f. Country Club Membership. MIKOHN shall
provide Employee a membership in a country club of Employee’s choice, the initial cost of which shall not exceed $35,000.00. In addition, MIKOHN shall reimburse Employee up to $500 per month for country club dues. 
  
 g. Employee Benefits. Employee shall receive
such benefits, fringe benefits and entitlements as is usual and customary for MIKOHN to provide an employee of like status and position and are consistent with MIKOHN’s established policies on employment, which may be revised from time to time
in the sole discretion of MIKOHN. 
  
 h.
Business Expenses. MIKOHN will reimburse Employee for reasonable business expenses incurred in performing Employee’s duties and promoting the business of MIKOHN.

 6. Termination of Employment. 
  
 a. Either party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other. In the event MIKOHN should terminate this Agreement other than for “Cause” as defined in Section 6(b) below (“termination without Cause”) or Employee should resign for
“Good Reason” as defined in Section 6(c) below (in either instance except as described in Section 19 below, in which case the provisions of Section 19 shall apply), MIKOHN shall pay to Employee, upon Employee’s furnishing to MIKOHN an
effective waiver and release of claims (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), the greater of [1] a sum equal to Employee’s Base Salary for the most recent calendar year or [2] a sum equal to the Base Salary payable to Employee over
the remaining term of this Agreement. Any sum payable under this Section shall be paid in full upon the effective date of the termination of the employment relationship between MIKOHN and Employee. Upon the expiration of this Agreement without
renewal by MIKOHN, MIKOHN shall pay to Employee, upon Employee’s furnishing to MIKOHN an effective waiver and release of claims (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), a sum equal to Employee’s Base Salary for the most recent
calendar year. Said sum shall be paid in full upon the effective date of the termination of the employment relationship between MIKOHN and Employee. Except as provided in this Section 6, Employee expressly waives all rights and remedies, legal and
equitable, arising from or related to any alleged breach of this Agreement by MIKOHN. 
  
 b. Termination For Cause. MIKOHN shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time for Cause by
giving Employee written notice of the effective date of termination. In the event of termination for Cause, Employee shall be paid Employee’s salary through the effective date of termination on the date of termination. After the effective date
of termination, Employee shall not be entitled to accrue or vest in any further salary, severance pay, benefits, fringe benefits or entitlements except as may be required by statute or regulation of any agency or competent jurisdiction; provided
that Employee shall have 90 days to exercise any options which are vested as of the effective date of termination. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 
  
 (1) the willful and continued failure by the Employee to substantially perform his duties with MIKOHN (other
than any such failure resulting from the Employee’s being Disabled), within a reasonable period of time after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the Board of Directors (“Board”), which demand
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Employee has not substantially performed his duties; 
  
 (2) the willful engaging by the Employee in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to MIKOHN, monetarily or otherwise;

  
 (3) the engaging by the Employee in egregious
misconduct involving serious moral turpitude to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of the MIKOHN’s Board, the Employee’s credibility and reputation no longer conform to the standard of the Employee’s Employees; provided,
however, that Cause shall exist under this paragraph (3) only if the misconduct involves a violation of applicable laws; 
  
 (4) the knowing or repeated violation of any material MIKOHN policy applicable to the Employee following written notice from MIKOHN of
such violations. 
  
 (5) The loss, revocation,
suspension of, or failure to obtain any license or certification of Employee necessary for Employee to discharge Employee’s duties on behalf of MIKOHN; 
  
 (6) Acts or omissions by Employee which jeopardize any governmental registration, license, permit or other governmental permission
material to the business of MIKOHN in any jurisdiction in which MIKOHN does business or seeks to do business; 
  
 (7) Repeated and persistent failure to abide by the policies established by MIKOHN after written warning from MIKOHN; 
  
 (8) The solicitation or acceptance of payment or gratuity
from any existing or potential customer or supplier of MIKOHN without the prior written consent of MIKOHN’s Board of Directors. 
  

 3 

 c. Resignation For Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment under
this Agreement for “Good Reason” (as defined hereunder) at any time, by providing written notice to MIKOHN of same following the provision to MIKOHN of a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such Good Reason. Any termination for Good Reason
shall have the same legal effect under this Agreement as a termination without Cause by MIKOHN. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean, with respect to the Employee, the occurrence of one or more of the following
events without such Employee’s express written consent: (i) a material reduction in the Employee’s duties, responsibilities, title or reporting relationships; (ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s base salary or total target
annual cash compensation; or (iii) a permanent relocation of the Employee’s business office to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the location at which the Employee currently performs his or her duties. 
  
 d. For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to
act, on the Employee’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Employee’s action or omission was in the best interest of MIKOHN.

  
 e. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically in the event that: (i) Employee fails or is unable to perform Employee’s duties due to injury, illness or other incapacity for ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period (except that Employee may be entitled to disability
payments pursuant to MIKOHN’s disability plan, if any); or (ii) Death of Employee. Upon termination of this Agreement as the result of the death or disability of Employee, all vested stock options provided herein shall become the property of
the Employee’s estate. 
  
 7. Covenant of
Confidentiality. All documents, records, files, manuals, forms, materials, supplies, computer programs, trade secrets and other information which comes into Employee’s possession from time to time during Employee’s employment by
MIKOHN, and/or any of MIKOHN’s subsidiaries or affiliates, shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary to MIKOHN and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of MIKOHN. Employee acknowledges that all such confidential and proprietary
information is confidential and proprietary and not readily available to MIKOHN’s business competitors. On the effective date of the termination of the employment relationship or at such other date specified by MIKOHN, Employee agrees that he
will return to MIKOHN all such confidential and proprietary items (including, but not limited to, company badge and keys) in his control or possession, and all copies thereof, and that he will not remove any such items from the offices of MIKOHN.

  
 8. Covenant of Non-Disclosure. Without the prior
written approval of MIKOHN, Employee shall keep confidential and not disclose or otherwise make use of any of the confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets referred to in Section 7 nor reveal the same to any third party whomsoever,
except as required by law. 
  
 9. Covenant of
Non-Solicitation. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following the effective date of termination, Employee, either on Employee’s own account or for any person, firm, company or other entity, shall not
solicit, interfere with or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of MIKOHN, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave their employment or to breach their employment agreement, if any, with MIKOHN. 
  
 10. Covenant of Cooperation. Employee agrees to cooperate with
MIKOHN in any litigation or administrative proceedings involving any matters with which Employee was involved during his employment by MIKOHN. MIKOHN shall reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in providing such assistance. 

 
 11. Covenant Against Competition. 
  
 a. Scope and Term. During the Term of this
Agreement and for an additional period ending one (1) year after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, Employee shall not directly or indirectly engage in or become a partner, officer, principal,
employee, consultant, investor, creditor or stockholder of any business, proprietorship, association, firm, corporation or any other business entity which is engaged or proposes to engage or hereafter engages in any business which competes with the
business of MIKOHN and/or any of MIKOHN’s subsidiaries or affiliates in any geographic area in which 

  

 4 

 
MIKOHN conducts business at the time of the termination or expiration of the employment relationship. 
  
 b. Option to Extend Term of Covenant. Upon
thirty (30) days’ written notice to Employee given prior to the expiration of the term of the Covenant Against Competition specified in Section 11(a) above, MIKOHN shall have the option to extend said term for a period of up to one (1)
additional year upon payment of the following consideration to Employee: 
  
 (1) If Employee is terminated without Cause or this Agreement expires without renewal, or Employee terminates his employment pursuant to Sections 6(c) or 19, the sum of $300,000.00 payable in 12 monthly installments;
or 
  
 (2) If Employee terminates this Agreement
other than as permitted in Sections 6(c) or 19 or is terminated by MIKOHN for Cause, the sum of $120,000.00 payable in 12 monthly installments. 
  
 12. Rights to Inventions. 
  
 a. Inventions Defined. “Inventions” means discoveries, concepts, and ideas, whether patentable or not, relating to
any present or contemplated activity of MIKOHN, including without limitation devices, processes, methods, formulae, techniques, and any improvements to the foregoing. 
  
 b. Application. This Section 12 shall apply to all Inventions made or conceived by Employee,
whether or not during the hours of his employment or with the use of MIKOHN facilities, materials, or personnel, either solely or jointly with others, during the Term of his employment by MIKOHN and for a period of one (1) year after any termination
of such employment. This Section 12 does not apply to any invention disclosed in writing to MIKOHN by Employee prior to the execution of this Agreement. 
  
 c. Assignment. Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to MIKOHN all of his rights to Inventions and to all proprietary
rights therein, based thereon or related thereto, including without limitation applications for United States and foreign letters patent and resulting letters patent. 
  
 d. Reports. Employee shall inform MIKOHN promptly and fully of each Invention by a written
report, setting forth in detail the structures, procedures, and methodology employed and the results achieved (“Notice of Invention”). A report shall also be submitted by Employee upon completion of any study or research project undertaken
on MIKOHN’s behalf, whether or not in Employee’s opinion a given study or project has resulted in an Invention. 
  
 e. Patents. At MIKOHN’s request and expense, Employee shall execute such documents and provide such assistance as may
be deemed necessary by MIKOHN to apply for, defend or enforce any United States and foreign letters patent based on or related to such Inventions.

Inventions (Section 12), MIKOHN shall have the right to have the obligations of Employee specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction on the grounds that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to MIKOHN and money damages will not
provide an adequate remedy. Such equitable remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies at law or equity, all of which remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the obligations contained in
Sections 7 through 12, of this Agreement are fair, do not unreasonably restrict Employee’s future employment and business opportunities, and are commensurate with the compensation arrangements set out in this Agreement. 
  
 14. Survivability. Sections 7 through 13, of this Agreement
shall survive termination of the employment relationship and this Agreement.

alleged claims which are not settled by mutual agreement of the parties, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The cost of arbitration shall be borne by the losing
party. In consideration of each party’s agreement to submit to arbitration any and all disputes that arise under this Agreement, each party agrees that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall constitute his/its exclusive remedy and

negotiations, or representations, either written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement not expressly set forth in this Agreement are of no force and effect. This Agreement may be altered, amended, or modified only in writing

Agreement only upon the failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement after receipt of written notice of breach and failure to cure such breach within ten (10) days thereafter; provided, however, such notice shall not be required where a
breach or threatened breach would cause irreparable harm to the other party and such other party may immediately seek equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such breach. 
  
 16. Acknowledgement. Employee acknowledges that he has been
given a reasonable period of time to study this Agreement before signing it. Employee certifies that he has fully read, has received an explanation of, and completely understands the terms, nature, and effect of this Agreement. Employee further
acknowledges that he is executing this Agreement freely, knowingly, and voluntarily and that Employee’s execution of this Agreement is not the result of any fraud, duress, mistake, or undue influence whatsoever. In executing this Agreement,
Employee does not rely on any inducements, promises, or representations by MIKOHN other than the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  
 17. Effective Only Upon Execution by Authorized Officer of MIKOHN. This Agreement shall have no force or effect and shall be unenforceable
in its entirety until (i) it is approved by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors of MIKOHN and (ii) it is executed by a duly authorized officer of MIKOHN and such executed Agreement is delivered to Employee. 
  
 18. Indemnification and Insurance. MIKOHN will, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Employee and the Employee’s heirs, estate, executors and administrators against any costs, losses, claims, suits, proceedings, damages or liabilities to which the Employee may
become subject which arise out of, are based upon or relate to the Employee’s employment by MIKOHN (and any predecessor company to MIKOHN), or the Employee’s service as an officer or member of the Board of Directors of MIKOHN (or any
predecessor company of MIKOHN) or any Affiliate, including without limitation reimbursement for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Employee in connection with investigation and defending against any such costs, losses, claims,
suits, proceedings, damages or liabilities. In no event shall the amount of indemnification provided directly by MIKOHN to the Employee exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. Any indemnification provided to the Employee by third parties shall be
excluded from this amount, and shall not count against it. Moreover, MIKOHN reserves the right to deny any reimbursement or coverage claim presented by Employee to MIKOHN pursuant to this paragraph if the Employee has violated any material term of
this Agreement at any time. 
  
 MIKOHN may maintain directors and officers
liability insurance in commercially reasonable amounts (as reasonably determined by the Board), and, in the event such insurance is obtained, the Employee shall be covered under such insurance to the same extent as other senior management employees
(and directors, with respect to the Employee’s role as a director, as may be applicable); provided, however, that MIKOHN shall not be required to maintain such insurance coverage unless the Board determines that it is obtainable at reasonable
cost. 
  
 19. Change in Control Provision.
Notwithstanding any Agreement provisions to the contrary, for a period of twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, in the event of a termination of Employee other than for Cause, or if the Employee resigns for “Good Reason” as
that term is defined in Section 6(c) above, Employee shall be entitled to receive a sum equal to three times the Employee’s annualized Base Salary for the most recently completed calendar year, payable in a lump sum upon termination. At any
point during the thirteenth month following a Change in Control, Employee shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and receive a sum equal to the amount they would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to termination by MIKOHN other than for Cause
at the time of such election. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: 
  
 (i) a “Change in Control” of MIKOHN means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more of
the following events:

transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (a) on account of the acquisition of securities of 

  

 7 

 
MIKOHN by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any other Exchange Act Person from MIKOHN in a transaction or series of related transactions the primary
purpose of which is to obtain financing for MIKOHN through the issuance of equity securities or (b) solely because the level of Ownership held by any Exchange Act Person (the “Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of
the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by MIKOHN reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as
a result of the acquisition of voting securities by MIKOHN, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the
percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur; 
  
 b. There is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly)
MIKOHN and, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of MIKOHN immediately prior thereto do not Own, directly or indirectly, either (a) outstanding voting securities representing more
than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (b) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the
surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, in each case in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of MIKOHN immediately prior to such transaction; 
  
 c. The stockholders of MIKOHN approve or the Board approves
a plan of complete dissolution or liquidation of MIKOHN, or a complete dissolution or liquidation of MIKOHN shall otherwise occur; 
  
 d. There is consummated a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of MIKOHN and
its subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of MIKOHN and its subsidiaries to an Entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of which are Owned by stockholders of MIKOHN in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of MIKOHN immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition; or 
  
 e. Individuals who, on the date this Agreement is executed,
are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided, however, that if the appointment or election (or nomination for election) of any new Board
member was approved or recommended by a majority vote of the members of the Incumbent Board then still in office, such new member shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board. 
  
 (ii) “Entity” means a corporation, partnership or other entity. 
  
 (iii) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. 
  
 (iv) “Exchange Act Person” means any
natural person, Entity or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), except that “Exchange Act Person” shall not include (A) MIKOHN or any subsidiary of MIKOHN, (B) any employee benefit plan of
MIKOHN or any subsidiary of MIKOHN or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of MIKOHN or any subsidiary of MIKOHN, (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such
securities, or (D) an Entity Owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of MIKOHN in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of stock of MIKOHN. 
  
 (v) “Own,” “Owned,” “Owner,” “Ownership” - A person or Entity shall be deemed to
“Own,” to have “Owned,” to be the “Owner” of, or to have acquired “Ownership” of securities if such person or Entity, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or
otherwise, has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting, with respect to such securities.

 20. Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit the Employee would receive from
MIKOHN pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Employee will receive an additional payment (the “Gross-up”) from MIKOHN such that after taking into account all applicable federal, state and
local employment taxes, income taxes, the Excise Tax and all applicable taxes on the Gross-up (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the full amount of the Payment.
MIKOHN’s principal outside accounting firm or principal outside tax advisors, as selected by MIKOHN and Employee, will make all determinations hereunder and shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to
MIKOHN and the Employee within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which the Employee’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by MIKOHN or Employee) or such other time as requested by MIKOHN or the Employee. The
accounting firm or tax advisors shall furnish MIKOHN and the Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Employee regarding the application of the Excise Tax to such Payment. MIKOHN shall be entitled to rely upon the accounting firm’s
or tax advisors’ determinations, as applicable, which shall be final, binding and conclusive on Employee and MIKOHN. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have read, understood, and voluntarily executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

 In exchange for the consideration provided to me by the Employment Agreement that I am not otherwise entitled to receive, I hereby generally and
completely release the Company and its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, Affiliates, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities and
obligations, both known and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring prior to my signing this Release and Waiver. This general release includes, but is not limited to: (1) all claims
arising out of or in any way related to my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to my compensation or benefits from the Company, including, but not limited to, salary, bonuses, commissions,
vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in the Company; (3) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including, but not limited to, claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (5) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including, but not
limited to, claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (“ADEA”), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended). 
  
 I also acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release
does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” I hereby expressly
waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to any claims I may have against the Company. 
  
 I acknowledge that, among other rights, I am waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA, that this Release and
Waiver is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this Release and Waiver is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled as an executive of the Company. If I am 40 years of age or older upon execution of this
Release and Waiver, I further acknowledge that I have been advised, as required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, that: (a) the release and waiver granted herein does not relate to claims under the ADEA which may arise after this Release
and Waiver is executed; (b) I have the right to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily not to do so); and (c) I have twenty-one (21) days from the date of termination of my employment
with the Company in which to consider this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily to execute this Release and Waiver earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this Release and Waiver to revoke my consent to this
Release and Waiver; and (e) this Release and Waiver shall not be effective until the seven (7) day revocation period has expired. 
  
 If I am less than 40 years of age upon execution of this Release and Waiver, I acknowledge that I have the right to consult with an attorney prior to
executing this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily not to do so); and (c) I have five (5) days from the date of termination of my employment with the Company in which to consider this Release and Waiver (although I may choose
voluntarily to execute this Release and Waiver earlier). 
  
 This
Release and Waiver constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Company and me with regard to the subject matter hereof. I am not relying on any promise or representation by the Company that is not
expressly stated herein. This Release and Waiver may only be modified by a writing signed by both me and a duly authorized officer of the Company.

 A-1Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated August 10, 2004.

 Exhibit 10.33 
  
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of August 10, 2004, (“Effective Date”) by and between MIKOHN
GAMING CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (“MIKOHN” or the “Company”), and MICHAEL A. SICURO (“Employee”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, MIKOHN and Employee deem it to be in their respective best interests to enter into an amended and restated agreement providing for MIKOHN’s
employment of Employee pursuant to the terms herein stated. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, it is hereby agreed as follows: 
  
 1. Term. MIKOHN hereby employs and Employee hereby accepts employment with MIKOHN for a period of three (3) years beginning on January 16,
2004 (“Term”). Unless MIKOHN or Employee gives written notice that this Agreement shall be allowed to expire and the employment relationship thereby terminated (a “Non-renewal Notice”) at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the Term or any Renewal Term (as defined herein), this Agreement shall continue in effect for additional terms of (1) one year each (“Renewal Term”). 
  
 2. Duties of Employee. Employee’s position with MIKOHN will be Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. Employee shall do and perform all services, acts, or things reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the objectives and complete the tasks assigned to Employee by MIKOHN’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer. MIKOHN may assign Employee to another position commensurate with Employee’s training and experience so long as the compensation paid to Employee is equal to or greater than the compensation provided in this Agreement and the
position and related title, reporting level and responsibilities are of equal or greater nature, status and prestige. 
  
 3. Devotion of Time to MIKOHN’s Business. Employee shall be a full-time employee of MIKOHN and shall devote such substantial and
sufficient amounts of his productive time, ability, and attention to the business of MIKOHN during the Term of this Agreement as may be reasonable and necessary to accomplish the objectives and complete the tasks assigned to Employee. Prior written
consent of MIKOHN shall be required before Employee shall undertake to perform any outside services of a business, commercial, or professional nature, whether for compensation or otherwise. The foregoing notwithstanding, Employee may devote
reasonable time to activities other than those required under this Agreement, including activities involving professional, charitable, community, educational, religious and similar types of organizations, speaking engagements, membership on the
boards of directors of other organizations and similar types of activities to the extent that such activities do not inhibit or prohibit the performance of services under this Agreement. 
  
 4. Uniqueness of Services. Employee hereby acknowledges that the services to be performed by him under the
terms of this Agreement are of a special and unique value. Accordingly, the obligations of Employee under this Agreement are non-assignable. 
  
 5. Compensation of Employee. 
  
 a. Base Annual Salary. As compensation for services hereunder, Employee shall receive a Base Annual Salary at the rate of
not less than $275,000 per annum payable in accordance with MIKOHN’s ordinary payroll practices (and in any event no less frequently than monthly). On each anniversary date of January 16, 2004 (the “Commencement Date”),
Employee’s Base Annual Salary shall be increased by not less than 5% per annum. 
  
 b. Signing Bonus/Moving Allowance. Employee acknowledges that he has been paid $100,000 as a combined signing bonus and
moving allowance. Such bonus was “grossed up” to cover 

  

 
Employee’s personal income taxes payable in connection therewith. This sum was given in consideration of Employee’s commitment not to terminate
this Agreement prior to the initial expiration date, other than as permitted pursuant to Sections 6(c) or 19 below. If Employee terminates this Agreement (other than as permitted pursuant to Sections 6(c) or 19 below) or if Employee is terminated
for Cause (as defined Section 6(b) below) prior to the expiration of three (3) years from the Commencement Date, Employee will be obligated to return and remit a pro rata portion of the sum to MIKOHN. (For example, if Employee should terminate this
Agreement after one year as described above, Employee will be required to remit the sum of $66,667.) 
  
 c. Bonus. Employee shall be eligible for an annual bonus and a three-year cumulative bonus payment pursuant to the executive
incentive compensation plan approved by the Board of Directors on August 10, 2004 (the “Executive Incentive Compensation Plan”); provided, however that MIKOHN and Employee, as applicable, achieve the relevant bonus targets set forth in the
Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, as such targets may be determined (and/or modified and revised, as applicable) by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors in consultation with Employee. 
  
 d. Stock Options. MIKOHN has granted to
Employee options to purchase shares of MIKOHN Common Stock (the “Options”) under MIKOHN’s Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”) from time to time. The Options are subject to the terms and conditions the Option Plan, and shall
additionally provide as follows: 
  
 (1) The
Options shall be designated as Incentive Options. 
  
 (2) On each of the five (5) anniversary dates of each respective date of grant, one-fifth (1/5) of the Option Shares shall become eligible for purchase by Employee. 
  
 (3) The Options shall terminate on (i) the expiration date specified in the Stock Option Agreements or (ii)
such earlier date as termination may occur according to the terms and conditions of the Option Plan and/or the Stock Option Agreements. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Employee and/or his successors and assigns shall have only
such rights with respect to the Option as are specified in the Plan, the Stock Option Agreements, or this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to any compensation in any form for the loss of any other right with respect thereto. 
  
 (4) All Options to acquire common stock of MIKOHN granted to
Employee during the term of this Agreement shall become 100% vested (i) upon any “Change in Control” as defined in Section 19 below; (ii) if MIKOHN or any successor or assignee of MIKOHN should terminate this Agreement other than for Cause
or deliver a Non-renewal Notice to Employee pursuant to Section 1 above; (iii) if Employee should terminate this Agreement for Good Reason as permitted in Section 6(c) below; or (iv) upon Employee’s death or permanent disability as described in
Section 6(e) below; provided, however, that in the case of (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such vesting shall be conditioned on Employee (or Employee’s estate) furnishing to MIKOHN an effective waiver and release of claims (a form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A). 
  
 (5) Employee
shall have not less than 90 days to exercise any options which are vested as of the effective date of termination of his employment with MIKOHN, regardless of the reason therefor. 
  
 e. Automobile. MIKOHN shall provide Employee an automobile allowance in the amount of $1,000
per month. 
  
 f. Country Club
Membership. MIKOHN shall provide Employee with the use of a membership in a country club of Employee’s choice, the initial cost of which shall not exceed $35,000. In addition, MIKOHN shall reimburse Employee up to $500 per month for
country club dues. Such monthly amounts shall be “grossed up” to cover Employee’s personal income taxes payable in connection therewith. 
  
 g. Employee Benefits. Employee shall receive such benefits, fringe benefits and entitlements as is usual and customary for
MIKOHN to provide an executive employee of like status and position and 

  

 2 

 
are consistent with MIKOHN’s established policies on employment, which may be revised from time to time in the sole discretion of MIKOHN, including but
not limited to: Executive medical benefits for Employee and his family and an Annual Life Insurance premium payment by MIKOHN for Employee of up to $15,000 per annum for the duration of the Agreement. 
  
 h. Business Expenses. MIKOHN will
reimburse Employee for reasonable business expenses incurred in performing Employee’s duties and promoting the business of MIKOHN. 
  
 i. Restricted Stock. MIKOHN has granted Employee 100,000 restricted shares (“Shares”) that are governed by, and
vested in accordance with the terms of MIKOHN’s Restricted Stock Plan (“Stock Plan”). The Fair Market Price for the Shares is $4.84. The Shares have been granted pursuant to the form of MIKOHN’s standard Restricted Stock Grant
Agreement (a copy of which is attached hereto) and are subject to the terms and conditions thereof. 
  
 6. Termination of Employment. 
  
 a. Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other. If MIKOHN delivers a
Non-renewal Notice to Employee, or if MIKOHN should terminate this Agreement other than for “Cause” as defined in Section 6(b) below (“termination without Cause”) or Employee should resign for “Good Reason” as defined
in Section 6(c) below (in either instance except as described in Section 19 below, in which case the provisions of Section 19 shall apply), MIKOHN shall, upon the Employee’s furnishing to MIKOHN an effective waiver and release of claims (a form
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), pay to Employee (x) a sum equal to Employee’s Base Salary for the most recent 18 months, and (y) an amount equal to Employee’s COBRA health insurance premiums for the 18 month period immediately
following such termination. In such event, MIKOHN shall also reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses associated with outplacement employment activities for Employee, as well pay Employee the sum of $50,000 (including a “gross up” amount
to cover Employee’s personal income taxes payable in connection therewith) for Employee’s relocation. Any sums payable under this Section shall be paid in full upon the effective date of the termination of the employment relationship
between MIKOHN and Employee. 
  
 b.
Termination For Cause. MIKOHN shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment at any time for Cause by giving Employee written notice of the effective date of termination. In the event of termination for Cause, Employee
shall be paid Employee’s salary and accrued and unused vacation benefits through the effective date of termination on the date of termination. After the effective date of termination, Employee shall not be entitled to accrue or vest in any
further salary, severance pay, benefits, fringe benefits or entitlements except as may be required by statute or regulation of any agency or competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 6(b)(e)
below, pay Employee the sum of $50,000 (including a “gross up” amount to cover Employee’s personal income taxes payable in connection therewith) for Employee’s relocation. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”
shall mean: 
  

	 	(a)	The willful and continued failure by the Employee to substantially perform his duties with MIKOHN (other than any such failure resulting from the Employee’s being Disabled),
within a reasonable period of time after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the Board of Directors (“Board”), which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the
Employee has not substantially performed his duties; 

  

	 	(b)	The willful engaging by the Employee in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to MIKOHN, monetarily or otherwise; 

  

	 	(c)	Employee’s conviction of a crime involving serious moral turpitude to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of the MIKOHN’s Board, the Employee’s credibility
and reputation no longer conform to the standard of MIKOHN’s Employees; 

  

 3 

	 	(d)	The knowing or repeated violation of any material MIKOHN policy applicable to the Employee following written notice from MIKOHN of such violations. 

  

	 	(e)	The loss, revocation, suspension of, or failure to obtain any license or certification of Employee necessary for Employee to discharge Employee’s duties on behalf of MIKOHN.
Any issues involving the loss, revocation, suspension of or failure to obtain of such licenses and/or certifications will be provided in writing to the Employee, and Employee, with the assistance of MIKOHN, will have a reasonable period of time to
remedy the respective issue. 

  

	 	(f)	Willful acts or omissions by Employee which jeopardize any governmental registration, license, permit or other governmental permission material to the business of MIKOHN in any
jurisdiction in which MIKOHN does business or seeks to do business; 

  

	 	(g)	The solicitation or acceptance of payment or gratuity from any existing or potential customer or supplier of MIKOHN without the prior written consent of MIKOHN’s Chief
Executive Officer. 

  
 c.
Resignation For Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment under this Agreement for “Good Reason” (as defined hereunder) at any time, by providing written notice to MIKOHN of same following the provision to MIKOHN of
a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such Good Reason. Any termination for Good Reason shall have the same legal effect under this Agreement as a termination without Cause by MIKOHN. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason”
shall mean, with respect to the Employee, the occurrence of one or more of the following events without such Employee’s express written consent: (i) a material reduction in the Employee’s duties, responsibilities, title or reporting
relationships; (ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s base salary or total target annual cash compensation; or (iii) a permanent relocation of the Employee’s business office to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the location
at which the Employee currently performs his or her duties. 
  
 d. For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the Employee’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, intentionally by the Employee not in good faith and
without reasonable belief that the Employee’s action or omission was in the best interest of MIKOHN. 
  
 e. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event that: (i) Employee fails or is unable to perform Employee’s duties due
to injury, illness or other incapacity for ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period (except that Employee may be entitled to disability payments pursuant to MIKOHN’s disability plan, if any); or (ii) Death of Employee. Upon termination
of this Agreement as the result of the death or disability of Employee, all vested stock options and restricted stock provided herein shall become the property of the Employee’s estate. 
  
 7. Covenant of Confidentiality. All documents, records, files,
manuals, forms, materials, supplies, computer programs, trade secrets and other information which comes into Employee’s possession from time to time during Employee’s employment by MIKOHN, and/or any of MIKOHN’s subsidiaries or
affiliates, shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary to MIKOHN and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of MIKOHN. Employee acknowledges that all such confidential and proprietary information is confidential and proprietary and not
readily available to MIKOHN’s business competitors. On the effective date of the termination of the employment relationship or at such other date specified by MIKOHN, Employee agrees that he will return to MIKOHN all such confidential and
proprietary items (including, but not limited to, company badge and keys) in his control or possession, and all copies thereof, and that he will not remove any such items from the offices of MIKOHN. 
  
 8. Covenant of Non-Disclosure. Without the prior written
approval of MIKOHN, Employee shall keep confidential and not disclose or otherwise make use of any of the confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets referred to in Section 7 nor reveal the same to any third party whomsoever, except as
required by law. 
  

 4 

 9. Covenant of Non-Solicitation. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two
(2) years following the effective date of termination, Employee, either on Employee’s own account or for any person, firm, company or other entity, shall not solicit, interfere with or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of MIKOHN, or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave their employment or to breach their employment agreement, if any, with MIKOHN. 
  
 10. Covenant of Cooperation. Employee agrees to cooperate with MIKOHN in any litigation or administrative proceedings involving any matters
with which Employee was involved during his employment by MIKOHN. MIKOHN shall reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in providing such assistance. 
  

11. Covenant Against Competition. 
  
 a. Scope and Term. During the Term of this Agreement and for an additional period ending one (1) year after the effective
date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, Employee shall not directly or indirectly engage in or become a partner, officer, principal, employee, consultant, investor, creditor or stockholder of any business,
proprietorship, association, firm, corporation or any other business entity which is engaged or proposes to engage or hereafter engages in any business which competes with the business of MIKOHN and/or any of MIKOHN’s subsidiaries or affiliates
in any geographic area in which MIKOHN conducts business at the time of the termination or expiration of the employment relationship. Ownership by Employee, as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of any corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this paragraph.

Covenant. Upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Employee given prior to the expiration of the term of the Covenant Against Competition specified in Section 11(a) above, MIKOHN shall have the option to extend said term for a period of

 (1) If Employee is terminated without Cause or this Agreement expires without renewal, or Employee terminates his employment pursuant to
Sections 6(c) or 19, the sum of $300,000.00 payable in 12 monthly installments; or 
  
 (2) If Employee terminates this Agreement other than as permitted in Sections 6(c) or 19 or is terminated by MIKOHN for Cause, the sum of
$120,000.00 payable in 12 monthly installments.

formulae, techniques, and any improvements to the foregoing. 
  
 b. Application. This Section 12 shall apply to all Inventions made or conceived by Employee, whether or not during the hours of his employment or with the use of MIKOHN facilities, materials, or

 e. Patents. At MIKOHN’s request and
expense, Employee shall execute such documents and provide such assistance as may be deemed necessary by MIKOHN to apply for, defend or enforce any United States and foreign letters patent based on or related to such Inventions.

exclusive. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the obligations contained in Sections 7 through 12, of this Agreement are fair, do not unreasonably restrict Employee’s future employment and business opportunities, and are commensurate
with the compensation arrangements set out in this Agreement.

Indemnification For Employee Officers. MIKOHN will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Employee and the Employee’s heirs, estate, executors and administrators against any costs, losses,
claims, suits, proceedings, damages or liabilities to which the Employee may become subject which arise out of, are based upon or relate to the Employee’s employment by MIKOHN (and any predecessor company to MIKOHN), or the Employee’s
service as an officer or member of the Board of Directors of MIKOHN (or any predecessor company of MIKOHN) or any Affiliate, including without limitation reimbursement for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Employee in connection
with investigation and defending against any such costs, losses, claims, suits, proceedings, damages or liabilities. 
  
 MIKOHN may maintain directors and officers liability insurance in commercially reasonable amounts (as reasonably determined by the Board), and, in the event such
insurance is obtained, the Employee shall be covered under such insurance to the same extent as other senior management employees (and directors, with respect to the Employee’s role as a director, as may be applicable); provided, however, that
MIKOHN shall not be required to maintain such insurance coverage unless the Board determines that it is obtainable at reasonable cost. 
  

 7 

 19. Change in Control Provision. Notwithstanding any Agreement provisions to the contrary,
for a period of twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, in the event of a termination of Employee other than for Cause, or if the Employee resigns for “Good Reason” as that term is defined in Section 6(c) above, Employee shall be
entitled to receive a sum equal to three times the Employee’s annualized Base Salary for the most recently completed calendar year payable in a lump sum upon termination. At any point during the thirteenth month following a Change in Control,
Employee shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and receive a sum equal to the amount they would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to termination by MIKOHN other than for Cause at the time of such election. In addition to the foregoing, upon a
Change in Control and separation of the Employee from MIKOHN, MIKOHN agrees to reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses associated with outplacement employment activities for Employee. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions
shall apply: 
  
 (i) a “Change in Control” of MIKOHN
means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more of the following events: 
  
 a. Any Exchange Act Person becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of MIKOHN representing more than fifty percent (50%)
of the combined voting power of MIKOHN’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (a) on account of the
acquisition of securities of MIKOHN by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any other Exchange Act Person from MIKOHN in a transaction or series of related transactions the primary purpose of which is to obtain financing for MIKOHN through the
issuance of equity securities or (b) solely because the level of Ownership held by any Exchange Act Person (the “Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase
or other acquisition of voting securities by MIKOHN reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by MIKOHN,
and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned

 EXHIBIT A 
  

RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS 
  
 In consideration of the payments and other benefits set forth in Section 5(d)(4) and Section 6(a) of the Employment Agreement dated
                        , to which this form is attached, I, MICHAEL A. SICURO, hereby
furnish MIKOHN GAMING CORPORATION (the “Company”), with the following release and waiver (“Release and Waiver”). 
  
 In exchange for the consideration provided to me by the Employment Agreement that I am not otherwise entitled to receive, I
hereby generally and completely release the Company and its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, Affiliates, and assigns from any and all
claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring prior to my signing this Release and Waiver. This general release includes, but is not limited
to: (1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to my compensation or benefits from the Company, including, but not limited to, salary, bonuses,
commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in the Company; (3) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant
of good faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including, but not limited to, claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (5) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including, but
not limited to, claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (“ADEA”), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended). 
  
 I also acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release does not
extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” I hereby expressly waive and
relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to any claims I may have against the Company. 
  
 I acknowledge that, among other rights, I am waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA, that this Release and
Waiver is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this Release and Waiver is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled as an executive of the Company. If I am 40 years of age or older upon execution of this
Release and Waiver, I further acknowledge that I have been advised, as required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, that: (a) the release and waiver granted herein does not relate to claims under the ADEA which may arise after this Release
and Waiver is executed; (b) I have the right to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily not to do so); and (c) I have twenty-one (21) days from the date of termination of my employment
with the Company in which to consider this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily to execute this Release and Waiver earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this Release and Waiver to revoke my consent to this
Release and Waiver; and (e) this Release and Waiver shall not be effective until the seven (7) day revocation period has expired. 
  
 If I am less than 40 years of age upon execution of this Release and Waiver, I acknowledge that I have the right to consult with an attorney prior to
executing this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily not to do so); and (c) I have five (5) days from the date of termination of my employment with the Company in which to consider this Release and Waiver (although I may choose
voluntarily to execute this Release and Waiver earlier). 
  
 This
Release and Waiver constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Company and me with regard to the subject matter hereof. I am not relying on any promise or representation by the Company that is not
expressly stated herein. This Release and Waiver may only be modified by a writing signed by both me and a duly authorized officer of the Company.
