        2. Employee's Acceptance of
Employment.  Employee hereby accepts such employment and agrees

shall be entitled to twenty-seven (27) days paid-time off ("PTO days") during
each Employment Year. Any such PTO days are to be taken in accordance with the

Employee or his disability due to physical or mental illness for a period of

(excluding minor violations) or which is reasonably likely to result in the loss

entity's inability to become so licensed.

      

      
        

         

        7. Non-Competition.  In

        7.1           Employee

entity which is engaged in the design, manufacture and/or sale of any gaming
devices or any business entity which is engaged in any other business in which
the Corporation or any of its Affiliates is engaged within any country in the
world where Employer does business. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
prohibit Employee from investing his funds in securities of a company if the

or traded in the over-the-counter market and Employee's holdings therein
represent less than five percent (5%) of the total number of shares or principal
amount of other securities of such company outstanding.  Employee
acknowledges that the Corporation's business is international in scope, and that
this limitation upon Employee will not interfere with Employee's ability to gain
future employment.

      

      
        

         

        7.2           Employee

of two (2) years following the termination of the Employee's employment for any
reason, without the written consent of the Corporation, directly or indirectly,
by action alone or in concert
with others, induce or influence, or seek to induce or influence any person who
is engaged by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates as an employee, agent,
independent contractor or otherwise, to terminate his employment or engagement,
nor shall Employee, directly or indirectly, through any other person, firm or
corporation, employ or engage, or solicit for employment or engagement, or
advise or recommend to any other person or entity that such person or entity
employ or engage or solicit for employment or engagement, any person or entity
employed or engaged by the Corporation.

      

      
        

         

        7.3           Employee
acknowledges that the provisions of this Paragraph 7 are reasonable in scope and
duration and are necessary for the protection of the Corporation. In the event
that any provision of this Paragraph 7, including any sentence, clause or part
hereof, shall be deemed contrary to law or invalid or unenforceable in any
respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not
be affected, but shall, subject to the discretion of such court, remain in full
force and effect and any invalid and unenforceable provisions shall be deemed,
without further action on the part of the parties hereto, modified, amended and
limited to the extent necessary to render the same valid and
enforceable.

      

      
        

         

        7.4           Employee
agrees that the restrictions of this Paragraph 7 shall be assignable by
Employer, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to any successor in interest
to either the game development operations or substantially all of the assets or

        8.           Confidentiality
Agreement.

      

      
        

                   8.1           As
used herein, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean the terms of this
Employment Agreement and any and all information of the Corporation and of its
Affiliates (for purposes of Paragraphs 8, 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement, the
Corporation's Affiliates shall be deemed included within the meaning of
"Corporation"), including, but not limited to, all data, compilations, programs,
devices, strategies, or methods concerning or related to (i) the Corporation's
finances, financial condition, results of operations, employee relations,
amounts of compensation paid to officers and employees and any other data or
information relating to the internal affairs of the Corporation and its
operations; (ii) the terms and conditions (including prices) of sales and offers
of sales of the Corporation's products and services; (iii) the terms, conditions
and current status of the Corporation's agreements and relationship with any
customer or supplier; (iv) the customer and supplier lists and the identities
and business preferences of the Corporation's actual and prospective customers
and suppliers or any employee or agent thereof with whom the Corporation
communicates; (v) the trade secrets, manufacturing and operating techniques,
price data, costs, methods, systems, plans, procedures, formulas, processes,
hardware, software, machines, inventions, designs, drawings, artwork,
blueprints, specifications, tools, skills, ideas, and strategic plans possessed,
developed, accumulated or acquired by the Corporation; (vi) any communications

and any attorney retained by the Corporation for any purpose, or any person

knowledge with respect to all gaming developed or in any stage of development by
the Corporation; (viii) the abilities and specialized
training or experience of others who as employees or consultants of the
Corporation during the Employee's employment have engaged in the design or
development of any such products; and (ix) any other matter or thing, whether or
not recorded on any medium, (a) by which the Corporation derives actual or
potential economic value from such matter or thing being not generally known to
other persons or entities who might obtain economic value from its disclosure or
use, or (b) which gives the Corporation an opportunity to obtain an advantage

property of the Corporation;

      

      
        

         

        (ii)
Employee shall use his best efforts and the utmost diligence to guard and
protect the Confidential Information from disclosure to any competitor, customer
or supplier of the Corporation or any other person, firm, corporation or other
entity;

      

      
        

         

        (iii)
unless the Corporation gives Employee prior express written permission, during
his employment and thereafter, Employee shall not use for his own benefit, or
divulge to any competitor or customer or any other person, firm, corporation, or
other entity, any of the Confidential Information which Employee may obtain,
learn about, develop or be entrusted with as a result of Employee's employment
by the Corporation; and (iv) except in the ordinary course of the Corporation's
business, Employee shall not seek or accept any Confidential Information from
any former, present or future employee of the Corporation.

      

      
        

         

        8.3           Employee

Information including, without limitation, such Confidential Information as

Corporation to the Employee solely to assist his in performing his services
under this Agreement. Employee further agrees that after his employment with the
Corporation is terminated for any reason:

      

      
        (i)
Employee shall not remove from the property of the Corporation and shall
immediately return to the Corporation, all documentary or tangible Confidential
Information in his possession, custody, or control and not make or keep any
copies, notes, abstracts, summaries, tapes or other record of any type of
Confidential Information; and

      

      
        

         

        (ii)
Employee shall immediately return to the Corporation any and all other property
of the Corporation in his possession, custody or control, including, without
limitation, any and all keys, security cards, passes, credit cards and marketing
literature.

        9.           Invention Disclosure.
Employee agrees to disclose to the Corporation promptly and fully all ideas,
inventions, discoveries, developments or improvements ("Inventions") that may be
made or conceived by his and all "Intellectual Material" (as defined below) that

employment by the Corporation or during a period of one (1) year after the
termination of his employment with the Corporation which either (i) in any way
is connected with or related to the actual or contemplated business, work,
research or undertakings of the Corporation or (ii) results from or is suggested
by any task, project or work that he may do for, in connection with, or on
behalf of the Corporation. Employee agrees that such Inventions and
"Intellectual Material" shall become the sole and exclusive property of the

service marks and all copyrightable expressions in audio visual works, computer
software, electronic circuitry and all mask works for integrated
circuits.  With respect to Inventions and Intellectual Material,
Employee shall during the period of his employment hereunder and at any time and
from time to time hereafter (a) execute all documents requested by the
Corporation for vesting in the Corporation the entire right, title and interest
in and to the same, (b) execute all documents requested by the Corporation for
filing and prosecuting such applications for patents, trademarks and/or
copyrights as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may desire to prosecute,
and (c) give the Corporation all assistance it reasonably requires, including
the giving of testimony in any suit, action or proceeding, in order to obtain,
maintain and protect the Corporation's right therein and thereto.  If
any such assistance is required following the termination of Employee's
employment with the Corporation, the Corporation shall reimburse Employee for
his lost wages or salary and the reasonable expenses incurred by him in
rendering such assistance.  Anything contained in this paragraph to
the contrary notwithstanding, this paragraph does not apply to an Invention or
Intellectual Material for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade
secret information of the Corporation was used and which was developed entirely
on the Employee's own time, unless the Invention or Intellectual Material
relates: (i) to the business of the Corporation,
(ii) to the Corporation's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development, or (iii) the Invention or Intellectual Material results from any
work performed by the Employee for the Corporation.

      

      
        

         

        10.           Nondisparagement.  Employee
agrees that he will not disparage or make any statements or disclosures
injurious to, or which may reasonably be taken to be injurious or prejudicial or
in any way detrimental to, the Corporation or its Affiliates.  In the
event that Employee breaches this Paragraph 10 while receiving severance
payments pursuant to Paragraph 3, Corporation shall have the right, without
waiving any other remedies in law or equity, to cease any further payments
pursuant to Paragraph 3.  Notwithstanding such cessation of payments,
all of Employees obligations hereunder shall be continuing and
enforceable.

      

      
        

         

        11.           Remedies.  Employee
acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Corporation is highly
competitive and that the provisions of Paragraphs 7, 8, 9 and 10 are reasonable
and necessary for the protection of the Corporation and its Affiliates and that
any violation of such covenants would cause immediate, immeasurable and
irreparable harm, loss and damage to the Corporation not adequately compensable
by a monetary award.  Accordingly, the Employee agrees, without
limiting any of the other remedies available to the Corporation, that any
violation of said covenants, or any one of them, may be enjoined or restrained
by any court of competent jurisdiction, and that any temporary restraining order
or emergency, preliminary or final injunctions may be issued by any court of
competent jurisdiction, without notice and without bond. In the event any
proceedings are commenced by the Corporation against Employee for any actual or
threatened violation of any of said covenants and if the Corporation prevails in
such litigation, then, Employee shall be liable to the Corporation for, and
shall pay to the Corporation, all costs and expenses of any kind, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, which the Corporation may incur in connection with
such proceedings.

      

      

      12.           Change of
Control.

       

      12.1           If
at any time during the term of this Agreement, (a) individuals who presently
constitute the Board of Directors of WMS Industries Inc. or the then ultimate
parent corporation of the Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), or who have
been recommended for election to such Board by two-thirds of such Board
consisting of individuals who are either presently on such Board or such
recommended successors, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
of such Board or (b) both of the following occur (i) any person or entity or
group of affiliated persons or entities who are not owners of at least 15% of
the outstanding shares of voting securities of the Parent Corporation on the
Effective Date acquire more than 25% of the outstanding shares of voting
securities of the Parent Corporation and (ii) within 180 days of such
acquisition of 25% of the outstanding shares of voting securities the
Corporation terminates Employee’s employment for any reason other than for
cause, death or disability (the events in clause (a) or (b) being hereafter
referred to as a “Change of Control”) and, in the case of clause (a), Employee
gives written notice to the Corporation within 60 days after such Change of
Control of his election to terminate his employment hereunder, the Corporation
shall pay to Employee, as severance pay and in lieu of any other rights or
remedies which might otherwise be available to him under this Agreement, an
amount equal to the annual base salary compensation to which
Employee would otherwise be entitled during a twenty-four (24) month period,
which amount will be paid in regular payroll intervals.

      

      
        
           

        

        
          4

          
          

        

        
           

        

      

      12.3           In
the event of a Change of Control of the Parent Corporation, or if any person or
entity or group of affiliated persons or entities who are not the owners of at
least 15% of the outstanding shares of voting securities of the Parent
Corporation on the date hereof acquires more than 25% of the outstanding shares
of the Parent Corporation’s voting securities (each such event being an
“Accelerated Vesting Event”), all unexpired stock options and stock equity
grants owned by Employee on the date of the Accelerated Vesting Event shall, if
unvested, vest fully on the date of the Accelerated Vesting Event
notwithstanding any vesting provisions of such options or equity
grants.  All options and stock equity grants hereafter granted to
Employee by the Parent Corporation shall provide for substantially similar
accelerated vesting.

      
        

         

        13.           Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with
respect to the matters set forth herein and no amendment or modification hereof
shall be valid or binding unless made in writing and signed by both parties
hereto.

      

      
        

         

        14.           Notices. Any notice,
required, permitted or desired to be given pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all
purposes if delivered in person or sent by certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage and fees prepaid as follows:

        its
address set forth above,

      

      
        Attention:

        and, if
to Employee, at his address set forth above.

      

      
        

         

        Either of
the parties hereto may at any time and from time to time change the address to
which notice shall be sent hereunder by notice to the other party given as
provided herein. The date of the giving of any notice hereunder shall be the
date delivered or if sent by mail, shall be the date of the posting of the
mail.

      

      
        

         

        15.           Non-Assignability.
Neither this Agreement nor the right to receive any payments hereunder may be
assigned by Employee. This Agreement shall be binding upon Employee and inure to
the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators and be binding upon the
Corporation and inure to the benefit of its successors and
assigns.

      

      
        

              
16.           Choice of Law And
Forum.  This Agreement shall be governed, interpreted and
construed under the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to its conflict
of law principles. The parties agree that any dispute or litigation arising in
whole or in part hereunder shall, at the option of the Corporation, be litigated
in any state or Federal court of competent subject matter jurisdiction sitting
in Cook County, Illinois, to the jurisdiction of which and venue in which
Employee irrevocably consents.

      

      
        

              17.           Waiver.  No
course of dealing nor any delay on the part of any party in exercising any
rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights. No waiver of any
default or breach of
this Agreement shall be deemed a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other
breach or default.

      

      
        

               
18.           Severability.  If
any provision of this Agreement including any paragraph, sentence, clause or
part thereof, shall be deemed contrary to law or invalid or unenforceable in any
respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of such
paragraph, sentence, clause or part thereof shall not be affected, but shall,
subject to the discretion of such court, remain in full force and effect and any
invalid and unenforceable provisions shall be deemed, without further action on
the part of the parties hereto, modified, amended and limited to the extent
necessary to render the same valid and enforceable.

      

      
        

         

        19.           Survival at
Termination.   The termination of Employee's employment
hereunder shall not affect his obligations to the Corporation hereunder which by
the nature thereof are intended to survive any such termination including,
without limitation, Employee's obligations under Paragraphs 7, 8 9 and 10.

      

      
        

         

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed as of the date first above set forth.
