matters which will be beneficial to the Company in the conduct of its business;

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Hicks as a consultant and advisor

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein
contained and the consideration to be paid hereunder, and for other valuable

      1. Recitals are True. The above recitals are true and correct and

terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereinbelow.

      3. Devotion of Time to Consulting Services. Hicks shall devote such time
to rendering consulting and advising services as is reasonably requested from
time-to time by the Company. The services to be rendered by Hicks to the Company

      4. Consideration for Consulting Services. As consideration for Hicks
services hereunder during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay
Hicks and Hicks shall accept from the Company the following:

            (a)   A sum equal to five percent (5%) of the gross investment
                  proceeds received by the Company (i) from investor(s)
                  introduced to the Company by Hicks or (ii) in a transaction
                  with respect to which Hicks' efforts were instrumental in
                  negotiating and closing on behalf of the Company. In addition,
                  at the option of Hicks, Hicks may give notice to the Company
                  that it is his good faith belief that the offering price per
                  share of the common stock can be increased over and above the
                  initial offering price of $1.00 per share, for each $0.01 per
                  share increase in the actual selling price of the common
                  stock, the commission payable to Hicks pursuant to this
                  Section 4(a) shall be increased by one (1) basis point up to a
                  maximum of 10% (e.g., if the original offering price is $1.00
                  per share at a selling price of $2.00 per share, the
                  commission would be increased to 6% of the gross investment
                  proceeds received by the Company). Such sum shall be due and
                  payable by the Company within five (5) business days of
                  confirmation that the proceeds or consideration from such
                  investment transaction have been received by the Company; and

            (b)   Subject to the adjustment provisions set forth hereinbelow, up
                  to 630,343 shares of restricted common stock, prorated
                  according to the ratio of 315,172 shares of common stock for
                  each $3,000,000 of gross investment proceeds received by the
                  Company as a result of Hicks' efforts, for a maximum
                  investment of $6,000,000.00 (e.g., if the Company receives
                  $1,000,000.00 in gross investment proceeds, the Company will
                  issue Hicks 105,057 shares); and

            (c)   Subject to the adjustment provisions set forth hereinbelow,
                  warrants to purchase up to 252, 137 shares of restricted
                  common stock prorated according to the ratio of a warrant to
                  purchase 126,067 shares of common stock for each $3,000,000 of
                  gross investment proceeds received by the Company as a result
                  of Hicks' efforts, for a maximum investment of $6,000,000.00
                  (e.g., if the Company receives $1,000,000.00 in gross
                  investment proceeds, the Company will grant to Hicks a warrant
                  to purchase 42,023 shares). The exercise price of such
                  warrants shall be $2.00 per share, which upon exercise,
                  payment for the shares of common stock underlying the warrants
                  may be made through "cashless exercise", as defined
                  hereinbelow, and the warrants may be exercised at any time
                  from and after the date of receipt by Hicks for up to five (5)
                  years form such date.

      In the event that the contemplated divestiture transaction with Prestige
Travel is not consummated by June 30, 2000, the maximum number of shares
available to be earned by Hicks pursuant to Section 4(b) hereinabove shall be
700,344 and the warrants to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to Section
4(c) hereinabove shall be for a maximum of 280,137 shares.

                                       2
<PAGE>

If the divestiture of Prestige Travel is not consummated prior to June 30, 2000,
any additional shares or warrants to purchase shares owed to Hicks shall be
transferred to Hicks by the Company on July 1, 2000.

      The term "cashless exercise" means in lieu of any cash payment required
hereunder for the exercise of the warrants, Hicks shall have the rights to
exercise the warrant in whole or in part by surrendering the warrant in exchange
for the number of shares of the Company's Common stock equal to (x) the number
of shares as to which the warrant is being exercised multiplied by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Market Price (as defined below) of the
common stock less than the aggregate exercise price of the warrant being
exercised and the denominator of which is the Market Price. The term "Market
Price" means the average of the closing sale price per share of the common stock
on the principal stock exchange or market on which the common stock is then
quoted or traded on each of the ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the
date on which written notice of election to exercise the warrants has been given
to the company. If hicks opts for a cashless exercise of the warrant, no other
consideration shall be paid to the Company, other than surrendering the warrant
itself, nor will there be paid any to the commission or other remuneration to
any other person or entity by Hicks.

      5. Status as Independent Contractor. The parties agree that Hicks'
relationship with the Company will be that of independent contractor, and
nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create an employer - employee
relationship between the parties. As such, Hicks will not be entitled to any
compensation other than agreed upon herein.

      6. Term of Agreement. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the
date hereof, and it shall remain effective and continue in force and effect
until terminated in accordance herewith; this Agreement may be terminated by
either party upon ten (10) business days prior written notice to the other
party. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6 shall in no way
terminate the obligation of the Company to pay to Hicks any amounts accrued
under Section 4 hereof prior to termination. In the event that Hicks shall fail
to meet the specified gross investment goals set forth in Section 3 hereof, this
Agreement shall be immediately terminable at the option of the Company without
advanced notice to Hicks.

      7. Obligations of the Company. During the term of this Agreement, the
President, Vice President, or another high level executive of the Company
familiar with the business plan of the Company shall be reasonably accessible to
Hicks for the purpose of presenting and explaining the business plan and
opportunities of the Company to potential investor contacts of Hicks and
providing other reasonably necessary assistance as requested by Hicks.

      8. Compliance with Laws. Hicks shall at all times during this Agreement be
in material compliance with all federal and state laws, including, but not
limited to, all provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") , the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940 , as amended. Hicks specifically agrees not to
make any general solicitations or public advertisements in connection with any
offers to sell or sales of the securities of the Company since the offering is
being made without registration of the common stock under the Securities Act in
reliance on an exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving a public
offering and since the common stock is being sold without any investor being
furnished a prospectus setting forth all of the information that

                                       3
<PAGE>

would be required to be furnished under the Securities Act and since the
purchasers are required to be "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D under the Securities Act.

      9. Severability. The parties hereto intend all provisions of this
Agreement to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Accordingly,
should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any
provision is too broad to be enforced as written the parties intend that the
court should reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be
enforceable. If, however, any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable under present or future law, such provision shall be
fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision were never a part hereof; and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by
its severance, except to the extent such remaining provisions constitute
obligations of another party to this Agreement corresponding to the
unenforceable provision.

      10. Notices. Any and all notices, demands, requests, designations,
consents, offers, acceptances or any other communications that may be or are
required to be given, served or sent by any party to another party pursuant to

                             MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT

By and Between:

Senior Systems Technology, Inc.              GameTech International, Inc.
600 Technology Drive                         4070 Silver Sage Drive

{Referred to herein as "SST"}                {Referred to herein as "Customer"}

This Manufacturing Agreement provides the basis for consistent contractual
practices relating to the release by Customer of Purchase Orders, and the
acceptance and fulfillment of those Purchase Orders by SST. Each request by
Customer for the manufacture of products by SST shall be by a written Purchase
Order issued by Customer and which, subject to acceptance by SST, shall specify
the order quantity, price, delivery schedule and any special provisions or
requirements. This manufacturing agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the
terms and conditions of each Purchase Order released by Customer and accepted by
SST to the same extent as if more fully set forth therein at length, unless
otherwise agreed to in advance and in writing by the parties hereto. This
Manufacturing Agreement shall be in place of and shall supercede any standard or
pre-printed terms and conditions which may be contained on the Customers
Purchase Order form, unless otherwise agreed to in advance and in writing by the
parties hereto. If additional terms and/or conditions are specified in any bid
or proposal issued by SST in response to Customer's request for Bid/Proposal or
otherwise, each Purchase Order released by Customer (and accepted by SST) in
response to the bid or proposal shall be deemed to include those terms and/or
conditions which were contained in the SST bid or proposal to the same extent as
if more fully set forth therein at length, unless otherwise agreed to in advance
and in writing by the parties hereto.

SECTION (1) - INITIAL TERM: The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on
the date specified below, and shall terminate two years later unless this
Agreement is extended, or terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

SECTION (2) - ACCEPTANCE OF PURCHASE ORDERS: All Purchase Orders issued by
Customer to SST shall be either accepted or rejected in writing by SST. If
rejected, SST shall set forth the reasons for the rejection and shall
immediately commence discussions with Customer in an effort to resolve the
points in question and arrive at an acceptable Purchase Order. Upon SST's
acceptance of the Purchase Order, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, SST's bid or proposal, and the Customer's Purchase Order, and SST's
written acceptance of the Purchase Order, the Customer shall be firmly and
irrevocably obligated to buy from SST, and SST subject to the same terms and
conditions shall be similarly obligated to sell and deliver the products
identified on the Purchase Order.

SECTION (3) - ENGINEERING CHANGE ORDERS: Customer may request that changes be
made to the specifications identified in the original Purchase Order. All such
requests shall be by way of a written Engineering Change Order {ECO} or
reasonable facsimile thereof as may be used by Customers internal documentation
system, and are subject to written acceptance by SST. The proposed effective
date of the ECO as well as all other issues which are created by the ECO {for
example, price changes, delivery schedule changes, disposition of materials and
components already purchased by SST but made obsolete by the ECO, changes in
testing requirements, etc.} shall be jointly agreed to by SST and Customer in
writing and shall be set forth in SST's written acceptance of the ECO. As the
timing of any requested ECO is of critical importance to the Customer, SST shall
endeavor to engage in the needed conversations regarding issues created by the
requested ECO, and to issue its acceptance as soon as is reasonably practicable
after receipt of the written ECO from Customer. SST shall not be responsible for
requests for ECO's which are not in writing or which are not delivered to SST.

SECTION (4) - ACCEPTANCE AND INSPECTION: (a) The basic acceptance criteria shall
be conformance to the Purchase Order, and/or the drawings, specifications and
test criteria specified in the bid or proposal submitted by SST, and
satisfaction of SST quality standards. (b) Customer shall inspect all Products
promptly upon receipt thereof at the receiving destination and may reject any
goods, which fail to meet the acceptance criteria as set forth above. Units of
product not rejected by written notification to SST within thirty (30) days of
receipt at the receiving destination, shall be deemed to have been accepted. The
inspection period shall have no impact upon Customers obligation to pay invoices
submitted by SST, all of which are due and payable on a thirty 30 day net

                                       1
<PAGE>

basis. (c) If an entire shipment is rejected at the receiving destination
inspection, based upon AQL level criteria or other similar sampling techniques
the following procedures shall apply: (1) Customer shall provide SST with a
Rejection Notice advising SST of the rejection in writing no later than five (5)
days after rejection, but in no event later than the thirty (30) day time period
specified above. (2) SST shall have the option, to be exercised in good faith,
of performing, or requesting Customer to perform, an additional complete or
partial inspection of the rejected Products. This decision must be made by SST
not later than five (5) days after receipt by SST of Customers Rejection Notice.
Such additional inspection must be performed no later than ten (10) days after
SST communicates its decision to Customer. The cost of such additional
inspection will be borne by SST, unless such additional inspection shows that
the original rejection of the entire shipment should, in good faith, not have
been made. If said material is deemed defective with the additional inspection a
Corrective Action Request will be issued to SST and Customer reimbursed for any
and all additional inspection expenses actually incurred by Customer. SST has
(10) days to respond to the Corrective Action Request. The response to the
Corrective Action Request shall include an estimated time frame {to be agreed
upon by the parties} for the remedy of the defect. In the event of unremedied
defects, Customer shall have the option, to be exercised in good faith given the
circumstances, to terminate this agreement and any purchase order(s)/release(s)
issued pursuant to this agreement, in accordance with the termination provisions
of this agreement. (d) Customer may, at its option, elect to inspect and accept
Products at SST's location. If such an election is included in the Purchase
Order, SST will provide sufficient space for such inspection activities. Should
Customer elect to inspect at SST's location, SST will not be obligated to hold
complete products for Customer inspection beyond the scheduled delivery date
except where a Corrective Action Request has been made by Customer. (e)
Defective units detected by inspection will promptly be returned to SST, using
SST's Returned Material Authorization ("RMA") system; and will be repaired or
replaced by SST no later than thirty (30) calendar days after SST's receipt
thereof. Customer will be charged SST's standard handling charge {50% of the
"turnkey" unit price of the unit} for units determined to be in a "no fault
found" condition. SST will provide the warranty analysis and inspection data to
Customer for review and approval.

SECTION (5) - SHIPMENT: Shipments will be made in SST's standards shipping
package or special packaging as set forth in the Purchase Order. All shipments
by common carrier shall be F.O.B. SST's plant. Risk of loss to or destruction of
the goods from and after their delivery to the common carrier shall be with SST
unless expressly provided to the contrary in the Purchase Order. Any shipments
made utilizing SST's own vehicles shall be F.O.B. destination.

SECTION (6) - TAXES: Customer shall pay all applicable U.S. federal, state,
municipal and other governmental taxes, duties, and charges (such as sales, use,
customs, duty and similar charges) and all personal property taxes assessable on
the Products. Customer shall in no event be liable for taxes levied on SST based
upon its income. SST will allow Customer or its agent to minimize any taxes or
duties as allowed by law and will verify, certify or otherwise sign any
applicable documents that allows a reduction or elimination of taxes or duties.

SECTION (7) -WARRANTY, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: (a) GENERAL: SST warrants that
each unit of Product will meet Customer's specifications for assembly type and
revision and will be free from defects in workmanship, under normal use and
prescribed maintenance, for a period of 12 months and defects in SST supplied
components and/or material for a period of 90 days. This warranty does not
extend to Customer supplied components and or material (CFM). This warranty
shall not apply to any goods delivered pursuant to this agreement which have
been damaged, or subjected to any post-manufacture alterations or modifications
made by any party other than SST, or which have been subject to negligent
treatment after delivery or to any defects which are due to drawings or
deviations furnished by Customer. Upon the failure of any unit of Product to
comply with the above warranty, SST shall, at its option, promptly repair or
replace such unit. Should the cause of the failure or defect be mutually
determined to be design related and unrepairable, Customer will promptly pay SST
the full selling price of the assembly. The cost of any repairs made by SST to
any unit of Product no longer covered by this warranty shall be borne by
Customer, however in no event shall any said cost of repairs to Customer exceed
50% of the original unit cost. Customer acknowledges that SST has not been
informed or notified of the intended use of the Product and that SST has not
consulted or conferred with Customer as to the suitability or fitness of the
design or specifications to the intended use of the Product.

      THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EITHER
      EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
      MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall SST be liable for indirect,
incidental or consequential damages, and in no event shall

                                       2

otherwise) exceed the actual amount paid by Customer to SST for Products

each of them as a Defendant or other party, and which arise from or are in any
way connected or related to the third party's use, ownership, possession or
control of, or in any other way related to the Product sold to Customer pursuant
to this agreement.

"Terminating Party"), may, by ten (10) days prior written notice to the other
party (the "Other Party"), terminate this Agreement and all or any of the
privileges, permissions and rights granted hereunder or in connection herewith
in whole or in part, in the event (1) the other party defaults in any payment to
the terminating party called for in this Agreement, the Purchase Order, the bid
or proposal, and such default continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15)
days after the date of delivery of a written notice thereof by the terminating
party to the other party, or (2) if the other party defaults in the performance
by it of any other material term or condition of this Agreement, or of any
Purchase Order issued pursuant to this Agreement, and such default continues
unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of
written notice thereof by the terminating party to the other party. (b)
BANKRUPTCY: Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement if the other
party is adjudicated bankrupt, or if a receiver is appointed for the other party
or for a substantial portion of its assets, or if an assignment for the benefit
of creditors is made or if the other party is dissolved or liquidated or has a
petition for dissolution or liquidation filed which is not dismissed within
forty-five (45) calendar days with respect to it. (c) OBLIGATIONS UPON
TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION: Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement
as set forth above, SST will complete units or Product as scheduled at the date
of termination; provided, however, that if Customer requests on the basis of a
lack of requirement by Customer for such units, SST will negotiate in good faith
to agree with Customer on a price for the partially completed units and any
inventory of components and/or materials purchased by SST pursuant to the
Purchase order, net of any amounts paid by or on behalf of Customer to SST's
supplier. SST will make reasonable attempts to restock, resell or otherwise
utilize the inventory of common components and/or material (i.e., that which is
not specific to Products manufactured for Customer hereunder) and to otherwise
promptly and in good faith attempt to mitigate Customer's liability hereunder.
Where mitigation is not feasible or to the extent that SST is unsuccessful in
such attempts, such common components and/or material may be sent to Customer,
and SST may bill Customer therefore (and if so billed, Customer will pay) at
110% of SST's documented cost therefor. Once Customer pays the charge of 110% of
SST's documented cost therefor, Customer may elect to not accept delivery of the
material by providing SST with a written indication that it will not accept such
delivery prior to SST's shipment thereof. All other inventory of components
and/or materials either in stock or on an order which is not cancelable by SST
without penalty, as determined by SST purchase documentation therefore, also may
be delivered to Customer as it is received by SST and SST may bill Customer
therefore (and if so billed, Customer will pay) at 110% of SST's documented cost
therefore.

SECTION (10) - MISCELLANEOUS: (a) RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES: The parties'
relationship during the term of this Agreement and under Purchase Orders placed
pursuant hereto will be that of independent contractors. Neither party has, and
will not represent that it has, any power, right or authority to bind or to
incur any charges or expenses on behalf of the other party or in the other
party's name without the prior written consent of the other party. (b) FORCE
MAJEURE: Neither party hereto will be liable for any failure to perform any
obligation under this Agreement, or for delay in such performance, to the extent
such failure to perform or delay is caused by circumstances beyond its
reasonable control or which makes such performance commercially impractical,
including without limitation fire, storm, flood, earthquake, explosion,
accident, war, acts of public enemy or rebellion, disputes, labor shortages,
transportation embargoes, delays in transportation, shortages of material fuel
or power, acts of God, acts of any government or any agency thereof, and
judicial action. {The language "acts of any government or agency thereof and
judicial action" contained in the preceding sentence is not intended to include
actions by the gaming commissions which regulate the Customers business, and SST
agrees to assist and use its best efforts to cooperate with Customer in
Customers efforts to comply with the gaming regulations and gaming regulating
agencies which have jurisdiction over Customers gaming product industry.} Any
suspension of performance by reason of this Section will be limited to the
period during which the cause of suspension exits. Any delay or non-performance
to be excused pursuant to this paragraph must be communicated to the other party
as soon as is practicable after the circumstances causing the delay or
non-performance are known to the delaying or non-performing party. (c)
SEVERABILITY: If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found by any Court
of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partially unenforceable to any extent,
then such provisions will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement will be unaffected thereby and will
remain in full force and effect. (d) WHOLE AGREEMENT/MODIFICATION: This
Agreement, including all documents to be delivered by the parties hereto and
described herein, represents the entire understanding of the parties hereto with

parties hereto. (e) ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties, but neither party may
assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement, voluntarily or
involuntarily, without the prior written consent of the other party, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempts by either party to
assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement without such
consent will be void and of no effect. (f) WAIVER: No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement shall be effective except by written agreement signed by both
parties. The failure by any party at any time to require performance of the
other party of any provision of this Agreement will in no way affect the right
of such party thereafter to enforce the same provision, nor will the waiver by
any party of any breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach, or as a waiver of the provision itself. (g)
GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION: This Agreement and any Purchase Orders issued
pursuant hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Nevada without reference to such state's laws regarding choice
of law. (h) NOTICES AND CONSENTS: All notices and other communications required
or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing, and will be deemed given

the arbitrator shall be final and binding and may be entered in any Court of
competent jurisdiction. (j) HEADINGS AND REFERENCES: The headings and caption
used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be
considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. (k) RELEASE OF
INFORMATION: SST shall not make or authorize any news release, advertisement or
other disclosure which shall confirm or deny the existence of this agreement or
any Purchase Orders issued pursuant hereto, without prior written consent of
Customer, except as may be required to perform under this agreement or any
Purchase Order issued pursuant hereto, or except as a result of an Order of a

                                       4
<PAGE>

subpoena issued by any Governmental Official or Agency. (l) CUSTOMER SUPPLIED
MATERIALS: If the parties hereto have agreed that the products to be
manufactured by SST for Customer include components or materials to be supplied
by Customer: (a) Customer shall deliver to SST's Palmdale Manufacturing
Facility, the components/materials needed, in sufficient quantity {including
provision for failed components/materials} to allow for the manufacture the
products identified in firm Purchase Orders issued by Customer and accepted by
SST, not later than five (5) weeks prior to the scheduled delivery date. (b) SST
shall not be responsible for the quality or inspection of any
components/materials furnished by Customer to SST. (c) If Customer is unable to
meet the delivery requirements of the components/materials, Customer shall
notify SST of this in writing prior to the date Customer was to have delivered
the components/materials to SST, and may request SST: to ship the products
without the components/materials; or to hold the products pending receipt of the
Customer supplied components/materials {in which event SST shall invoice
Customer for the product(s) on the originally scheduled delivery date}. In the
event, because of a delay in the delivery of Customer supplied
components/materials, SST is asked to manufacture the products with the intent
to have SST add the Customer supplied components/materials at a later date, a
special lot handling charge will be invoiced to Customer. (m) PAYMENT: Terms of
payment are net 30 days on each shipment. Notwithstanding any specified payment
terms, SST may require payment in advance before making any shipment if the
Customer's credit shall at any time, in the sole judgement of SST become
impaired. The total contract price shall become immediately due and payable, and
SST may cancel any unperformed portion of the contract upon Customer's failure
to make any payment when due. In the event SST elects to cancel as specified in
the preceding sentence, any increase in SST's per unit cost of the goods already
delivered or then enroute to Customer shall be payable by Customer. (n)
COMPONENT PRICING: If the cost for components/materials required by customer
increases as a result of either: (a) price fluctuations caused by market
conditions, or; (b) a discontinuance of the component/material by its
manufacturer, or the vendor approved by the customer, coupled with an increased
price for the replacement component/material, then in either event, SST shall
invoice customer for the increased price with prior approval from Customer. SST
in good faith will provide Customer with reasonable notice of price changes,
obsolescence, or availability of product wherever possible. SST shall source
comparable materials with the final approval of Customer on any new pricing,
configurations, delivery dates and quality. All such increases as invoiced by
SST and approved prior by Customer shall be binding upon customer to the same
extent as if originally included in the SST quote documents and/or the customers
Purchase Order. (o) Non-Competition: During the term of this agreement and for a
period of six (6) months thereafter, as consideration for the terms contained
herein, SST will not manufacture, sell, distribute any Electronic Video Bingo
products which compete directly or indirectly in any way with the Customers
Electronic Video Bingo Products.

SECTION 11 - LICENSING REQUIREMENTS: Customer has made SST aware that its
industry is regulated by the Gaming {or like} Commission(s) of the various
jurisdictions in which it sells its products. Currently in some of the
jurisdictions in which Customer sells its products, and potentially in other
jurisdictions in which Customer sells its products or intends to sell its
products, the regulation of Customers business includes the regulation of the
work which SST shall undertake pursuant to this agreement.

      (a) As a result of the foregoing, and as stated herein in Section (10) (b)
"SST agrees to assist and use its best efforts to cooperate with Customer in
Customers efforts to comply with the gaming regulations and gaming regulating
agencies which have jurisdiction over Customers gaming product industry."
Additionally, SST agrees to use its best efforts to submit, where required,
applications to Gaming Regulating Agencies in an effort to obtain a license to
manufacture the products anticipated by this agreement. As a result of this
commitment by SST, Customer shall, upon signing this agreement, submit the
Purchase Orders and Releases set forth on the annexed Exhibit "A".
      (b) In the event SST completes and submits applications for a license
where required, and is permitted {pursuant to the regulations of that particular
jurisdiction} to manufacture the products anticipated by this agreement while
the license application is pending {or if by virtue of the regulations of the
particular jurisdiction SST can not actually manufacture products until such
time as a license actually issues, SST is successful in its attempts to obtain
the license required by the regulating agency of the particular jurisdiction}
then SST shall be in compliance with the requirements of this provision of this
agreement, and shall produce the products anticipated by this agreement as
identified on the attached Exhibit "A" or identified in other additional
Purchase Orders. During the term of this agreement, while in compliance with the
applicable gaming regulations of the jurisdictions in which Customer sells its
products, SST shall be the primary contract manufacturer of all product(s)
anticipated by this agreement which are required by Customer.
         (c) In the event SST shall be unsuccessful in obtaining a required
license in a particular jurisdiction, or subsequently {during the term of this
agreement} looses its license in a particular jurisdiction, or is faced with

                                       5
<PAGE>

official action that otherwise would impair the ability of SST to manufacture
the product anticipated by this agreement, the following shall occur:

            (1) SST and Customer shall jointly use their best efforts to appeal,
contest or otherwise challenge, administratively, the denial or revocation of
the license or its application or any other official action which attempts to
impair the ability of SST to manufacture the products anticipated by this
agreement for a particular jurisdiction. In which event, SST shall continue to
manufacture or not manufacture product for use in that particular jurisdiction
as the regulations of that particular jurisdiction allow. If SST is officially
not allowed to manufacture during the pendency of the administrative appeal, and
Customer has a need for product in that jurisdiction, then Customer shall be
free to approach other licensed contract manufacturers for the purpose of
obtaining product from them for the time period SST is not allowed to
manufacture the products to fill that need, and only for the product needed
during the pendency of the administrative appeal and while SST is officially so
prohibited from manufacturing the required product.

            (2) SST may, if it desires, seek to obtain a Judicial stay of
the denial or revocation of an application or license or other official action
seeking to impair the ability of SST to manufacture the products anticipated by
this agreement. In that event, this agreement, and the ability of SST to
manufacture product for use by customer in that jurisdiction shall be enforced
to the extent allowed by the judicial stay.

            (3) A final determination denying or revoking SST's
application or license or affirming other official action impairing the ability
of SST to manufacture the products anticipated by this agreement in one
jurisdiction, shall not impact the ability of SST to manufacture the products
anticipated by this agreement for use in the other jurisdictions in which
Customer sells its products.1

            (4) In the event of a final determination by a particular
jurisdiction denying or revoking SST's application or license or affirming other
official action impairing the ability of SST to manufacture the products
anticipated by this agreement, Customer shall be free to approach other licensed
contract manufacturers for the purpose of obtaining the product it requires in
that jurisdiction.

            (5) In the event SST can not manufacture 50% or more of the
total national/international amount of the product(s) anticipated by this
agreement and required by Customer, due to official denials or revocations of
licenses or applications or other official action impairing the ability of SST
to so manufacture, then Customer shall have the option, to be exercised in good
faith given the circumstances, to terminate this agreement and any Purchase
Orders/Releases issued pursuant to this agreement, in accordance with the
termination provisions of this agreement.

            (6) In the event Customer is officially informed that criminal
charges will be brought against Customer as a result of SST's actions/inactions,
or in the event criminal charges are officially brought against Customer as a
reult of SST's actions/inactions, which charges or the threat thereof can not
be stayed or otherwise avoided, then in that event Customer shall have the
option to terminate this agreement and any purchase orders/releases issued
pursuant to this agreement, in accordance with the termination provisions of
this agreement.

1 It is noted by the parties hereto, that on a prior occasion, the gaming
commission of one jurisdiction ordered Customer not to allow their then contract
manufacturer to manufacture any product for Customer for use either inside or
outside that particular jurisdiction. In the event a similar order was issued to
Customer or SST during the term of this agreement, which order pertains to SST,
it is agreed to by the parties hereto that the provisions of subparagraphs (1)
and (2) of paragraph (c) of this Section 11 will apply in determining whether
SST shall be able to continue to manufacture product for Customer in the
jurisdictions outside the "ordering" jurisdiction.

EXHIBIT "A"

      Upon the execution of the agreement to which this Exhibit is annexed and
made a part of, Customer shall issue, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
Purchase Orders and Releases whereby Customer orders a approximately 6000
"units" {as hereafter defined} during the first six months of the term of this
agreement and a minimum of 18,000 "units" during the next and remaining eighteen
months of the term of this agreement from SST, for manufacture and delivery to
Customer during the term of this agreement as follows:

      "Units" as used in this Exhibit is defined as being either the "TED" unit
or the GTI Hand Held unit or any other form of Electronic Bingo unit designed by
Customer. However, the definition of "units" shall not include the "Charging
Crates" such that while any Purchase Order(s) for Charging Crates will be
governed by the terms and conditions embodied in this Agreement, the quantity of
Charging Crates ordered by Customer and manufactured and delivered by SST shall
not be included in the number of units needed to establish the minimum unit
commitment of Customer. In order to achieve the minimum "unit" order and
purchase requirement set forth in the preceding and the next paragraphs, any
combination of product {other than Charging Crates} can be used. The Purchase
Order(s) shall set forth the quantity of each product by part number.

      Customer shall issue a firm release covering the first six months of the
term of this Agreement and requiring the manufacture of approximately 1000 units
per month during the first six months of the term of this agreement and in an
amount of not less than 1000 per month during the following and final eighteen
months of the term of this agreement. Thereafter {and commencing in the second
month of the term of this agreement} Customer shall establish a 4-month rolling
forecast, based upon its best projection. The 4-month rolling forecast shall set
forth the unit requirements for the coming four months. At the conclusion of
every month, Customer shall issue a firm release for the fourth month, based
upon the 4-month rolling forecast. The intention of this paragraph is that
Customer shall endeavor to ensure that SST always has releases covering the
coming 4-month period. While SST understands that the Customer's need for units
may vary from month to month, the intention is that at the conclusion of the
term of this agreement, Purchase Orders and releases will have been issued
whereby SST has manufactured and delivered to Customer at least the minimum
number of units referred to above.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
through the signatures of their duly authorized representatives as set forth
