WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, IGT and LVGI entered
into that certain License and Application Support Agreement, dated September 30,
2008 (the "Original Agreement"
and, as amended herein, the "Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, IGT and LVGI desire
to amend the Original Agreement as
provided herein; and
WHEREAS, IGT has agreed to
extend the due date of its advance to LVGI pursuant to that certain IGT-LVGI
Binding Term Sheet dated on or about February 13, 2009, which extension is
evidenced by that certain Secured Promissory Note executed on the date hereof
(the "Secured Promissory
Note"), and is also consideration of IGT under this First
Addendum.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of IGT's additional funding and of the premises and the mutual
promises and covenants contained herein, the Parties agree as
follows:

All capitalized
terms used in this First Addendum that are not defined herein will have the
meaning ascribed thereto in the Original Agreement.

system and lighted bezels, the EGM, or both.

activities and programs provided by the casino operator which the casino chooses
to communicate to the player.
"IGT SPC Protocol" means IGT's

grants to LVGI a qualified, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-assignable,
non-sub-licensable, world-wide license to implement and use the IGT SPC Protocol
in order to interface with the IGT Advantage® card reader
assembly. Any other installation or use of the IGT SPC Protocol that does not

beginning on the Effective Date, provide, supply, facilitate, sell, market,
support, engineer, lease, or place any Secondary Display in any location or

Section 2.4 to include any Advantage® or Casinolink® system. LVGI further agrees

any basis, including, without limitation, that it is unduly burdensome or
restrictive in duration, scope, or geography. IGT agrees to consider, on a
property by property basis and in its sole discretion, exception(s) to the
prohibitions of this Section 2.4. IGT will promptly respond to any request for
such exception(s) by LVGI, and, if in its sole discretion, IGT agrees to such
exception(s), such exception(s) shall only become effective when expressly
agreed to in a written amendment or addendum to this Agreement.
