Gentlemen:

     We have acted as Wyoming counsel for Advanced Gaming
Technology, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the "Corporation") in
connection with the registration statement on Form S-8 of the
Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Registration Statement"), pertaining to the registration of
(i) 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation (the
"Neuhaus Shares") for issuance and sale pursuant to the
Corporation's Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement by and between
the Corporation and Mark Neuhaus (the "Neuhaus Agreement") and
(ii) 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation (the
"Kessler Shares") for issuance and sale pursuant to the
Corporation's Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement by and between
the Corporation and Paul Kessler(the "Kessler Shares").

     In connection with this opinion, we have considered such
questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the
opinions set forth below, and we have examined or otherwise are
familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of the following: (i) the
Registration Statement; (ii) the Articles of Incorporation and By-
laws of the Corporation, as amended and as currently in effect;
(iii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation relating to the adoption of the Kessler Agreement and
the Neuhaus Agreement and the issuance of the Kessler Shares and
Neuhaus Shares and the other transactions contemplated by the
Registration Statement; (iv) the Kessler Agreement and the
Neuhaus Agreement; and (v) such other documents as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth
below.  In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us

as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as

certified or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies.  As to any facts material to this
opinion that we did not independently establish or verify, we
have relied upon statements and representations of officers and
other representatives of the Corporation and others.

     Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the other
limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the
opinion that the Kessler Shares and Neuhaus Shares have been duly
authorized for issuance and that when sold, issued, paid for and
delivered as contemplated by the Kessler Agreement and the
Neuhaus Agreement referred to in the Registration Statement, the
Kessler Shares and Neuhaus Shares will be validly issued and will
be fully paid and nonassessable.

     The foregoing opinion is subject to the qualifications that:

     (a)  legality, validity or enforcement may be limited by
          applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
          moratorium or other similar laws relating to or
          affecting the rights of creditors generally;
     
     (b)  general principles of equity, including principles of
          commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing,
          regardless of whether enforcement is considered in
          proceedings at law or in equity;
     
     (c)  our opinion is limited to matters governed by the laws
          of Wyoming and no opinion is expressed herein as to any
          matter governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction;
     
     (d)  the opinions expressed herein are strictly limited to
          the matters stated herein and no other opinions may be
          implied beyond the matters expressly so stated.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
Commission as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement.  In giving
this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and
Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

               Very truly yours,

               /s/ HIRST & APPLEGATE
