Dear Bob:

RE:         COMPENSATION 1996/1997

Further to our recent meeting, in reference to your compensation for the period
29 February 1996 to 30 April 1997.

This will confirm, that during this period total compensation earned by you was
US $75,000.00 (US $60,000.00 per annum) and was payable in cash, or common
stock, based on the ten (10) trading days average prior to the date compensation
shares became due and owing. You were paid $45,000.00 in cash, with the balance
by the issuance of 83,014 common shares. At the time you were issued common
stock as compensation, the stock value ranged in price from a low of $0.545, to
a high of $1.296 per share. Comparing the value of the stock today compared to
the time of issuance, there is a shortfall in compensation earned in the amount
of $17,548.00.

It has been approved by the Board of Directors that you be compensated for the
shortfall of US $17,548.00 by the issuance of 140,384 common shares (US
$17,548.00/US $0.125 the closing price of the stock on February 6, 1998). Upon
issuance of these shares, compensation earned during 1996 / 1997 has been paid
in full, and Advanced Gaming Technology, Inc. has no further obligation to you
with respect to this matter.
