A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be personally

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNITY
---------
Every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a
party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a
person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer
of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a
partnership, joint venture trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and
held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the
State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such
right of indemnification shall be a contract right which may be enforced in any
manner desired by such person. The expenses of directors and officers incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
Corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Corporation. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other
right which such directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter
acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be
entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as
their rights under this Article.

<PAGE>
Without limiting the application of the foregoing, the Board of
Directors may adopt Bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to
provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted under the laws of the
State of Nevada, and may cause the Corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of
such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person. The indemnification provided in this Article shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, agent, and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
ARTICLE IX
GAMING REGULATORY MATTERS
-------------------------
If the Nevada Gaming Commission or the governing gaming regulatory
agency of a jurisdiction in which the Corporation holds a privileged license
(collectively "Gaming Regulatory Authorities") at any time determines that a
holder of stock or other security of this Corporation is unsuitable to hold such
stock or other security, then, until such stock or security is no longer owned
by such person, (a) the Corporation shall not be required or permitted to pay
any dividend or interest with respect to the stock or security, (b) the holder
of such stock or security shall not be entitled to vote on any matter as the
holder of such stock or security, and such stock or security shall not, for any
purpose whatsoever, be included in the stock or security of the Corporation
entitled to vote, and (c) the Corporation shall not pay any remuneration in any
form to the holder of such stock or security.
If the Gaming Regulatory Authorities determine that a holder of stock
or other security of this Corporation is unsuitable, such holder shall, upon
written demand of the Corporation, relinquish ownership of such stock or
security and, if the Corporation determines it to be necessary, the Corporation
may purchase such stock or security for cash at fair market value to be
determined at the sole discretion of the Corporation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands this 1ST day of May,
2000, hereby declaring and certifying that the facts stated hereinabove are
