                                     GENERAL



1. General Information. Furnish the following as to the applicant:

      (a) Form of organization: A corporation

      (b) State or other sovereign power under the laws of which organized: New
   Jersey



2. Securities Act exemption  applicable.  State briefly the facts relied upon by
the  applicant  as a basis  for the claim  that  registration  of the  indenture
securities under the Securities Act of 1933 is not required.



   On December 23, 1996,  Capital  Gaming  International,  Inc. (the  "Debtor"),
   filed its Plan of  Reorganization,  dated December 22, 1996,  with the United
   States  Bankruptcy  Court for the  District  of New Jersey  (the  "Bankruptcy
   Court").  On February 6, 1997,  the Debtor  filed its First  Amended  Plan of
   Reorganization  (the "Plan").  At a hearing  before the  Bankruptcy  Court on
   February 6, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court,  pursuant to section 1125 of title 11
   of the United States Code (the  "Bankruptcy  Code"),  approved the Disclosure
   Statement for the Plan (the  "Disclosure  Statement") as containing  adequate
   information. By order of the Bankruptcy Court dated March 31, 1997, the Plan,
   as further  modified,  was  confirmed,  as of March 19,  1997.  A copy of the
   Disclosure  Statement is attached as Exhibit T3E.1 to this Form T-3. The Plan
   is hereby  incorporated by reference to exhibit 2.1 of the  Applicant's  Form
   8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 1997.



   The 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2001 (the "Securities") of the Company,  the
   securities   to  be  issued  under  the   indenture  to  be  qualified   (the
   "Indenture"), are offered and intended to be exchanged, pursuant to the Plan,
   for claims  against the Debtors  classified  in Class 2, Class 4, and certain
   key officers of the Debtor under the Plan.  Under the terms of the Plan,  the
   Securities will be distributed if certain conditions  precedent are satisfied
   or waived as set forth in the Plan.



   Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer or sale of securities
   under a plan of reorganization from registration under the Securities Act of
   1933 and state law. Under section 1145, the issuance of securities is exempt
   from registration if three principal requirements are satisfied: (1) the
   securities are issued by a debtor, its successor, or an affiliate
   participating in a joint plan




<PAGE>

   with the debtor, under a plan of reorganization; (2) the recipients of the
   securities hold a claim against the debtor or such affiliate, an interest in
   the debtor or such affiliate, or a claim for an administrative expense
   against the debtor or such affiliate; and (3) the securities are issued
   entirely in exchange for the recipient's claim against or interest in the
   debtor or such affiliate, or "principally" in such exchange and "partly" for
   cash or property. The Debtors believe that the issuance of the Securities to
   holders of Allowed Noteholder Secured Claims in Class 2 under the Plan will
   satisfy all three conditions because: (a) the issuances are expressly
   contemplated under the Plan; (b) the recipients are holders of "Claims"
   against in the Debtors; and (c) the recipients would obtain the Securities in
   exchange for their prepetition claims.

         shall have been entered, and such decree, judgment, or order shall have
         remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days;

                  (6) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall institute
         proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to
         the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a

         otherwise, any of the foregoing;

                  (7) a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest
         when due which extends beyond any stated period of grace applicable
         thereto or an acceleration for any other reason of maturity of any
         Indebtedness (excluding Indebtedness described in clause (iii) of the
         second proviso to the definition of Indebtedness) of the Company or any
         Subsidiary of the Company with an aggregate principal amount in excess
         of $500,000;

                  (8) final unsatisfied judgments not covered by insurance
         aggregating in excess of $500,000, at any one time rendered against the

                  (9) an event of default specified in the Mortgage; or

<PAGE>


         to any material amount of Collateral, a valid and perfected first
         priority Lien on the Collateral to be covered thereby (unless a prior
         or exclusive Lien is specifically permitted by the Indenture).

         If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee must, within 90 days
after the occurrence of such default, give to the Holders notice of such
default.



     (b) Authentication and Delivery; Application of Proceeds.
         -----------------------------------------------------

         A Security will not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security, but
such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated pursuant to the term of the Indenture.

         The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue in the
aggregate principal amount of up to $23,100,000 upon a written order of the
Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate. The Officers' Certificate shall
specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the
Securities are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Securities
(other than in respect of the Amended Original Guaranty) outstanding at any time
may not exceed $23,100,000, except as provided in Section 2.7. Upon the written
order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities in substitution of Securities originally issued to
reflect any name change of the Company.

         Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $100 and any integral multiple thereof or such smaller
denominations as are required to comply with the Plan.

         The Securities will be issued in exchange for claims and interests as
provided in the Plan, and accordingly, the issuance of the Securities will not
result in proceeds to the Company.



         (c) Release and Substitution of Property Subject to the Lien of the
             Indenture.
         -------------------------------------------------------------------

         Subject to applicable law, the release of any Collateral from Liens
created by the Mortgage or the release of, in whole or in part, the Liens
created by the Mortgage, will not be deemed to impair the Mortgage in
contravention of the provisions of the Indenture if and to the extent the
Collateral or Liens are released pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
applicable agreement creating the Mortgage and pursuant to, and in accordance
with, the terms hereof. To the extent applicable, without limitation, the
Company and each obligor on the Securities shall cause Trust Indenture Act 
s314(d) relating to the release of Property or securities from the Liens of the

<PAGE>


Mortgage to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA ss.
314(d) may be made by one officer prior to the qualification of the Indenture
under the TIA and by two officers after such qualification, except in cases
which Trust Indenture Act ss. 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion
be made by an independent person.

         Upon written request of the Company, subject to applicable law, and
presentation to the Collateral Agent of an Officers' Certificate evidencing
compliance with Section 5.14, the Collateral Agent shall release funds (and the
Trustee's Lien with respect thereto) in accordance with the terms of the Cash
Collateral and Disbursement Agreement; provided, that the Lien on the funds so
released shall immediately attach in like manner to the assets and property
purchased by the Company with such funds (except to the extent such funds are
applied to the repayment of Securities in compliance with the requirements of
the Indenture) to the extent required by the Indenture.



         (d) Satisfaction and Discharge
             --------------------------

         The Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness on the Securities and the provisions of the Indenture shall cease
to be of further effect (subject to the survival of certain provisions of the
Indenture), if:

                  (1) The Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the
         Trustee, pursuant to an irrevocable trust and security agreement in
         form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) U.S.
         Legal Tender, (ii) U.S. Government Obligations, or (iii) a combination
         thereof, in an amount after payment of all Federal, state and local
         taxes or other charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the
         Trustee, which through the payment of principal and interest will
         provide, not later than one Business Day before the due date of payment
         in respect of the Securities, U.S. Legal Tender in an amount which, in
         the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
         public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof (in
         form and

<PAGE>


                  substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) delivered to
         the Trustee,  is sufficient to pay the principal of,  premium,  if any,
         and each installment of principal and interest on the Securities (other
         than in respect of the Amended  Original  Guaranty) then outstanding on
         the dates on which any such  payments are due and payable in accordance
         with the terms of the Indenture and of the Securities;

                  (2) Such deposits shall not cause the Trustee to have a
         conflicting interest as defined in and for purposes of the TIA;

                  (3) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be
         continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur on or before the
         91st day (or one day after such other 



<PAGE>

         greater period of time in which any such deposit of trust funds may
         remain subject to bankruptcy or insolvency laws) after the date of such
         deposit, and such deposit will not result in a Default or Event of
         Default under the Indenture or a breach or violation of, or constitute
         a default under, any other instrument to which the Company, any
         Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor is a party
         or by which it or its Property is bound;

                  (4) The deposit, defeasance and discharge will not be deemed,
         or result in, a Federal income taxable event to the Holders of such
         Securities and the Holders will be subject to Federal income tax only
         in the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as
         would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not
         occurred;

                  (5) The deposit shall not result in the Company, the Trustee
         or the trust becoming an "investment company" under the Investment
         Company Act of 1940;

                  (6) After the passage of 91 days (or any greater period of
         time in which any such deposit of trust funds may remain subject to any
         Bankruptcy Laws insofar as those laws apply to the Company) following
         the deposit of the trust funds, such funds will not be subject to any
         Bankruptcy Laws affecting creditors' rights generally;

                  (7) Holders of such Securities will have a valid, perfected
         and unavoidable first-priority security interest in the trust funds;
         and

                  (8) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (who may be outside counsel to
         the Company, but not in-house counsel to the Company or any of its
         Subsidiaries), each in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
         stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the
         defeasance contemplated by Section 9.1 have been complied with.

         In the event all or any portion of such Securities are to be redeemed
through such irrevocable trust, the Company must make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice of
such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company.



         (e) Evidence of Compliance
             ----------------------

         The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 90 days after the end
of its fiscal year an Officers' Certificate complying (whether or not required)
with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA and stating that a review of its activities
and the activities of its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been
made under the supervision of the signing Officers with




<PAGE>

a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled its obligations under the Indenture and further stating, as to each
such Officer signing such certificate, whether or not the signer knows of any
failure of the Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company or any
Guarantor to comply with any conditions or covenants in the Indenture and, if
such signer does know of such a failure to comply, the certificate shall
describe such failure with particularity. The Officers' Certificate shall also
notify the Trustee should the relevant fiscal year end on any date other than
the current fiscal year end date.
