2007 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
AS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON MAY 29, 2007
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
("Plan") is to
further the interests of Strategic Gaming Investments, Inc.
("Company") by
providing selected employees, directors, independent contractors
and advisors,
upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the Company is
largely dependent for
the successful conduct of its business, the opportunity to
participate in a
stock option and incentive plan designed to reward them for
their services and
to encourage them to continue in the employ or service of the
Company. This
Plan provides for both the direct award and sale of Shares and
for the grant of
Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under this Plan may
include
Nonstatutory Options as well as Incentive Options intended to
qualify under
