of the Loan Agreement arising from those matters disclosed by Borrower to

This waiver is, as to the matters set forth in paragraph 2 above,
limited to Borrower's obligation to comply with Sections 6 through 10 of the

right or remedy of Value Partners, Ltd., including that those items set forth

pursuant to the terms of this waiver.

proceeds of the New Issue (other than sums advanced pursuant to the terms
hereof). Borrower and Lender agree that in addition to the rights granted in
Section 4, at the election of Value Partners a new note shall be executed as
to sums advanced pursuant to this Lender's Waiver and Option Agreement and,
to the extent and at such time as is permissible under the provisions of that
certain Indenture issued in association with the $4.8 million Secured
Convertible Senior Bonds Due 1999, (the "Indenture"), such advance shall be
secured by all assets acquired with such advance, including an assignment of
all sums earned pursuant to that certain Management Agreement by and between
Jockey Club Casinos LLC and Trans World Gaming Corp., dated January 30, 1998,
as amended by that certain letter dated February 24, 1998. Such grant of a
security interest shall not occur until such time as the

Borrower amends that certain Financing Statement dated January 28, 1998,
executed in association with the Indenture, to clarify the scope of the
security interest granted U.S. Trust Company, N.A. as Indenture Trustee for
the Indenture. The Borrower shall use its best efforts to amend this
Financing Statement promptly, provided that counsel for the Investors renders
a letter concurring that such amendment is consistent with the intent of the
parties as of the date of such Indenture. Such new Note shall be payable in
twelve monthly installments commencing May 1, 1998 of principal and interest
and bear interest at the same rate as the Loan Agreement. To the extent that
a second advance is requested to develop the Bishkek's "slot Room", Lender
shall have the right, at its election, to make such advance pursuant to the
Loan Agreement, as modified herein, provided that such advance, or the right
to make such advance, does not conflict with covenants of other loan
agreements of the Borrower. The warrants issued pursuant to such advance
shall, at Value Partners' option, be on the same terms (including strike
price and number of shares) as those issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement or
those issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement dated March 17, 1998 in
association with the New Issue.

above are correct.
