$US 500,000                                      Executed at:  Las Vegas, Nevada
                                                                   July __, 2001


VIVA GAMING & RESORTS  INC.,  a Florida  corporation,  the  principal  office of
which is located at 3611 South Lindell Road, Suite 108, Las Vegas,  Nevada 89103
(the "COMPANY" or "MAKER"), for value received hereby promises to pay to PHOENIX
LEISURE,  INC., a Nevada  corporation  (the "HOLDER"),  the principal  office of
which is located at 3611 S. Lindell Rd., Suite 108, Las Vegas, NV 89103, the sum
of FIVE HUNDRED  THOUSAND  DOLLARS AND 00/100 CENTS  ($US500,000) or such lesser
amount  (the  "NOTE")  as shall  be due at the  Maturity  Date  (as  hereinafter
defined) equal the outstanding  principal amount hereof,  together with interest
thereon  at the rate  specified  below,  on the terms and  conditions  set forth
hereinafter.

            The  following  is a  statement  of the rights of the Holder and the
conditions  to which  this  Note is  subject,  and to which the  Holder,  by the
acceptance of this Note, agrees:

1.    PAYMENTS OF  PRINCIPAL  AND  INTEREST.  Except as  provided  herein and in
      Section 4 hereof,  all payments  (principal and interest)  under this Note
      shall be by check,  cashier's  check,  wire transfer or other  immediately
      available  funds  payable in United  States  Dollars  and shall be due and
      payable in one lump sum  payment  twelve  (12) months from the date hereof
      (the "MATURITY  DATE").  Interest shall accrue upon all  outstanding  sums
      evidenced  hereby at the rate per  annum of ten  percent  (10%).  Interest
      shall be calculated on a 365-day year end, actual days elapsed.

2.    EVENT OF  DEFAULT.  An "event of default"  shall mean:  (i) failure by the
      Company to pay the Note at the  Maturity  Date,  or (ii) any breach of any
      other  obligation,  undertaking  or  covenant  under this  Note.  Upon the
      occurrence of an Event of Default,  the Holder of the Note may declare the
      entire principal immediately due and payable,  without notice or demand to
      the Company.  At any time or times during which an Event of Default  shall
      then exist or upon the Maturity  Date,  the interest  rate under this Note
      shall be equal to the lesser of: (i) eighteen  percent (18%) per annum; or
      (ii) the maximum rate of interest  permitted by applicable  law, and shall
      be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

3.    PREPAYMENT. The Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part by giving
      Holder notice in writing.  In  recognition of Holder's  conversion  rights
      pursuant  to  Section 4 hereof,  Holder  has the  right to  exercise  such
      conversion rights prior to the Company prepaying the Note.







4.    CONVERSION.

4.1.  VOLUNTARY  CONVERSION.  The  Holder  of this  Note has the  right,  at the
      Holder's  option,  at any time prior to  payment in full of the  principal
      balance of this Note,  to convert  the  outstanding  principal  under this
      Note, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof, in whole or
      in part,  but in  denominations  of not less  than  Ten  Thousand  Dollars
      ($10,000)  (unless  the  entire  principal  balance  of this Note is being
      converted),  into fully paid and  non-assessable  shares of common  stock,
      $.001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). The number
      of shares of Common  Stock into which the  outstanding  principal  of this
      Note  may be  converted  ("Conversion  Shares")  shall  be  determined  by
      dividing the  principal  amount for which  conversion  is requested by the
      Conversion  Price  (as  defined  below)  in  effect  at the  time  of such
      conversion.  The Conversion  Price shall be equal to ONE DOLLAR  ($US1.00)
      per share. If applicable,  the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant
      the provisions of Section 5 hereof.

4.2.  CONVERSION PROCEDURE.  Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this
      Note into shares of Common  Stock,  it shall give written  notice by mail,
      postage prepaid,  to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the
      election to convert the same, and shall state therein the name or names in
      which the  certificate  for shares of Common  Stock are to be issued.  The
      Company  shall,  as soon as practicable  thereafter,  issue and deliver at
      such  office  to the  Holder of this Note a  certificate  or  certificates
      (bearing  such  legends as are  required by  applicable  state and federal
      securities  laws in the opinion of counsel to the  Company) for the number
      of  shares  of Common  Stock to which  the  Holder  of this Note  shall be
      entitled as aforesaid.  Such conversion  shall be deemed to have been made
      immediately  prior to the close of business on the date of such  surrender
      of this Note, and the person or persons  entitled to receive the shares of
      Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  conversion  shall be  treated  for all
      purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as
      of such date.

4.3.  DELIVERY  OF STOCK  CERTIFICATES.  As promptly  as  practicable  after the
      conversion of this Note, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver
      to the Holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the number of
      full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

4.4.  MECHANICS AND THE EFFECT OF  CONVERSION.  No  fractional  shares of Common
      Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company
      issuing any  fractional  shares to the Holder upon the  conversion of this
      Note,  the  Company  shall pay to the  Holder  the  amount of  outstanding
      principal that is not so converted. If the conversion is for less than the
      entire  outstanding  principal  balance of this Note,  then the Holder and
      Maker  shall  execute an  estoppel  certificate  or other type of document
      which will confirm the current  outstanding  principal balance of the Note
      after such partial  conversion for the remaining balance of the Note along
      with the revised payment terms. Upon conversion of the full amount of this
      Note,  the Company  shall be forever  released  from all  obligations  and
      liabilities under this Note.

                                       2





5.    CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.

      5.1   ADJUSTMENTS  FOR STOCK  SPLITS  AND  SUBDIVISIONS.  In the event the
            Company  should at any time or from  time to time  after the date of
            issuance hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or
            subdivision  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock  or the
            determination  of  holders  of Common  Stock  entitled  to receive a
            dividend  or other  distribution  payable  in  additional  shares of
            Common Stock or other  securities  or rights  convertible  into,  or
            entitling  the holder  thereof to receive  directly  or  indirectly,
            additional  shares  of  Common  Stock  (hereinafter  referred  to as
            "Common Stock Equivalents")  without payment of any consideration by
            such holder for the  additional  shares of Common Stock  Equivalents
            (including  the  additional  shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon
            conversion  or exercise  thereof),  then, as of such record date (or
            the date of such dividend  distribution,  split or subdivision if no
            record date is fixed),  the  Conversion  Price of this Note shall be
            appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock
            issuable  upon  conversion  of  this  Note  shall  be  increased  in
            proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

      5.2   ADJUSTMENTS  FOR REVERSE STOCK  SPLITS.  If the numbers of shares of
            Common  Stock  outstanding  at any time  after  the date  hereof  is
            decreased  by a  combination  of the  outstanding  shares  of Common
            Stock,  then,  following  the record date of such  combination,  the
            Conversion Price for this Note shall be  appropriately  increased so
            that the number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  on  conversion
            hereof  shall  be  decreased  in  proportion  to  such  decrease  in
            outstanding shares.

      5.3   RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION.  The Company shall at
            all times  reserve  and keep  available  out of its  authorized  but
            unissued  Common  Stock  solely  for the  purpose of  effecting  the
            conversion  of the Note such number of its shares of Common Stock as
            shall from time to time be  sufficient  to effect the  conversion of
            the Note;  and if at any time the number of authorized  but unissued
            shares  of  Common  Stock  shall not be  sufficient  to  effect  the
            conversion of the entire outstanding  principal amount of this Note,
            in addition  to such other  remedies  as shall be  available  to the
            Holder of this Note,  the Company  will use its best efforts to take
            such  corporate  action as may,  in the opinion of its  counsel,  be
            necessary to increase its authorized  but unissued  shares of Common
            Stock to such  number  of  shares  as shall be  sufficient  for such
            purposes.  The  Company  hereby  agrees to not  pledge,  restrict or
            otherwise  encumber  the  shares of  Common  Stock  which  have been
            reserved for the conversion of the Note by Holder.

                                       3



6.    ASSIGNMENT.  The rights and  obligations  of the Company and the Holder of
      this Note shall be binding  upon and benefit the  successors,  assigns and

      of the other.

      hereunder to any party, shall be deemed to be sufficient if in writing and

      overnight  delivery  service;  provided that rejection or other refusal to
      accept or  inability  to deliver  because of changed  address for which no
      notice has been received shall also constitute receipt.

8.    NO SHAREHOLDER  RIGHTS.  Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed
      as conferring  upon the Holder or any other person the right to vote or to
      consent or to receive  notice as a  shareholder  in respect of meetings of
      shareholders  for the election of the Company or any other  matters or any
      rights  whatsoever  as a shareholder  of the Company;  and no dividends or
      other distributions shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Note or
      the  interest  represented  hereby  or the  Conversion  Shares  obtainable

      Holder hereof is obligated therefore or not.

                                       4



12.   AMENDMENT.  This  Notice  may not be amended  or  modified,  nor shall any
      waiver of any provisions  hereof be effective,  except by an instrument in
      writing  executed  by the  Holder of this  Note.  Failure  or delay by the
      Holder in  exercising,  or a single or partial  exercise  of, any power or
      right  hereunder  shall not  operate  as a waiver  thereof or of any other
      power or right or  preclude  any other or future  exercise  of that or any
      other power or right. A waiver or any power or right hereunder shall be in
      writing, shall be limited to the specific instance and shall not be deemed

      of the Holder's security of an evaluation of the  creditworthiness  of the
      proposed  assuming  party.  No assumption  shall effect Holder's rights to
      Conversion Shares of the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

14.   NO SET-OFF.  Neither this Note nor any  obligations  or liabilities of the
      Company  hereunder  shall be subject  to  set-off,  defense  or  reduction
      against  Holder(s) for any reason whatsoever other than prior repayment in
      accordance  with the terms of this Note, and the Company hereby waives and
      releases  any right at law,  or in  equity,  to assert  any such  set-off,
      defense or reduction.

15.   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY, BY EXECUTION HEREOF, AND THE HOLDER, BY
      ACCEPTANCE  HEREOF,  MUTUALLY AND WILLINGLY  WAIVE THE RIGHT OF A TRIAL BY
