            Re:         Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as counsel to Winmax Trading Group, Inc, a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on
Form S-8 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to
the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate
of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share,
to be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Company's 2005
Non-Qualified Stock Award and Option Plan; and 3,500,000 shares of common stock
of the Company, $0.001 par value per share, to be offered and sold by the
Company pursuant to the Company's Year 2005 Stock Award Plan (collectively, the
"Plans").

      This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of
Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-B under the Act.

      We have examined originals or certified copies of such corporate records,
certificates of officers of the Company and/or public officials and such other
documents and have made such other factual and legal investigations as we have
deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. In
such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

      Based upon our foregoing examination, subject to the assumptions stated
above and relying on the statements of fact contained in the documents that we
have examined, we are of the opinion that the issuance of the Shares upon
exercise of the options granted pursuant to the Plans have been duly and validly
authorized and, when such Shares have been paid for and delivered in accordance
with the terms of the Plans, such Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.



      The opinions set forth in this letter are based solely on, and are limited
to, the internal laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the
United States of America. We are admitted to practice in the State of New York,
and are not admitted to practice in the State of Florida. We express no opinion
as to the laws of the State of Florida.

      Although the Company is a Florida corporation, and the issuance of shares
would be governed by Florida law, we assume for the purposes of this opinion
that the laws of the State of Florida governing the issuance of the securities
by a Florida corporation are the same as New York law governing the issuance of
securities by a New York corporation.

      We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form
S-8 relating to the registration of the Shares. In giving this consent, we do
not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Very truly yours,


                                        Very truly yours,

                                        Robinson & Cole LLP


                                        By:
                                           -------------------------------------
