DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2015) -  Elite Data Services, Inc. (OTCQB: DEAC) ("EDS" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that, per its recent EDGAR filing it has finalized the acquisition of El Mar Muerto Beauty Mineral, Sociedad Anonima, A Honduran Corporation with a gaming license to own and operate 320 slot machines for distribution across the bay island of Roatan and certain cities in the Honduran mainland.

EDS will furnish $10,000,000 for the asset on a schedule through March 31, 2021, with vested ownership immediately toward near-term revenue streams.

EDS CEO Charles Rimlinger comments: "I'd like to thank shareholders for their patience and support as we navigated this deal toward a successful close. I am thrilled to have our new asset ready to employ and, based on machines in similar territories, we are looking at an attractive profit per machine per day (PPD) in this initiative."

"To give shareholders an idea of the potential income here, we have access to 320 machines in various territories including Honduran mainland and the Roatan bay area. When all machines are in service even at a $150.00 per machine that would put revenue over $40,000 per day.

"If we are to earn even $150 PPD, we breakeven at 48 machines. We have access to 320 machines and will begin rollout toward what the Board agrees could result in a significant increase in shareholder value and restored investor confidence given the Company's capacity to monetize its new asset toward increase in revenues."
