Elite Data Services Hits Negotiation Jackpot, Restructures Deal With Gaming Distributor License

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 7, 2015) - Elite Data Services, Inc. (OTCQB: DEAC) ("EDS" or "the Company") announces today that its recently secured financing has been deposited in escrow for closing on its final negotiations to secure a Distributor license included with the Gaming license, which will include more locations available to a wider audience, including both Honduran citizens and tourists alike. The Company's Board of Directors are finalizing review in conjunction with preparing a conservative projected revenue estimate based on the Company's placement goals as permitted under the license.

EDS CEO Charles Rimlinger comments: "Our expectations have been exceeded by the new opportunity here. With secured financing, we have successfully renegotiated our license to include gaming distribution for the island of Roatán in addition to distribution rights in the Honduras mainland, allowing us to access revenue streams suited to a wider distribution in an expedited time frame."

"This is a very exciting time for the Company and its shareholders. It's been a long road to reach a point where we can effectively align our overall business model toward long-term growth in the gaming industry. The finalization of the gaming distributor license, albeit significant, is the beginning of this sector's development. I am confident that this move, along with the revenue streams it is capable of delivering, is the beginning of a lucrative future for the Company and its shareholders."

A conservative projected estimate is being prepared based on the Company's strategic placement program as permitted under such license. EDS expects to have acquired the license in the coming days after the Board of Directors have completed its final review and will announce accordingly.
