LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2000--Casino Data Systems (Nasdaq/NM:CSDS - news)

Highest first quarter revenue in Company history
Second highest first quarter operating income in Company history
EPS for the quarter of $.09 vs. $.01 for the prior year's first quarter
Casino Data Systems (Nasdaq/NM: CSDS - news) today announced significant operating profit growth and record revenue for its first quarter ended March 31, 2000.

The Company reported quarterly revenue of $16.8 million, a 7% increase over the same quarter of the prior year and the highest revenue ever for a first quarter. This revenue increase was driven by growth in the Systems and Gaming Devices lines-of-business (LOB). Revenue from the Systems LOB increased $1.1 million or 17% while revenue from the Games LOB increased $914,000 or 19%.

The Company posted operating income of $2.2 million, the second highest ever for a first quarter, compared to $183,000 for the same quarter of the prior year. Net income was $1.6 million or $.09 per share as compared to $192,000 or $.01 per share for the prior year first quarter.

The Company's gross margin improved to 58% as compared to the 45% reported for the same period of the prior year.

The Company also reported the following highlights from its March 31, 2000 balance sheet:

-- No long term debt
-- Cash and investments of $34.8 million
-- Net working capital of $58.0 million
-- Total assets of $113.0 million
-- Book value per diluted share of $4.49

Steve Weiss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated: ``This quarter was significant for CDS. For four consecutive quarters, we have delivered earnings per share of at least nine cents. Those last four quarters are among the strongest in CDS history and should signal to our shareholders that CDS has not just `turned around', but that CDS is back and can deliver profitability consistent with the strongest days in our Company's history.

``We plan on introducing several new game models over the upcoming quarters and plan significant advances to our Oasis(TM) slot information systems. With our strengthened financial position, we plan to increase our emphasis on recurring revenue sources. These plans, and our strong balance sheet, position our Company for continued growth and success.'
