PDS Financial Corporation Reports Second Quarter
Earnings of $0.06 Per Share vs. Prior-Year Loss

Revenues Increase 33% to $14.0 Million

LAS VEGAS, July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- PDS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: PDSF - news), which finances, leases, sells,
manufactures and refurbishes gaming equipment for the casino industry, today announced operating results for the second
quarter and first half of the year 2000.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, revenues increased 33% to $14.0 million, compared with $10.5 million in the second
quarter of 1999. The Company reported a net profit of $230,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the most recent quarter,
versus a net loss of ($170,000), or ($0.05) per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The Company completed $3.3 million in
originations during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to $55.3 million in the year-earlier quarter. Originations in the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 were the highest in the Company's history, driven by the completion of significant project
financing for a new gaming facility in Las Vegas.

``These results reflect the success of our strategy of growing and managing the lease portfolio and diversifying our revenue
streams,'' stated Peter Cleary, President and Chief Operating Officer of PDS Financial Corporation. ``Although Slot Source
sales were down from last year, our Lease/Finance division performed well. We are optimistic that our Digital Card System
(DCS(TM)) platform and our recent addition of the web site, CasinoSlotExchange.com, a business-to-business virtual
marketplace for casino equipment, will fuel additional diversified growth. With the addition of the web site distribution channel,
we intend to increase Slot Source sales volume and reduce inventory levels.''

For the second quarter of 2000, revenues from equipment sales and sales-type leases approximated $9.0 million, compared
with $5.8 million in the prior-year period. Costs related to these revenues totaled $7.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively,
resulting in a gross margin on such transactions of $1.4 million in 2000 and $0.4 million in 1999. Sales-type leases include Slot
Source gaming devices and other owned equipment. The increase in sales-type leases in the current quarter is primarily due to
sales under sales-type leases of previously owned equipment. PDS Slot Source shipped a total of 472 and 1,540 gaming
devices in the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Such shipments include games sold, as well as games
placed with customers under lease agreements.

Revenues derived from operating leases and finance income totaled $4.7 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Fee income approximated $0.3 million in the second quarter of both years.

Other costs and expenses primarily includes a prepayment discount on an unsecured notes receivable for the quarter end June
30, 2000. No such transaction occurred in the second quarter of 1999.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company reported revenues of $32.0 million and net income of $405,000, or
$0.11 per diluted share. In the corresponding period of the previous year, revenues totaled $17.4 million and the Company
reported a net loss of ($37,000), or ($0.01) per diluted share.

The Company's lease portfolio decreased slightly, to $60.5 million on June 30, 2000, compared with $62.1 million as of
December 31, 1999. The Company's investment in equipment held for sale or lease increased from $6.6 million on December
31, 1999, to $7.1 million as of June 30, 2000, reflecting its investment in the new DCS(TM) platform. Although the Company
can make no assurances, regulatory approval of this platform is expected during the second half of 2000, and shipments of the
devices should begin immediately thereafter.

PDS Financial Corporation, an integrated provider of customized finance and leasing solutions to the gaming industry, also
supplies reconditioned gaming devices to casino operators throughout the United States. In 1999, the Company acquired the
exclusive intellectual property rights to manufacture and distribute digital table game products utilizing DCS(TM) technology to
the casino industry (including Sovereign Nation casinos) throughout the United States. PDS Financial Corporation is
headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and its common stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol ``PDSF''.
