Casino Data Systems' PAYOUT! Game Receives Approval From Nevada Gaming Control Board16 May 2000LAS VEGAS--(Press Release)--May 16, 2000--Casino Data Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:CSDS - news) announced today that the Nevada Gaming Control Board has approved PAYOUT!™, the newest in the Company's Bandit Series™ of games. PAYOUT! is designed to capture player interest through such features as CDS' state-of-the-art Bandit graphics and two exciting and innovative bonus games approved by actual players for entertainment and appeal. PAYOUT!, which features a five-reel base game with 9, 15 or 25 lines, offers the player one of two randomly chosen bonus games when three bonus symbols line up on adjacent reels. In the "Match 'N' Win™ Bonus," players have a random number of spins to match the symbols on the spinning reels with the pre-selected "match" symbol. Players increase their rewards based on the number of matches made. The "Line 'Em Up™ Bonus" provides payouts that increase with the number of three-in-a-row matches the player makes, either vertically, horizontally or diagonally, by touching one of the three columns. When a match is made, the symbols disappear and the player gets more chances to make matches. "Gaming Control Board approval of PAYOUT! allows us to add another state-of-the-art game to our product offerings," said Dave Lucchese, VP of the Games Division of Casino Data Systems. "We are making great strides in bringing new, compelling games to market. Casino operators are constantly looking for slot machines with more player appeal and earning power."
