(GlobeNewswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elray Resources Inc. (OTCPK:ELRA) 2014 has been a year marked with challenges for Elray but it has also been a year of remarkable accomplishments, as we progress towards our vision of being a Globally Recognized and Successful Gaming Company.



We remain focused on building our own Intellectual Gaming property as well as continuing to be a global gaming service provider with particular emphasis son the rapidly growing Online Gaming segment of the marketplace.

PROFITABLE GROWTH OVER THE LONG TERM In the last twelve months we have made some considerable achievements, we have generated the company's first revenue streams via contractual relationships with strategic gaming operators, we have built unique, valuable gaming technology including a fully operational Virtual Horse Racing System www.simVracing.com and we are in the midst of deploying this technology into the lucrative online gaming arena which will result in additional revenues, we have concluded a JV agreement with a major Junket operator in Asia leading to large wagering activity, we have raised considerable investment via a private placement of stock.


MULTIPLE REASONS TO 'BET ON US' (ELRAY'S BUSINESS SLOGAN) MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF WAGERING Elray is already generating considerable gaming activity in a Licensed Live Dealer Casino Facility located in Manila as a result of its Joint Venture with its Junket Operators.

The JV has resulted in gaming revenues (Wagering) of greater than $68,000,000 over a 45 Day period and average of over 1.5 Million USD per day and a day high of $9,296,568 USD.

Elray will continue to develop and grow this segment of the business.

BILLION'S OF POTENTIAL CONSUMERS AND A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR MARKETPLACE The Global Gaming market was worth USD 70.5 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 117.9 billion in 2015, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2011 to 2015. In the overall global market, the Asia pacific region is the fastest growing geographical segment till 2015. The demand is forecasted to increase in the upcoming years worldwide due to advanced gaming features and increasing number of internet users. * Transparency Market Research.

Elray is focused and already actively involved on the Emerging Markets and China and these markets present massive opportunities for Elray.

These three essential strategies comprise our corporate strategy, define our standard for assessing performance, and shape all of our thinking.
