    EQUITEX ACCEPTS OFFER FROM iGAMES ENTERTAINMENT, INC. FOR THE SALE OF ITS
                            CHEX SERVICES SUBSIDIARY

Englewood, Colorado & Palm Beach Gardens, Florida - Equitex, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQTX)
announced today that its board of directors, after extensive deliberations and
consultation with its financial advisor, has determined that the unsolicited
offer received from iGames Entertainment, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada ("iGames")
for the purchase of Equitex's wholly-owned subsidiary, Chex Services, Inc.
("Chex"), is a higher and better offer for the Equitex stockholders than the
transactions contemplated by the previously announced agreement with Cash
Systems, Inc. Equitex therefore has executed a definitive agreement for the sale
of Chex Services to iGames.

Among other terms, the iGames agreement calls for iGames to issue to Equitex, in
exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Chex Services, at least
62.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of iGames common stock having a value
of no less than $63 million upon distribution. The shares to be received will
follow the closing of iGames' previously announced merger with Money Centers of
America. In addition, the agreement calls for a $780,000 two year agreement
between iGames and Denaris, Equitex's stored value card subsidiary, to provide
various services.

As part of the agreement, Equitex will distribute to its stockholders, following
necessary stockholder and regulatory approval, and after consideration of
applicable expenses, that number of shares of iGames common stock required for
Equitex to hold less than ten percent of iGames outstanding common stock
following the transaction.

Closing of this transaction is subject to certain requirements including
necessary stockholder approval, closing of iGames' merger with Money Centers of
America, completion of final documentation, due diligence and other customary
pre-closing conditions.

At this time, the Equitex board of directors intends to place both of the
transactions before its stockholders and recommend that its stockholders approve
the iGames transaction.

This press release does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

Equitex, Inc. is a holding company operating through its wholly owned subsidiary
Chex Services of Minnetonka, Minnesota, as well as its majority owned subsidiary
Denaris Corporation. Chex Services provides comprehensive cash access services
to casinos and other gaming facilities. Denaris was formed to provide stored
value card services.
