Playtech's Popularity Grows
In an industry that praises the two top online casinos software developers above
all the rest, Playtech is coming right up in popularity and respect. Playtech is
based in the Isle of Man and offers a variety of internet software for various
sectors of the internet gambling industry. In addition to growing in popularity
in Europe, Playtech has effectively moved into emerging Asian markets and has
not been slowed down at all by the 2006 online casinos gambling ban in the
United States. 2007 in fact was a great year for Playtech – the company has
released fourth quarter results that indicate that the company performed above
expectations and continued to generate significant revenue.
As the online casinos industry explodes in Europe and other countries, Playtech
is finding an increasing number of companies looking for quality, respected, and
reasonably priced software. The company’s fourth quarter results showed month on
month revenue increases – which is actually in line with the company’s
performance throughout 2007. In addition, the company’s online casinos gaming
software performed outstandingly well with a 72 percent increase in revenue in
just the fourth quarter alone.
The majority of Playtech’s major software licensees are located in Europe and
offer service to European players, but that doesn’t mean that Playtech isn’t
also performing well in Asia. Playtech has a firm foothold in the emerging Asian
online casinos industry and though that portion of licensees does not generate a
majority of the company’s revenue, it still performs very well.
Playtech’s fourth quarter results “exceeded management expectations," according
to statements from the company. Industry analysts looking at the other quarterly
reports for 2007 predict that the year-end report will show significant growth
for the company all throughout 2007. |
