What a Recovery!
It’s been a little over two years since the US government controversially banned
offshore online casinos from accessing the US market – a move that caused many
foreign gambling companies to lose a huge portion of the net worth as their
market has cut significantly. In the past couple of years though many of the
stronger companies have managed to not only recover from the losses of the
UIGEA, but to also perform extremely well in the new markets. Playtech announced
some pretty stellar growth and revenue figures for the beginning of 2009 – the
report definitely adds credence to the notion that Playtech is one of the worlds
top and strongest online casino software development companies.
The specific results indicate that Playtech saw annual revenues skyrocket over
the past year – up a whopping 70 percent. That’s a huge figure and shows that
the company’s growth and brand strengthening strategies are working exactly as
planned. Some of the new profits and growth are a direct result of Playtech’s
advantageous brand licensing deals – these are the crème brule of the software
deals and Playtech has been very successful in securing exclusive access to some
of the top global brands.
2008 was a great year for the company overall and as a part of that year-end
report management has indicated that 2009 is off to an even stronger start than
the previous year, and that’s saying something. Although the new year is still
fairly young Playtech shareholders will undoubtedly welcome the news that
profits and revenues continue to rise and the company’s prestige continues to
grow as well. |
