Coming Back and Recovering
Party Gaming has announced that the company is well on its way to recovering
from the shock that sent shares in the online casino gambling group plummeting
over the past several weeks. The co-founder of the Party Gaming brand, Anurag
Dikshit, suddenly sold millions of Party Gaming shares – giving up his majority
ownership in the gambling group. The action came out of nowhere for the
stockholders and as Dikshit offloaded his shares many shareholders temporarily
lost faith in the Party Gaming online casinos and similarly began off-loading
stock. That initial plunge though has led to a nearly full recovery now that the
gambling industry sees that there was no actual impetus for the shares sale at a
Party Gaming operational and performance level.
Essentially, the analysts within the online casino gambling industry agree that
Party Gaming still has a solid brand and solid ability to stay lucrative in the
international internet gambling industry. Although Party Gaming suffered a lot
of setbacks as a result of the US government’s actions, analysts and the global
industry have not lost faith that the Party Gaming sites and brand will likely
survive these obstacles. Another key factor for Party Gaming will be the state
of gambling in Germany. The EU Gambling Commission has been actively working
with the nations with state monopolies and there is a hope that Germany will
soon allow foreign online casinos into the market.
That is where the hope lies for the future of Party Gaming. The company is
steadily rebounding from the Dikshit situation and there is a huge hope that the
German market will re-open to online casino gambling sites and thus give Party
Gaming back about 20 percent of the company’s previous revenue that came from
the German market. |
