Chasing New Markets
The 2009 fiscal year has been pretty rough for the Party Gaming online casino
gambling group. Party Gaming has paid out a lot of money in the past year and
that has resulted in some visible losses in the company’s revenues and business
statistics. The two major events for this internet gambling group include
payment to the US Department of Justice as the gambling group settled up the
controversial negotiations with the DoJ. Additionally, as the US situation found
resolution the online casino gambling group opted to switch currencies from the
dollar to the Euro – but due to the unfavorable economy the translation of
currencies meant that the gambling group suffered some serious losses.
The online casinos in Europe have largely continued to do very well in the
global gambling market despite the tough economy – but Party Gaming has had a
lot to contend with in the past year or so. Fortunately for Party Gaming though,
it looks as though the worst of the situation is now behind the gambling group
and Party Gaming has some very serious plans to move into new markets and expand
the reach of the gambling group.
Those plans are still moving ahead full steam despite the half-year report that
shows that the online casino gambling groups earnings dropped a significant 6.5
percent for the 2009 first half-year results. Despite those results the internet
gambling group has every intention of continuing European expansion efforts –and
the investment community is supporting the company in this move into new
markets. Stocks and shares of Party Gaming have only risen over the past year
despite the losses and business difficulties. |
