A Super Company on the Rise
The merger announcement between Bwin and Party Gaming stands as one of the
largest potential mergers that the online casino gambling industry has ever
seen. Although Party Gaming took quite a licking after leaving the US market
nearly four years ago the business has proven its success in the intervening
years by rebuilding the business and establishing strong success within the
European market in just three short years. Party Gaming has reclaimed its former
glory in the industry and the company’s online casinos stand as some of the most
lucrative and sought after gaming experiences in the market. Then there’s Bwin;
this Austrian internet betting group has a stellar reputation in the market for
an easy to use betting interface and competitive odds on all of the major sports
matches happening all over the world.
These two companies stand at the top of their respective and complimentary
industries and this merger will create a super brand – a company with incredibly
strong control within several sectors of the larger online casino gambling
industry. Bwin brings the experience with the highly lucrative sports betting
market and all of the technology and developments to make this market
successful. Party Gaming brings with it the technology and software to run top
online casinos for the global market in addition to poker and a smaller sports
betting division.
Combined they will dominate their respective niches and allow each other brand
more cross-market success because of access to strong technology and backend
systems already proven within that respective market, be it the online casinos,
poker, sports betting, or a new sector of the market such as mobile gambling. |
