Low Investment Return
Parlay Entertainment recently released the company’s full year reports for 2009
and the results were pretty lackluster considering the amount of money that the
online casino bingo software development company has invested in structural
expansion. Parlay is a Canadian based company that operates some of the top
online bingo software in the market. Market conditions over the past year have
significantly changed, however, and Parlay was left with some hefty losses to
report for the fourth quarter of 2009 in particular, although revenues were also
down for the entire year. Parlay has noted that the online casino bingo group
did so poorly because of consolidation in the bingo sector that meant fewer
licenses.
The factor of fewer online casino bingo licenses is certainly a big part of the
revenue losses for the whole of 2009, but Parlay has also noted that the company
received almost no return on its investment in building up bingo gaming
platforms aimed at Alderney and North America. These online bingo platforms have
been developed using a significant portion of Parlay Entertainment’s resources –
both financial and personnel-wise but the sheer amount of consolidation between
internet casinos and bingo sites has meant that very few new bingo sites were
launching.
To this end though, Parlay’s full year report did note that the company
anticipates that revenues will increase in the coming year and that the online
casino bingo software development group is already seeing a decent rise in the
number of licensees for the bingo platform. Although Parlay’s year-end results
left a lot to be desired, the company feels that it is primly positioned to
perform well in 2010. |
