A very strong growth in the casino market is held accountable to Party Gaming who saw their casino revenue increase by a massive 21% in the first quarter of this year (45% revenue growth on year-on-year basis).

Their poker revenue also rose but not by quite the same margin. Party Poker revenue was up 13% to $80.7m in the first quarter whilst sportsbetting revenue increased by 4%.

Mitch Garber, boss of Party Gaming, said: "As we enter the seasonally quiet period of the year, the business is performing well and there are a number of exciting developments in prospect".

In the upcoming months Party Gaming are set to launch Italian business, introduce a catalogue of new branded online casino slots games and launch a completely new product.
