Dragonfish Comes to Rescue of 888 Casino

10th February, 2010

One of the best uk casinos online has released their latest figures to the city, with revenues sightly down overall - but only thanks to the good performance of it's B2B arm.

888 Casino announced it's income fell 6% in 2009 to $247m, but the issue lies in the fact that this slight fall is cushioned by Dragonfish Tech - 888's B2B arm, increasing by 33% year on year.

Conversely, 888's B2C arm fell 13% year on year, mainly as a result of inferior exchange rates, as well as a big fall in poker revenues (of 30%).

Bingo on the other hand sky rocketed, up an impressive 82%, in no small part to 888 purchasing Wink Bingo in 2009.

A spokesman for 888 said of the latest results...

'Overall, trading during the quarter was strong across the business. Dragonfish continues its impressive growth, and in B2C, casino and emerging offering were particularly strong, with poker also returning to growth quarter on quarter. Our positive momentum continues into 2010 and, supported by the successful Wink acquisition and our various business initiatives, we expect to grow the business further during the current year.'
