Thursday, November 5th, 2009

There is something to be said for never settling for less than you best. The smart people behind the scenes over at Harrah’s Entertainment knew that they possessed enough know-how and insight to capture the world of online casinos by storm. After embarking on a truly amazing journey as the company established and built up a veritable empire within the confines of Las Vegas and in the land-based casino industry around the country, the business decided it was time to make the move into the highly lucrative online casino business. And they are not turning back.

The company has been able to align itself with major powerhouses in the business of online casinos such as 888 Holdings and more specifically, a steady relationship with Dragonfish that has been charged with creating the software for this business venture. The people behind the scenes at 888 could not be more pleased with the development of this business partnership. They know very well that they are the absolute envy of everyone else in the business who was not lucky or savvy or skilled enough to win the hearts and minds of the major officials over at Harrah’s Entertainment.

Over the course of the next year and a half, people can expect to see some very major developments from this business relationship.

Harrahs Pushes Into Online Casino Market

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Since Harrah’s Entertainment has made such an indelible impression on the industry of land-based casinos, especially within the confines of the bright lights and glamour of Las Vegas, it makes since that the company would know just the perfect path to take that will help it gain an incredibly strong foothold in the market of online casinos as well. This foray into a fresh new industry has been a seemingly easy challenge for the people behind the scenes at Harrah’s to confront. They have partnered up with the online casino operations powerhouse 888 Holdings and are now set to bring their highly successful brand names World Series of Poker and Caesars Palace to the internet casino realm.

Most every operator of online casinos has their eyes and ears tuned in and focused on what Harrah’s is going to do next. Harrah’s has been working on developing their collection of games with Dragonfish, a well known and highly respected name for casino software. They are highly regarded for having produced some of the top poker and casino software that players have come to rely on and crave as if it were some sort of addiction.

It is surely too early to predict whether or not Harrah’s will be able to make the same caliber of mark it has left on the land-based casino business on its online counterpart, but the potential is definitely there.

888 Holdings Reports Drop In Revenue

Monday, August 10th, 2009

With what has been widely described as the worst economic recession since World War II, some online casinos and operators are finally hinting that their financial situation may not be quite as rosy as everyone once thought it was. Many people, even those inside the online casino industry have pronounced the business practically immune to financial woes, but more and more that is not the case.

It seems that the online gambling group 888 Holdings plc issued a report just a while back that indicated that with the steep decline in spending by consumers, fewer and fewer people are coming out to gamble and wager at their favorite online casinos. With most national economies slowed down to a depressingly bleak pace, not everyone has the extra cash and disposable income set aside to embark upon hours and hours of gambling fun at their top favorite internet casinos. The revenue numbers for a great many online casino sites has dropped in substantial ways.

Still, everyone has high hopes that if any industry is capable of being highly resilient and able to bounce back in a hurry from this sort of hardship, then it is the casino gambling industry. The future prospects do look pretty positive overall with a forecast sales growth of some 20% or more predicted for the coming year. People are saying that the first quarter will be the lowest most depressing point and it will only improve from there. Let us all hope that is the case so that the casino gambling industry can set itself upright again and make a swift and hardy recovery.

888 Holdings Reports Poor 2nd Quarter

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

It seems that some big players in the industry of online casinos have finally come out and admitted that the struggling economy is indeed hitting hard on business revenue. This has not been something that any online casino operators have been incredibly forthcoming with. The internet casinos seemed to have thrived on their “financially immune” reputation that has helped them outlast and outperform many land-based casinos even in normally super strong and consistent business environments such as Las Vegas.

But now the online gambling group 888 Holdings plc has released a report that indicates that things may not be quite as upbeat and rosy as many online casinos would have you think. It appears that the decrease in consumer spending has finally hit and had a decidedly negative impact on the casino gambling business. Revenue is just not what it used to be thanks to this gloomy and seemingly endless recession that has gripped the United States and countless other countries around the world.

For 888 Holdings, the second quarter for the year of 2009 was not a very good one. It seems as though the operating income dropped a total of 12% al the way down to $61 million compared to just a year ago. $61 million dollars may seem like an awful lot of money, but the financial loss does not spell anything positive for the future outlook economically speaking at this time. The quantity of active internet poker and casino players has lowered about 8% down to 180,000. Both of these figures were also not too strong for the first quarter as well.

Dragonfish Teams With Bingo Operators

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

It seems that there are three new impressive partnerships that have recently been forged in the world of online casinos and bingo operators. This time around the burgeoning business relationship is between Dragonfish, a division of 888 Holdings and their new line-up of fabulous casino bingo partners which includes Bingo Hollywood. Costa Bingo and Moon Bingo. How the deal will work is that the online casino bingo software developed by Dragonfish will serve to underpin the plans of Moon Bingo to bring forth a spectacular and truly unique bingo network.

This business development has come to fruition based on the tremendous successes that Dragonfish has experienced so far as the company has made their way into the bingo segment of the market of online casinos. This kind of success cannot be underestimated since it is already exceedingly challenging to get ahead when the casino and bingo markets are so completely saturated, especially within the European region. Technically speaking it is the company called Newco that is responsible for the extensive achievements of some of the major players that comprise the Dragonfish bingo network such as Spectra Bingo and Glorious Bingo.

The marketing budget for this upcoming business venture is somewhere in the millions so you can bet that they will be rolling out the big guns to get this thing off the ground. Everyone involved in the project is super excited and super confident that it will be a huge success. For Moon Bingo, they will also be able to take advantage of the Total Gaming Services that Dragonfish provides and that will give Moon Bingo a huge boost over their competitors. This means special features such as chat moderation, customer service and support, ePayment programs and a bunch of administrative perks as well.

PartyGaming & 888 Vie For Business Deal

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

It seems that there is fierce competition in the air among not only players at online casinos but also among different casino companies that are vying for the same business deals. This time the race is on between 888 Holdings and PartyGaming. The two online casino industry companies are competing neck and neck to seal the deal with Cashcade. They are among the top final companies who have thrown their hat into the ring and put down a bid. Cashcade is a well known casino and gambling operation in the business. Some of their ventures include the likes of Foxy Bingo and GetMinted among others. The company has been doing very well overall despite the horribly bleak economic conditions that have paralyzed many other industries in the business world.Over the course of the last year, Cashcade was able to take in a gross gaming revenue sum that was right around 45 million pounds. That is a substantial undertaking given today’s unforgiving financial climate. Many other online casinos and assorted gambling operations would be very happy to achieve half of what Cashcade has been able to generate in terms of profits. This organization, devoted mostly to the online bingo sector of the casino business is partially owned by Independent News and Media.

Their latest deal is going to set them up very well financially speaking for some time to come. There is rumored to be one other competitive bidder who also decided to throw their hat into the ring to work with Cashcade and many casino industry insiders are assuming that the contender is none other than Paddy Power. With PartyGaming well on the mend from their legal woes and battling it out with the United States Department of Justice, they are scouting out a vast assortment of acquisition possibilities to spice things up.
