888 Sales Rise as Casino Games Bring in More Players

Rss

888 Holdings Plc, the U.K.'s second- largest online gaming company, said fourth-quarter sales rose 55 percent after more gamblers bet on casino games and poker. Sales climbed to $62.8 million from $40.5 million a year earlier, the Gibraltar-based company said today in a statement. This year's first quarter ``started strongly,'' according to 888, the owner of the Casino On Net and Pacific Poker brands.

Last year was the company's first full year without any business in the U.S. after a 2006 law barred foreign betting Web sites, cutting 888 off from its main market. To keep sales rising, the company is adding sports betting to its array of games in Europe in the current quarter with partner Rank Group Plc and introducing an online casino and wagers on sports in Asia.
