(Alliance News) - Gaming Realms PLC on Wednesday said its half-year profit has risen by more than 50%, as the company remains optimistic about its full-year results.
The London-based mobile betting games developer reported pretax profit for the six months ended June 30 was GBP3.5 million, up 51% on-year from GBP2.4 million. Revenue rose 18% to GBP13.6 million from GBP11.5 million.
During this six-month period, Gaming Realms launched with 22 new partners across North America and Europe; signed a distribution agreement with Playtech PLC, the Isle of Man-based gambling software development company; was granted a full iGaming supplier licence in West Virginia, and released seven new games into the market, bringing the company's total portfolio to 82 games.
