(Alliance News) - Webis Holdings PLC shares rallied on Friday after the firm said its US subsidiary WatchandWager.com LLC signed a contract to operate at a racetrack in Arizona.
Shares were up 13% at 3.45 pence each on Friday morning in London.
The Isle of Man-based gaming firm said its Larkspur, California-based advanced wagering service subsidiary signed a contract with the owners of Arizona Downs, a horse racing track in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
The contract is for a commercial lease to operate live harness racing, pari-mutuel wagering - a system of betting on races in which the winners divide the total amount bet - and food and beverage operations at the venue.
The contract is for five years to November 2027, with an option to renew for a further five years.
The contract is still subject to regulatory approval. Webis said the Arizona Department of Gaming is currently expected to give regulatory approval this summer.
