PartyGaming looking dull
Party Gaming seems to be struggling due to current market crunch and business cut off from United States two years back.
During rosy days, Party Gaming brand was worth £7 billion and was the world’s largest and number one online poker room, but today, Party Gaming slipped way down and even ipoker network overtook party.
Today Party has slipped to fourth in the internet poker league table, is worth less than £400 million and is seeking merger partners to beef up its dwindling player pool.
Party Gaming official spoke to one of the news reporter and said that things right now are not looking good but certainly due to new elected president of United States (Obama), things are looking bright for future perspective.
We are in talks with dept of justice and we are heading towards positive deal with DOJ.
PartyGaming also reported a 15 per cent fall in poker revenues to $65 million (£43.2 million).
