AGM statement and trading update
At today's Annual General Meeting of 888, one of the world's most popular online
gaming entertainment companies, Richard Kilsby, Chairman, will make the
following statement:
'888 has made an encouraging start to the current financial year and continues
to drive its business on the basis of its strategy - delivering more games, over
more platforms to more customers worldwide. This will sustain the Company's
momentum as it moves into the seasonally quieter second quarter.
In line with this strategy, growth in 2007 to date has been driven by the
rollout of innovative products such as Blackjack in Poker, Crazy Blackjack and
games tailored for target markets. 888 has also launched its all new Bingo
product offering, following formal completion, on 16 May, of the acquisition of
the online bingo business of Globalcom Limited.
In May, another step was taken towards implementing 888's unified offering by
the introduction of a wide selection of Casino games into the new poker client
allowing all Poker players direct, easy access to Casino games coupled with the
introduction of the all new 888 BackGammon. In addition all of our new strategic
initiatives, as presented at the annual results, are progressing in line with
expectations.
Trading is also in line with expectations and we continue to look forward to the
future with confidence.'
