Latest Irish online casino news

If we are totally honest we have to accept that the vast majority of casino games players in Ireland do not share our interest in online casino news updates, not even when it is specifically Irish casino news. Nevertheless we feel that we have a duty to report on what is happening with our major online casino operators, at least in terms of their financial performance and share price. After all, now that William Hill have re-joined the Footsie 100 for the first time in seven years many of us have a vested interest in their share price even if we don’t hold shares individually. Our pension funds for instance are often concentrated on the top 100 companies on the London Stock Exchange so the fortunes of at least one of our online casino operators has taken on a new level of importance. The success of William Hill over the past two years has been based almost on their online activities, with their online casino and sports betting site doing sterling business and allowing them to leave their rival Ladbrokes well behind. Ladbrokes of course have a very strong presence in Ireland and are often the subject of our Irish casino news bulletins, so the question is can they catch up. The signs are that they might just be getting their act together. Apparently they have recently secured the services of a senior online executive, and they have also enlisted the help of the specialist online casino software company Playtech, who were largely responsible for the success of William Hill’s online business. They have also opened up in Israel which many believe will prove highly successful. If you’re into gambling, and we know you are, it might be worth keeping an eye on Ladbrokes share price over the coming months. While we’re on the subject of share prices relating to online casino businesses, don’t forget Playtech because this is a company definitely on the up.
