Live Roulette revenues break £1m per day
NetPlay TV plc (AIM: NPT), the interactive gaming company, is pleased to
announce that gross bets on its 'Live Roulette' service hit a new landmark
figure of £1m in a single day. During the first three days of April, bets
totalled £2.91m, one of which exceeded the £1m threshold.
Live Roulette, acquired by NetPlay in December 2006, is aired on Sky Channel 847
for 24 hours every day of the week. This is the only channel in the world to
offer a 'live' televised roulette show 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Over the coming months, Live Roulette will expand its offering forming the basis
of a new 'Super Casino', under which other games such as Live BlackJack will be
offered.
Martin Higginson, Chairman and Chief Executive of NetPlay TV plc, said:
'Exceeding £1m of bets in a single day is another milestone for the business.
When we acquired the 'Live Roulette' business just over 12 months ago, average
daily bets were just over £100,000. To grow this by ten times is a real credit
to the entire NetPlay TV team.
'Over the next few weeks we will introduce our new 'live' TV game, Live
BlackJack, as well as integrating over 40 video slot games into the websites.
This will form the basis for the integration into our new brand,
www.supercasino.com later this year.'
