Surprising lack of share price action - I suspect it will come in time. Very tempted to take a position here.

"GameAccount Network
Announces new simulated gaming deal in California
August 12 2015 |

The announcement of a deal to provide simulated gaming for a Californian land-based client is positive for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, it helps “fill out the map”: it is GameAccount’s first West Coast partnership. Secondly, San Manuel is the first land-based client using IGT as its casino management system provider to sign up for GameAccount’s simulated offering. IGT provides management systems to many of the largest US casinos and therefore having a proven integration with an IGT supplied client should help the sales pipeline with other land-based casinos.

Another simulated gaming contract win today, this time "among California’s largest casino operators":

Ignore the published spread, online is usually much better.

Commentary on today's news from Goodbody, who say Buy:



"GameAccount Network Launches real-time Slot Tournaments for Simulated Gaming

Gameaccount has announced the launch of real-time multiplayer Slot Tournaments for its Simulated Gaming offering. Previously Simulated Gaming users have been playing in isolation, with the exception of a general inter-user leaderboard displayed on the relevant website. Slot Tournaments, which are a common feature of land-based casinos, allow users to compete against and engage with other players in real-time.

The product has been launched for the majority of the group’s US Simulated Gaming clients and is expected to be deployed to the Group’s real-money gaming ventures in New Jersey and Europe in H215.

Management has noted that thus far the Slot Tournaments have had encouraging KPIs, with ARPDAU (average revenue per daily active user) more than three times greater than the Simulated Gaming average. Furthermore, the statement also notes that Slot Tournaments have enhanced user acquisition and retention.

As the product has only been launched quite recently, the extent of its impact on Simulated Gaming KPIs remains to be seen. The investment case for GameAccount
is centred around user volumes and scale in Simulated Gaming, and any contribution towards that from Slot Tournaments is welcome."

Making good progress.
Shame the share price is off 10% on a tiny amount of volume recently and the spread is so huge.

[rivaldo] 22/7/2015 07:09

This is good news - the launch of a whole new range of slot games. In particular, the launch in the coming months could provide a further step-change in recurring revenues:



"• The majority of GameAccount Network’s operational US casino operator clients have adopted Slot Tournaments, most recently New York’s Empire City Casino which are now available to play online via www.EmpireCityCasino.com
• Expected deployment of Slot Tournaments for the Company’s regulated real money Internet gaming markets including New Jersey, the United Kingdom and Italy later in H2 2015"

Excellent - and long - new interview with the CEO here. Well worth reading, but this is just a tiny extract:



"Looking ahead, Smurfit sees the company delivering online services to many more U.S. casino operators. “And supporting a massive online audience of players which will numerically dwarf the casino operators’ on-property patron visitation numbers (although on-property gaming will continue to dominate online income for many years to come).”

[rivaldo] 23/6/2015 10:00

Yes, large systems sales will be the big money-earners here.

But imagine the huge potential mass-market audience for these games - across the USA and then worldwide. For a small cap like GAME, this could provide a lovely core of a few £m's of ongoing, recurring revenue, justifying the current m/cap on its own, whilst leaving lots of upside for the headline-grabbing system sales.

I love companies which have a solid core of revenues and which have anything else as a bonus.

[someuwin] 23/6/2015 09:17

Developing free to play solitaire type games on mobiles (that are only generating 24c per day - presumably through adverts) is not the big deal I was hoping for here.

[trentendboy] 23/6/2015 08:36

The conference talk is interesting - I wonder if they are talking to new partners - these events are often the precursor to post conference RNSs of new deals announced.

A good time to hold - the cash issue is not a primary concern at this stage

[trentendboy] 23/6/2015 08:35

Not much of a share price reaction to the news - I guess not obviously revenue enhancing but the soft launch results are promising and scale up nicely if you do the numbers.

[rivaldo] 23/6/2015 07:43

They got the order of the RNS's the wrong way round imo. Much better to have RNS'd re the conference last night, and then followed up this morning with the mobile gaming RNS for greater impact.

Since the conference wouldn't have started yet the mobile gaming RNS would have been fine to issue this morning. Oh well! Let's see if people are paying attention.

[dlku] 23/6/2015 07:38

CASH MUST BE RUNNING A BIT LOW> HENCE NOISE!

[phowdo] 23/6/2015 07:33

Well we got a follow on morning RNS.
They probably are talking about the mobile platform at the conference hence need for its RNS yesterday.

[trentendboy] 22/6/2015 18:30

It is an impressive but strangely late RNS.

Glad I topped up today.

This can really fly when it gets going

Could transform revenues

[rivaldo] 22/6/2015 18:27

A late RNS tonight which sounds really exciting imo...they should have left it until the morning if possible (unless there's more news in the morning!):



"Statement re Successful Launch of Casual Mobile Gaming Platform Complementing Simulated Gaming™

GameAccount Network announces successful launch of its Casual Mobile Gaming platform complementing Simulated Gaming™

London & Dublin | 22 June, 2015: GameAccount Network plc (“GameAccount Network” or the “Company”), an award-winning developer and supplier of enterprise-level B2B internet gaming software and online gaming content in the United States, announces the launch of its Casual Mobile Gaming platform serving as a powerful complement to its existing Simulated Gaming™ solution.

Highlights

• Mobile Gaming is a new global market for the Company with a new product line of casual mobile games principally delivered to land-based casinos in the United States. Distinct from the Company’s existing markets of real money Regulated Gaming and Simulated Gaming™, mobile gaming on smart phones and tablets generated $3bn in sales in 2013 from 146m US residents (Source: Casual Connect ‘Games Market Sector Report: Smartphone & Tablet Gaming 2013’)
• Casual Mobile Gaming are games designed for smart phones and tablets for a mass-market audience and which have any type of gameplay and sit within any genre. Casual games typically offer simple gameplay with no particular skills required in order to play and enjoy
• The GameAccount Network Casual Mobile Gaming platform, launched in Q1 2015, after eighteen months in Research & Development and has, since the commencement of soft-launch marketing, achieved Average Revenue Per Daily Active User (ARPDAU) of $0.24c, which currently exceeds general expectations within the Casual Mobile Gaming Industry
• The first casual mobile game delivered for a US casino, ‘Foxwoods Solitaire’ is available for both Google Android and Apple iOS mobile devices in over 150 countries worldwide. This game contains links promoting the Simulated Gaming app also available in App stores. Additional casual mobile games will be delivered online in 2015 for existing land-based casino clients of Simulated Gaming™ in the United States
• Casual Mobile Gaming enables land-based US casinos access to the Mobile Gaming market worth an estimated $3bn per annum in the United States in 2013. Casual Mobile Gaming is proven to increase new downloads of Simulated Gaming™ mobile Apps which is proven to increase property visitation among existing patrons; reactivate lapsed patrons bringing them back on-property; and, drive acquisition of new patrons from outside the typical drive distance to the property

Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GameAccount Network commented:

“Executives of land-based US casinos are generally aware that casino patrons also play casual mobile games while on and off-property. Our innovative Casual Mobile Gaming platform will now enable our clients of Simulated Gaming™ to tap into an existing $3bn market in the United States and extend their relationship with their patrons with highly engaging Casual Mobile Gaming experiences. We now offer land-based US casinos a unique service: Simulated Gaming™ complemented by Casual Mobile Gaming … with a proven upgrade path to real money Regulated Gaming in the event suitable legislation passes in their State.” "

At least I could get a quote today to buy direct instead of fill and kill.

Interesting article above. Could be a real money spinner.

They are close to the deals that should push the share price back to the early highs IMO

High risk, but a possibly very high reward stock.

I still think GAME will also be snapped up by the likes of PTEC as soon as things look a little more secure - good contracts, good track record and intelligent backers who know this game

[rivaldo] 22/6/2015 07:40

It seems EZ Baccarat is now taking off - and this article on it has a nice mention for GAME:



"Meanwhile, GameAccount Network, a United Kingdom-based gaming software company listed on the London and Dublin stock exchanges, may expand EZ Baccarat to 10 virtual gaming sites by year’s end."

[rivaldo] 18/6/2015 12:44

Buying coming in at 77p now. Given the rise, and the lack of PI interest, I'd be very surprised if there's isn't good news at some point soon.

[dlku] 16/6/2015 09:09

Cant Buy now either online

We have not been able to get a firm quote for your order from the market. To place the order you will need to submit the order as a 'fill or kill' order with a limit price.

[dlku] 16/6/2015 09:09

something going on, this is shooting up

[jon123] 16/6/2015 08:28
