Gaming Realms Share Discussion Threads

Bought shares this morning and watched to see the buy go through. Nothing happened
and then the penny dropped. Checked on ISDX and there they were. I know from experience that when companies trade on both exchanges in my opinion it is a
no win situation for investors. So sadly I knew i had to sell them again. I did not have a lot just a few now and again. 4100 in one account and the 2000 that i had
just bought in another. Sold them both and guess where the sells appeared. On the
LSE. Glad i am now out. Pity really because I think they will do well. But too many
games will be played between the exchanges for my liking. At the moment I am the only buy on ISDX and i have the only two sells on LSE. So it's plain to see.

Who's going to bankroll next year!?

[the shuffle man] 02/11/2016 09:12

Excellent trading update. If the momentum continues they could be EBITDA positive for the full year.

· Significant revenue growth of 109% to £16.6m (H1/15: £8.0m) driven by continued success from the Group's proprietary mobile platform ("Grizzly") and the acquisition of the social gaming assets from Real Networks, which contributed £3.8m of social gaming and licensing revenues in H1/16 (H1/15: £nil)

· Real money gambling revenue on the Grizzly platform up 143% to £10.2m (H1/15: £4.2m)

· EBITDA loss of £3.0m (H1/15: £2.4m) which includes an H1/16 front loaded growth investment in marketing of £9.5m related to the Group's ongoing investment in slingo.com and launch of Britain's Got Talent games, as well as the continued scaling in our other real money gaming sites and mobile apps. This investment in marketing has been the key driver in the growth of our revenues and depositing players, and compares to £5.1m of marketing expenditures in H1/15

· The Board believes that the Group is trading in line with market expectations, which implies that the Group will be EBITDA positive for 2016

Operational highlights:

· Mobile usage predominates on Grizzly platform, with 84% of depositing players using mobile up from 80% in H1/15

· Player take-up increased 269% with 143,282 new depositing players during the period (H1/15: 38,869) excluding disposals in current and prior periods

· Disposal of non-core assets including third party platform bingo sites and marketing agency to focus on core strategy

· Licensing contracts with Zynga and Scientific Games into significant adjacent markets

· Launch of Britain's Got Talent games site in the UK

· Continued investment in product development, in line with the Group's strategy of highly focused investment in our games, platform and player acquisition

Post-period end:

The Group has signed and launched a number of key deals which will further help growth for H2 2016:

· Launch of thexfactorgames.com and creation of a new game based on the television show

· A B2B deal with Bauer Media for the co-promotion of SpinGenie.com across Bauer's radio, digital and magazine titles, including Heat and Closer magazines, and on Heat, Kiss, Magic and Absolute radio stations

· The Group has launched its Remote Game Server which allows the licensing of its games to selected partners, which will have a direct positive impact on the EBITDA contribution in 2017 and beyond

Patrick Southon, Chief Executive, said:

"The Group has delivered an excellent first half as a result of focusing on our proprietary technology and games publishing and licensing.

"We have seen strong growth on our proprietary Grizzly platform, which has been achieved through the development of unique content, investment in player acquisition and improved use of CRM on mobile. We continue to see lower player costs per acquisition than the industry average. Our revenue per active real money player in H1/16 has increased by 56% to £110 v H1/15. At the same time, we have streamlined the business through the disposal of our third party platform bingo sites and marketing agency.

"The integration of the Social Games teams in Seattle and Vancouver Island has been successful and the Group is now producing content through a combined road map for both real money and free to play apps. In addition, we continue to sign strategic partnerships and licensing deals for our content, IP and platform with blue chip partners, which underlines the long term growth prospects of the Group."



Outlook

The Group will continue to implement its business strategy, which has proven to be very successful in H1 2016. At the same time, the disposal of the third-party platform bingo sites and the re-organisation of our non-core digital marketing activities have helped to increase the focus on the highest growth areas of the business.

The Board believes that the Group is trading in line with market expectations, which implies that the Group will be EBITDA positive for 2016.

always seems to be deal after deal with this co - bet it will be offloaded within 12 months after another 'strategic review'. Trouble is these deals never seem to bring in the money - wheres me divvi spivvi?

[tangerine_dream] 04/5/2016 14:36

No money = no interest.

[the shuffle man] 04/5/2016 10:57

I agree good results and positive outlook.

There just doesn't seem to be any interest in this stock.

[laptop15] 04/5/2016 10:39

Good results....hardly any movement with the SP?? Very strange!!

[laptop15] 28/4/2016 10:18

Things are hotting up here!! Another good license signed....the company is progressing nicely and its just a matter of time before share price risely sharply! Think results are out tommorrow :))

[swiss paul] 26/4/2016 21:19

Think it might be early days yet for xfactor bingo

[laptop15] 26/4/2016 18:43

Cheers buddy so that gives us the next 3 days:)) Hopefully the results are good and triggers a break out of the current levels!!plus starts to attract more traders! Still reckon the share price should be around 30p as its definitely valued at much higher than these levels! Also br interesting to here how they are performing so far this year with the new games and platform etc.

[the shuffle man] 26/4/2016 14:26

Should be this weekThe Group expects to report its 2015 preliminary results in April 2016.

[laptop15] 19/4/2016 16:54

Alright shuffleman ;-) seems to be slowly moving back up! Very little buying going on though....we need the results to be released. Any idea when they are out? I believe they are due but i'm not sure when.Still seems stuck in this 19-21p range though.

[laptop15] 11/4/2016 21:34

Shuffle man, do u think they are still selling from that fundraising they did a few months ago? There always seems to me someone selling! I also expected a rise today with the RNS! Maybe the good news will sink in over next few days.

[laptop15] 11/4/2016 11:12

Yes man hood RNS, i think it will slowly start to rise soon. Don't forget its just the start of lots o good news....good that all going to plan. Looks like the market is slow to pick up on the hood things going on here!!But don't worry shuffle....it soon will :))Keep the faith!Feels like our own private chat board....haha!

[the shuffle man] 11/4/2016 09:44

Nice announcement this morning re Britains Got Talent and still no interest !

[laptop15] 10/4/2016 16:17

Shuffle man, i recommend you add the following 2 companies to your watch list.I'm expecting big things from these:1. Flowgroup + 30% so far.2. Berkeley energia + 15% so far.Really bright future for both of these :))Do a bit of research and you'll see.I'm also very excited about gaming realms!Good luck

[laptop15] 08/4/2016 20:26

Nice one shuffle :)) up 0.5p too!I'm sure it will come good soon for us both buddy :)

[the shuffle man] 08/4/2016 11:48

Lap

Topped up a few more this morning !

[laptop15] 07/4/2016 18:31

Sorry....lol...my mistake was getting the market cap figure wrong meant to say 60k.

[laptop15] 07/4/2016 17:08

Think that's a good move as they are at a bottom now in my opinion....i recently doubled up! There is resistance at 19p so i think u could get them for 19.5/20p on a bounce as the buy in quite high.I think we will only shoot up price wise when we pass the 50k market cap threshold. But its threatening to break its recent trend range of 19-21p.But financial update dates are due plus xfactor gets closer all the time :))4th quarter 2016 and 1st quarter 2017 will be our time.Still i see some interest and trading picking up so thats a good sign....I'm bullish about this share. But it could be a slow burner but solid investment.
