Playtech BGT Sports, supplier of omni-channel sports betting technology, has partnered with Corporación Caliente of Mexico, a leading gaming operator, to use the Playtech self-service betting terminals in the Caliente casinos.The two companies are already working together since 2014 with the online casino offering. The terminals will initially go into more than 12 Caliente casinos across Mexico, taking the partnership beyond online and into retail.

Fidelity reduced holding to below 5%.

Also, having received the 2017 Annual Report hard copy, it seems strange that while revenue from Europe, including €6.5 million from Norway, is itemised by country is included in Note 4, while China and Malaysia are lumped together in Rest of the World which produced revenues of €110 million.

Also gaming and trading figures are lumped together.

Hiding something then which came out in the Trading Update?

I’m still not convinced that all of the bad news is out. While there appears to be support around 510p we still haven’t enough information.

Thanks nod.

Brexit+ , just to clarify the bookmaker for the short seller was not Morgan Stanley as some have reported, it was Goldman Sachs on behalf of a US hedge fund..July 11, 2018, 8:05 AM GMT+12 Updated on July 12, 2018, 3:48 AM GMT+12> Goldman Sachs sold $160 million stake for U.S. hedge fund> Sale happened two weeks before shares tanked on warningMS presumably could see the GS selling and sold some or all of its own holding as it reported. Unfortunately it's not required by the stock exchange for short sellers to report.

Anyone have bought this must be currently underwater so a lot of patience will be required here....

Perhaps market just sensing the fall is overdone now and the fast selling has been done. I hope so anyway as a) I think it is overdone and b) I'm currently underwater!

bplus,Have you bought back in ? You could be missing the uptrend here.Looks like the bottom was 487.60p

Rumours of an insider trading scandal precipitate a rise in SP?
Might just be coincidental of course but maybe some good news has been leaked this morning.

[noujay] 13/7/2018 10:07

What's happened here? Not going bust after all perhaps!!

[garycook] 13/7/2018 01:57

It seems like 487p atm.But a nice 100,000 Buy at 8.05am.

Irish Examiner reporting the big sale by MS for a hedge fund initially reported by Bloomberg above.

First close below 500p.

What is the support level?

[dennislevine] 12/7/2018 10:51

brexitplus, I share your views. Company just seems to have lost its way, management greedy, questionable acquisitions - there are now just too many questions

Should have been a world beater heading for the FTSE 100, if this carries on they will be heading back to AIM

[brexitplus] 12/7/2018 09:26

Just as an addition, the business model seems to be getting complicated and perhaps not well implemented. Gives me a level of uncertainty.

[brexitplus] 12/7/2018 09:08

Gary, just lots of small things like rumours of inside dealing, remuneration, etc. Credit Suisse comments as above. As said before, something just doesn’t seem right.

I also invest in Melrose, Syncona and Burford Capital. They all come across as straight forward. I have doubts regarding Playtech. Just my opinion.

[garycook] 12/7/2018 08:56

bplus,Explain please ?

[brexitplus] 12/7/2018 08:53

Would like to start reinvesting but I have a gut feeling that I don’t trust the management.

[pireric] 12/7/2018 08:26

Taken a very small punt starter position here

this is daily news (normal) for china - but the people have such a strong gambling mentality that prohibition doesn't work
