HARRAH’S INTERACTIVE Entertainment, Mangas Gaming and Italy’s Snai are among a total of 15 new entrants in this year’s eGaming Review Power 50 ranking of the 50 most influential egaming companies, EGRmagazine.com can reveal.
Las Vegas giant Harrah’s new interactive arm, headed by former PartyGaming chief executive Mitch Garber, is included due to Harrahs’ sheer brand size and potential influence on US egaming regulatory moves, while Investment fund Mangas Gaming has won a place in the Power 50‘s Top 10 due to the scale it has accumulated after recent deals including acquiring Scandinavia’s Expekt, central Europe-focused operator Bet-at-home and a 75% stake in Betclick.
Also new to the list are lesser known operators such as Chili Gaming, which plans a major push on the French market when France regulates online gaming next year; Gaming Media Group, which has effectively coordinated an online strategy with a TV presence; and Gioco Digitale, an early mover in Italian poker which has managed to survive competition from major networks such as Playtech.
eGaming Review editor Jake Pollard said: “These new entrants testify to the constantly changing nature of the egaming industry and show just how diverse the sector is. While some of the new members of the Power 50 have major scale and reach, others are smaller operators that have grown their revenues and market share simply by intelligent strategy execution.”
The eGaming Review Power 50 is published this week.
