Blog: Make content unique so it can stand out from the pack for the right reasons

Make content unique so it can stand out from the pack for the right reasons
Casino, Poker, Bingo, Table Games, Hollywood Slot Games, Casino Classics: PartyGaming Does It All, by Greg Tingle
PartyCasino, PartyPoker, Club World Poker Tour - London Stock Exchange powerhouse - meet the Ace of the igaming world
The world's leading igaming company, PartyGaming is on a roll as of late.
Having come to terms with the United States Department of Justice earlier this year, PartyGaming have become quite the darling of the igaming, gaming and news media world.
PartyGaming has been on a purchasing and acquisitions mission recently picking up Cashcade and World Poker Tour, and is poised to come to more major business deals in the Asia Pacific and South American regions. It's global strategy also sees Party eyeing off India and France, whose government's appear open, even positive, to see a deal inked. PartyGaming has also been able to talk shop with Australia's Crown Casino resulting in sending online poker players in the direction of Crown's Aussie Millions Poker Tournament via its celebrated PartyPoker.com brand.
As PartyGaming CEO, Jim Ryan, has pointed out a number of times this financial year, PartyCasino is a key driver in the business and the Hollywood themed online slot games have been a huge success, as has their "Live Dealer" product, enabled by Evolution Gaming. While PartyCasino secured the rights to WagerWorks classic titles last year, Cleopatra, Monopoly and Cluedo, Party was able to build the portfolio with its own in-house team.
Online poker remains the company's bread and butter, despite PartyPoker.com not currently accepting U.S customers. However, Party's purchase and running of Club WPT means that United States citizens can now enjoy a PartyGaming product without any question of legals. The World Poker Tour brand will also almost certainly enable PartyGaming to facilitate some major news media and television deals, which will further grow the company's bottom line and brand.
Casino fans... now the information you've been waiting for... more world class online slot games are on the cards for PartyCasino, following the recent releases, Tarzan, Sinatra, High Noon, Resident Evil and The Naked Gun. Names being speculated include Andre The Giant, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, The Expendables, The Sopranos, Sonic, Underbelly, Hilton, UFC, TNA and Marvel. Again, those brands are speculation, but some of these have made print, and as they say, where there's smoke, there's fire! PartyGaming already offers four Marvel themed online slot games and the Marvel Hero Jackpot, and modern classic, The Godfather, remains one of the most popular slots networked into the world famous Gold Mega Jackpot, currently exceeding $4 million dollars! If you got excited by Cleo, Rambo and Tarzan, just wait till you see what lurks around the corner. Australia's NextGen Gaming has been teasing some journalists and insiders on some massive brands going live on PartyCasino, and that's no spin. The online casino brand also offers 24/7/365 support and comes in a wide range of multi currency and multi language options. Not convinced yet? Players and potential players can also play for free or play for money, so you know your in safe hands.
PartyGaming is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has been operating for over a decade, which is like a lifetime in the gaming world. PartyGaming has also made this year's eGaming Review and Casino News Media shortlist for a number of awards and commendations.
While some of PartyGaming's competitors are putting out some impressive products from time to time, those in the know state that there is only one PartyGaming and that their track record of stability, service, security, innovation and fun speaks for itself.
*the writer has a b2b agreement in place with a number of PartyGaming brands, as they do with dozens of brands in the gaming and igaming sector, the details of which are commercially sensitive in nature. The writer is the founder and director of Media Man, Media Man International and Global Gaming Directory.

Virgin's Branson may bid for Camelot lottery - 7th November 2009
Sir Richard Branson hopes as deadline nears for Camelot lottery sale
The owners of Camelot, the National Lottery operator, have given potential bidders for the business about two weeks to table their opening offers.
The auction could result in Sir Richard Branson, who lost out in his bid to operate the National Lottery several times, taking over the company. Other potential bidders include private equity houses and overseas lottery operators.
In April, four of Camelot’s five shareholders — Thales, Fujitsu, Cadbury and De La Rue — appointed Greenhill and NM Rothschild, the investment banks, to sell their stakes in the business.
A fifth shareholder, Royal Mail, is not part of the sale process, at present, but it could decide at the end of the auction to sell its stake to a winning bidder.
All five shareholders own equal 20 per cent stakes in Camelot.
It is believed that Sir Richard, head of the Virgin Group, has sounded out leading charities since the summer to discuss whether they would team up with him to make a bid.
Camelot makes an annual profit of about £30 million. The sale of 80 per cent of the business could fetch as much as £250 million.
It is thought that the valuation reflects the long-term value of the profits available, with insiders having dismissed as unrealistic talk that the lottery franchise could be worth as much as £350 million.
Apart from Sir Richard, other bidders linked with the auction include Sugal & Damani, the Indian lottery giant that bid for the UK lottery licence two years ago.
Cadbury, the confectionery group, and Thales, the French defence and electronics company, are thought to be most aggressively seeking a sale. Cadbury is the subject of a £10.2 billion takeover bid by Kraft, the American food group.
Camelot has long stuck to the once-controversial principle that it is a profit-seeking operator. It has fought off two challenges in the past from non-profit bids fronted by Sir Richard’s People’s Lottery.
Tensions around whether the operator makes money have eased in recent years, with Sir Richard refusing to participate in the third licence round.
Eighty per cent of Camelot’s income over ten years is believed to be worth about £280 million. Buyers are likely to offer less than that amount to ensure that they leave a profit for themselves.
The possibility of operators receiving extra cash derives from any value placed on the possibility that the lottery franchise could be extended for another five years.
As part of their bid for the licence, the shareholders agreed with the National Lottery Commission to cut costs from 5 per cent of turnover to 4 per cent and reduce profits from 0.5 per cent to between 0.3 and 0.4 per cent. This agreement was introduced the last time that the operator’s licence was renewed in August 2007.
Lottery ticket and scratchcard sales have risen, despite the recession. Any buyer would have to be approved by the commission.
The Government is thought to be monitoring the situation particularly closely because of Camelot’s promise that it will provide £2.2 billion for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
