The company reports good results from its first bespoke slot game "40 Shades of Santa" developed in exclusive partnership with Paddy Power saying it exceeded management expectations. Probability expects to expand its exclusive content offering to more customers in the UK and Italy during 2013.
Charles Cohen, chief executive officer of Probability, commenting on the results said:
“We have maintained the momentum which we developed during the first half of the year.
“We are achieving positive ROI on our marketing investment in our UK B2C business after around six months and demand from B2B and White Label is strengthening.
“The contribution from Italy is very encouraging and there are opportunities for even more growth once our slot games are approved under regulations which came into force in December. The agreement we announced in January with Lottomatica further demonstrates our technological leadership in mobile gambling."
