3D Poker developer's losses approach a million GBP
Shares in the online gaming developer PlayWize plc (formerly Bits Corp plc) headed south this week after the company announced that losses for the half year have grown considerably.
Turnover for the six months to September was GBP46 000 compared with GBP32 000 in the same period last year, but pre-tax losses for the period rose to GBP 915 000 versus GBP 66 000.
The group said the passing of anti-online gambling legislation in the US had a negative impact on the industry as a whole.
