888 Has `Encouraging' Start to 2007, Helped by New Online Games



"888 Holdings Plc, the second-largest U.K. Internet gambling company, has had an ``encouraging'' start to 2007 after introducing new games and recruiting more customers.

That will maintain its momentum during the traditionally quieter second quarter, Gibraltar-based 888 said today in a Regulatory News Service statement.

888 lost about half its sales in October when a U.S. crackdown on Internet gambling cut the company off from its main market. In response, 888 raised research spending to a record $19 million and introduced a new casino game almost every month in 2006's last quarter. This year, it has added games such as Crazy Blackjack."
