PartyGaming wins jackpot of �5 billion

PartyGaming shares swelled yesterday after the company achieved the biggest London flotation in five years. Its market value is now about �5 billion ($9.1-billion U.S.).

Initially, PartyGaming priced its shares at �1.16 each, giving a market value of �4.6-billion and guaranteeing a place in the FT-SE 100-stock index of blue-chip British companies. Amazingly, the stock traded at heights of �1.325 and trading closed 11 per cent higher at �1.29.

Chief executive officer Richard Segal said the group would target Europe and Australia as its main areas for growth, with Asia a 'medium-plus-term' target.

'The reason why we're poker focused is that the group has had extraordinary success there...as a result of that, our other products, casino and bingo, have been to a degree neglected,' he said.
