PUNCH TAVERNS LAUNCHES ONLINE CASINO

19 October 2007

Cantor Gaming provides the power


Cantor Gaming staffers at the recent EiG Expo in Barcelona hinted at a major online casino launch for a UK company in the near future (see previous InfoPowa report) and they were good as their word - Pub-casino.co.uk went operational this week, owned by the giant British pub and entertainment group Punch Taverns.

Licensed in Malta, Pub-casino.co.uk offers a good range of casino games including blackjack, roulette, video poker, slots and baccarat. Further poker and bingo products will be added subsequently.

Manu Gambhir, Managing Director at Cantor Gaming said, “We are delighted to be working with a number of pub companies including Punch Taverns. We look forward to the success of the online pub-casino solution and the continued popularity of online gaming around the world.”

Chris Butler, Head of Gaming at Punch Taverns plc said: “Cantor has developed a great new concept that will allow us to retain and attract customers in our pubs. Through our expertise in the pub industry and Cantor Gaming’s expertise within gaming, we look forward to the many benefits that will undoubtedly arise through this partnership.”

The new venue is offering matchplay bonuses up to GBP 400 to attract players.

Cantor Gaming powered two other online casinos, FHM Casino and Cantor Casino, now apparently closed. The company took over the gambling software provider Kismet International this year, absorbing CEO Manu Gambhir into the Cantor management structure and adding operations like Red Lounge, Toon and Private to its client list. Earlier this year there were reports that the company is also involved in developing a Europe-facing online casino for the giant US land casino group Las Vegas Sands Inc.
