Up nearlly 15% today and I beleive there could be more to come.
Evil Knievil has tipped it on EvilCast and has bought in 100,000 worth of stock a notifiable interest. He rates the management very highly and says they are attracting all the big bookmakers to the online casino site including punters the likes of William Hill, Chandler, and Ladbrokes. The company are now running at a profit every month and should break into a yearly profit from the years previous loss very soon. The company also ownes in partnership with a Swiss firm Boss another casino site and by all accounts that is doing well.
Im looking at this one as a momentum play pretty high risk as there are competitors out there but I feel the management will give it the edge.
Please DYOR, and remember you are responsible for your own buying and selling actions.
cheers GF.

In the light of GMC's tremendous moves forward this year, I was expecting a
less conservative brokers report CONCLUSIONS then what was published.
However, if the report is read carefully the detailed information contained
within it gives the best full appraisal even done on GMC.
Casino.co.uk - "Attracting over 3 million unique vists in March 05 alone and
was ranked the No 1 UK gaming website, attracting 21% of all UK gaming trafic,
greater than Betfair (13%), Ladbrokes (6%), or William Hill (6%)".
"Each banner click earns the company 2.50 while the casino earns revenues from players wagers"
They mentioned the Orange tie in (New product channel), but as this is a ground
breaking deal (new market, never been done before) hardly any projections have
been done with it. This area has the potential to be the biggest part of GMC's
operations. Justin did say that they are talking to ALL the network providers
at the moment, furthermore the profit figure of 3.15m in the 1st year rising to
6.3m in the second year came from the research Orange had done and from JD.
Earnings Summary. (Year end 30th Sept)
The 2005E is for a 143% increase in Net revenue
...................165% increase in Gross profit
Based on SP of 14p x 143% = 34p
The 2006E is for a 158% increase in Net revenue
...................180% increase in Gross profit
Based on SP of 34p x 158% = 87p
Remember this is with little of the Orange turnover factored in (40k in F06)
as there is no past figures to work on this will be adjusted as the business grows.
The 24p price target is based on their three-stage DCF model, which is further
discounted by 11.1%. (Page 17 of the report)
The DCF model is based on 5 companies in three sectors, Internet Gaming
Software, Internet Gaming Operations, and Online Bookmakers, one of which has
a market cap of 1,035m, another of 864m.
In conclusion I believe it is not a case of 'If' GMC will hit the 24p target,
but how quickly. I would suggest that serious investors take time to read and
fully digest the report as good interest should be found with GMC when it is
fully appraised.

In IC today:
Friday 20/05/05
Gaming Corporation has not been slow to capitalise on the booming online gaming market. A string of acquisitions and new business lines have equipped it with the largest gambling internet search portfolio in the world. Its Casino.co.uk site is the most visited gaming site in the UK, attracting over 3m visitors a month. These visitors can catch up on gaming news and follow links to other sites.
And earlier this month, Gaming Corp snapped up Gambling.com, the leading gaming search engine, with links to over 500 affiliate sites. Both Gambling.com and Casino.co.uk generate revenue on a pay-per-click basis as visitors follow links. Previously, Gaming Corp collected fixed fees from advertisers, but it moved to a pay-per-click model in January, and has seen significant improvements in profitability.
In April, the company entered the mobile gaming market in a deal with Orange to offer nine mobile-handset-based games.

Gaming Corporation has established a strong position in the online gaming arena, and is making progress towards profitability. The shares' liquidity has also improved, with several large institutions building stakes. Good value.

I think its been mentioned on the board before about patience, and I'm sticking with a full year horizon. When I get the necessary funds another batch will be brought then just sit back and watch this tick away.....

Have been watching this since unloading earlier in year. The recent director buys are negligible when compared to the M's they sold in early March.

I am hoping to build a fair size stake and wait too--with the market all over the place at the moment it's nice to feel fairly confident in a company. there were large director sells earlier in the year but they were supposed to be satisfying institutional demands. high hopes with this one!

Hi Belisce, I got impatient with GMC a month or so ago. Mobile marketing is a dimension of the industry I'm involved with myself. Although we've always regarded it with heaps of potential it's never really wow'd us to any extent, and it's still regarded as an incidental revenue stream as oppose to anything worth really investing in. After some thought I fancy mobile gambling will follow suit, I'd like to be wrong but I don't think it will have the same impact as internet gambling, just like m commerce is a fraction of the industry e commerce currently is. It's a difficult one to call, I'm watching closely.

thanks Chiva20.....the mobile thing was slightly worrying me as well........because i was thinking that to get thru to people, are they allowed to send unsolicited advertising for it ? - i thought not.....
i thought that the customer would have to initially ask for access on their mobile.....not to sure about any of this......
I also tend to think that the people that internet-gamble generally do it at work when bored, or in the evening at home when bored.....so they may in fact not want to gamble on their mobile; as there will be no need to.
However, on the other hand; i suppose it (GMC going to mobile-gambling) is all about trying to tap into the people that are simply hooked on it......

Belisce, agreed completely. The permission issues you mention are spot on aswell, although as with all of these things no doubt they'll find a way around it somehow, but I imagine it will be a temporary hindrance and an area for negative publicity. I play poker online etc. occasionally and I would only really do that at home when bored as you say. I think most mobile gaming is active primarily in the under 18's demographic which naturally doesn't fit the gambling profile. I am guessing here though. They may tap into the hooked market but this is only a fraction of the 'bored market' (shall we call them), I just can't see this crossing into mass market as GMC would like to portray.
All IMO, I was bullish about GMC once upon a time but I've changed opinion more recently. Good luck all
