Since the first internet casino was launched in 1996, the
online gambling industry has been among the fastest growing industries in the
world. In February 2015, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Center for Gaming
Research reported that total online gaming revenue in the United States was
just under $11.7 million, despite the fact that just three states – Nevada,
Delaware and New Jersey – have legalized any form of online gaming.
While this report demonstrates the considerable demand for
online gaming, the market’s true potential is more difficult to illustrate. In
part, this is because of the sheer lack of available research regarding the
global online gaming market, but reports regarding the popularity of the
gambling industry as a whole highlight a strong demand for innovative gaming
options in a collection of markets.
According to IBISWorld, the global casino and online
gambling industry has trended upward over the past five years, growing to $274
billion in 2015. The research firm also suggests that strong growth will
continue moving forward, driven by heightened demand for gambling options in
China and other Asian nations.
On Tuesday, Coastal Integrated Services took a major step
toward capitalizing on this projected growth by entering into a definitive
merger agreement to acquire Olympian Group, an international online casino and
sportsbook operator. Gr88.com, Olympian’s sports betting and casino brand,
recorded over $14 million in gambling bets in 2014, realizing a year-over-year
increase of 374 percent. In an effort to build on this growth, COLV outlined
intentions to introduce the Gr88.com brand to the Asian market in the coming
months.
“Our first order of business will be to launch into targeted
Asian markets,” Clifford Redekop, newly-appointed chief executive officer of
COLV, stated in a news release. “We know we have something special with this
brand and will focus on Gr88 as our flagship site with significant marketing
and driving brand recognition.”
In addition to providing a platform upon which to promote
financial growth, COLV is also using the Olympian Group acquisition to initiate
a corporate reorganization that’s expected to position it to qualify for NASDAQ
listing within the next year. For prospective shareholders, this aggressive
growth strategy makes COLV an intriguing investment opportunity.
