The global gambling industry’s total gross win (a measure of how much money gambling companies make, and their customers lose) is expected to grow 5.6% to $417 billion this year, according to intelligence firm H2 Gambling Capital. 8.1%, or $33.8 billion, will come through interactive, or online, channels, and that is expected to grow to just under 10% by 2015.”

Sebastian execs are confident the parties will reach a collectively beneficial arrangement that will bring additional equity stake and revenues to the company toward an increase in shareholder value . Details are forthcoming.

The company is thrilled with the progress made the last few weeks and is confident in its plans to diversify with entry into the multi-billion dollar online gaming market.

Executives are confident that the work thus far will result in exponential return on investment including near term revenues and are thrilled to be working on finalization of a win-win JV with proficient partners in the online gaming realm.
