Daniel Kashti, Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer at KamaGames said “It’s been a great year in a very competitive landscape and to see 40%+ growth in revenue year on year is a great testament to the quality of our portfolio and everyone’s hard work on daily basis. Pokerist, which is now marking its 7th anniversary, continues to show growth and is performing extremely well in terms of keeping existing and new players engaged and excited through its constant evolution.
We are very proud of what we have achieved this year but we wouldn’t have been able to do it without the support of our partners and of course our millions of players around the world. As we look to the next 12 months, we are going to continue to provide the most realistic, exciting and fairest gaming experience through boosting our gaming offering by deepening the playing experience of our current games as well as introducing new games and new gaming experiences on new and emerging technology platforms. We are positive that players are going to be as passionate about our new titles being launched later this year as they are with Pokerist, Blackjackist, Roulettist and Baccarist”.
