of MECN's Gambling Investment Database a second edition of the database
has now been released in a new report. Currently, about 75 financial
investors and companies active in the gambling industry are registered
in the database and are featured in the report.
The gambling and gaming industry offers a wealth of investment
opportunities, and more and more financial investors are increasingly
eager to find attractive investment targets. But there is not much
information available about investment opportunities in the gambling
industry; therefore, this report and the investment database are
intended as intermediaries between investors and the gambling industry.
The report features investors and investment targets that are currently
registered in the MECN investment database. All companies presented are
either financial investors looking for attractive investment targets in
the gambling industry or gambling companies seeking funding.
And so far the reaction has been very positive. As Martin Oelbermann,
director of MECN, states, "After the positive feedback on the first
edition of the database, we are thrilled with the steadily growing
number of investors wanting to fund gambling companies, and we're even
more impressed with the variety of gambling companies registered."
In summary, the following basic conclusions can be drawn regarding
investors (16 entries) and companies (60 entries) registered:
- The investors are mainly corporate investors, private equity
companies, and private investors.
- Top investment preferences among the registered investors are
companies in the online gambling and in the land-based casino sector.
- The investors represented offer a wide variety of potential investment
volumes. Investments start from below USD 2 million and can range up to
an investment of over USD 100 million.
- Of the investment targets registered, about 50% are in the online
gambling business; the second largest group are technology/service
providers, and land-based casinos are the third largest group.
- Most companies are looking for funding for the early and the expansion
phases and ask for a funding volume of USD 1 to 10 million.
- Most registered investment targets are located in Europe, followed by
North America and Asia.
In addition, the report includes a comprehensive list of private equity
companies active in the gambling/gaming industry.
The study can be obtained at http://www.investments.mecn.net. MECN will
continue updating the database and invites interested investors and
companies to register (free of charge) under the same website.
