PartyGaming CEO Addresses Gaming Executive Summit

9th July 2009

Madrid, Spain

PartyGaming CEO, Jim Ryan, spoke at the Gaming Executive Summit earlier today.

Mr Ryan said "The world is changing as regulation takes different shape in different markets. But upcoming regulation means new entrants and competition in the market, and I worry less about direct competitors such as those sitting on this panel than I do about government-licensed operators and major media firms targeting their power markets in the future.”

Also on the panel were Bwin co-chief executive Norbert Teufelberger, 888 chief executive Gigi Levy and Playtech chief executive Mor Weizer.

PartyGaming to build first grassroots poker team; Signs Ian Fraser - 26th June 2009

PartyPoker is to create its first ever grassroots poker team to compete at major poker events.

PartyPoker.com has previously stayed out of the player sponsorship market with the exception of main site ambassador Mike Sexton, but has sponsored UK player Ian Frazer as the new team’s first member.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “The sponsored player and grassroots team initiative will continue to grow, with all VIPs reviewed for suitability. We are looking for players that have shown themselves to have star quality in their play but who are also fun, humorous and possess a strong character and willingness to co-operate. Our extensive international television distribution gives players the chance of brilliant exposure.”

VIPs, loyal players and players with historic links to PartyPoker will form the basis of the team.

Ian ‘The Raiser’ Frazer, a 50-year-old building contractor from London with live tournament winnings of over US$1.3m, started playing online at the site in 2004, and has finished on the final table of five offline Party tournaments.

Frazer will host invitation-only private tournaments on PartyPoker.com and represent PartyPoker.com at events at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, on which he has started blogging on the PartyPoker blog.

PARTY GAMING LAUNCHES GLOBAL CAMPAIGN WITH REGIONAL AGENCIES

19th June 2009

Party Gaming has launched a global campaign for its Party Casino and Party Poker brands with TV ads devised by Leeds agency Home and shot by Hollywood director Paul WS Anderson.

It is the Event Horizon director's first work for a UK agency since signing with The Mob – which produced the ads – in December last year. His first ad was a VW spot for DDB Berlin shot in March.

Post production was split between 422 in Manchester, which handled the Party Casino ad, and London's Smoke & Mirrors and Triangle which worked on the Party Poker commercial.

Anderson shot the ads on blue screen over four days at Shepperton Studios in London and chose Fatboy Slim's 'Ya Mama' as the soundtrack.

“There was a lot to do in such a short space of time but, as a film director, Paul was more than capable of dealing with a tight deadline and the pressures they can bring,” said John Brocklehurst, managing director of The Mob, which is based in Manchester.

“He is currently taking time out from film-making to write, but loves to shoot and wanted to use the time to work on some commercials.”

Visual FX, CGI and audio were added by 422, with 30 and 60 second cuts made for broadcast on terrestrial and satellite TV channels as well as online.

John Sharp, creative director at 422, said: “Our challenge was to create a virtual visual casino environment with a series of animated casino games, such as roulette, blackjack and slots.

“We projected this onto a glass screen using elements of actual online game play and we even created 'cyber chips' that turned into real poker chips as the games came to life."

The ads are appearing on ITV, Channel 4, Sky, IDS and MTV channels in the UK, while 422 is now cutting idents for sponsorship deals around the world.

PartyGaming Is Going Online With Five - 17th June 2009

Leading listed online gaming operator PartyGaming has signed an exclusive agreement with Channel 5 Broadcasting Limited to create a Five-branded online bingo and casino service targeting the UK market.

This is PartyGaming’s fourth business-to-business deal in 2009 and it stated that the online service would be launched in the second half of the year.

“With more than 30 million viewers each week and a household entertainment brand, Five is an important addition to our expanding business-to-business portfolio,” said Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer for PartyGaming.

“We are confident of securing more business-to-business deals in the coming months as we match our eGaming talents and assets with the consumer reach of other companies around the world.”

Five has already launched a popular video-on-demand catch-up service, Demand Five, and has begun expansion into key vertical markets with FiveFWD, an advertiser supported portal for young men featuring content from two of the broadcaster’s key programme brands, The Gadget Show and Fifth Gear.

“Five is looking aggressively at how to expand its presence in digital media both in terms of its core broadcast content as well as allied offerings that reflect the channel’s unique sense of dynamism and fun,” said Dawn Airey, Chair and Chief Executive for Five.

“We look forward to a long and prosperous partnership with PartyGaming, whose job it will be to create for Five’s audience the very best gaming experience.”
