Update: Slingo ticks all the boxes

The $18m acquisition of the popular Slingo brand, platform and related assets is an important step for Gaming Realms. It takes it into the US and brings in a social games portfolio, with significant potential for growth and already crossing over into real-money gaming. Product and marketing investment pushes our target break-even date out to early 2016, but we then forecast a rapid scaling in group profits. A 2017e EV/EBITDA of only 4.4x suggests material share price upside once the recent share placing is digested, with interim results (late September) the next catalyst.
