Gamesys is the parent company of Jackpotjoy.com, a website licensed in Curacao, which is a leader in the soft gaming market with more than 500,000 players.
The company is believed to be in the final stages of talks with financial advisers about a possible £100m floatation.
Michael Mee, Gamesys\’ Finance Director, confirmed they\’re looking at strategic options, “possibly a float on the AIM or a sale to a larger gaming group.”
