Strong growth in the Americas helped Playtech deliver a sharp rise in first-half earnings.
Inflation-adjusted profit remained the third-lowest June-quarter level since comparable reporting began in 2015, despite the nominal record.
The operator reported rises across the board as online operations grew ahead of the market, as Sunbet brokers a new Yggdrasil partnership.
The Danish operator reported increases in gross gaming revenue and profit after tax, with online casino and its new poker platform supporting first-half growth.
The Finnish operator reported higher sales revenue and profit for the first half of 2026, while international B2B subsidiary Fennica Gaming increased revenue by 80.6%.
Two Macau gaming-related companies have reported mixed first-half results amid shifting market conditions.
Macau’s hotel sector posted stronger occupancy despite a decline in guest numbers.
Shin Hwa World reported improved H1 2026 results, supported by higher revenue and a narrower net loss.
Gaming equipment supplier shifts focus following the end of its Macau casino management business.
Macau Legend Development expects a substantially smaller loss for the first half of 2026, primarily because it recorded no impairment charge comparable with the previous year’s HK$1.27bn provision.
