Sportech PLC to transfer LittlewoodsCasino.com
to Netherlands Antilles Jurisdiction
Sportech PLC ("Sportech" or "the Company"), owner of Littlewoods Gaming, the
UK's leading home gaming company, is relocating its online casino,
Littlewoodscasino.com, from the Isle of Man to the Netherlands Antilles.
The move has been driven by Sportech's desire to offer Littlewoods Casino's
customers new games, including poker and an integrated jackpot product. It is
expected that the relocation will be completed by mid September 2003.
Littlewoodscasino.com will continue to retain CryptoLogic as their software
supplier.
Colin McGill, Managing Director, Sportech PLC said:
"Littlewoods Casino has enjoyed an excellent launch and a successful first year
of trading. Transfer of the site to the Netherlands Antilles will enable us to
develop a broader range of games and provide our customers with an enhanced
gaming experience."
