Leading online bingo operator Playtech have brought out Virtue Fusion for a sum of £36 million, in a move that has surprised many in the industry. As one of the fastest growing operators, Virtue Fusion have recently made a number of important acquisitions in the past few months, including deals with PartyGaming and Cashcade, both of which are big players in the industry. With consistent growth in the internet bingo market, operators are growing their bingo stables rapidly, and as player numbers increase, operators aim to be at the top of the industry.
With Playtech now in control of Virtue Fusion, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the bingo industry in the next few months. Another key operator is Dragonfish, who run popular bingo sites such as Bingo Gringo. As of yet, they have managed to stay fairly independent; as they focus on growing their stable of games and increasing the high levels of quality in their games. One thing is for sure, bingo players have never had more choice when it comes to choosing a site.
