At OnlinePokie4U, we are always pleased to see local gaming developers doing well in the gambling market. It is great to see what a fantastic year that Aristocrat has had, as the local poker machine manufacturer has seen impressive expansion internationally. Overall, Aristocrat has seen a 10.2% increase in net profits up to $118.1 million. The company has seen tremendous growth in the international gaming market.
From land-based poker machines to online operations, Aristocrat is thriving. In the online gaming world, Aristocrat has seen revenue worth $47.5 million. The company has released a wide range of online pokies this year, available at various popular online casinos. With more online gaming sites offering up Aristocrat-powered online pokies, the company is seeing greater exposure that will continue to boost profits in 2015.
One of the most significant statistics is that land-based poker machine installation has increased by 20% in North America. Over the course of 2014, casinos across North America installed 9,071 new pokies from Aristocrat. This is likely due to the release of Aristocrat’s The Walking Dead poker machine. It was one of the best-selling new pokie releases of the year, and certainly had an impact on the company’s profits.
"Our 2014 result extends our record of consistent net profit growth, with high-quality games and products sustaining robust operational performance despite increased competition and mixed conditions across our key markets," Aristocrat Leisure chief executive Jamie Odell said in an interview with Morning Star.
2014 was certainly a great year for Aristocrat. We are very excited to see what’s to come from the company in the coming year. There is plenty of room for growth in both the online and land-based gaming markets, and Aristocrat will certainly thrive in 2015.
