In Australia’s business world, gaming operators are some of the most successful companies. Since gambling is a popular pastime among adult residents, it is no wonder that companies like IGT, Aristocrat and Ainsworth perform well on the stock market. In 2012, these companies continued to thrive, seeing impressive increases in their revenue and share prices.

According to finance blog, Bull.com.au, Aristocrat was one of the most successful gaming operators of 2012. Aristocrat has the majority of the market share in Australia, Singapore and Macau, but it is the company’s increasingly prevalent presence in other important gaming markets around the world that have contributed to its growth.

Aristocrat games have seen a great deal of interest in essential markets like Las Vegas and in casinos across Europe, where gambling is also a common pastime. Over the course of the year, Aristocrat experienced a 29.7% revenue increase while shareholders saw a generous 140% increase.

While these results are quite impressive, financial analysts are still keeping their eyes on the company, as there is still doubt that Aristocrat can maintain its financial success. This year, Ainsworth also saw impressive results. What is interesting about Ainsworth is that the founder of this company eventually went on to establish Aristocrat Gaming – and both companies have thrived this year.

Ainsworth is known across Australia for its dedication to gaming excellence, providing gaming clubs with great games and convenient customer support. While the company is based in Australia, Ainsworth is making plans to enter America’s newly regulated gaming market. In 2012, Ainsworth’s profits far exceeded expectations.

At the beginning of the year, it was estimated that the company would see 25% growth but, in reality, Ainsworth’s profits grew by 49%. Share prices increased from $0.49 to $2.87 over the course of the year, and financial analysts are confident that Ainsworth’s success will continue well into 2013 – especially if the company is planning to enter the lucrative American gambling market.
