Party Gaming is an online Gaming company, best known for its poker website but also providing a large selection of casino style on-line games. They have made use of the recent economic turmoil to make acquisitions in relevant business areas as well as signing high visibility deals with companies such as Channel 5 in the developing televised poker market.
