Wednesday 17th May 2006
Trident Entertainment Group, based in Kahnawake, Canada, is in discussions with Gibraltar-based Carmen Media Group about a possible merger of their products.
If the deal goes ahead, the merged company will consist of 10 top online casinos, 4 poker rooms on the Prima Poker Network and a sportsbook powered by LudoLogic.
Trident spokesperson Micki Oster, said, “These are some of the best known and popular names in Internet gambling. In fact, the existing TEG brands will benefit from Carmen Media's considerable experience and strengths in areas such as marketing and customer relationship management.”
Oster will retain executive responsibilities for the North American, Canadian and Asian markets. She commented that more emphasis would be placed on expanding Japanese activities.
Ashley Head, CEO of Carmen Media Group said, “These moves towards consolidation rather than competition, especially in exciting new growth areas where we have both been successful in building market share, can only be of mutual benefit.”
The following major Microgaming-powered brands are involved in the proposed plan.
