3D_GraphIt was a good end to the week for basically all the publicly listed players in the online casino industry.

Partygaming had a particularly good close to the week’s trading and finished at 231.10 which was up 5.70 on Thursday to give a 2.53% price rise from the previous day.

888 Holdings was also up at 96.50 which was up .50 or 0.52% on the back of a relatively low trading volume.

Although gains were modest, Paddy Power also finished up by 0.02% on 22.0044.

While it is not always the case, the online casino software provider, Cryptologic does in most cases tend to be a good barometer of the sector because it’s fortunes are so closely tied to those of its retail partners. At the end of the week’s trading 4.13 was t eh closing price for Cryptologic which is 0.01 of a raise or 0.24%.

It will be very interesting to see if these positive trends continue when markets reopen tomorrow morning.
