The Biggest Name in Online Slots is Creating at Least 100 New Jobs
LONDON, September 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, 888 announced cut backs of overheads to the tune of $6,000,000, PWin (sic) have confirmed similar figures of over EUR50,000,000 and that always means jobs will be lost.
At a time when the other major players are cutting back, we're doing the exact opposite and need to fill 100 positions in the soon-to-be-launched Slots.com. What's the catch? Working in Gibraltar, Alderney or the Isle of Man I suppose? Nope, London or Barcelona, actually!
Slots.com, the second most powerful generic gaming domain, was bought at a Snapnames.com online auction by BodogBrand.com for nearly GBP4,000,000. Bodog is, itself, the biggest brand in online gaming*.
Slots.com will operate as an independent company and coupled with its existing dominance - by virtue of its domain - and the drive of the new company personnel, the brand plans to become the largest player in not only online slots, but also casino too. Beyond the launch stage, the site will also look to host a full featured casino including live dealer options.
Brand trust in this industry is vital and slots.com will be given the full brand treatment that has made Bodog a global giant in online gaming but with a very different twist. The female market has proved to be a genuine growth area in recent years, yet only bingo brands have concentrated on creating sites dedicated to that market. Slots.com will change that.
Added to which, we believe that Slots.com is the best gaming domain in the world, after casino.com. Bigger, even, than Poker.com because there are no strong brands in this space and slots are far more universal than poker - just look at the amount of space a casino devotes to slots over poker - also, it's simple to spell and easy to remember
During the launch phase, the company is looking to recruit a minimum of 100 new employees in all areas of a gaming company from IT to Marketing and all points in between. Inevitably, beyond that initial stage we will require more talent as the company grows.
When most companies are scaling back, we feel this is an opportunity for experienced talent to grab the challenge of a well funded launch. If that's you, then email your CV to: [email protected].
