Over the last year, we at Bingo Street have been predicting a consolidation of the online gaming industry that would have far-reaching implications for the online bingo games sector.  News today that 888.com and Cryptologic have signed a major deal in which 888.com will be selecting Cryptologic’s games for its future operations is another indication that industry consolidation is taking place.

While this is not a merger, it does show a pattern by which major industry movers are seeking alliances and relationships amongst themselves to enhance their competitive advantage.

We all know that 888.com is a major online bingo operator through its 888ladies.com online bingo hall while CryptoLogic is a major provider of online bingo games software.  It will be interesting to see how this relationship pans out over the year and if it will provoke similar deals between other major online bingo industry players.
