Top Casino Stocks To Watch For 2018


” Even as I approach the gambling hall, as soon as I hear, two rooms away, the jingle of money poured out on the table, I almost go into convulsions.” /Fyodor Dostoevsky

The newly legislated entry into the global gaming market by Japan has raised prospects of a $30 billion market forming within the first five years of operation. As the implications of this game changing development sink into the market the clear, immediate winners will be the global gaming giants we alluded to in our SA post on December 6 th. Assuming enabling legislation and licensee announcements proceed as planned before the end of 2017, those stocks will have already started to move north on the news alone.

But the potential bounty will go beyond gaming operators to include the makers of gaming equipment and casino monitoring systems for whom we also see an upside future on the Japan news. For now we look at a single global giant in the field, International Gaming Technology (NYSE: IGT). Japanese companies we likewise believe could share in the business like Konami, Sega Sammy (preparing to open its own casino in South Korea this spring) and Aruze. More on investment possibilities in those companies at a later date.
