Director dealings: Two Playtech directors pick up shares in gaming supplier

Two of Playtech's non-executive directors picked up shares in the online gaming software supplier on Wednesday.

According to the company, John Krumins bought 4,250 and 3,500 shares at 404.0p and 406p, respectively, for a total transaction amount of £31,380.

Following in his footsteps, Jackson purchased another 5,000 shares leaving him £20,447 out of pocket.

As recently as 15 May, the company told shareholders at its annual general meeting that revenues from its regulated business-to-business gaming had continued to show trends "similar" to those in place at the time of its full-year results and that the underlying operational performance of its Sanitech unit had been "very strong", although the Asian market continued to be "highly competitive".
