Avigur Zmora, Playtech's Head of Business Development, said the work the company was currently undertaking would drive up next years profits above analysts' forecasts.
‘The upgrade in the numbers will probably be in the 2008 numbers. As far as 2007 it's in-line with our expectations the numbers that are out there seems to be OK,’ he said.
