GigaMedia
Ltd.
is
an
online
casino
and
poker
company,
and
with
their
recently
released
financial
results
they
are
showing
a
seven
year
high
with
their
numbers.
The
company
was
a
broadband
company
that
was
not
doing
so
well,
until
they
started
the
switch
to
online
gambling
and
entertainment
–
and
from
there
they
took
off.
The
online
gambling
company
owns
a
large
range
of
online
casinos,
including
but
not
limited
to:
CasinoLux.com,
CasinoTreasure.com,
Casino
Elegance.com,
and
Casino
Glamour.com.
They
are
also
the
company
behind
the
ever
popular
EverestPoker.com,
the
world’s
largest
online
poker
site.
The
company
has
a
large
European
and
Asian
presence,
and
with
these
additions
to
their
empire
they
are
showing
record
highs
for
their
stock.
It
recently
shot
up
to
$23
a
share
after
experts
said
that
they
could
greatly
benefit
from
their
relations
in
Europe.
The
European
Commission
has
been
working
on
getting
countries
such
as
France
and
Germany
to
participate
in
their
free-trade
policies,
and
with
it
looking
like
they
are
finally
making
some
headway
there,
companies
such
as
GigaMedia
are
set
to
expand
and
truly
take
advantage
of
the
new
regulations.
They
also
have
the
benefit
of
having
a
strong
Asian
presence
which
helps
greatly.
Asia
is
considered
to
be
the
last
bastion
of
hope
for
many
online
gambling
companies
as
many
of
the
other
markets
are
becoming
oversaturated
due
to
the
U.S.
restrictions
on
online
gambling.
Having
a
large
presence
in
Asia
allows
the
company
to
make
use
of
its
license
to
offer
and
operate
multi-player
online
gambling
games
in
China,
Hong
Kong,
Macau
and
Taiwan.
The
company
saw
the
future
of
online
gambling
in
Asia
and
took
steps
to
get
a
foothold
there
before
many
other
companies
even
thought
about
it.
