Playtech saw its profits jump by a record 37 percent in the six months to June 30, boosted by growing demand for online poker. The Aim-listed gambling software provider said profits in the period came in at 32.8 million euros compared to 24 million euros last year, while revenue rose to 56.7 million euros compared to 51.6 million euros a year earlier. Shares in the group added 15 pence to 347.75 pence after it announced that its deal to develop software for William Hill's gambling website was back on track. Playtech said that an 8.9 cents interim dividend will be paid on October 23.
