Elsewhere, profit after tax increased by 53.8% to SEK374 million, with earnings per share also jumping from SEK6.09 to SEK9.34 after dilution.

Other key results for the 12-month period include NetEnt signing 43 new licence agreements and the launch of 37 new customers’ casinos, while the corporate has proposed a dividend of SEK8 per share, up from SEK5 last year.
