Sceptre Leisure plc Information

Sceptre Leisure plc is the holding company for four leading leisure-based gaming suppliers in the UK. The Company listed in London on AIM (TIDM: SCEL) on 30 September 2008 following the acquisition by Gamingking plc of Orb Holdings Limited in a reverse takeover. Orb Holdings was the owner of Sceptre Leisure Solutions Limited (SLS), founded in 1998 by Ken Turner, Sceptre Leisure plc's chief executive. SLS grew both organically and through acquisition until by August 2008 it had become the second largest operator of amusement machines in the licensed retail sector in the UK, supplying pub companies, breweries and independent pubs across the UK. Orb currently has approximately 17,000 machines and operates from a nationwide network of depots supplying a full range of products for rental including AWP, FOBT, pool tables, SWP and Juke boxes. Since listing on AIM in 1996 Gamingking followed a dual strategy of organic growth and acquisition. The original business of Lotteryking Limited, founded in 1993, had grown to become the largest supplier of lottery products to the registered members' club market. Gamingking made a number of acquisitions, most recently Kelly's Eye (No. 1) Limited in 2005 and Playprint Limited in 2007. Following the introduction of the Gambling Act 2005 which was implemented in September 2007, Gamingking began trials of lottery-ticket vending terminals in pubs and other licensed locations, raising money for charities as well as generating commissions for the relevant site and the Company. The reverse acquisition of Orb Holdings in September 2007 has created an enlarged group offering market-leading products and services to the leisure industry. The company delisted on 28 June 2012.
