William Hill Casino and the bookmaker's other online products continue to increase in popularity with a second consecutive annual growth of +20%.

Since last year the revenue made by the company's online gaming products had grown almost a quarter. However this increase pales in comparison to the huge 500% increase in mobile revenue which once again emphasises the importance of mobile gambling.

The online casino, which is run in partnership with Playtech had experienced some staffing troubles during the year with many workers refusing to turn up to work following the exit of a prominent figure. However, that trouble doesn't appear to have impacted on their success.

In the fourth quarter of the 2011 the casino experienced even more success and contributed to more positive results. Also proving popular was Hills' online sportsbook and bingo products. Poker was in fact the only product to experience a decrease in revenue.

Looking to the near future, CEO Ralph Topping said: "There are good opportunities for the business beyond our traditional roots as more governments open up to regulated gambling."
