Inspired Gaming said it is conducting a thorough strategic review of its pubs division.

The news comes after already-anticipated tougher trading deteriorated following the full-year results. Shares were off 26p, or 12% at 184 pence.

The gaming group said it is currently considering a number of strategic options and expects to announce the outcome of the review in the near future. An announcement will be made in time for the interims in June.

Inspired Gaming said the aim of the review is to focus the company's resources on the faster growing gaming and leisure sectors in the UK and international markets.
