$364 million-$374 million, higher than its previous forecast of
between $344 million and $354 million.
Amaya, which owns gambling websites PokerStars and Full Tilt,
also raised its 2016 adjusted earnings forecast to a range of
$1.87-$1.92 per share from $1.78-$1.83.
The company said it expects revenue of $1.15 billion to $1.16
billion for 2016, as compared with its previous forecast of

retire later this year once his successor is identified and
appointed.
