Control Data Corp’s ambitions to expand its automated betting systems business overseas (CI No 1,297) have been rewarded with the 10-year contract to operate a system in the UK for Golden Grid Plc, a company formed to run an on-line game called Skilball: no indication of the value of the contract, but Golden Grid is looking for an ambitious UKP1,750m to be spent by gamblers playing the game over the first two years, with UKP500m going to charity.
