I think it's normal. The industry is going through a lot of changes and sports bets are becoming more and more popular and they still had growth and it's ok to have it a bit slower- I'm sure they will get it back up during next quarter!
Well I don't know if the Euro- Pound rate is the main reason for the NetEnt step back in the last months or even the past year, I think it's has more of a connection with their latest game releases and I don't think right now they are one of the two leading game developers in the sector as it was back then.
So all that and probably a few other reasons has more to do with their current drop in numbers than the currencies rates.
Their financial performance is still very good. And the future is bright with many good news.
