(Sharecast News) - Playtech found itself on the list of director buys on Friday, after its chief executive officer spent almost £0.3m on shares.

The company said Mor Weizer bought 44,425 shares on 25 May, in a single transaction on the London Stock Exchange.

He paid 620.07p for each share, valuing the transaction at £275,464.01.

"This purchase was made in accordance with the requirements of the company's remuneration policy, under which a proportion of the annual bonus is deferred into shares for two years," Playtech said in its disclosure.

Elsewhere, a non-executive director at RS Group spent more than £90k on shares in two separate transactions.

In the first transaction, David Sleath picked up 6,222 shares at 803.5p each, valuing the transaction at £49,993.77.

The second purchase saw Sleath buy 5,226 shares for 803.6p apiece, making that purchase worth £41,996.14.

RS Group said both transactions were made on 25 May on the London Stock Exchange.
