Playtech PLC

And look, it's not like no one's watching anymore, right? You're not seeing Evolution.

You're not seeing Playtech.

You're not seeing all of those companies on there.

And the reason for that is they don't want to get the smoke.

Fine, they might run into a few hurdles every now and then.

There's obviously the whole thing with the, the thing with Playtech that was covered a lot last year.

They had that, um, that, uh, uh, enforcement settlement of the Gambling Commission over here in the UK, didn't they, recently? So it's like, like all businesses, they've run into some hurdles, but they've not been in a position where they're looking for a, a buyout, and I think if you were to try and put a, yeah, an offer in for someone like Evolution, you'd have to really make it worth their while, which obviously this, this bid from Candlelight didn't because, like we've said, they didn't really want to be putting it in anyway.

It's like you said, Charlie, it was just to tick a box because they'd reached that threshold.

You were bigger than somebody a while back, and then all of a sudden they're bigger than you.

I mean, we started similar sort of time to your Playtechs and your Microgamings, and we're not even a drop in the ocean in compared to size of those guys, but we're still here and we're still fighting, and I think that that's then a part of the kind of evolution.

But now new people are coming in and they're setting up and they're, and, and, and, and they're getting there quite quickly, and so you've got to always see what these other people are doing and try and emulate that as well.

But the fact of the matter is is that we've been around and we've survived, and now we're going through a successful period.
