Evolution AB

I'd, I'd agree with that wholeheartedly, yeah.

Evolution's board has recommended that shareholders reject Candle Lake's 10 billion pound offer to take the company private after Kenneth Dart's investment firm passed the 30% shareholding threshold to make a bid.

Dart's investment in Evolution isn't at the end of his interest in gambling, though.

He, uh, he also has stakes in multiple operators.

So, who is Kenneth Dart? Why is he so interested in gambling stocks? And what does it tell us about the direction of the industry? Welcome back to iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, the creator of positionless marketing and the number one player engagement solution for sports betting and iGaming operators.

It, he's got a wide portfolio of investments in retail, in hospitality.

He's kind of become known in the last few years for investing in sin stocks, people refer to it as, so gambling and tobacco.

Uh, but he has invested in Evolution, Flutter, DraftKings more recently, and Hacksaw via his Candle Lake investment fund, which kind of just acts as an investment fund.
