If I could seek one clarification. On this point that you mentioned ‘the live dealer salary becomes a fixed cost that can be leveraged across hundreds of potential concurrent players. This efficiency is in contrast to traditional casinos where live dealers serve only a few players at a physical table’

Isn’t the dealer still limited to the number of players at the table at any one point in time. Or in the case of a ‘live casino’ a dealer can dealer on multiple tables at the same time?

Congratulations on your analysis of Evolution Gaming and the excellent work you contribute to the community. I would like to share some reflections and doubts about this company. The success of Evolution depends largely on the continuity and work of Todd Haushalter, who is the key figure behind all of this. His enthusiasm for his work and his constant focus on what players really want are essential to the company’s success.

The true power of Evolution lies in its negotiating ability with operators, who must give a higher commission for their games. As long as these games remain the most popular and Todd Haushalter maintains the freedom and resources needed to innovate and create new titles, the company's moat will remain intact.

However, there is one part of your thesis with which I disagree: the margins, particularly regarding the expansion into the U.S. and the regulations being implemented in other countries, similar to those in the U.S. The need to build studios in each of these countries will likely reduce the company’s margins (though it’s hard to predict by how much). This presents a short- and medium-term risk that will directly affect Evolution’s profits.

Despite this risk, in the long term, if these regulations are established, Evolution will be the only company with the ability to compete globally in each geography. In summary, Evolution Gaming is an excellent company, with very promising prospects and attractive prices currently.
