Evolution Gaming Annual General Meeting, Share Dividend and Balance Sheet

[Garf79]

Evolution Gaming held the AGM (annual general meeting) earlier this month. The meeting reflects Evolution's performance for 2021 and it is fair to say it was a very good year for them. Shareholders enjoyed a dividend payout for each share they own of almost 1.50 per share. This clearly shows that 2021 was a profitable year and in one of my last Evolution posts shows why they bought back a shed load of there own shares.

With the upcoming release of Evolution's "great 88" later on in 2022 we are almost certain to see a further rise in share price and this time next year probably even a bigger share dividend payed back to investors. So if any of you that read this are looking for a sure return on a 1 year investment, buy some Evolution stock before the release of the "great 88".

The Great 88 is the group of new games coming from Evo this year and in my opinion it is guaranteed to cement their place as kings of online gaming. The new games will secure top provider for table games and the new slots will snatch an even larger share of the slot market. This really is a good year on year investment and I can see no way that they will under perform and loose money.
