00:00All right, FanDuel, DraftKings, household names in sports betting.
00:07There are some others.
00:09Let's give BetMGM the credit.
00:10They may not be first or second, but they're right there, third, fourth, et cetera.
00:14New CEO Gavin Isaacs from Entain jumps on board.
00:19What does this mean for their company?
00:20Yeah, if you know casino gaming, Craig, then you know the name Gavin Isaacs.
00:26He's done some really big things in the industry.
00:29He's been with huge companies.
00:30He was the CEO of Scientific Games and then the chairman when they owned OpenBet.
00:35OpenBet is a huge sports betting supplier in the industry.
00:39After he left Scientific Games, he took chairman positions and board positions at some pretty
00:46important companies.
00:48He was chairman at SB Tech, which is the platform tech provider that DraftKings bought.
00:54He was also on the DraftKings board.
00:57He was an advisor to the board of JackPocket, which DraftKings just bought.
01:01He's been in the industry.
01:04He's been cutting his teeth on sports betting.
01:06Look, Entain, they admitted last year that they were not fast enough to get U.S.-focused
01:12products to BetMGM to compete well enough with these big names.
01:16Gavin Isaacs is not going to let that happen.
01:19He's going to come in.
01:20He's going to right the ship of the tech side of BetMGM, and shareholders should definitely
01:26be excited about that.
