Canadian online casino, lottery and sportsbook operator Kings Entertainment Group Incorporated has announced that it will now be able to gain access to a ‘broader capital base’ via its upcoming listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The Vancouver-headquartered firm used an official Friday press release to detail that the fresh move will also serve to better facilitate its plans for global expansion and see its shares begin being listed on the Toronto bourse from later today under the ‘JKPT’ ticker symbol.
Increasing interest:
Established in 2005, Kings Entertainment Group Incorporated is already responsible for the online lottery domains at WinTrillions.com and LottoKings.com and pronounced that it now intends to use its new listing ‘to attract and engage an international player base’ to these sites by potentially expanding ‘into the live-dealer casino games and sportsbook sectors’.

Steve Budin serves as the Chief Executive Officer for Kings Entertainment Group Incorporated and he used the press release to describe his enterprise’s move onto the Canadian Securities Exchange as a ‘critical component’ to its overall plans for growth. The supremo furthermore proclaimed that his company already holds a reputation as ‘an established leader in the global online lottery sector’ and will seek to utilize its existing ‘strong presence in Latin America’ as a foundation for ‘international growth in the burgeoning United States and European gaming markets’.
