Evoke PLC, down 11% at 57.80p, 12-month range 49.18p-297.60p. Evoke is a Gibraltar-based betting and gaming operator, formerly known as 888 Holdings and owner of William Hill, 888, and Mr Green brands. Shares in the firm tumbled following a Guardian report, which said that Treasury officials are weighing up proposals to double some of the taxes levied on online casinos and bookmakers. Measures could be included in this month’s budget, the report said. According to the Guardian’s sources, the Treasury hasn’t yet made a decision, but seems “receptive” to tweaking the UK’s regime of betting and gaming duties to raise extra funds of between GBP900 million and GBP3 billion, despite opposition from industry lobbyists. “It’s definitely on the map,” said a source familiar with Treasury thinking. “There’s no obvious pushback to it.”
