Co-Founder – Big Daddy Gaming
2019 Hot 50 award winner Daniel Eskola has teamed up with two-time Hot 50 honouree Simon Hammon to create Big Daddy Gaming. The game development studio was only officially launched in October 2025, but the industry is already expecting great things from it.
Daniel and Simon have brought in fomer Rootz commercial director Toni Kolehmainen to serve as a director and former Evolution commercial manager Erland Hellström as CEO, creating a powerhouse that aims to provide robust, reliable, and genuinely fun games that address the needs of tier-one operators.
We are betting on them achieving great things in 2026, as has Yolo Group’s content aggregation business Hub88, which was one of the first platforms to sign up to distribute their content. Watch this space.
