Microgaming and Evolution Gaming have signed a landmark deal that will see Evolution become the preferred provider of live casino to Microgaming’s European-focused customers.

Evolution's studios

Betway is the first Microgaming operator to take on Evolution’s live casino solution with plans to launch the complete live offering - streamed from Evolution’s Latvia and Malta studios - across desktop and mobile in a number of markets, with the UK and Belgium first in line.

Jens von Bahr, Evolution CEO, said: “This is likely to be one of the most significant strategic deals in the history of live casino gaming.

“We know the high standards set by Microgaming, they are a giant in the gaming world, and we are proud to establish a close working relationship with them, with a single shared goal: to offer the world’s best live casino to Microgaming’s extensive licensee base.”

Microgaming CEO Roger Raatgever added: “Evolution’s 100 per cent focus on B2B live casino provision, allied to their significant and sustained investment in skills and infrastructure, has made them a dominant player in live casino.

“Through the deal with Evolution, we can offer our operators a regulated, European-focused live casino experience.”
