The recent launch of Unibet.com's live casino platform through a partnership with Evolution Gaming has been so successful that the European operator has moved to increase the number of Unibet branded blackjack tables available to its customers.

The extension of Unibet’s live casino offering comes just three months after Evolution Gaming agreed a deal to provide it with live-dealer baccarat, blackjack and roulette as part of the online gaming giant’s plans to drive global expansion and target new demographics. This development is the latest example of how rapidly live gaming is penetrating the online casino market.

Petter Nylander, CEO of Unibet, said: “Players have immediately learnt to appreciate the product as an important addition to our offering and we’re pleased to extend the number of dedicated tables available to meet consumer demand.”

The partnership between Evolution and Unibet is the first to take advantage of the expansion of Evolution’s live TV studios in Latvia.

“For Unibet to take this step after just a few months of offering live gaming to its customers reflects the huge demand for broadcast quality casino games,” said Jens von Bahr, CEO of Evolution Gaming.
