Canada’s only regulated live casino provider, Evolution Gaming, recently entered into an agreement with lotoquebec.com. In its first live online casino venture, Loto-Quebec will offer six dedicated tables; five of those will be hosted by French-speaking presenters. The service will go live this month via desktop, tablet and smartphone where Evolution Gaming already offers online casino games, poker, sports betting, lottery, bingo and XP Games.
Evolution Gaming’s production studio in Vancouver opened in 2018. Loto-Quebec will be the company’s second online live casino to operate there. Live online casino streaming content already is offered to British Columbia and Manitoba by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation through its PlayNow.com website. Evolution officials said they will expand the studio to meet the high demand expected from Quebec players.
James Stern, Evolution’s chief business officer of America and land-based, said, “The service we will be providing to lotoquebec.com underlines the flexibility of our Vancouver studio, and our vast experience in the provision of live casino solutions. Our track record in providing native speaking dealer solutions is a key factor, with lotoquebec.com’s French speaking presenter tables being a key USP when serving the province’s predominantly French speaking population.”
Sovanna Phan, online product manager at lotoquebec.com, added, “We’re thrilled to be launching casino en direct. It’s innovative and a great addition to what we already offer our customers on lotoquebec.com. It fits hand in glove with our click-and-mortar strategy, to engage with customers both online and face-to-face at our casinos. We selected Evolution because we wanted a partner with the vision, innovation and capability to deliver localized, convergent solutions that will allow lotoquebec.com to deliver live casino in so many ways, to appeal to different players.”
