Latvia-based Evolution Gaming announce the launch of a new online live casino game, Live Texas Hold ‘em Bonus Poker. The company says the game is the first of its kind, providing players with access to a progressive jackpot called First Five, resetting at €50,000.
Live Texas Hold ‘em Bonus Poker was created by Evolution Gaming with the help of Games Marketing. The company already offers an extensive collection of live table games within its portfolio.
The new Hold ‘em game can be played via desktop or mobile with tablet or smartphone. The game provides a double bonus via two side bets, both optional during game play. Players can choose to place the Bonus Bet or the First Five Progressive side bets in the hopes of having an extra chance to win cash.
With the Bonus Bet, players can win up to 1,000-to-1, while the First Five offers players the chance to hit a progressive jackpot. A royal flush provides the top jackpot prize, while other poker hands will provide smaller jackpot prizes.
Evolution’s Riga studios will provide the live streams of the Live Texas Hold ‘em Bonus Poker game, with the First Five Progressive Jackpot available to licensees of Evolution via an optional program.
In a press release, Evolution Chief Product Officer Todd Haushalter, stated, “The game is already well-established in the RNG and land-based casino worlds, so being the first and only live provider to offer Texas Hold ‘em Bonus is exciting for us. To add to the excitement, Evolution is funding a progressive jackpot that will start at €50,000. This is the first time we have ever launched a new game with a progressive jackpot on day one, so players will find a lot to like about the live version of Texas Hold ‘em Bonus.”
Haushalter went on to state that Evolution has invested heavily in poker games, having secured the live casino rights to the Texas Hold ‘em Bonus Poker game, as well as other poker variants including Casino Hold ‘em, Ultimate Texas Hold ‘em, Three Card Poker and Caribbean Stud.
