Evolution Gaming will become the preferred provider of Live Casino services to Microgaming’s European-focused customers under a new agreement between the two companies. The high-profile sportsbook and gaming brand Betway, principal sponsors for English Premiership club West Ham United, already has become Microgaming’s first operator to launch Evolution’s complete Live Casino portfolio via desktop and mobile applications in the U.K., Belgium and several other markets.
Both standard and VIP live games will stream from Evolution’s studio in Latvia. In addition, London Roulette and other localized Live Casino services will stream from Evolution’s Malta studio.
Jens von Bahr, chief executive officer at Evolution, said, “This is likely to be one of the most significant strategic deals in the history of Live Casino gaming. In the past, Microgaming and Evolution have been competitors when offering Live Casino services to licensees. 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.”
Roger Raatgever, chief executive officer at Microgaming, stated, “Evolution’s 100 percent 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. We offer a fully rounded, unrivalled gaming offering to our clients, and this agreement cements our commitment to continually deliver this. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Evolution in the future through the potential provision of Microgaming content via our Quickfire platform.”
