Evolution Makes Live Gaming Agreement
30th January, 2009
It was announced earlier this week on Wednesday that the provider of live gaming, Evolution Gaming, would be working with 888 on live blackjack, baccarat and roulette.
Just recently, Evolution signed a deal with PartyGaming and its clients, including, William Hill and Gala Coral. The CEO for Evolution, Jens Von Bahr, said that the new deal with 888 further cemented his belief that his company was the market leader in providing gaming solutions.
Jens von Bahr was quoted saying, “the perception of live dealer products has changed considerably. When we started out in 2006, many live dealer products were broadcast from non-regulated jurisdictions and the product did not look that great. We have changed all that and although these things are always evolving and e are never satisfied, we think we have a high quality product to offer.”
Evolution has the intention of doubling its amount of dealers in the near future to around 350. The company has also stated that live gaming has no cannibalised operators’ random number generated casino products, but rather, had attracted large numbers of high spending players.
888’s CEO Gigi Levy expressed his support for the new deal, saying that “The proposal of live casino as a revenue stream is significant for 888.com.” He also stressed that, as with all other products they offered their customers, 888.com would localise and adapt Evolution’s product so as to make it appeal to every market in which it operated.
