About the provider

The company is a leading global supplier of online live casino games. It was established in 2006, and within eleven years of its successful operation, Evolution has gained an impeccable reputation and reached EUR 1.6bn market capitalization.To date, the software of Evolution is used by many leading European casinos, including Royal Panda, LeoVegas, BetVictor, ComeOn!, Genting Casino and many more.

It is worth noting that the leading developer of the live dealer software system has been awarded the prize “Live Casino Supplier of the Year” by EGR B2B Awards 11 times in a row from 2010 to 2020. Evolution has studios across Europe and North America. The company was established in 2006 in Sweden. During the first three years of their activity, Evolution cooperated with other operators, after which the first studio was opened in Riga, Latvia. Another studio opened in Malta in 2014. Recently one more studio was opened in Tbilisi, Georgia as well as a studio in Vancouver, Canada and New Jersey, USA. Since 2016, Evolution has been streaming its Dual Play solutions from land-based casinos, which means that online players can join those playing in physical casinos. At present, such an option is available in The Hippodrome in London, Dragonara Casino in Malta, Genting’s casinos across the UK and Grand Casino, Bucharest to name but a few. Evolution has over 700 tables and approximately 3,000 live dealers.

History of Evolution

Evolution Limited, the top provider of live dealer solutions, was founded in 2007 to bridge RNG games and land-based casino entertainment. At that time and a few years onward, video streaming technology and Internet coverage were far from being ideal so it was a true breakthrough in the industry. Gamblers could immerse themselves in the casino ambience without leaving the comfort of their homes, get in touch with real-life dealers and see the action evolving right at their fingertips.In 2009, the company expanded their operation by opening a couple of studios in Latvia and some facilities for high rollers who like betting much. That same year, Evolution entered into contract with many famous online casinos, like Unibet and 888, which agreed on integrating Evolution’s platform into their game offer. In 2010, the company’s effort in complying with the best quality standards were acknowledged by EGR Supplier of the Year accolade.

2011 to 2012 saw Evolution boosting their presence on the European market. They became the first live dealer operator to be approved by an Italian regulator, and further scaled up their production premises and gaming floor in Latvia. They obtained the Class 4 license from MGA (Malta) and brought out first mobile-compatible live tables.

In the following three years, the company focused on enlarging its footprint on the existing markets and cementing its presence in new countries. Evolution set up a new studio in Malta, proudly presented its 100th live table in Riga and introduced to the market some innovative titles like Ruleta En Vivo, Live Three Card Poker and Caribbean Stud Poker.

Over the last years, Evolution got global acclaim and won dozens of professional awards including Product Innovation of the Year (GGA, Las Vegas), Digital Product of the Year, Best In-Casino Streaming Live Dealer Provider, to name but a few. Their products are acquired by hundreds of online casinos because the Evolution brand name is used as an endorsement and attracts gamblers from all over the globe.

In 2020, that brand turned into something even bigger than it was before. Namely, Evolution became the owner of both NetEnt and Red Tiger, two competitive software providers, and went through a complete rebranding process that resulted in what it now is — simply Evolution, and got the biggest market share ever before.

However, the expansion does not seem to have ended with the acquisition of NetEnt and Red Tiger. In 2021, Evolution has launched a first-ever live game show that brings together live casino gaming and slots. Also, the company has announced plans to purchase Big Time Gaming, another notable casino software provider, and thus cement its position as the absolute leader of the entire industry.
