Microgaming and Evolution Gaming Pen Deal

A new deal, which has been hailed "historic" by the parties, has been signed between Microgaming and Evolution Gaming.

Evolution signed a deal with the Isle of Man based software provider where the former will become the preferred provider of Live Casino services for Microgaming's European-focused customers.

As such, players will be able to access Evolution's full range of live dealer games which have already impacted the market.

The first Microgaming operator to offer this service to its players will be Betway Casino, which will launch the live casino service from its desktop and mobile platforms. The first players to enjoy the new products will probably be from the United Kingdom and Belgium.

100% Focus on Live Casino

The chief executive officer of Microgaming, Roger Raatgever said about the new deal struck with Evolution:

"Evolutions 100% 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."

Raatgever said that Microgaming offered "a fully-rounded, unrivalled gaming offering to our clients, and this agreement cements our commitment to continually deliver this."  He said that Microgaming looked forward to strengthening its relationship with Evolution in the future through the potential provision of Microgaming content via its Quickfire platform.

Significant Strategic Deal

The CEO of Evolution, Jens von Bahr hailed the deal as one of "the most significant strategic deals in the history of live casino gaming."

"Microgaming and Evolution have been competitors when offering Live Casino services to licensees," he said. "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 worlds best Live Casino to Microgamings extensive licensee base."
