Live casino solutions provider Evolution Gaming has entered into an agreement with lotoquebec.com to provide the provincial Crown corporation with Live Casino services from its production studio in Vancouver.
Lotoquebec.com will be the second online gaming site operating out of Evolution’s Live Casino production studio in Vancouver which opened in 2018.
Since February 2018, British Columbia Lottery Corporation has offered Live Casino to British Columbia and Manitoba, with Evolution the only regulated Live Casino provider in Canada.
The studio is now being expanded to meet projected demand from players in Quebec, Canada’s second most populous province after Ontario and home to more than 8 million predominantly French speaking people.
In its first move into Live Casino (Casino en direct), lotoquebec.com will offer its players six dedicated tables, five of which will be hosted by French speaking game presenters, as well as four existing tables. The service is expected to go live in January 2019.
Lotoquebec.com’s Live Casino games will all be available on desktop, tablet and smartphone, where the provincial Crown corporation already offers online casino games, poker, sportsbetting, lottery, bingo and XP Games.
Sovanna Phan, Online Product Manager at lotoquebec.com:
“We’re thrilled to be launching Casino en direct! It’s innovative, and a great addition to what we already offer our customers on lotoquebec.com. It fits hand in glove with our click-and-mortar strategy to engage with customers both online and face-to-face at our casinos.”
James Stern, Evolution’s Chief Business Officer – America & Land-based, added:
“The lotoquebec.com signing follows not only the BCLC agreement in Canada, but also a stream of new business wins for Evolution’s recently opened New Jersey production studio. Together these successes underline Evolution’s growing Canadian and American presence and an extension of the company’s dominance outside of its traditional stronghold in Europe.”
