Microgaming signs live dealer agreement

Online gambling software and games provider Microgaming and live dealer supplier Evolution Gaming have announced a collaborative deal that will see Evolution become the preferred provider of Live Casino services to Microgaming’s European-focused customers.

Betway is the first Microgaming operator to take on Evolution’s Live Casino solution, and integration is already well underway, a statement from the software supplier revealed Friday.

The high-profile sportsbook and gaming brand, which is principal sponsor for English Premiership club West Ham United, will launch Evolution’s complete Live Casino offering across desktop and mobile in a number of markets, with priority being given to the UK and Belgium.

Betway will offer Evolution standard and VIP live games streamed from Evolution’s Latvia studio, as well as localised Live Casino services such as London Roulette, which are streamed from native-speaking tables at Evolution’s Malta studio.

Jens von Bahr, CEO of 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, CEO of Microgaming, added: “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.”
