Evolution Launches Brand New Live Casino Studio In Michigan

Evolution, the world’s biggest provider of live casino software and content, has announced the opening of a new live casino studio in Michigan, the company’s third studio in the United States.

This launch means Evolution is the first company to have a live casino ready to accommodate players in the state of Michigan. The purpose-built facility is Evolution’s eleventh studio worldwide and it received regulatory approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

This is the very first instance of live internet casino authorization in Michigan. The location set up by Evolution was reviewed by representatives of the Michigan Gaming Control Board and it was found to meet all the requirements of Michigan’s internet gaming framework.

The Michigan studio will start with broadcasting blackjack, baccarat and roulette, but in the future it will most likely expand its offering with other live dealer games and game shows from Evolution’s vast portfolio.

Evolution already has live casino studios in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, offering a complete business-to-business live casino solution for online casino operators. Nine gaming operators went live with Evolution’s games in Michigan immediately after the launch. Those operators are Barstool Sports, BetMGM, BetRivers, DraftKings, FanDuel, Golden Nugget, PokerStars, TwinSpires and William Hill, but there will surely be many more to follow.

Jeff Millar, Commercial Director for North America at Evolution, described the Michigan launch as “another major landmark” in the company’s growth on the United States market.

The Swedish company already launched casino games from NetEnt in Michigan in January, signing many partnerships with operators that are licensed in the American state.

The company’s expansion in North America has reached Canada as well. In March, Evolution signed live casino agreements with the Canadian Bank Note Company and Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis. After the signing of those deals, the Canadian Bank Note Company started to offer its lottery clients online live casino games from Evolution, while Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis added six live dealer games from Evolution to their PlayAlberta.ca website.

Evolution is the undisputed global market leader when it comes to providing business-to-business live casino services. The company currently employs over 4,000 people in several offices and studios located in various places around the world. At the end of 2020 Evolution acquired video slot developer NetEnt for 2.3 billion dollars.
