Evolution Gaming

If you have played live roulette or blackjack online, there is a good chance it was an Evolution table. The company is the market leader in live dealer games and invented the live game show genre with titles like Crazy Time and Monopoly Live. Through a series of acquisitions it has also become one of the largest slot groups in the world.

Evolution was founded in 2006 in Sweden and is listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange. It runs large live studios in Europe and North America, where hundreds of tables are streamed around the clock. Since 2018 it has bought several major brands:

• Ezugi (2018) – another live casino specialist, see our Ezugi review;

• Red Tiger (2019) – Red Tiger review;

• NetEnt (2020) – NetEnt review;

• Big Time Gaming (2021) – Big Time Gaming review;

• Nolimit City (2022) – Nolimit City review.

• Lightning Roulette – European roulette with random multipliers on straight-up numbers.

• Crazy Time – a money wheel game show with four bonus games.

• Monopoly Live – a wheel game with a 3D Mr Monopoly bonus round.

• Infinite Blackjack and Lightning Blackjack – blackjack tables with unlimited seats.

• Speed Baccarat and Lightning Baccarat – fast-paced baccarat variants.

• Live Casino Hold’em – poker against the house.

• Professional dealers and studio-quality streaming, including on mobile.

• A huge range of stakes, from low-limit tables to VIP salons.

• “Infinite” and “bet behind” options, so tables are rarely full.

• Game shows that mix live hosts with RNG multipliers and bonus rounds.

Note that live games usually contribute little or nothing to bonus wagering. Read our guides to roulette, blackjack and baccarat before you sit down.

Evolution is licensed in many regulated markets, including Great Britain and Malta. Live tables are monitored, and RNG elements such as multipliers are independently certified.

Most major licensed casinos have an Evolution live lobby. Compare sites in our best UK casinos list, or see our guides to the best roulette and blackjack casinos.
