Evolution, Golden Nugget Partner on Live Casino

Evolution Gaming and Golden Nugget, Inc. announce a new partnership to bring Evolution table games to the Golden Nugget’s “Live Casino” studio in Atlantic City, which streams live table games to several online gaming sites in New Jersey.

The agreement will also see Golden Nugget’s existing online offering further enhanced in New Jersey, and potentially in other U.S. states in the future, by the addition of Evolution’s U.S. online Live Casino services.

Under the agreement, Golden Nugget’s online players will have access to unique Evolution game types such as Dream Catcher, Side Bet City and Top Card, as well as other games from the Evolution portfolio. The Evolution games will be streamed live to players in New Jersey from Evolution’s own Live Casino studio in Atlantic City, or from the Golden Nugget Live Studio.

The games will appear as part of the extended Golden Nugget live games offering alongside Golden Nugget’s own Ezugi-powered Live Roulette, Blackjack, Unlimited Blackjack, Baccarat, Casino Hold’em and Three Card Poker titles.

Furthermore, the agreement extends to the Live Casino offerings of operators currently served by the Golden Nugget Live Casino studio in Atlantic City. They too will have the option to access selected Evolution Live Casino titles through their agreements with Golden Nugget. Those Golden Nugget partners for New Jersey currently include Betfair/FanDuel, Borgata, BetMGM, PartyCasino, BetAmerica and Caesars.

Evolution and Golden Nugget have also stated that, as U.S. online gaming legislation evolves, their companies will together explore opportunities in other U.S. states.

“Our online players and those of our partners are very well served with our existing online Live Casino offering in terms of classic casino table games,” said Thomas Winter, Golden Nugget’s senior vice president and general manager of online gaming. “The agreement with Evolution will give our players and those of our operating partners access to more unique show-style games and other unique titles, enriching their live gaming experience.

“The new generation of Evolution Live Casino games will also help us serve a broader player demographics, including sports bettors. This, we believe, will allow us collectively to further increase the share of online casino revenue attributed to Live games.”

Sebastian Johannisson, chief commercial officer of Evolution, said, “We are honored to be working in partnership with Golden Nugget in what we believe is a key agreement that paves the way for further exciting growth in the U.S. Live Casino market. This deal further consolidates our position in New Jersey while providing an additional strategic platform from which to introduce additional new games to the U.S., including titles that have already been very successful in the Live Casino space in Europe.”
