[PR] Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has today launched its exclusive multi-wheel Instant Roulette. First unveiled at ICE 2020, Instant Roulette is another exciting addition to Evolution’s extensive range of online Live Roulette variants, which includes the award-winning titles Lightning Roulette and Immersive Roulette. In Instant Roulette, 12 individual, synchronised Auto Roulette wheels spin sequentially, with the balls dropping one after the other in the different wheels. As a consequence, players can play at a pace to suit themselves, because the key difference in Instant Roulette—aside from the number of wheels in front of the player—is that the player has unlimited betting time before deciding to hit the ‘Play Now’ button. When the player does bet, however, they will get a near-instant result as the wheel closest to the next drop of the ball is automatically selected as the wheel on which that bet is placed. According to Evolution, Instant Roulette follows the standard Roulette rules but has been designed specifically to put the player in control and allow them to play at their own pace in a live environment. Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, explained: “With Instant Roulette we really wanted to allow the player to control the pace of the game, similar to the RNG experience but with the trustworthiness of live. Each and every player can take as much time as they like setting up their bets. Then, when they are ready, they push the ‘Play Now’ button and boom, they are right there playing on the next available wheel!”

[PR] Evolution, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has announced the launch of the world’s first ever online Live Craps game, set in an authentic underground, speakeasy-style studio. This unique online version of the legendary dice game stays true to the original while also taking full advantage of technology with its rich set of additional features, aimed to make the game easier to understand and play for both experienced and new players. Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “Craps completes the Evolution portfolio in terms of offering every game you can find in a land-based casino. Developing the game and capturing the unique excitement of the Craps table, but in an online setting, was a complex project. The team has done a phenomenal job and we now have a fantastic finished product that I know will thrill Craps enthusiasts in the US, Europe and beyond, as well as attracting legions of new fans.” He added: “We understand that not everyone knows how to play Craps. That’s why the game has both an ‘Easy Mode’ and a simple online interactive tutorial that clearly explains how to play and enjoy the game. Craps has been our most requested new game by both players and operators for years – now it’s finally here. I think players are going to love it.” Evolution is also adding to its growing portfolio of First Person games by launching an RNG variant of Craps. Like all of Evolution’s First Person games, it includes the ‘GO LIVE’ button, which transports players through an in-game portal to the live version of the game.

[PR] Evolution today announced the launch of Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt™, a ground-breaking online live game show and the world’s first live casino game to bring together live and slots-style gameplay, and the first with the option to play in VR (Virtual Reality) mode. Inspired by the famous Gonzo character and intellectual property (IP) from NetEnt’s popular Gonzo’s Quest™ online slots title, the all-new Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt™ is the latest addition to Evolution’s live game shows portfolio. Blending the worlds of live and slots and representing “a whole new direction”, the new Gonzo live game show is the first Evolution game to use NetEnt IP following Evolution’s acquisition of NetEnt at the end of last year. The central feature of Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt™ is the search for hidden treasures in a giant wall of 70 stones. A stand-out feature in this latest version of Gonzo’s adventures is when the world-famous explorer ‘comes alive’ as an augmented reality virtual character and joins the live show hosts and players in the search. Another world first for the live casino market is the option to play and bet on Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt™ in VR mode using a Virtual Reality headset and controller, enriching the immersive gaming experience even further. Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “This is our first product that combines the best of NetEnt with Evolution. I’ve been excited to work with the amazing NetEnt intellectual property since the acquisition was announced and we are starting by taking the most famous character in slots and bringing him to live casino.” Haushalter continued: “This is also the first live game ever where players have such a high degree of control over their game strategy and the potential outcome. Unlike other games where the result is the result and there is nothing you can do about it, in Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt™ players take control as they go hunting for their prizes. This is a whole new direction for our game shows as we want to widen the definition of what a game show is – giving the player this level of control will attract a new audience to Evolution. We are continuing to evolve what the gambling experience can be, and this is an incredibly exciting landmark launch.”

[Company News] Evolution today announced the launch of Bac Bo, a unique dice game created by Evolution in the spirit of Baccarat. Bac Bo is essentially a simpler version of Baccarat played with dice. Instead of using cards, in Bac Bo the Player score and the Banker score is made up of the sum of two dice, automatically shaken in four individual shakers, two for each hand. Banker and Player both roll their pair of dice, and the resulting two numbers are added together. The highest two-dice total wins or, if the totals are the same, the round ends in a Tie, which offers payouts of up to 88 to 1. Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “Bac Bo is another unique creation from our very talented product team and developers. It blends the essence of two classic games, Baccarat and Sic Bo, and creates something entirely new and different. You get the elegant flow and excitement of a ‘come from behind win’ that makes Baccarat so popular – but with the visual excitement of a dice game.” Haushalter added: “Whilst very much in the spirit of Baccarat, Bac Bo is a game that’s quick to understand. It has easier to follow rules and gameplay compared with Baccarat, with just the outcome of the simple dice rolls to consider. The dice rolls – and the excitement – just keep on coming!”

[Company News] Evolution today announced the launch of XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, an extreme version of the company’s award-winning Lightning Roulette that introduces Chain Lightning multipliers and Double Strikes that can increase multipliers up to 2,000x.

In common with all of Evolution’s successful Lightning live casino games, XXXtreme Lightning Roulette combines live dealer gaming with a high-payout RNG (Random Number Generator) element. What makes XXXtreme Lightning Roulette different is that it takes the high-payout potential to extreme new levels.

In the XXXtreme game, one-five Lightning Numbers with Lightning Multipliers from 50x up to 500x are generated and struck by lightning, just as they are in Lightning Roulette. At this point XXXtreme’s Chain Lightning effect comes into play, with additional bet spots hit by lightning – potentially making up to ten in total. The XXXtreme lightning storm then continues with the potential for Double Strikes, which can increase multipliers up to 2,000x.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “The original Lightning Roulette game is the most successful table game in the last 20 years of online gaming and it has already led to a series of Lightning games such as Lightning Dice, Lightning Blackjack, and Lightning Baccarat. Now we are giving players exactly what they have been asking for: more and bigger multipliers. We know there is a subset of players who desire a more volatile Roulette game and this is sure to give them the chance for bigger wins that they have been looking for.”

Haushalter added: “XXXtreme Lightning Roulette takes the entertainment and suspense to new levels in a beautiful black, red and gold studio setting that literally glows in anticipation of the dramatic gaming action that awaits every player.”

[Company News] Evolution today announced the launch of Super Andar Bahar, a unique online version of the traditional Indian card game that includes optional, super-engaging side bets for the chance of multiplied payouts of up to 4,000x. In the main game, players simply predict on which side of the table – the Bahar side or the Andar side – a card will be dealt that matches the first-dealt card, referred to as the ‘Joker’ or sometimes the ‘house card’. Evolution’s new online version is faithful to the traditional game but adds ten entirely optional, easy-to-understand side bets. The aim in the side bets is to predict when the matching card will be dealt and offer the potential for greatly multiplied wins with between one and five random multipliers being randomly applied to the side bet odds in every game round. Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “Central to our product strategy is giving players everything they want and even some things they don’t know they want. We are delighted to have done just that by bringing a super-special version of the Indian classic Andar Bahar to Evolution’s live casino. Andar Bahar is well known throughout India and it’s a great game how it is. However, we could not resist the temptation to spice it up a little with a series of side bets that allow players to win astronomically high multipliers, which is something we felt was missing from this superb game.” Haushalter continued: “I think players are going to appreciate how we kept the base game traditional in every way but added this fun twist as an optional side bet. And there’s more to come! To further support this market, we will be launching another popular Indian card game, Teen Patti, later this year.”
