Highlights:

Evolution Gaming continue the expansion of their presence in the United States with a just announced deal to supply live dealer games to BetMGM.

BetMGM are the New Jersey facing gambling site formed from a partnership between MGM Resorts International and GVC Holdings. They already offer live games supplied by Ezugi. This arrangement will be extended.

Additionally, BetMGM customers will be able to play Evolution’s suite of live games, streamed from their New Jersey live dealer studio. Other games including live dealer game shows will also be made available. BetMGM sister casinos Borgata and PartyCasino will be included in the deal.

Evolution’s acquisition of Ezugi is paying paying real dividends. Part of the rationale for the purchase was to leverage Ezugi’s early presence in the evolving US live gaming market and this is clearly happening.

In May this year it saw Golden Nugget add Evolution’s live games (and extend the incumbent Ezugi games).
