Evolution launches dealer studio in Czech Republic

Evolution have announced the launch of their first live dealer studio in the Czech Republic.

The studio began operating 3 October and has been constructed in a standalone section inside Kajot Intacto Kasino – a land based casino located on the outskirts of Prague.

The go-live table offering is Roulette and Infinite Blackjack.  More blackjack and roulette tables in addition to poker and baccarat are promised to launch during the next few weeks. The tables will be staffed by native Czech-speaking dealers, tailored to the Czech playing market.

Until recently live dealer games were not allowed to be offered by Czech-licensed operators. This changed in January 2024 when a number of amendments to Czechia’s Gambling Act were passed, one of which was the addition of live dealer games to the closed catalogue of permitted online gambling categories.

Evolution have wasted no time in moving into this newly opened market.

Gionata La Torre, Evolution’s CEO for Europe, had the following to say about the opening:

“We are honoured to launch the first live casino offering for the new Czech live casino market  and as part of an agreement with the Czech capital’s premier land-based venue, Kajot Intacto Praha. Leading the way in new regulated markets is central to Evolution’s growth strategy.

The Prague studio launch opens up huge opportunity for Czech operators, as does the regulator’s approval of our Infinite Blackjack and Roulette. Offering these games with native Czech-speaking dealers will help create a more immersive and engaging experience for players, fostering a strong rapport between dealers and players, which is key to building trust and long-term customer loyalty.”

The Kajot Intacto Casino

Kasino Kajot Intacto is located in Hodkovice, just on the outskirts of the Prague metropolitan area. The casino itself is quite new, only opening for business at the start of 2022.

We’re unsure of any connection the casino has to the Versace company, but the logos at the front of the casino are hard not to notice.

The casino’s general gaming floor is modest, containing a couple of blackjack tables, a Casino Hold’em poker table and 4 Roulette tables. The Evolution studio is located separately to these tables.
