Evolution targets US growth – planning new studio in Pennsylvania

The market leading live casino developer Evolution Gaming released their quarterly report last week and, amongst other news, they’ve set themselves some big targets over the coming year.

With a focus on the emerging US markets of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, they aim to beat the growth levels of the entire rest of the sector in 2019. That’s some aim.

However, with their range of popular new games deemed less ‘staff intensive’ we can easily see them achieving that lofty goal.

“We believe that the live vertical will continue to grow its share of the total online casino market. When the live vertical grows, we take market shares” said CEO Martin Carlesund in a press statement.

10k Wild Card Promotion on Rizk’s Private Tables

We signposted Rizk as one of our favourite new online casinos, and a big part of that was their recently debuted private tables made in collaboration with Evolution.

As if you needed any more reasons to try them out, Rizk have been quietly putting out some quality promotions for them over the past few months.

This week, it’s a Wild Card hunt as Rizk has put three Wild Cards into each of their card shoes on Live Blackjack Tables. These offer the following prizes when drawn:

• Booster Card: £5 in real cash
• Mighty Card: £10 in real cash
• Ace Card: £20 in real cash

Simply bet £5 or more on either table between 5pm and 11pm GMT to qualify, then draw one of these to win the specified amount. It doesn’t matter if you win the hand or not. 

Prizes will be added to the ‘Rewards’ section of your account the following day. Simple!

NetEnt also Launches Live Games in the newly legal US State

One of the first European developers to set up shop in the US, with their NetEnt Americas subsidiary, the Swedish company this week announced that they are live right now providing games to Pennsylvanian players – at no less than four online casinos.

We applaud their fast movements, considering the market only opened one week ago.

“We are one of the few online casino suppliers offering our games [to this market] right from the start, and I am convinced that our award-winning online casino games will be much appreciated by players in Pennsylvania” said the project’s managing director Erik Nyman.

Another Unibet Live Casino Tournament – this time for £75,000

Once again, live casino fans at Unibet can participate in a 400-prize live casino turnover tournament, featuring a top prize of £15,000.

Any live casino wager of £0.10 or more qualifies you for the tournament, although the top players get to £10,000 or more turnover easily.

However, there’s hope for all you low rollers out there. With 400 cash prizes between £10 and £50 available, almost anyone can get in on the action.

This is just one example of the ridiculous amount of live casino promotions and tournaments Unibet offers every month – and we detail almost all of them for you.

Evolution’s first person RNG games do not count towards the tournament.

Leo Vegas goes Live in Spain

Just two weeks after obtaining their licence, Leo Vegas has launched a .es domain. First starting with a ‘soft’ launch, meaning only around 50% of their games and features are available, Leo hopes to scale the site up within the next month or so.

Still, two weeks is a very fast turnaround for a site translation and we applaud them for that.

Spain becomes the 7^th market for the mobile-focused online casino that we highly rate here at LiveDealers.com.

“We are very happy to offer games in Spain only two weeks after we received our license. It shows strength, commitment and speed within LeoVegas and that our experience from regulated markets is a competitive advantage” said Leo’s communications director Hans Uhrus.

Spanish players can keep an eye out here for any further developments and exclusive offers that might come to the Leo Vegas.es in the future.
