Evolution Gaming Clinches Land-Based Deal with Scientific Games

Evolution Gaming, a leading provider of live casino content, has informed its customers about the new agreement with Scientific Games to deliver its live Lightning Roulette game in land-based casinos across the globe.

As part of the cooperation, Evolution Lightning Roulette, with its groundbreaking game setting with random RNG multipliers, will be available to land-based venues worldwide via Scientific Games. It will be the original Evolution game to complete the transition from live to land based.

Lightning Roulette was originally launched in 2018 and has already received the award for Product Innovation of the Year at the Global Gaming Awards, EGR's Game of the Year, and the same recognition at G2E Las Vegas. The game features classic roulette wheel like typical roulette games. It connects the elements of live and advanced RNG gameplay while adding RNG ‘Lucky Number’ wins in each game round.

More About the Partnership

Evolution and Scientific Games are already working together on projects around the European, Canadian, and US markets. Evolution’s Live Casino suite is part of Scientific Games’ platform and the live casino provider has also released the live version of Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em.

Commenting on the new deal, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, Todd Haushalter, said:

“Lightning Roulette has been the biggest table game in online casino for years and we are thrilled to have Scientific Games bring it to land-based casinos. This gets us one step closer to letting players find Lightning Roulette everywhere they want to play.”

Haushalter added that Evolution has millions of players who enjoy the title, and it will result in an instant fan base who are willing to play at local casinos. The process of creation of Lightning Roulette included mixing the first-time random outcomes with physical real-world results in Live Casino, which turned out to be very successful among players. He added:

“This is also the first time an Evolution game has been brought into land-based casinos, so it is really quite exciting for us!”

On the other hand, Senior Vice President of Global Systems and Table Games at Scientific Games, Rob Bone, noted:

He also mentioned the trademark lightning and big-win multipliers, which promise to make Lightning Roulette one of the most engaging and entertaining live games in the market. It will provide gamblers with a unique experience and the company is confident that its land-based form will be “an absolute star attraction”.
