Comments from CEO Martin Carlesund:
I’m happy to report strong results for the quarter. Revenue amounted to EUR 140 million, an increase of 48 percent compared with the third quarter of 2019. EBITDA amounted to EUR 91 million with a margin of 64.8 percent. The past quarter has also been a period of exceptionally high activity operationally within Evolution and after the end of the quarter we are live with our first tables in both Pennsylvania, USA and Kaunas, Lithuania. We are still dealing with the limitations imposed by Covid but we are slowly coming back towards pre-Covid levels in number of tables.

Our new game show style game – Crazy Time – was launched globally on July 1st and has been a great success. Players enjoy the groundbreaking game format and possibility of big wins. It is our most successful game launch to date. Instant Roulette was also launched during the quarter and coming up in Q4 is the launch of Craps. We continue to build our portfolio of unique innovative games both within traditional table games as well as game shows.

Germany is on its way to be the next regulated market in Europe. Licenses for Online Casino, which includes Live Casino, and Online Slots, are planned to be issued from July 2021. Until then a transition will take place where some operators will not offer Live Casino. Revenue related to German players make up 5-10% of our current total revenues. While we expect a negative effect on our German revenue during the transition the effect on the Evolution group as a whole is limited. Long-term we view the move towards regulation in Germany as positive for Evolution.

We continue to stay focused on further strengthening our North American footprint and it makes me proud to say that we now are live in Pennsylvania. Also important for the North America expansion is that we, during the third quarter, have signed several new customers for the US market and more are to come. Regardless of the timing for regulation in additional states we know that Evolution is well positioned and that the US market is a long-term project with very high potential.

We experience high demand for our games all over the world and thus we continue to invest in additional studio capacity to meet the total demand. During this week we also launched the new medium sized Lithuanian studio. It has been our fastest and most efficient build so far. Together with the latest expansion in Tbilisi, the new build in Pennsylvania, expansion in Malta, expansion in New Jersey and the coming build in Michigan we look forward to a very hectic expansion in the coming period.

During the period we have also updated our corporate brand to Evolution. The new branding better reflects the diversity of our operations. In addition to our gaming offerings, we are also active within areas such as software development, technology innovation and state-of-the art broadcast studio design.

With increased studio capacity together with a continuous development of the very best products and services, we are well positioned to increase our market leadership within Live Casino going forward. During the fourth quarter we look forward to close the deal with NetEnt. We see a fantastic potential in combining the two companies and continuing to deliver the best playing experiences for players across the globe. As I said in the beginning of this report we have a hectic Q3 behind us and now we look forward to an even more hectic Q4. We will continue to work relentlessly on all fronts to continue to better every single day.

CreedRoomz launches Maradona Run live game show with licensed rights

Published

creedroomz-launches-maradona-run-live-game-show-with-licensed-rights

The new football-themed title keeps CreedRoomz’ existing mechanics and adds a Maradona-branded visual overhaul and 10,000x max payout claim.

CreedRoomz has launched a new live game show, “Maradona Run,” which the supplier says is backed by official rights and is now available to partner operators on the CreedRoomz Live Casino platform.

The company positions the release around the upcoming World Cup games, with a football-themed reskin of its existing interactive game show concept. CreedRoomz said the game’s “logic and core mechanics remain exactly the same,” while the visual identity has been rebuilt around a 3D animated caricature of Diego Maradona in a number 10 jersey.

Maradona Run combines a lottery-style ball draw, where players can manage up to eight interactive cards, with an “endless runner” bonus round. In the bonus sequence, the Maradona character runs through an obstacle course collecting glowing soccer balls that the supplier says translate into gameplay advantages including multipliers, speed boosts and prize doublers. CreedRoomz stated the game has a maximum payout potential of up to 10,000x the bet.

“Securing the official rights for Maradona Run allows us to hand our partners a massive competitive advantage just in time for the World Cup games,” said Armen Mnatsakanyan, Head of Sales Department at CreedRoomz. “By merging the legendary global appeal of Maradona with our high-retention endless-runner mechanic, we have created a premium crossover product that effortlessly converts football fans into loyal live casino players. The proven logic and math models are exactly what operators trust, but the brand power and vibrant new look make this a must-have commercial powerhouse.”

The title features a live presenter alongside the animated character and includes three bonus ticket tiers—Sprint, Trailblaze, and Marathon—intended to provide multiple bonus-entry paths per round, according to the supplier.

Leading live casino provider CreedRoomz has officially announced the launch of its highly anticipated new live game show, “Maradona Run,” backed by official rights.

Built to capture the celebratory spirit of the upcoming World Cup games, this groundbreaking release introduces an authorized, football-themed transformation of the company’s signature interactive game show concept. By securing the official rights to feature one of the greatest legends in football history, CreedRoomz is inviting global operators and players to engage with an entirely premium, legally authorized gaming experience.

While the game’s flawless logic and core mechanics remain exactly the same, the visual identity has been completely overhauled to welcome the World Cup games. The character has been transformed into a vibrant, 3D animated caricature of the legendary Maradona, proudly wearing his iconic number 10 jersey.

Maradona Run seamlessly bridges a fast-paced lottery ball draw with a cinematic, arcade-style endless runner bonus round. During the main game, players manage up to eight interactive cards as football-styled lottery numbers bounce in a high-tech studio chamber. When the bonus round triggers, players leave the studio behind and hit a digital, festive boulevard alongside Maradona himself.

Instead of traditional coins, the animated legend sprints down the obstacle-filled street course collecting glowing soccer balls. These collectibles correspond to crucial gameplay advantages, including total payout multipliers, energy speed-boosts, and prize doublers, culminating in a massive maximum payout potential of up to 10,000x the bet.

“Securing the official rights for Maradona Run allows us to hand our partners a massive competitive advantage just in time for the World Cup games,” said Armen Mnatsakanyan, Head of Sales Department at CreedRoomz. “By merging the legendary global appeal of Maradona with our high-retention endless-runner mechanic, we have created a premium crossover product that effortlessly converts football fans into loyal live casino players. The proven logic and math models are exactly what operators trust, but the brand power and vibrant new look make this a must-have commercial powerhouse.”

The live game show features a highly interactive setup where a live presenter stands side-by-side with the animated Maradona caricature, engaging with players in real-time. With three distinct bonus ticket tiers Sprint, Trailblaze, and Marathon players have multiple pathways to chase massive wins on every single round.

Maradona Run Live is now available to all partner operators integrating the CreedRoomz Live Casino platform.
