Evolution today announced that it has entered into a partnership with JVH gaming & entertainment group (JVH group) for the supply of Live Casino content and services in the Netherlands.

Founded in 1958, JVH group is the leading private casino operator in the Netherlands, that welcomes well over four million guest visits annually across more than 80 properties under a number of brands including the market leading Dutch brand Jack’s Casino.

The deal gives JVH group access to Evolution’s full, wide-ranging portfolio of award-winning live games and First Person RNG games — including titles such as Crazy Time, Mega Ball and Lightning Roulette from the company’s fast-growing Game Shows category.

JVH group plans to go live with a comprehensive set of Evolution titles on their Jack’s Casino website on 1 September 2021, the date currently set for the opening of the Netherlands’ regulated online gambling market. The deal will also see the creation of a dedicated, branded Jack’s environment for JVH group within one of Evolution’s Live Casino studios.

Eric Olders, CEO and Chairman at JVH group commented: “The opening of the regulated Dutch online gambling market has been subject to a number of serious delays over the years, but finally it is going to happen. I can promise our players that the live gaming experience they will be able to enjoy at our online casino will be well worth the wait. Selecting from the world-class Evolution games portfolio, we will be able to offer our players an exceptional online mix of casino classics and game show-style entertainment that goes beyond simply replicating a visit to a traditional casino venue. In Evolution, we are confident that we have found a trusted partner to make this happen.”

Johan Nordstrom, Chief Executive Officer Malta and Chief Commercial Officer at Evolution, added: “We are very proud to have been chosen by JVH group, a company with an impressive 60-year heritage in the Dutch gaming market. We very much look forward to achieving high levels of success through a close partnership with them in this new and extremely exciting online market.”
