Evolution has announced that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Scientific Games to make Evolution’s multi-award winning live online Lightning Roulette game available as a showpiece physical game in land-based casinos worldwide.

The deal will see the distinctive Evolution Lightning Roulette live wheel, with its striking game setting with integrated random RNG multipliers, made available exclusively from Scientific Games to land-based casinos worldwide. It will be the first Evolution game, other than the company’s Dual Play Roulette and Baccarat games which are tables that are streamed from land-based casinos tables, to make the transition from live to land-based.

Launched in its online live version in 2018, Lightning Roulette was awarded Product Innovation of the Year at the Global Gaming Awards, G2E Las Vegas and EGR’s Game of the Year. The game is like no other Roulette game in that it features a traditional Roulette wheel in a visually stunning TV game show style setting that blends both live and advanced RNG gameplay. As part of the traditional Roulette play, Lightning Roulette adds high-payout RNG ‘Lucky Number’ wins in every game round. These hit in the form of lightning strikes that illuminate certain numbers for multiplied wins on an eye-catching digital backdrop integrated into the game setting.

Evolution and Scientific Games have a long and successful relationship, notably in the European, Canadian and US markets. Evolution’s Live Casino solutions are part of Scientific Games’ platform, while Evolution has developed online Live Casino versions of Scientific Games’ Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold ’Em, as well as the MONOPOLY Live game show, created via sublicense from Scientific Games in partnership with Hasbro, Inc.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, 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. At Evolution, we have millions of players who enjoy the game, so there should be an instant fan base who are ready to play at their local casino when given the chance. When we created Lightning Roulette this was the first-time random computer outcomes had been mixed with physical real-world outcomes in Live Casino, and it was an instant success with players. This is also the first time an Evolution game has been brought into land-based casinos, so it is really quite exciting for us!”

Rob Bone, Senior Vice President of Global Systems and Table Games at Scientific Games, commented: “We have watched Lightning Roulette’s phenomenal success in a live-dealer, online format and cannot wait to make it available on the gaming floors of land-based casinos across North America and around the world. With its trademark lightning strikes and big-win multipliers, Lightning Roulette is sure to be one of the most visually engaging and entertaining live table games ever offered. It provides a truly unique roulette experience for players and we are confident that in its land-based form, scheduled for go-live in 2022, it will be an absolute star attraction.”

GoldenRace, líder mundial en deportes virtuales y soluciones de apuestas, y Spinmatic, innovador desarrollador de juegos de casino de alta calidad, celebran cinco años de una exitosa asociación con Playlogiq, una de sus colaboraciones más duraderas.

Desde el 7 de enero de 2021, GoldenRace y Spinmatic han trabajado codo con codo con el equipo de Playlogiq para ofrecer experiencias de juego de primer nivel en todo el mundo. Han sido más de cinco años de objetivos compartidos, sinergia técnica y, lo más importante, resultados inmejorables.

Esta asociación ha sido un motor fundamental para el crecimiento en el continente africano. Al aprovechar la sólida plataforma de Playlogiq y el contenido líder en el sector de GoldenRace y Spinmatic, han logrado proporcionar a los operadores una ventaja competitiva que conecta con los jugadores locales.

Aunque el alcance del acuerdo es amplio, se ha obtenido un éxito excepcional en África Oriental, donde el interés por contenidos de apuestas de alta calidad y ritmo trepidante sigue disparándose. Al centrarnos en las ofertas online y móviles, las compañías han llegado al corazón del mercado africano moderno de las apuestas, donde la accesibilidad y el rendimiento son las claves para alcanzar altos volúmenes de tráfico.

“Nuestra colaboración con Playlogiq siempre ha sido algo más que una simple transacción comercial; se trata de una relación muy sólida y productiva entre dos empresas que comparten el afán por la excelencia. Al ofrecer nuestra gama completa de verticales, Playlogiq ha demostrado ser un socio fundamental en nuestra misión de dominar los mercados clave de África”.

Martin Wachter, director ejecutivo y fundador de GoldenRace.

Uno de los aspectos más destacados de esta colaboración es el compromiso de Playlogiq con la innovación: siempre se encuentran entre los primeros en integrar e implementar los últimos lanzamientos de GoldenRace y Spinmatic, lo que garantiza que sus operadores tengan acceso a una oferta variada y emocionante.

“Trabajar con GoldenRace y Spinmatic desde 2021 nos ha permitido ofrecer constantemente a nuestros operadores el contenido más atractivo del mercado. El tráfico que observamos, especialmente a través de los canales móviles y online, es una prueba de la calidad de los juegos. Hemos visto cómo Spinmatic se ha convertido, con diferencia, en nuestra línea de productos más exitosa, con la serie Sizzling Blaze generando una increíble participación en todos los ámbitos”.

Baha Yahya, director ejecutivo de Playlogiq.

La línea de productos Spinmatic se ha erigido como la campeona indiscutible de esta asociación. Es, con diferencia, la línea de productos más exitosa que se ofrece a Playlogiq.

Aunque los slots de Spinmatic lideran actualmente la oferta, los deportes virtuales de GoldenRace siguen siendo un pilar fundamental de la oferta de Playlogiq. Proporcionan una fuente de ingresos constante y fiable, y son especialmente apreciados por los entusiastas de las apuestas deportivas.

Lo que hace que esta colaboración sea realmente especial no es solo el GGR o las estadísticas de tráfico, sino la sólida relación entre las empresas, las cuales hablan el mismo idioma en lo que respecta a la calidad y a una visión común sobre el futuro del igaming.
