Ezugi launches EZ Marble Race Monaco – a new spin on RNG gaming

Ezugi, part of the Evolution Group, has released EZ Marble Race Monaco, the first in a new series of eye-catching games that combine the thrill of marble racing with cinematic visuals. This unique title blends pre-recorded race footage with Ezugi’s licensed RNG technology, ensuring every outcome is truly random.

Set against the glamorous backdrop of Monte Carlo, players watch five colourful marbles—red, blue, green, white, and yellow—race down a twisting track inspired by Monaco’s iconic streets. It’s an unpredictable, fast-paced experience that keeps players guessing to the very end.

According to Ezugi’s Chief Growth Officer, Ben Zairi, “I am confident that players will enjoy this new, fast-paced game and appreciate its cinematic experience. While the game features pre-recorded clips of real balls and a physical track, our technology still allows us to reskin it with different background themes or even offer a privately-branded version tailored to any client’s styling and design.”

Zairi added: “Ezugi is pioneering the hybrid game space, combining real assets with licensed RNG, as well as live streaming with pre-recorded elements. We will launch several additional exciting products during the second half of the year. Stay tuned!”

EZ Marble Race Monaco also introduces a range of betting options—from choosing the winner to predicting the top five order—with payouts up to 71:1. It’s designed to deliver both fun and the potential for big wins.

The game starts a new chapter in hybrid RNG gaming for Ezugi, with more editions like EZ Marble Race Las Vegas on the way. Its modular design makes it easy to localise and tailor for operators across global markets.

Following the success of past titles like Magic Claw and Fortune Pusher, this release continues Ezugi’s mission to merge engaging gameplay with familiar betting mechanics. Available via Ezugi’s platform and Evolution’s One Stop Shop integration, EZ Marble Race Monaco is plug-and-play ready with full marketing support and promotional assets included.
