Evoplay partners with Hrvatska Lutrija to expand reach in Croatia
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has partnered with Hrvatska Lutrija, to bring a selection of its top-performing titles to the Croatian operator’s online casino brand, Cro Casino.
The collaboration marks a significant step in Evoplay’s growth across regulated European markets and strengthens its presence in Croatia by going live with the country’s only authorised state lottery operator.
As part of the agreement, 12 Evoplay games are now available to Croatian players, with additional game launches expected in the coming months.
Among the initial selection is the studio’s standout title Penalty Shoot-out, a football-themed instant game that continues to perform strongly across multiple regions thanks to its easy-to-play format and competitive edge.
Founded in 1973, Hrvatska Lutrija operates as a state-owned company offering a full range of gaming products, including lottery games, sports betting, and casino content, both in retail locations and online. A trusted name in the Croatian market, the company plays a key role in funding national initiatives in sport, culture, and social welfare.
The launch of Evoplay’s portfolio has been facilitated through Intralot SA, Hrvatska Lutrija’s technology partner and a leading gaming solutions supplier and operator active in 39 regulated jurisdictions worldwide. Evoplay’s games have been integrated into Intralot SA’s Lotos X Omni platform, which is connected to the Bragg Hub aggregation platform.
This partnership supports Evoplay’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, certified content in regulated jurisdictions and engaging new audiences through trusted, local partners.
Ihor Zarechnyi, Chief Commercial Officer at Evoplay, said: “Partnering with Hrvatska Lutrija marks a key milestone in our expansion across Europe. As Croatia’s national lottery operator, Hrvatska Lutrija has a strong and established brand, and offers us a trusted platform to bring our games to a wider audience.
“We’re excited to launch with Cro Casino and deliver a range of engaging titles to players across the country.
Ignacije Čutura, Chief Executive Officer at Hrvatska Lutrija, added: “We’re delighted to partner with Evoplay and bring their innovative content to our players through Cro Casino. Their engaging titles align well with our focus on delivering high-quality, entertaining experiences.
“This collaboration marks an exciting step in strengthening our online offering and continuing to grow within Croatia’s regulated market.”
