Brazil
Evolution Launches First Live Casino Studio in Brazil

Evolution has announced the launch of its first-ever live casino studio in São Paulo, Brazil, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion in Latin America. The cutting-edge facility is purpose-built to meet the unique demands of Brazil’s rapidly expanding regulated iGaming market.
Following the regulation of Brazil’s online gaming sector in January 2025, Evolution became the country’s first licensed supplier on day one of the new legal framework. The opening of this studio further underscores Evolution’s commitment and investment in the region.
The new state-of-the-art studio will initially offer multiple variants of native Brazilian Portuguese-speaking Blackjack tables, including Blackjack Clássico, Blackjack Illimitado, and Brazilian Blackjack.
Global fan-favourites such as Crazy Time, and XXXtreme Lightning Roulette will be fully localised and launched in Brazil – delivering world-class entertainment with a distinctly Brazilian flavour. Rounding out the line-up, ICE Fishing – Evolution’s flagship global release for 2025 – will also be customised for the local market and streamed from the new Brazil-based studio.
Natalia Torres, Evolution’s Head of Region Latin America, commented: “We are proud to unveil Brazil’s first fully localised live casino studio. This is a major milestone not only for Evolution but also for the future of regulated iGaming in Brazil. With our industry-proven formats, robust local infrastructure, and unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance, we’re empowering operators to go live with content that genuinely connects with Brazilian players.”
Torres added: “The new studio affords us full flexibility to customise everything – from game selection and dealer language to branding and marketing support. It sets a new benchmark for quality and localisation in Brazil, enabling our partners to deliver a premium, trusted, and highly engaging player experience from day one.”
