Key points:
– Inspired Entertainment launches branded Hybrid Dealer Roulette in Canada with Loto-Québec
– The game is the first of its kind in the Canadian market
– Combines virtual graphics, real hosts and multiplayer functionality in a single product
Inspired Entertainment has launched its first branded Hybrid Dealer Roulette game in Canada through a new partnership with Loto-Québec.
The game, now live on the provincial lottery’s online platform, is the first of its kind in the country and uses CGI visuals alongside pre-recorded dealer footage and multiplayer gaming elements.
Hybrid Dealer is a proprietary product category developed by Inspired, aiming to replicate a live casino atmosphere through virtual means.
Features include countdown timers, leaderboards, chat functionality and synchronised game results. The product is designed to bridge traditional table gameplay with gameshow-style entertainment for online users.
Brooks Pierce, Inspired President and CEO, commented: “Bringing the first branded Hybrid Dealer Roulette game to Canada is a significant achievement for Inspired. This innovative product exemplifies our dedication to delivering engaging, social and captivating gaming experiences.”
Good to know: Earlier this month, Inspired completed a £270m ($363m) debt refinancing package and secured a £17.8m revolving credit facility
The game’s Canadian launch follows recent moves by Inspired to expand its iGaming portfolio, including new content partnerships with Caesars Entertainment and Ivy Casino.
In the UK, the company launched a roulette product with bet365 and extended a supply agreement with Moto Hospitality earlier this year.
The deployment in Québec also highlights Inspired’s wider strategy of combining its content library with new delivery methods to target regulated digital markets. According to company data, the “Interactive” segment of its business grew by 49% in Q1 2025, helping offset weaker performances in other verticals such as virtual sports.
Loto-Québec’s platform has become a key testing ground for international suppliers looking to deploy new content in a tightly regulated Canadian environment.
Inspired has not yet confirmed whether further Hybrid Dealer titles are planned for additional jurisdictions.
