Key points:
- Caesars Entertainment has partnered with Evolution
- Evolution will now provide its live dealer studio to Caesars
- Caesars Pennsylvanian online casino platforms will now offer a live dealer experience
Caesars Entertainment has announced the launch of a new, branded live dealer studio experience for three of its online casino platforms in Pennsylvania, developed in partnership with Evolution.
The studio will be available to players across Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, and has been provided to Caesars by Evolution, who will continue to run the operation from its Pennsylvania HQ.
At present, Caesars offers the aforementioned online casino applications across five North American jurisdictions; New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario and West Virginia – however, this launch is currently only live in Pennsylvania. As part of the studio's offerings, players will have access to five blackjack tables – one of which is VIP-exclusive, one baccarat table and a roulette table.
Following the completion of its $275m sale of Linq Promenade last month, Caesars has more recently gone on to release a new slot game this week in association with Inspired Entertainment.
On the other side of the deal, Evolution's UK licence is currently under investigation by the Gambling Commission. Moreover, in November the company announced a three-year partnership extension with FanDuel Casino which sees Evolution continue as the platform’s sole live dealer games supplier.
Good to know: Evolution’s latest financial results highlighted a 27.9% increase in Q3 2024 operating revenue year-on-year to a figure of €579m ($596.25m)
Speaking on this latest deal, Jacob Claesson, CEO at Evolution North America, said: “Evolution is excited to take our partnership to the next level by providing a unique live dealer studio dedicated to the Caesars brand in our Philadelphia headquarters. By combining our cutting-edge technology with the unmistakable Caesars brand, this dedicated studio will deliver the elegance and thrill of Caesars Palace to online players in Pennsylvania.”
“The new studio is truly stunning and showcases the incredible potential of live dealer casino gaming. We are extremely happy and proud to support Caesars in their efforts to elevate their player experience and continue to raise the bar for online casino entertainment.”
This point was built upon by Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital, who added: “Creating a fully customized live dealer studio with our partners at Evolution has heightened the user experience on our online casino platforms by providing a Las Vegas Strip-style experience directly in the palm of our players' hands.”
“We’ve taken inspiration from the iconic designs at Caesars Palace to complete this world-class studio in Pennsylvania, from the legendary Julius Caesar statue down to flooring patterns and wall coverings at the destination. The result is an aesthetically unmatched live dealer experience that pays homage to our renowned brand.”
