Evolution Extends Partnership with British Columbia Lottery Corporation

Evolution, a leading supplier of live casino games, has continued its expansion in the North American region after extending its partnership deal with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC).

Through its collaboration, Evolution Gaming will offer its two new high-limit live casino table games to players in the following regions:

• British Columbia
• Manitoba
• Saskatchewan

The deal covers Evolution’s VIP Blackjack and VIP Baccarat. Evolution Gaming streams these high-limit games from its modern Vancouver studio in real-time. The 16,000-square-foot studio opened in 2018 and was created specifically to offer live casino services to the BCLC in Canada. Note that BCLC’s PlayNow.com Lottery is the only regulated live casino site in British Columbia.

While announcing the plan in April 2017, Evolution Group CEO Martin Carlesund, said:

“Entering the Canadian market with BCLC signifies a huge breakthrough, outside of our European operations. Through this new partnership, we are confident we will deliver the very best Live Casino experience for BCLC players, and an exceptional Live Casino studio facility for BCLC and other Canadian lottery jurisdictions in the future.”

The launch of VIP Blackjack and VIP Baccarat expands Evolution’s collection of live dealer games in the Canadian province. Evolution also offers VIP variants of French Roulette and European Roulette. The games boast rich surroundings with friendly live dealers and high minimum bets.

Commenting on the launch, Jeff Millar, Chief Commercial Officer at Evolution in North America, said:

“Our initial agreement with BCLC, over five years ago now, was instrumental in Evolution creating its Canadian live casino studio – our first major expansion outside of Europe back in 2018. Since then our relationship with BCLC has gone from strength to strength. We are proud to launch these new VIP tables and confident that VIP players will be attracted by this premium online gaming experience.”
