Evolution Gaming was established in 2006, which was relatively late in online casino terms. Many other developers had already been around much longer and the first live casinos had been established by Playtech and Microgaming already. But Evolution wanted more and they wanted to become the very best.
They signed their first deals with major customers in 2007, among them Gala Coral, William Hill, Expekt, PartyGaming and GVC. Every year since they’ve managed to sign new deals with more online casinos, who also wanted the very best.
As a result the developer had to open new studios, already quadrupling in size in 2009. Evolution Gaming has studios in Riga, Latvia, as well as in Malta. Their studio in Riga is massive, accommodating more than 100 live tables on nine floors.
Company News Evolution, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has been named Digital Industry Supplier of the Year at the Global Gaming Awards. Read more Evolution enters Colombian market as the first Live Casino provider PR Evolution, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has announced that it has launched its world-leading Live Casino games. In January 2020, Evolution Gaming announced the launch of their new Live Blackjack game – Speed Blackjack. The game was announced as a super-fast Blackjack variant where one feature was changed – the dealing order. According to Evolution’s representatives, with this game, they have changed the way Blackjack has been played for the last hundred years.
The Malta studio is much smaller and focuses on native language tables, which means here you can hear dealers in German, Italian, Swedish, French and other languages to accommodate the needs and wishes of their customers.
Evolution has received many prestigious industry awards and is one of the online casino game developers that boast by far the most licenses, guaranteeing safety and fairness to their customers.
Evolution Gaming is a live dealer streaming platform and is the closest I’ve seen to bringing the excitement of a traditional brick and mortar casino into your home. The charm comes from the professionally trained dealers which you can tell take pride in interacting with the players and enjoying themselves. Other platforms pale in comparison as I’ve seen many a live dealer have this look of boredom with a disinterest in engaging with the players.
In fact, even when there aren’t many players at the table, the live dealers at Evolution Gaming are happy to joke around and converse with the people who are just watching. This liveliness from the dealers really makes the environment a joy to experience and certainly sets the standard for other live dealer platforms and are completely compatible with mobile devices.
Blackjack
Evolution Gaming uses the same set of blackjack rules for all of their tables regardless of which partner casino the games are featured on. The only differences with each table are the betting limit ranges, dedicated (branded tables), overall theme including table color, number of live dealers during a session and so forth.
The rules are as follows:
- Use classic seven-seat tables
- Cards are dealt from an 8 deck shoe
- Shoe is manually shuffled (around halfway through)
- US style deal (dealer cards are one face down, one face up)
- Dealer must stand on all 17’s
- Doubling after splitting is permitted
- Doubling any two cards is permitted
- No hit on split Aces (one card per Ace only)
- Re-splitting is not permitted
- Insurance is available
- Bet Behind is available
- Side bets available: 21+3, Perfect Pairs
With these rules in mind, the house edge comes out to be 0.73%. The 21+3 side bet house edge is 6.29% and the Pairs side bet house edge is 4.10%. They also provide a feature called pre-decision where you can, similarly to poker, make a decision while waiting for your turn to speed things up.
Blackjack Party
Blackjack Party has the same rules as regular blackjack, however, the presentation is more like a TV set with a dealer and a co-host creating a much more lively experience. This dynamic, along with the pumping music and bubbly chat makes for a chilled and fun environment.
These are generally low stakes (£0.50 – £25) tables with 7 seats available although an unlimited amount of viewers are allowed to bet behind any player they choose.
