Evolution AB, a business-to-business provider of online casino products to gaming operators, says it has opened its first-ever live casino studio in Asia.
“Located in Cebu, the Philippines, the studio marks a significant milestone in Evolution’s Asia-Pacific expansion and serves the regulated Philippine online gaming market, which is the first licensed iGaming jurisdiction in Asia,” the firm said in a press release. The company added that the move was “a major step in Evolution’s commitment to delivering localised, fully compliant entertainment tailored to regional markets.”
The operation was launched on Monday in partnership with One Visaya Gaming Corp, a Philippine-based company licensed by the country’s regulator to provide a number of online games, including electronic casino games. “This collaboration allows Evolution to offer its trusted live casino content to operators licensed in the Philippines,” the release stated.
Evolution’s live casino studio in Cebu will initially provide baccarat games. “Lightning Roulette” and other games – including “Marble Race” and “Super Color Game”, which the firm says are “designed especially for players in the Philippines” – and are due to launch later this year.
The release quoted Gionata La Torre, Evolution’s chief executive for Europe, as saying: “We’re proud to launch our first live casino studio in Asia in the Philippines and be part of its regulated online gaming market.”
He added: “This new studio is a major milestone in our long-term commitment to the region.”
Evolution was established in 2006. The firm says it has more than 800 iGaming operators among its customers. The group reportedly employs more than 22,200 people in studios across Europe and North America. The parent company is based in Sweden.
