Evolution Gaming ink live dealer casino deal with DraftKings

Live casino specialists Evolution Gaming have agreed to help expand the online gambling offering of DraftKings.

On Thursday, the Stockholm-listed Evolution announced that it had inked a deal to supply DraftKings with a live casino product from Evolution’s live dealer studio in Atlantic City. Evolution’s AC studio already provides live casino services to a who’s who of New Jersey-licensed online gambling operators.

DraftKings, which until last year was a pure DFS operator, has become a leading sports betting operator in many states where such activity has been authorized and was the first operator to offer online betting New Jersey. Last December, DraftKings’ New Jersey site debuted its online casino offering, the first time the company had offered any casino products anywhere.

Thursday’s announcement gave no hint on when DraftKings’ live casino might launch, and Evolution’s chief business officer James Stern would only say that his company would “very much look forward to working with DraftKings on this project.”
