London’s Ritz Club, Atlantic City’s Golden Nugget take online live dealer plunge

Live dealer online casino specialists Evolution Gaming have inked a deal to bring London’s exclusive Ritz Club casino to the online masses, assuming those masses can afford a membership.

On Monday, Evolution announced it had agreed to provide a live casino service for the Ritz Club that includes an on-premise Dual Play Roulette offering as well as a selection of live casino games hosted at Evolution’s studio in Riga, Latvia. The service will launch later this year.

The Dual Play Roulette table will be located in the Ritz Club’s principal gaming salon. In a bid to replicate the exclusive club’s ambience, the online lobby leading to the Ritz’s live dealer tables will feature plenty of Ritz-appropriate branding (presumably, a doorman staring dismissively down his nose at you). As usual, you’ll have to be a Ritz member to gamble at its online tables.

Evolution’s chief strategy officer Fredrik Osterberg said his outfit was honored to be associated with the Ritz, “a name synonymous with exclusivity, luxury and the very essence of fine gaming.” It’s the second London casino convergence deal for Evolution in as many months, following a pact with the Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square.
