Evolution Gaming ink Intralot live casino deal as Livingstone cashes out

Live casino technology specialists Evolution Gaming have gained a new global partner while one of its major investors looked to cash in his chips.

On Tuesday, Evolution announced a new ‘strategic partnership’ with Greek lottery/betting operator Intralot that will see Evolution provide live casino services to Intralot’s entire global market. Intralot has a presence in 44 regulated markets, although not all of them permit online casino play.

Evolution says the deal will allow it to launch live casino products in “several existing and new operations of Intralot.” Evolution chief commercial officer Sebastian Johannisson said his outfit was “delighted and honored” to have been selected by Intralot for this service, while Intralot CCO Nikos Nikolakopoulos welcomed Evolution as “a trusted member of our third-party ecosystem.”

Evolution is currently in the process of acquiring RNG casino supplier NetEnt, which has been branching out into the live casino space. While the live casino offering remains a minnow compared to NetEnt’s RNG operations, the company announced a new live casino deal with UK-listed online gambling operator 888 Holdings last week.
