Evolution Gaming vs. Light & Wonder - Legal Dispute Over Roulette Innovations
February 7, 2019 Alex Hoffmann
Leading producers of live casino solutions and gambling software, Evolution Gaming, will introduce a brand-new addition to the catalog at ICE 2019. The supplier is exhibiting at stand N2-230 from February 5th to 7th at ExCeL, London and visitors will be presented the following products: Deal or No Deal, Lightning Dice, Free Bet Blackjack plus one extra game, whose nature is still unknown.
The company’s chief product officer, Todd Haushalter, said about the latest contribution to the portfolio:
“This really is the start of a new era where entertainment is at the core of the new games we are making. Netflix, YouTube and video games are the alternative to online gaming, so games need to be both great gaming experiences and entertaining.”
The interesting fact about the game is that it can be played along with other punters from the comfort of one’s home 24/7.
Evolution Gaming is redefining live casino entertainment with its groundbreaking products each year, and this time its showcasing nine more games at ICE. Apart from the aforementioned variations, the game studio will roll out Super Sic Bo with supercharged random multipliers, Side Bet City poker game with an 80s theme, two exclusive RNG games – First Person Dream Catcher and First Person Lightning Roulette. Finally, the aggregator will demonstrate 2 Hand Casino Hold’em, as well as Infinite Blackjack.
Haushalter provides more details:
“We wanted to stay true to the game show that people know and love, retaining the engaging presenter and the thrill of awaiting the offer from the banker but all the while making it compatible for online players as a live game. With that in mind, we embarked upon what has been the most complex studio that Evolution has ever built to date.
The game has a mix of RNG elements allowing players the chance to win big, as well as the universally recognisable studio set design and rich sound effects for UI actions recreating the atmosphere of the hit TV show and bringing that to online gaming.”
As one of the leading suppliers of live games to the US and the entire iGaming industry, Evolution has set up high goals for the conference, primarily aiming at new audiences and player types. Haushalter reveals that the company’s mission for 2019 is to “reach an entertainment standard so high that people would want to watch the progress of the game even if they weren’t players in it, just as they would watch the TV show.”
Chief product officer comments further:
“We have never introduced so many games at one time. Following our successes with Lightning Roulette, we naturally feel pressure to deliver more truly unique games that not only engage today’s players but also provide new levels of entertainment and immersion.
There is a real buzz around the company because we are confident we have met that challenge with this stellar line-up of new games. We are so very proud to be working with such a landmark famous name as Deal or No Deal, as well as showcasing incredible specialty games — all developed in-house by our immensely strong and talented team.”
