Canadian government launches first live casino site

[The Buzz]

Evolution Gaming announced today that its new state-of-the-art studio in Canada, in the New Westminster area of British Columbia, has gone live.

The 16,000 square-foot studio is Evolution's eighth and the first outside of Europe. Live casino games and services will be provided initially for the British Columbia Lottery Corporation via the PlayNow.com website.

From The Daily Telescope:

The studio has launched with Live Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat games, but with the intention to expand services within this space and roll out Live Casino solutions for operators in other Canadian provinces. These provinces operate non-competitively in Canada's regulated market, so will be able to share generic Live Casino tables, while also having the option to offer their own dedicated tables.


The new studio has created 50-plus new jobs for local people and is expected to create a total of around 170 new jobs over time as operations expand.


As well as being a first for Evolution in North America, the New Westminster studio is the first Evolution studio to operate with its own dedicated, standalone data centre.
