Evolution Gaming is a leading provider of live dealer games to online casinos. Two of its products are in the news. Lightning Roulette has just been bestowed with a precious industry award. Infinite Blackjack brings a new feature to live dealer games.

Evolution Gaming has announced that its Lightning Roulette game has been named Game of the Year at the EGR Operator Awards. The awards ceremony was held at Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Ten other gaming suppliers were shortlisted for the prestigious award, which recognizes the developer of the stand-alone game that has made the biggest impact during 2018. Evolution’s Lightning Roulette is a unique combination of RNG and live casino action that has proved to be immensely popular with players across Evolution powered online casinos. The winning number is decided by the spinning of a live roulette wheel. At the same time a random number generator reveals up to five Lucky Numbers with payout multipliers of up to 500x. If you have bet and won on one of the Lucky Numbers then your normal payout is enhanced by the multiplier.

Speaking at the ceremony, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer Todd Haushalter said, “We were particularly nervous with such tough competition in this category of Game of the Year and we are honoured that our peers in the industry and our customers have voted Lightning Roulette the Game of the Year for 2018.” This is the second award for Lightning Roulette in just a few weeks.

Evolution Gaming unveiled Infinite Blackjack, which is the first totally scalable live blackjack table. Its unique feature is that it provides an unlimited number of seats at a single blackjack table as against the seven seats at a traditional table. Infinite Blackjack guarantees players a blackjack seat at all times, eliminating any waiting at live dealer casinos.

Online players take their virtual seats at the table, with a mix of physical and virtual cards being dealt in real time by the live dealer. A limitless number of players are dealt the same initial two-card hand, but thereafter each player can make their own betting decisions and end with a different hand.

Todd Haushalter said that with Infinite Blackjack Evolution has finally cracked the code on how to make a one-to-many blackjack game fun and without having to make any rule changes. The advanced game software combines the live dealing of physical cards and virtual cards directly to each individual player.
