Flutter Entertainment strikes live casino deal with Evolution

Flutter Entertainment has agreed a deal with Evolution to integrate the provider’s live casino portfolio across its Paddy Power and Betfair brands.

Evolution’s entire suite of live casino will go live with the two sports betting brands in H1 2020, including exclusive titles Deal or No Deal and Lighting Roulette.

Evolution Gaming CCO Sebastian Johannisson said: “This is a landmark agreement for Evolution, a significant deal that we have been working towards for a number of years.

Evolution Gaming’s Deal or No Deal

“We are thrilled at the prospect of Flutter Entertainment’s powerhouse brands Paddy Power and Betfair presenting our world-leading live casino offering and we are sure that their players will relish our live gameshows offering.

“Our companies are very well matched in terms of ambition and culture, and we are confident that we are the perfect partner to take their live casino offering to the next level,” he added.

Flutter Entertainment this month agreed an all-share deal to buy The Stars Group (TSG) to create what the two companies claim will be the world’s largest online betting and gaming operator.

Paddy Power commercial director Mike Phelan said: “We have seen the strong performance from Evolution’s product line over recent years.

“We are incredibly excited to be able to extend our offering in the live casino space by offering our players exclusive big brand live games such as Deal or No Deal Live and Lightning Roulette.”

In July, Evolution Gaming reported a 45% rise in Q2 revenues to €85.7m.
