Evolution has rolled the dice once more with the launch of its live craps online casino game in Michigan, following approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board. Players in Michigan can now enjoy this exciting addition to the online gaming landscape through popular platforms such as BetMGM, BetRivers, PointsBet, and PokerStars Casino.
Michigan now joins Pennsylvania and New Jersey as the third US state to experience the thrill of Evolution’s live dealer craps game. This game initially made its debut in Europe in 2020, and its journey across the Atlantic has created quite a buzz among American gamers.
Jeff Millar, CCO for North America at Evolution, on the Game’s Significance
Jeff Millar, Chief Commercial Officer for North America at Evolution, expressed his pride in the game’s expansion, saying, “We are so proud that this game was the very first online live craps game in the industry. In every state so far, its launch is seen as a true landmark moment because craps is such an iconic game with a long and colorful history in the US.”
Evolution’s live craps brings the electric atmosphere of a traditional craps table along with the ambiance of the speakeasy era to players’ screens. Millar is confident that players in Michigan will embrace and love the excitement that this live craps game delivers.
Expanding Presence Across North America
In a strategic move to broaden its presence in North America, Evolution recently reached an agreement with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) to launch Mega Ball for players in Canada. This milestone signifies the introduction of the renowned game to the North American market, solidifying the enduring partnership between Evolution and BCLC.
Under this agreement, BCLC becomes the first Evolution client in North America to launch Mega Ball from a North American-based Studio. This signifies a groundbreaking development in the Canadian market, introducing game-style online entertainment from a Vancouver-based studio location.
Michigan’s Thriving iGaming and Sports Betting Market
