Product has released in partnership with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

The gaming giant Evolution has today announced the beginning of a partnership with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). This deal sees the supplier provide the region with live online casino services, broadcast from the company’s Vancouver studio.

"OLG is a leader in the digital gaming space, and we're thrilled to be able to work with Evolution to extend our online game offering," said Dave Pridmore, OLG's chief digital and strategy officer.

"We want to provide the best live dealer experience available, and we are confident that our players will love the quality and the choice of these games, playing at tables with other Canadian players and game presenters."

Per the agreement, Evolution will provide a number of live dealer and RNG games including Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat. These will all feature alongside OLG’s suite of lottery, slot and e-instant games.

Jeff Millar, commercial director, North America at Evolution, added: "This latest signing further strengthens our position in Canada. From the start, our intention was to create a world-leading Live Casino studio with the capability and capacity to service all the Canadian lotteries. 

“We are excited to provide OLG our growing library of live dealer games and sharing the invaluable insight we have gained in serving the other Canadian provinces."

This is Evolution’s fourth such agreement in Canada, adding to partnerships with Loto-Québec, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and Alberta’s AGLC.  

Earlier this month Evolution launched a similar product for Penn National via a dedicated live online casino studio in New Jersey. This marked the latest expansion of Evolution’s partnership with Penn’s Barstool brand, following the launch of live online casinos in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
