Getting bigger is the online casino game provider that stands among the largest.
Evolution Gaming made an announcement on April 12th stating their agreement to acquire Big Time Gaming, a prominent developer of online slot machines.
Evolution has announced in a news release that the agreement’s overall value is 450 million Euros, which will be paid through a combination of cash and shares.
One of the top global authorities in the realm of live dealer games, Evolution Gaming holds the distinction of being the pioneer in introducing regulated live casino games in New Jersey. In addition to offering traditional table games such as roulette and blackjack, Evolution Gaming has gone a step further by developing innovative variations like Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Lightning Roulette, and Dream Catcher. Notably, Dream Catcher stands out among studio games for featuring a bonus wheel.
At present, a wide range of New Jersey online casinos, such as 888 Casino, Hard Rock Casino, Unibet Casino, Resorts Casino, DraftKings Online Casino, Mohegan Sun, and Scores Casino, have partnered with Evolution Gaming to offer live dealer casino games.
With this agreement, they will gain a significant advantage in the creation of advanced slot machines by partnering with Big Time Gaming. Big Time Gaming is renowned for their famous titles such as Bonanza, Extra Chilli, and the highly sought-after game feature Megaways, which is integrated into more than 200 games across various providers.
Jens von Bahr, the chairman of Evolution, stated that the inclusion of Big Time Gaming in our collection of slot brands enhances our prominent position as the foremost supplier of digital casino games globally. He further expressed that Big Time’s emphasis on innovation and the creation of distinctive gaming experiences aligns perfectly with our company’s culture and mindset at Evolution. We eagerly anticipate our continued collaboration and progress together.
According to the statement, the completion of the transaction as agreed is contingent on obtaining regulatory approvals and is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2021.
The agreement unites two prominent players in the online casino game industry: Big Time Gaming, which supplies slot machines to over 350 providers globally, and Evolution Gaming, which offers games to more than 500 operators.
