Evolution Gaming Secures Wynn Partnership in the USA

The United States has always been a land of opportunity for the online gambling vertical. Those who were fortunate enough to be involved in the pre-UIEGA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006) online gambling boom wistfully refer them as the ‘good old days’.

However, as with any emerging technology vertical, there comes a time when regulators step in and review the financial impact, social impact and best regulatory practices to safeguard all involved.

The best-case scenario post this review period is a stable more secure marketplace that provides customer security and financial stability for operators and local government.

 Online Casino Regulation in the USA

While the US took the better part of seven years to launch a fledgeling online casino licensing process, they delivered what has proven to be a safe and financially viable regulatory framework which has garnered praise and support from would-be operators.

In keeping its constitution, the various US states have the authority to allow or deny online gambling within their borders. To date, online gambling is legal to players in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware with several others in the process of applying their own regulations.

Naturally, this has led to a stringent review of the technology that allows for access control in and out of regulated states and strengthening of inter-state bonds amongst those looking to offer regulated gambling.

 Growth of US Live Dealer Gambling

The live dealer casino market has seen massive growth spurt over the last few years globally, and when it comes to live dealer games the Evolution Gaming is the clear market leader.

It should come as no surprise that the newly regulating United States gambling niche has proven to be a massive area of opportunity for the company with their US-wide partnerships including names such as BetMGM and William Hill.

The most recent announcement by the company announced one of their most impressive agreements yet, as they become the sole supplier of live casino content for Wynn Sports Interactive (WSI).

Robert Amerine, VP Corporate Development at Wynn Resorts, said of the agreement:

“Wynn is a brand synonymous with casino. Our clear goal is to ensure that our players have access to the world’s very best online live dealer and RNG table games. Working with Evolution we are confident we are delivering the best possible quality and choice to our players.”

The roll-out of the partnership will begin with Wynn offering their New Jersey player base Evolution games which are live-streamed out of their Atlantic City studio. The game selection will include Evolutions world-class Roulette, Blackjack, Infinite Blackjack, Baccarat, Three Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and their bespoke Dream Catcher game show title.

The New Jersey launch will pave the way for Wynn to roll out their newly acquired live dealer casino games to all the regulated states they are licensed to operate in. From this vantage point, 2021 has the potential to be an exciting and entertaining year for live dealer fan in the US.
