Evolution Gaming, that provides video-streamed live dealer gaming solutions for gaming operators worldwide announced today about the going live of its new Canadian Studio.The new state-of-the-art studio in Canada, in the New Westminster area of British Columbia has gone live today.This new purpose-built Live Casino production complex is Evolution’s eighth studio and the first major expansion outside of Europe.
This is the outcome of an agreement to provide Live Casino solutions for BCLC (British Columbia Lottery Corporation). This vast studio that stands within 16,000 square feet is located above the newly developed Anvil Centre alongside the Fraser River and the revitalised, award-winning Westminster Pier Park.
Live Casino games and services will be provided initially for BCLC (British Columbia Lottery Corporation) from here via the corporation’s PlayNow.com website.
Live Roulette, Blackjack, and Baccarat games have been launched by the studio with the intention of expanding services within this space as well as roll out Live Casino solutions for operators in other Canadian provinces. These provinces operate non-competitively in Canada’s regulated market, so will be able to share generic Live Casino tables, while also having the option to offer their own dedicated tables.
The new studio has created 50-plus new jobs for local people and is expected to create a total of around 170 new jobs over time as operations expand.
As well as being a first for Evolution in North America, the new Vancouver studio is the first Evolution studio to operate with its own dedicated, standalone data centre.
The Evolution Group CEO, Martin Carlesund commented: “After months of planning and hard work by Evolution and BCLC staff we are delighted that the new studio is now live and serving online players in British Columbia. We are also very excited about the future. BCLC has a strong multi-channel, multi-product offering, now made even stronger with the addition of world-class Evolution-powered Live Casino. We see this as the initial phase of a long-term partnership with BCLC and other Canadian operators. There are many more opportunities to enrich the player experience online, including delivering truly convergent solutions such as Dual Play live tables that allow online and land-based play at the same table.”
Monica Bohm, BCLC’s Vice-President, eGaming, said: “This is a stunning new facility that we believe will have a positive impact in so many ways. The addition of new and innovative products from Evolution’s Live Casino portfolio for existing and new players to enjoy helps keep BCLC at the forefront of gambling entertainment. At the same time, we are creating jobs locally. And of course, as a crown corporation owned by the Province of British Columbia, our revenues go towards supporting community initiatives, health care and education across the province.”
