Ezugi was already operating in several US markets as well as Europe, LatAm, and South Africa prior to the buyout, and Evolution already operated in the US and Romania. At the time, only Ezugi and Evolution were operating live dealer offerings in the disparate regulated US markets and Evolution had eight global studios with one in New Jersey’s Atlantic City.
Ezugi was founded in 2012 and entered the US market in 2016 prior to the acquisition by Evolution.
Cricket War Live Coming Under UKGC License
Ezugi will bring 11 of its most popular games to the highly regulated UK marketplace having secured three certifications from the UKGC including games, security, and studio certificates. The company will operate under the Evolution UKGC license.
In recent times the operator has focused on offering native language games and tables as well as region-specific games. In addition to launching with blackjack, roulette, auto-roulette, Lucky 7, and Dragon Tiger, games from the Ezugi Indian Catalog like Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, Bet on Teen Patti, and Cricket War will also debut.
The game selection is expected to appeal to a broad cross-section of Brits with the added attraction of specific, localized titles.
UKGC Certificates Mark Milestone of Excellence
Pang Goh, Business Development Director at Ezugi said: “This is a very significant step for Ezugi and its growth. Obtaining the UKCG certificates signifies our continuous efforts to reach the absolute highest industry standards. Our license is acquired under Evolution Malta Limited, and we are pleased to have our best games finally certified.
“I believe that UK operators will benefit from Ezugi’s expertise in not only localised content and markets, but also from our large and innovative games offering. We are looking forward to this next chapter and to provide our best performing games to UK players.”
While quietly establishing itself as the world’s largest and best-known supplier of live casino games, the Stockholm-based Evolution [EVVTY:(OTCMKTS)]
has also acquired other prominent companies, not the least of which is NetEnt. They also bought out Big Time Gaming PTY Ltd., the creator, and owner of the Megaways slot mechanic. The game enhancement has been licensed and utilized by several other developers with the Megaways portfolio now numbering more than 100 titles.
