[COMPANY NEWS] Evolution marks its 20th anniversary today, celebrating two decades of growth, innovation, and leadership in the global online gaming industry.
Founded in 2006 with a single studio in Latvia and a bold vision to revolutionise live casino gaming, Evolution has grown into a global organisation with more than 22,000 employees and operations spanning six continents. What began as a European live dealer platform has developed into a network of 24 studios worldwide, supported by engineering hubs and commercial offices in more than 30 countries.
Over the past 20 years, Evolution has continuously expanded both organically and through strategic acquisitions, strengthening its portfolio and diversifying its capabilities across live casino, game shows, slots, RNG, mechanics and player engagement tools – reinforcing its position as a full‑spectrum B2B provider.
Innovation has been a defining force throughout Evolution’s journey. The company has pioneered entire product categories – most notably the Game Shows genre, launched in 2017 with Dream Catcher. Iconic titles such as Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time and MONOPOLY Live have redefined player engagement and entertainment standards. In recent years, Evolution has maintained an industry-leading release cadence, launching more than 100 new games annually.
Strategic partnerships have also played an important role in Evolution’s success, including long-standing and renewed collaborations with worldclass brands. The signing of a new multiyear agreement with Hasbro in 2025 further underscores Evolution’s ability to combine powerful brands with innovative gameplay and production excellence.
Today, Evolution serves more than 770 operators across a wide range of regulatory frameworks and ownership models, from stateowned to public and private operators. Its portfolio has grown from a handful of live tables to more than 2,000 live tables globally, a number that has doubled over the past five years alone — reflecting the scale and momentum of the business.
At the heart of Evolution’s success are its people. Employees – known internally as EVOlutioneers – play a central role in driving innovation, maintaining quality and delivering excellence across all markets. From those who helped build the company in its early years to the thousands who have joined more recently, Evolution’s culture of creativity, ambition and operational discipline remains a core competitive advantage.
Looking ahead, Evolution views its first 20 years as just the beginning. With continued investment in new games, new studios, new technologies and new markets, the company remains focused on pushing boundaries, raising industry standards and shaping the future of interactive entertainment — while building on the strong foundations laid over two decades of growth, innovation and leadership.
