Michigan is an important market for us, and this new studio allows us to further enhance the player experience while increasing our capacity to offer our world-leading live casino content to operators and players across the state.”   

“Beyond expanding our live dealer offering, this studio creates new employment opportunities within the Grand Rapids community. The launch of the Grand Rapids studio reflects Evolution’s continued commitment to investing in regulated U.S. markets, delivering premium entertainment experiences, and supporting local economic growth.”  

Evolution currently operates live casino studios across multiple regulated U.S. jurisdictions and continues to expand its North American presence to meet increasing player demand for high-quality online live gaming entertainment.
