[COMPANY NEWS] Evolution today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Gaming Arts LLC. Under the terms of the deal, Gaming Arts will adapt a select group of NetEnt’s most celebrated online slot tiles for land-based casinos.
Launching in North America in Q4 2025, four iconic NetEnt titles will be made available for land-based casino play on Gaming Arts’ suite of high-performance MOD EX cabinets.
Divine Fortune ranks as the number one online slot title for Evolution in the United States, and has also spawned the highly successful sequels Divine Fortune Megaways and Divine Fortune Black. Now the classic Divine Fortune —and a new sequel, Divine Fortune Ascension — will make their land-based debuts. Developed in collaboration with Gaming Arts, these new titles build on the success of the original and, in the latest Ascension variant, add a fresh twist — an all-new three-pot perceived persistence feature designed to heighten engagement.
Starburst, meanwhile, is NetEnt’s top-performing online slot globally, inspiring sequels such as Starburst XXXtreme and Starburst Galaxy. Now, for land-based casinos, Starburst is to be released as a two-game multi-pack containing a version of the classic Starburst and a new title called Starburst Supernova. Both of these new land-based games come in a multiplayer-enabled format and feature a new persistent bonus that leads players to a hold-and-spin feature.
Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “Since the beginning of online gaming, content has traditionally flowed in one direction — from land-based casinos to online. That approach made sense, as it brought proven experiences to digital audiences. What excites us now is reversing that trend by taking some of the most successful games in the history of online gaming and bringing them to land-based casinos. Evolution is thrilled to be at the forefront of this shift. This collaboration, initiated together with our land-based slots partner Bluhare Studios, allows us to bring our world-class IP to the incredibly talented team at Gaming Arts, and watching them work their land-based magic to adapt and reimagine our games has been truly inspiring.”
Greg Colella, Chief Product Officer of Gaming Arts, added: “We are delighted to be working with Evolution, which has long been an industry leader in creating compelling content for online gaming. We are collaborating closely with the Evolution team to effectively adapt these classics for land-based play, while also innovating to create fresh, engaging experiences that will resonate with today’s casino players.”
