Evolution today announced the opening of its newest live dealer studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan, marking the company’s seventh live casino studio in the United States and its second studio serving the Michigan market, following the launch of its first Michigan studio in 2021. The new studio further strengthens Evolution’s commitment to the growing North American online gaming market.

The new studio will provide an expanded portfolio of live dealer gaming experiences for players across Michigan through both Evolution and its sister brand, Ezugi. The Grand Rapids studio will feature a range of live casino games, including Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and innovative live dealer titles such as Ice Fishing and XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, set to launch later this year. Through Ezugi’s portfolio, operators and players will also gain access to an expanded selection of tables and game variations tailored to diverse player preferences, including EZ Baccarat and Triple Zero Roulette.  

Jacob Claesson, Chief Executive Officer of Evolution North America, commented: “We are incredibly excited to open our new Grand Rapids studio and continue expanding Evolution’s presence in the United States. 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.
