Evolution Gaming – Software Review

Evolution Gaming is a privately held provider of live dealer casino software in Europe. The founders have been in the industry since its beginnings and were involved in Asian live casino software in the past. 

Evolution has managed to license its software to a number of European sportsbetting and casino companies including:

Blue Square – Platinum rated

Coral - Gold rated

Expekt – Gold rated

William Hill

Evolution Gaming’s live casino software is no download, which means that when you click on a game it starts immediately. This is great if you don’t want to wait for a download or don’t want to install Casino software on your computer. It also means that it will work on many Mac’s.

Evolution Gaming offers live Blackjack, live Roulette and live Baccarat. There don’t appear to be plans for any more which is a shame as other software providers are innovating with new games. The games are reasonably fast, but the clunky graphics mean that it is not always easy to play. The buttons and menu’s in particular mean that it can be hard work playing for a long time. The video stream is reliable and is integrated beautifully into the tables so you really feel like you are in the Casino playing. The live Roulette game is the best of the games on Evolution Gaming, with lots of stats available with a single click for players that want to study the game and make informed betting decisions. 

The dealers are predominantly Eastern European and beautiful. They all speak good English and are eager to chat and help players.

Due to the lack of tables at Evolution Gaming’s Live Dealer Casino, it can sometimes be hard to get a seat at a Blackjack table, especially in the evenings. To get round this, try playing with a Casino that has its own tables like Coral. That way, you’ll have a better chance of having a box open for you to play at. Be aware though, that table limits can be quite high so make sure your bankroll is big enough for the private tables!

Alternatively, play at a Playtech Casino or at Dublinbet where they have provided sufficient tables to deal with high demand from live casino players. The software is also more reliable and they both have faster games.

There are still reliability issues with the webcam casino software, but as every hand is stored on the casino’s servers you’ll never loose a winning bet.

Conclusion: Evolution Gaming has been awarded a Silver rating by WLD in recognition of the relatively easy to use and fun Live Dealer Casino. The games need a lot of work to bring them up to the usability and reliability of their rivals, but its still worth checking out their Casinos.
