Evolution Gaming Provides Update On Coronavirus. Strong Demand For Live Casino.

Evolution Gaming, the industry’s leading producer of fully-integrated B2B Live Casino solutions, has issued a press release to inform all parties concerned about the latest developments in the context of the global spread of coronavirus.

The company continues to conduct daily operations without any significant disturbances as the demand for the brand’s products including Live Blackjack and Live Roulette remains strong.

Evolution said all necessary precautionary measures and policies were applied across all the studios with disinfection, distancing and separation of employees, temperature checks at studio entrances, increased cleaning, and hand hygiene being an inseparable part of daily routine.

In order to maximize…

… the effectiveness of infection prevention activities, a number of employees, whose physical presence at the studios is not essential, now work from home. At the moment, the company performs operations in eight locations trying to adjust to the current situation and monitoring closely its development.

Martin Carlesund, CEO of Evolution Gaming, commented:

”It is a turbulent time and it is inevitable that COVID-19 also impacts our business, but all employees are now doing a hard and fantastic job. Calm and methodical with the right decisions every day, we are slowly moving forward. We work in a precautionary manner and according to national guidelines to protect the health and safety of our employees.

We have a strong financial position, and in the midst of all this, we experience a high demand for Live Casino. With the safety of our employees as a priority, we are doing our utmost to continue delivering the market’s leading product.”

According to the statement, Evolution experiences a relentless high demand for the company’s Live Dealer products since many punters decide to switch to casino games in the absence of sports betting. The latter came as a result of the majority of sports events around the world that have been suspended. To meet the growing needs for Live casino tables, Evo may consider adjusting the studio capacity.

Given the outstanding fiscal 2019, Evolution faces the following months with confidence and planning to present its interim report for January-March 2020 on April, 23.

In February, the Sweden-based enterprise entered the South African market and also was named Online Casino Supplier Of The Year at ICE London in February showcasing a striking lineup of 12 new titles. Apart from Instant Roulette, Lightning Baccarat, and Craps, the gambling audience was introduced to Power Blackjack, Speed Blackjack, as well as two engaging games – Crazy Time and Mega Ball.
