Evolution Live Games
Evolution is the largest supplier of live dealer games to online casinos. The company has run live casino studios since 2006 and states on its website that it operates more than 2,000 live tables and game show environments, delivered in 15 languages. If a casino has a live lobby, most of its tables and game shows usually come from Evolution. This page groups the range by category and lists the figures that matter when choosing a game.
The Evolution Group
Evolution AB is a Swedish company listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Besides its own live studio brand, the group owns several slot and live brands, which is why many lobbies carry games from the group under different names:
| Brand | Main products | Example titles on BetsAuthority |
|---|---|---|
| Evolution | Live dealer tables and game shows, First Person (RNG) games | This page |
| Ezugi | Live dealer tables, including regional games | — |
| NetEnt | Video slots | Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest |
| Red Tiger | Video slots, daily jackpots | Dragon’s Fire |
| Big Time Gaming | Megaways slots | Bonanza Megaways |
| Nolimit City | High-volatility slots | Mental |
| DigiWheel, Sneaky Slots | Smaller brands within the group | — |
Our provider profile of Evolution covers the company in more detail.
Game Shows
Game shows combine a presenter, a physical wheel or other device, and animated bonus rounds.
| Game | Year | Format | Highest listed RTP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dream Catcher | 2017 | 54-segment money wheel, 2x/7x multipliers | 96.58% |
| MONOPOLY Live | 2019 | Wheel + 3D board bonus | 96.23% |
| Deal or No Deal Live | 2019 | Qualifier + briefcase round | About 95.42% |
| Crazy Time | 2020 | Wheel + Top Slot + 4 bonus games | 96.08% |
| Funky Time | 2023 | 64-segment wheel + 4 bonus games | 95.99% |
The group’s range also includes ball-draw games such as Mega Ball and MONOPOLY Big Baller, and newer titles such as Ice Fishing, which Evolution features on its brand page. Each has its own help screen with the RTP per bet.
Roulette
Evolution runs standard live roulette tables and several multiplier variants.
| Variant | Key feature | Note |
|---|---|---|
| European Roulette (live) | Single zero | 97.30% RTP on all standard bets |
| Immersive Roulette | Multiple camera angles, slow-motion replays | Same maths as European roulette |
| Speed Roulette | Shorter betting window | Same maths, more spins per hour |
| Lightning Roulette | 1 to 5 random “lucky numbers” per spin with 50x–500x multipliers | Straight-up bets pay 29 to 1 when not struck; RTP 97.30% |
| XXXtreme Lightning Roulette | Higher multiplier range | See help screen for RTP |
| Auto Roulette | No dealer; automated wheel | Fastest spins |
The key trade-off in multiplier roulette: straight-up numbers pay 29 to 1 instead of 35 to 1 unless a multiplier lands on them. See our live roulette guide for table selection.
Blackjack
Live blackjack comes in two main formats:
- Seated tables (7 seats): classic blackjack where each seat is played individually. When seats are full, other players can use Bet Behind on a seated player’s hand.
- Unlimited-seat formats such as Infinite Blackjack, where every player receives the same initial cards and makes independent decisions, so tables never fill up.
Multiplier and side-bet versions (for example Lightning Blackjack, and side bets such as Perfect Pairs and 21+3) change the payout structure; check the help screen for the RTP of each. Our live blackjack guide explains the rule variations that move the house edge.
Baccarat and Dragon Tiger
Evolution’s baccarat range includes standard live baccarat, Speed Baccarat (shorter rounds), Squeeze Baccarat (cards revealed slowly), Lightning Baccarat (random multipliers funded by a fee on each bet) and Dragon Tiger, a single-card comparison game. Banker and Player odds on standard tables follow normal Punto Banco rules; see Speed Baccarat for the details of the fastest version.
Poker Tables
All three main banked poker games are offered live:
| Game | Main-game house edge (standard paytable) | Our guide |
|---|---|---|
| Casino Hold’em | 2.16% | Casino Hold’em |
| 3 Card Poker | 3.37% (Ante/Play) | Three Card Poker |
| Caribbean Stud Poker | 5.22% | Caribbean Stud |
Dice Games
- Craps: live craps with the standard Pass, Don’t Pass, odds, place and proposition bets. See craps bets and odds.
- Super Sic Bo: three-dice Sic Bo with random multipliers on selected bets; base payouts on those bets are reduced to fund the multipliers. See Sic Bo rules.
First Person Games
“First Person” titles are RNG versions of live games (roulette, blackjack, baccarat, Dream Catcher, craps and others) with a studio-style interface. They run without a dealer, start instantly and often allow lower minimum bets. Settings can differ from the live versions, so check the RTP in each game.
How to Choose an Evolution Game
- Compare RTPs in the help screen. The spread is wide: from about 99% or more on some blackjack tables with correct strategy, to around 91% on the weakest money-wheel bets.
- Check minimum and maximum bets. Each casino sets its own table limits within Evolution’s range.
- Consider round length. Game shows and speed tables complete more rounds per hour, which increases your total stake per hour.
- Check bonus terms. Live games often contribute 0% to 10% towards wagering, and some casinos exclude them completely.
