SunBet announce strategic partnership with evolution

It’s one of the most significant moves made in the industry by a South African company in a long time.

Evolution is the best at what they do. If you want live casino content that is innovative and has real variety, look no further. So, you could say it’s somewhat of a serious move by SunBet to bring them into the fold. They’re recognised for positives such as hiring hosts and croupiers too. So, if they set up base in South Africa, it could create some extra employment opportunities.

The strategic partnership between SunBet and Evolution will see the latter get to work on adding to what is a renowned sportsbook. There will be several live casino games on offer, and they will include your classic table titles such as blackjack, poker and roulette, as well as game shows and board games.

SunBet will see the above arrive immediately, with titles such as Dream Catcher, Crazy Time, Gonoz’s Treasure Hunt Live, Deal or No Deal Live, and more, all part of the extensive catalogue that SunBet can now dip into on-demand. There will also be an offering from Ezugi, but this will come to fruition at a later date. But the wait shouldn’t be too long.

The agreement between the pair is effectively the combining of two giants in their field. Sun International, who run SunBet, are arguably the largest land-based casino venue operator in South Africa, and these gaming sites are set within luxury resorts and five-star hotels.

The expansion into the field of live and interactive casino content will not only enable significant improvements to the experience on offer, but will provide jobs and more within the gaming and hotel industry. So, it’s a beneficial move for South Africa as a country and Sun International, SunBet, Evolution Gaming, and others involved.

There will also be more flexibility because some people can’t get to the land-based venues or won’t find it convenient to do so. Now, they can log on to the online service and enjoy the land-based experience on-demand, from wherever they are and at times convenient to them.

Speaking on the strategic partnership, Nitesh Matai, Sports Betting General Manager at Sun International, suggested that the “world-class Evolution and Ezugi online live dealer offering now takes the online services for their customers to the next level.” He also believes that a new generation of incredibly entertaining live game shows will offer “huge variety and choice.”

Dean Finder, CEO of Evolution Services SA, was equally as enthusiastic about the deal, “We are enormously excited by the potential of the SunBet partnership. Our live dealer solutions are extremely complementary to the existing Sun International and SunBet offering, not only in terms of replicating the land-based gaming experience but also by extending and diversifying their existing and very strong online sports betting offering.”
