Evolution Expands U.S. Live Casino Reach with Ezugi Launch

Evolution has officially introduced Ezugi as its second live dealer brand in the U.S. market, marking a major step in the company’s expansion strategy across North America. With operations now live in New Jersey, Ezugi is broadcasting from Evolution’s cutting-edge studio in Atlantic City. The move brings a broader variety of live casino experiences to regulated American markets and aligns with Evolution’s push to diversify its offerings.

The company also revealed that it plans to extend Ezugi’s presence into Michigan, where a new studio is set to open in Grand Rapids during the first half of 2026. This facility will host an array of live games from both Evolution and Ezugi, further enhancing the studio’s portfolio.

Blending Innovation with Local Flavor

Ezugi’s inclusion complements Evolution’s existing catalogue by adding localized titles and inventive spins on traditional casino favorites. This collaborative approach enables U.S. gaming operators to present a more dynamic and tailored selection of live casino content to their players.

Initial games available from Ezugi in New Jersey include EZ Baccarat, known for its wide popularity in North American land-based casinos. The game stands out with its distinctive ‘Panda 8’ and ‘Dragon 7’ side bets, features developed in partnership with Galaxy Gaming. Additionally, players can access Ultimate Auto Roulette, a visually engaging game staged in a chromakey circus-themed setting.

Coming soon to the lineup is Revolution Roulette, which spices up the standard roulette format by incorporating physical multiplier pockets—2x, 3x, and 5x—directly onto the wheel. All of these games are seamlessly integrated through Evolution’s One Stop Shop (OSS) platform, which facilitates rapid deployment across licensed markets.

Strategic Growth Through Brand Diversity

Commenting on the launch, Jacob Claesson, CEO of North America at Evolution, emphasized the strategic importance of Ezugi’s U.S. debut: “Introducing Ezugi as our second live casino brand in the U.S. is an important step in our North American growth strategy. Ezugi’s distinctive portfolio complements Evolution’s world-leading game shows and live casino range, enabling operators to deliver an even richer, more varied live gaming experience tailored to U.S. players.”

The upcoming Michigan studio will showcase additional Ezugi titles, such as Ultimate Roulette and 000 Roulette, when it becomes operational in 2026. These releases are part of a broader push to bring Ezugi’s successful international formats to American players.

Another anticipated addition is Ezugi’s Marble Race series. This RNG-based game features five marbles racing along a custom-designed track, providing an exciting new form of digital wagering. With the ability to incorporate operator branding, Marble Race is geared toward enhancing player engagement in unique ways.

By integrating Ezugi into its U.S. operations, Evolution continues to strengthen its reputation as a leading live casino provider, offering a rich blend of high-quality, innovative, and localized content that appeals to a wide audience across regulated states.
