Evolution Launches Live Casino Games in Delaware with BetRivers

Evolution has officially launched its online live casino offerings in Delaware’s regulated gaming market, partnering with Rush Street Interactive, Inc., which operates the BetRivers brand. This collaboration will see Evolution’s live games featured in Delaware Lottery’s three online casinos: Delaware Park Casino, Bally’s Dover Casino Resort, and Harrington Raceway & Casino. While Delaware Park and Harrington are accessible through the BetRivers multi-state platform, Bally’s Dover Casino Resort offers its own standalone app.

Expansion into Delaware’s Market

This launch is a significant expansion for presence in the US market. Following the successful introduction of its online slots in Delaware via the BetRivers platform, this latest development marks the debut of Evolution’s live casino games in the state. The live dealer games now available include Live Roulette, Blackjack, Infinite Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, and popular Poker variants such as Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.

Jacob Claesson, Evolution CEO for North America, expressed his excitement about this launch. “We are delighted to partner again with Rush Street Interactive for another momentous launch in Delaware. There has been huge anticipation around the arrival of our live online games in Delaware, particularly since our March 2024 online slots launch, as our unique and innovative live games are so well known and have proved so enormously popular in other US markets.”

Claesson continued, “Delaware is our sixth US state and this live games launch further reinforces our standing as the market leader in online gaming in the US. We are confident that Delaware’s online players at BetRivers will absolutely love the quality and extended choice. Our live games add a new dimension of excitement to the player experience, as they bet in real-time, with real dealers, and alongside fellow online players.”

Enhancing the Gaming Experience

Richard Schwartz, CEO of Rush Street Interactive, emphasized the value this launch brings to Delaware players. “BetRivers in Delaware is thrilled to offer players the chance to virtually play on Evolution’s world-renowned live tables. We are confident that the live dealer online casino will be very popular as the live dealer games offer the same level of excitement as playing in a land-based casino.”

This partnership follows the March 2024 launch of Evolution Group’s top online slots from brands like NetEnt, Red Tiger, and Big Time Gaming on the BetRivers platform in Delaware. Adding live dealer games further expands the variety and quality of gaming options available to players in the state.

Future Prospects and Legislative Developments

While Evolution and BetRivers enhance considering legislation to create an open-regulated sports betting market. House Bill 365, sponsored by Representatives Franklin Cooke and William Bush, proposes amending Delaware’s gaming law to allow multiple operators rather than one exclusive operator. This could lead to partnerships between sports betting operators and video lottery agents, potentially introducing more competition in the market.

BetRivers holds the exclusive operating license, having taken over from 888 last year. If the proposed legislation advances, the competitive landscape in Delaware’s online gaming market could see significant changes, providing more options for players and operators alike.
