Evolution Extends Rush Street Relationship With First Person Games For Colombian Market
Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has announced that it is extending its relationship with Rush Street Interactive with the launch of six Evolution First Person games for the Colombian online gaming market on RushBet.co.
The six First Person titles — First Person Roulette, Lightning Roulette, Blackjack, Dream Catcher, Baccarat and Mega Ball — are all RNG versions of Evolution Live Casino games that are well established and very popular across Europe and North America.
All of the First Person variants will be added to RushBet.co’s iGaming platform for Colombia and are rolling out gradually over the coming weeks for players on desktop, tablet and smartphone.
Evolution already enjoys a successful relationship with Rush Street Interactive in the USA, having partnered with Rush Street in 2018 to launch a comprehensive Live Casino for PlaySugarHouse.com in the New Jersey market. The PlaySugarHouse.com solution includes an exciting mix of live tables including Blackjack, Roulette, Slingshot Roulette, Baccarat and two Evolution exclusive firsts in online live poker for the US: Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em. A similarly rich Live Casino offering is expected to be rolled out by Evolution and Rush Street in Colombia within the next few months.
Richard Schwartz, President of Rush Street Interactive, said: “RSI partnered with Evolution Gaming because we wanted to offer our RushBet.co players in Colombia a premier Live Casino mobile playing experience. The breadth, variety and innovation of the Evolution games portfolio, and the Evolution services and operational excellence that surround it, give us full scope to achieve that objective.”
Sebastian Johannisson, Chief Commercial Officer at Evolution Gaming, added: “We are delighted to be growing our relationship with Rush Street Interactive, who are at the leading edge of gaming industry convergence, constantly innovating and pushing boundaries. Evolution shares the same ethos, and we look forward very much to building on the successes we have achieved together to date.”
