EVOLUTION LAUNCHES FOURTH US LIVE CASINO STUDIO, SERVING NEW CONNECTICUT MARKET

AGLC is live with an initial six live dealer games from Evolution, including Roulette, Infinite Blackjack, Baccarat and Ultimate Texas Hold’em. There are plans for further Evolution live games to be added in the months ahead.

In 2019–20, more than $1.4 billion in net gaming income was generated for that fund by AGLC.
