Live casino provider Evolution Gaming has been selected by Svenska Spel to enter the re-regulated Swedish gambling market.
According to Evolution, the new Svenska Spel live casino service will go live the moment Sweden’s new gambling law comes into effect on January 1, 2019.
Svenska Spel will have access to Evolution’s full portfolio of live games, including exclusive poker variants and exclusive side bets. Svenska Spel is Sweden's largest gaming company and includes such well-known brands as Lotto, Triss, Stryktipset, Oddset, Vegas and Casino Cosmopol. The state-owned firm’s mandate is based on protecting the customer by delivering attractive games in a responsible manner.
Svenska Spel Sport and Casino MD Fredrik Wastenson said: “We naturally carried out a thorough market review with regard to our choice of live casino partner. We are confident that Evolution Gaming offers the very best solution for Svenska Spel and its current and future players. Evolution’s world-class live casino will mean not only the best possible choice of live games for our players, but also highly enjoyable and secure gaming experiences.”
Martin Carlesund, group CEO at Evolution Gaming, said: “This a truly ground-breaking agreement between our two companies, both of which are very deeply rooted in Sweden. Sweden is a key market for Evolution, and we are honoured to have been selected by such a big name in that market as Svenska Spel.”
