Evolution Gaming, provider of live casino igaming solutions, has launched the world’s first and only online live Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker, complete with a unique ‘first five’ progressive jackpot starting at €50,000.

Created in partnership with Games Marketing, the launch adds another poker variant to the company’s live table games portfolio.

The new game, available on desktop, tablet and smartphone, streams live from studios in Riga and offers a double bonus for players in the form of two optional side bets: bonus bet and first five progressive jackpot. Both side bets offer separate extra chances to win alongside the main Texas Hold’em game, no matter what hand the dealer achieves.

The optional Bonus Bet pays up to 1,000:1, while the progressive jackpot side bet offers a progressively increasing top-level prize for a Royal Flush.

It also gives players the chance to win lower fixed Jackpot prizes for a range of other poker hands.

Todd Haushalter, chief product officer at Evolution, said: “The game is already well-established in the RNG and land-based casino worlds, so being the first and only live provider to offer Texas Hold’em Bonus is exciting for us.

“This is the first time we have ever launched a new game with a progressive jackpot on day one.”
