Sweden-based provider of live-dealer online casino games, Evolution Gaming will be rolling out its platform to Pennsylvania after receiving a license for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). The gaming service provider began its US expansion bid in New Jersey where it received a “preliminary waiver” to launch its platform. Now that it has the green light to proceed with its operations in the Keystone State, it can check off one of the largest gambling markets in the country off of its list of potential markets.
According to James Stern, Evolution’s Chief Business Development Officer — America & Land-based, there has been a huge demand for the company’s Live Casino services in the United States. As such, Evolution Gaming will be further extending its reach in the country by opening a standalone studio in the Keystone State. The exact location of the studio is yet to be revealed but it has since been confirmed that it will be serving both online and land-based casinos in the state.
“We are looking forward to opening up our world-leading Live Casino portfolio to operators and players in the state of Pennsylvania,” Stern commented on the company’s license approval in Pennsylvania.
For the Pennsylvanian rapidly growing gambling market, the entry of Evolution Gaming is set to have a huge impact especially considering how much the gaming service provider has revolutionized the gambling industry. Evolution’s live-dealer offerings are very popular around the world and this has earned it partnerships with top gaming operators from all around the world.
Gambling.com Signs Major Investment for Marketing Platform
Gambling expansion in the United States has made the market very attractive to a number of business entities and one other notable one is Gambling.com which has recently scored a lucrative investment deal. The deal is set to foster the creation of a new performance marketing platform which will be used for the entire online gambling ecosystems in the United States.
The investment deal has been signed with Edison Partners, a growth equity investment firm – it will be investing a whopping $15.5 million into Gambling.com’s equity. This money is reportedly going to be used for “general corporate purposes” and in the acceleration of certain investments in the United States’ gambling market.
“Edison is the right partner at the right time, and I expect our collaboration to deliver powerful results. Their investment in the Group validates our thesis that we are the performance marketing and content platform best positioned to benefit from the expansion of regulated online gambling in the United States,” Charles Gillespie, the CEO of Gambling.com.
Already, the gambling market in the US is thriving thanks to the legalization and regulation of more gambling verticals across several states. These new developments will propel the market to even more growth with both gamblers and the economy being the beneficiaries.
