Live dealer games have grown from a niche into a core part of the online casino offer. Constant advances in streaming technology and growing appetite for digital entertainment let players sit at a real table from home, an experience a land-based casino cannot offer in the same way. Our live casino bundle shows how the studios below fit together.
The market outlook points the same way: online gambling is projected to reach $103 billion in 2025 and $169.22 billion by 2030, a CAGR of 10.44%, and live casino is one of the drivers of that growth through higher player engagement.
How we compared the studios
Choosing a live casino partner is one of the bigger content decisions an operator makes. We looked at the leading studios on the points that matter in practice, namely studio locations, game range, stream quality, integration, languages, licences and extra features, and summarised the results in a table at the end of this page. Every studio listed can be connected through our casino games aggregator.
Evolution: the benchmark for live dealer games
Evolution’s record in live casino is hard to match: it held the top spot in the EGR live casino supplier category every year from 2010 to 2017. The company was founded in Sweden in 2006 and initially worked with other operators, before opening its first proprietary studio in Riga, Latvia, in 2009; studios in Malta and Tbilisi followed.
Its catalogue spans classic and innovative games, from countless blackjack, roulette and baccarat versions to game shows, with options for branded tables. More than 3,000 dealers work in English, French, Swedish, Turkish, Russian, Danish, Greek and Italian, and every session streams in excellent quality from purpose-built studios. For close to two decades, Evolution has set the quality standard for the segment.
NetEnt: slot heritage, live tables
Founded in Stockholm in 1996, NetEnt is best known as one of the leading slot providers, with licensed hits such as Aliens, Scarface and South Park and a string of EGR awards, but it also streams world-class live casino games in HD. NetEnt Live Casino launched in 2016, the year the company joined the World Lottery Association. Partnerships with Norsk Tipping and BCLC followed in 2018, and the live division opened its own auto-roulette studio. In 2020 NetEnt was acquired by Evolution in a deal worth about $2.09 billion.
