Playtech has expanded its portfolio of live casino studios with evoke after agreeing to a new long-term deal with the operator.

The third live casino studio for evoke from Playtech, Club Aurora, features classic blackjack tables, roulette and a free-to-play game called Trivia Hub.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Playtech Live team to bring a new and exciting live casino experience to our players,” commented Ofir Gal-Mor, Group Head of Gaming Content at evoke.

“We have had a very successful and long-standing partnership with Playtech, and the addition of these dedicated tables will only enhance our offering and provide our customers with a wide range of games to enjoy.”

Club Aurora will be utilised by evoke’s iGaming brands such as 888casino, William Hill and Mr Green. It is Playtech’s third live casino with the operator following the 888-branded environments and co-branded casino studios launched last year, including Mega Fire Blaze Roulette, Blackjack and localised tables.

George Voyatzis, VP Commercial at Playtech, added: “We are delighted to continue partnering with Evoke Group to launch the three unique dedicated live studios. 

“As Playtech Live continues to lead the way on creating an entertainment-led experience that delivers on both a gameplay and the presentation perspective, we have every confidence that the customers of 888, William Hill and Mr Green will have an exceptional gaming experience.”

Each of evoke’s live casino studios is located at Playtech’s studio in Riga, Latvia, with the tables available across key regulated markets internationally. The evoke-Playtech partnership also covers RNG casino games, poker and bingo offerings.

Playtech has made significant board changes recently, as last week, the supplier announced the appointment of John Gleasure as an independent Non-Executive Director and Chair Elect, replacing Brian Mattingley, who is stepping down.

Gleasure is expected to become Chair next month after Playtech’s annual general meeting.

Meanwhile, evoke is scheduled to publish its trading update for the first quarter of 2025 later this week on 25 April.
