Evolution Announces 100 Games For 2024 in Video
Live casino game developer Evolution has given a preview of what the rest of 2024 has to offer. In a recent Youtube video Chief Product Officer Todd Haushalter takes his time to delve into the more than 100 game launches planned for this year.
Haushalter kicks off the video by highlighting some key achievements and prospects for the next few years. He says that partners of the Evolution Group are increasingly requesting “tools” to better reach their clients. This includes requests for tailor-made casino bonuses for players and providing access to AI integrations developed by Evolution. Haushalter states that partners want to see more benefits from their relationship with Evolution as a so-called One Stop Shop (OSS). Haushalter announces that new tools and features are “on the way”.

More Than 100 Games in 2024
The video swiftly moves on to the more than 100 games planned to be launched by the Evolution Group this year. Alongside its flagship brand Evolution, the umbrella of the Evolution Group as an iGaming powerhouse includes other providers like Big Time Gaming, Nolimit City, and Red Tiger Gaming. The purchase of streaming platform LiveSpins in February 2024 has added a new name to their portfolio. Through this acquisition, Evolution says it wants to revolutionise the market by allowing viewers of gambling-related streams to place live bets whilst watching live streams. Haushalter believes this creates a sense of “team spirit,” which is further enhanced by the integration of a chat function.
Balloon Race Live is the first pokie vs. live casino game discussed in the video, bringing together the best of online pokies and live game shows. The base game follows the format of an online pokie, with the objective being to release the hot air balloons and make it to the top during the balloon race. Triggering the bonus round leads players to a live casino studio.

Stock Market Live
Also featured in the video is Stock Market Live, a rather remarkable title that was already announced in February. This game comes with a stock market theme, allowing players to bet on whether stock prices will rise or fall. Stock Market Live has two phases: the betting phase and the trading session. Once the stake is accepted, it will be added to the player’s stocks wallet. The trading session starts once after the bet is made. Through a dynamic graph the player will be able to follow whether they have made a successful trade or not.
According to the Chief Product Officer, traditional live casino games remain vital. This is especially true for games with an Asian theme. In the next few months, Evolution plans to introduce a Lightning variant of Dragon Tiger to cater to this growing demand. With the launch of Lightning Dragon Tiger Live it will join other Lightning-variants such as Lightning Roulette Live, Lightning Lotto Live and Lightning Baccarat Live.
Another live table game on the horizon is Always 8 Baccarat Live. In this Baccarat variant, the game always begins with an 8, considered a favourable card for players in the game of Baccarat. Other game rules are not too different from standard Baccarat.

Evolution’s Most Anticipated Game In 2024
Expectations are especially high for Lightning Storm Live which Haushalter describes as one of the most spectacular live game shows hitting the market this year. Introduced as the “predecessor to Lightning Roulette,” the game show has a dark theme, transporting players back to the early 20th century. A Frankenstein-look alike will make his way to the grid, giving players some extra reason to properly prepare themselves for what seems like a bumpy ride. It is not yet known when the games will be available at online casinos in New Zealand.
