Evolution Adds Three Exciting Titles To Its Growing First Person Range

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, announced the addition of three new titles — First Person Baccarat, First Person Dragon Tiger and First Person Football Studio — to its growing range of RNG (random number generator) games with integrated ‘GO LIVE’ functionality. The new additions are based on three of Evolution’s live dealer tables: the casino classics Baccarat and Dragon Tiger, and the football-themed Top Card variant, Football Studio.

The three latest titles join a richly varied and growing Evolution First Person range that already includes RNG versions of Roulette, Blackjack, Lightning Roulette, Dream Catcher and Mega Ball. Operators can use these RNG-based First Person titles to introduce new players to both casino classics and Evolution’s range of TV-style game show games.

All three games include the ‘GO LIVE’ button, a unique feature of every Evolution First Person game. By clicking this button players are taken on a journey through an in-game portal and directly to the live version of the game. This transition is made as natural as possible as the First Person and live versions of each game have the same game rules and the same familiar, easy-to-use Evolution user interface.

In First Person Baccarat, the game centres around an authentic virtual Baccarat hall, where all players are offered a VIP experience with unrivalled player control and a choice of 12 tables – six standard and six No Commission tables. The game further extends player choice with options to shuffle the shoe, sort tables by streaks and the ability to deal free hands on vacant tables to build trends.

Similarly, First Person Dragon Tiger also puts the player fully in control. In this easy to play RNG game, players simply bet on which of the two cards dealt will be higher, Dragon or Tiger, with the addition of exciting light effects synchronised to game outcomes helping to build player anticipation.

First Person Football Studio is an RNG Top Card game, that again is very simple to play as just two cards are dealt. Those two cards are dealt face-up on a virtual interactive light-up table, styled as a football pitch. Just as in the live Football Studio game, players bet on a Home Win, Away Win or Draw, whilst simultaneously keeping a keen eye on the live match results from global football fixtures displayed in the user interface.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution Gaming, said: “Our goal when creating the First Person games was to make the world’s best RNG table games. When our first two games, First Person Roulette and Blackjack, were launched we agonised over ensuring that the 3D graphics and performance were perfect. We also included the “GO LIVE” button to take players to the live version of the same game. Those first two titles proved incredibly popular so we broadened our goal to include RNG versions of our game show games. Now we’re launching another trio of First Person games to add even more variety.”

Haushalter continued: “Dragon Tiger and Top Card are beautiful in their simplicity, with crisp clean graphics and game play, whereas First Person Baccarat is beautiful in its complexity. This is the first time anyone has tried to create a true Baccarat experience in RNG. Players may choose from their choice of 12 tables based on where the hot trends are, they can deal free hands, cut the cards themselves, and we deal from a true eight-deck shoe and do not digitally shuffle after each round. Baccarat players are notoriously particular, but I am certain they will love what we have created!”

Kindred’s Share of Revenue from High-risk Players Shows Slight Increase

Kindred Group plc’s (Kindred) share of revenue from high-risk players showed a slight increase to 3.2% (Q4 2023 3.1%) in the first quarter of 2024. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the high-risk revenue share decreased marginally. The percentage of detected customers who exhibited improved behaviour after interventions came in at 87.1% (compared to 87.4% in Q4 2023 and 83.0% in Q1 2023). This sustained trajectory in the improvement effect after interventions, observed over an extended period, serves as a testament to the strong dedication and collective efforts throughout the company. It reflects Kindred’s ongoing commitment to fostering positive change within the industry.

“We continue to see our share of revenue from high-risk players fluctuate quarter to quarter, and we are working closely with all teams across the company to support customers towards a more sustainable gambling experience. However, it is encouraging to see that our Journey towards Zero data has steadily decreased since 2020. A similar trend can be seen across the healthier gambling behaviour effect after interventions. This tells us two things: our work is paying off, but we need to continue to push ourselves to propel a sustainable progression,” Alexander Westrell, Director of Communications at Kindred Group, said.

“It was very encouraging to witness the open and transparent discussions at the Sustainable Gambling Conference in London on 20 March, where those with lived experience shared their important stories. Also, it is evident that technology is moving forward, and will provide greater opportunities to detect and intervene in the future. We hope to see more regulators engage with the industry and with experts to secure a more sustainable industry for everyone,” Alexander Westrell added.
