Live Casino Comparer Comment

Well, this is a turn up and something I hadn’t expected. BetFair & Paddy Power have firmly been in Playtech’s camp, with both having made huge investments in their live casino products with dedicated environments and tables.

This will undoubtedly help both brands attract more live casino players, as Evolution offer an exclusive range of Live Entertainment games, not matched by Playtech.

Whether there’s room for both suppliers only the future will tell.

Personally I hope they are able to keep both. A Playtech Evolution Mix is an ideal marriage for players and it would be a shame to see them split. There is precedence thought, as Playojo currently has games from both suppliers.
