Press Release 23rd March 2020 – Impact on studio operations in Georgia

Evolution Gaming has been instructed by Georgian authorities to temporarily close the floor operations at its Tbilisi site.

As a consequence, the workforce will be significantly reduced.

A large part of the operations will be able to continue through the company’s other studios in Europe.

The Tbilisi studio adheres to current guidelines regarding social distancing and the company has taken an extensive number of infection prevention measures in the studio.

Evolution Gaming is in close contact with local authorities in order to verify the taken measures and to be able to reopen the studio.

The situation is developing, and Evolution will adapt continuously.

As previously announced, Evolution operates studios in 8 locations, and the company has routines for redundancy and continuity in the respect of studio operations.

Press Release Ends

Comment

This is not the first closure of a live casino studio, as the Phillipines Government made the same request to operators in Manila last week.

It’s no surprise really and I don’t think this will be the last of the closures.

Fortunatley Evolution will be able to spread capacity across the rest of it’s network, so the impact to online casinos is likely to be kept to the minimum.

Players will find it harder to get seats at some blackjack tables while some online casinos will no longer have access to their dedicated table environments while the studio is closed.

If you’d like to understand the impact more I’ve written an article that explores the impact of the cornavirus to online live casinos.

About Neil’s Casino Comparer Reviews

I have tried to be objective and consistent with all my live casino reviews. Hopefully, they will strike a chord with you, but I thought it might be helpful to explain the criteria I use to mark each of the casinos. Hopefully, the categories and explanations make sense.

Playability – What is the overall impression of the casino? Did I have a good time? are the dealers nice and chatty and is everything easy to understand? Does it have a good set of games and is there a comprehensive set of betting options? Are high stakes players taken care of?

Software – What is the software like to use and does it integrate well with the rest of the casino?. Are the images clear and is the video streaming fast? Have they taken more than the default shared tables? Is it available on mobile?

Payment Options – Does the casino have a good variety of payment options? Do they payout quickly and on time?

Security – How good is the reputation of the casino amongst other players? Do they hold a valid gaming license? Are they transparent about the security measures they have in place? Are they regularly audited? Do they publish this information?

Support – Do they have multiple methods for communication with me? Is support available 24×7? Do they have instant chat and are they quick to respond? Are they able to help me immediately? Do they have an online FAQ and self-help library? Are the support people knowledgeable about the product I’m playing?

Bonuses – Do they have bonuses?. How strict are the wagering requirements? Do they offer repeat bonuses?. Do they offer loyalty points and can they be redeemed for cash or playing credits?

After all that, would I play there regularly?
