Evolution live casino app games

Who makes Evolution live casino app games

Evolution was founded in 2006 by Jens von Bahr and Fredrik Österberg and is headquartered in Stockholm, with its shares listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. It began as a specialist in streamed live dealer tables and grew into one of the biggest names in the category, then bought several of the best-known slot studios. The company describes everything as built in-house, from studios to streaming technology.

For UK players, Evolution's games are supplied under a Gambling Commission licence held by Evolution Malta Holding Limited. As with any supplier, you never open an account with Evolution: you join a live table through your casino app, and the casino holds your balance and applies your limits.

The main types of Evolution live games

Evolution's live catalogue falls into three broad groups, and each behaves differently on a phone.

Classic live tables

Blackjack, roulette and baccarat with a real dealer, a real wheel or real cards. These are the closest thing to a casino table, with bets placed during a short countdown. See our guides to live blackjack, live roulette and live baccarat.

Lightning and multiplier tables

Lightning Roulette is the best-known: a standard single-zero wheel where random numbers are struck before each spin and carry multipliers. To fund those multipliers, the regular payout on a straight-up number is lower than the usual 35 to 1. The game's help screen shows the exact payouts and RTP.

Game shows

Crazy Time, Monopoly Live, Dream Catcher, Deal or No Deal Live, Funky Time and Mega Ball are presenter-led formats built around wheels, boards or draws. Our live game show apps page compares them, and the game show entry explains the format.

How Evolution games look on a phone

Evolution's mobile layouts are built so you can play with the phone upright. In portrait, the video sits at the top of the screen and the betting area fills the bottom half, with a chip rack along the lower edge. Turn the phone sideways and most games switch to a wider view that shows more of the studio and a fuller betting layout.

Common controls are in similar places across Evolution games: the chip rack at the bottom, Undo and Double or Repeat buttons beside it, the betting timer near the top of the betting area, and the menu (history, help, settings, chat) behind an icon in a corner. Our guide on how to play live casino on mobile walks through a full round.

Data, battery and connection on live games

Live games stream continuous video, so they use far more data than slots, which mostly download once and then send small messages per spin. An hour of live play on mobile data can use a noticeable share of a monthly allowance, and higher video quality uses more. Many live games include a video quality option in their settings menu; choosing a lower setting reduces data use and can smooth out a weak connection.

• Use Wi-Fi where you can. It is cheaper and usually more stable. See Wi-Fi vs mobile data.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi for real-money play; see casino apps on public Wi-Fi.
• Expect battery drain. Streaming video with the screen on at full brightness empties a battery faster than slots.
• If the stream drops, bets already accepted are settled under the game rules, and the outcome appears in your history.

Our guide on how live casino streams work on mobile explains the technology, and the casino app data usage page shows how to track it.

Odds and house edge in Evolution live games

Every live game has a house edge, and in game shows it varies by bet spot. A standard single-zero roulette wheel has 37 numbers but pays 35 to 1 on a single number, which gives a house edge of 2.70% (1 in 37). Over a very long run that is about £2.70 lost for every £100 staked, though any session can be very different.

Game shows are more complicated: each segment of the wheel or bonus bet has its own return, and some are noticeably lower than others. Evolution publishes the figures in each game's help screen. Before you bet, open the menu, tap Help or Game rules, and look for the return to player list. A side bet at a blackjack or baccarat table usually has a higher house edge than the main bet too.

1. Join the table and wait for the stream to load.
2. Tap the menu icon, usually in the top or bottom corner.
3. Open Help or Game rules.
4. Scroll to Return to player and note the figure for each bet you plan to use.
5. Close the menu and place bets within your budget before the timer runs out.

UK rules that apply to Evolution live casino app games

Since 17 January 2025, the Gambling Commission's rules on autoplay and speed have applied to online casino games other than slots: no autoplay, and at least 5 seconds per round. Live games are naturally slower than that because of betting windows and dealing, but you will not find an autoplay button. The £5 and £2 per-spin stake caps apply to online slots, not live tables; each table has its own minimum and maximum bets, shown on the table card in the lobby.

Credit cards cannot be used to fund gambling in Great Britain, and a casino cannot let you reverse a withdrawal to keep playing. If a live bonus or promotion is offered, wagering is capped at 10x since 19 January 2026. Our UK casino app rules guide covers all of these.

How to find Evolution games in a casino app

1. Open the casino app and log in.
2. Tap Live Casino in the main menu or lobby tabs.
3. Choose a category: Game Shows, Roulette, Blackjack or Baccarat.
4. Look for the game name, such as Crazy Time; table tiles usually show the minimum bet and seats available.
5. Tap the tile to join; add it to favourites for next time.

Some casinos have their own branded tables run by Evolution, with the casino's name on the table. Other live providers, such as Pragmatic Play Live, make similar games, so check the name on the loading screen if you want an Evolution table specifically.

Keeping live play under control

Live games run back to back with no break between rounds, which makes it easy to keep going. Set a deposit limit and a reality check in the casino app before you join a table, and decide on a stop point in advance. Losses are the most likely result over time, because the house edge applies to every round. If gambling is causing problems, the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day, and GAMSTOP lets you self-exclude from every UK-licensed online casino at once.

Where to play Evolution live casino app games

Evolution games appear in the live sections of many UK-licensed casino apps, but the tables on offer differ from one operator to the next, so open the Live Casino tab and search before depositing. The apps below are licensed, and their store listings mention live casino; their welcome offers are slot-focused. 18+, terms apply.
