Eyebrows are raised as Pragmatic Play pushes its way into yet another large online casino, and you have to ask yourself if Evolution has encouraged these deals. The once predominantly Evolution and NetEnt Casumo live dealer section will now add Pragmatic Play alongside its newly installed series of Playtech Live and long-running Evolution live table games.
Pragmatic Play continues its impressive run after penning in new deals with CryptoBet & VideoSlots this week, and then today tweeted their third new online casino agreement–this time with Casumo, which is a UKGC and MGA licensed online establishment with tens of thousands of members.
Casumo already has a deal in place with Pragmatic Play to offer its casino players video slots. This latest announcement is to confirm that there is now a live casino agreement in place as an extension to their existing relationship. The casino will host live tables such as Azure Roulette and Blackjack as well as the brand new Mega Ball game show via Pragmatic Play’s single-API portfolio.
Casumo Casino
As far as global casinos go, Pragmatic Play landed on their feet once again. Casumo casino hit the online wires in 2012 and is now popular in some of the largest English-speaking iGaming markets in the world. Its website has multiple casino versions that specifically target New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom. You could also count India as many of the country’s citizens use English as their preferred language.
Other regions Casumo has available on its ‘select your country’ options include Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Austria, and South Korea while there is a ‘Rest of World’ option. Its popularity speaks for itself earning this year’s 2020—Best Online Operator at ICA Awards, and in 2019 the casino won the ‘Best Online Casino Operator’ at the IGA Event.
Thanks to the latest Pragmatic Play deal, Casumo Casino will now offer a range of live dealer games from 3 live casino game manufacturers while members also have access to video slots, sports betting, and virtual table games from a wide range of other software providers.
Live Dealer Bonus Friendly!
Casumo is also a live casino game friendly casino when it comes to bonus deals. Its Welcome Bonus and many of the regular bonus deals allow players to use their bonus money to bet on live dealer tables games such as roulette and blackjack as well as on live wheel games with 10% of bets contributing towards wagering requirements.
Pragmatic Play Live will compete with Playtech & Evolution on Casumo Casino
As with recent deals made with other online casino operators and aggregators, Pragmatic Play Live tables will now go into competition with Evolution on the casino’s platform. Meanwhile, we reported earlier in the month after that Playtech signed an agreement with Casumo Casino.
Playtech is also one of the most popular live casino brands in the iGaming industry thanks to its large range of online slots and live dealer games. For Evolution the continued expansion of both Pragmatic Play Live and Playtech Live across multiple continents means that the brand’s runaway live casino operations will need to stay ahead of the game and continue to produce high-quality live dealer content.
Is Evolution pushing Pragmatic Play Live’s iGaming live casino surge?
The closure of NetEnt Live thinned some online casinos live dealer sections, and what we are seeing is many of them adding Pragmatic Play. Most casinos want to grow their live dealer sections, not shrink then, which the latter is exactly what Evolution practically made NetEnt Live casinos do.
It could be that casinos like Casumo instantly signed deals with Pragmatic Play and Playtech to fill the void and show their players that it is always looking to extend its live dealer game catalogue. Although, the timing could just happen to be a coincidence. Evolution only closed down NetEnt Live studios at the beginning of December, and we would assume that it would take longer than just a few days for an agreement between the flurry of online casino operators signing up Pragmatic Play Live to thrash out a deal.
Since NetEnt LIVE closed, Pragmatic Play has been signed up by Kindred, NetBet, VideoSlots, and CryptoBet all of which happened to have NetEnt live dealer at their casinos. Maybe they all saw what was coming and decided not to put all their eggs into 1 basket and rely entirely on Evolution live dealer games to bring in table game players to their casinos!
